In this article, we prove uniqueness of symmetric positive solutions of the variational ODE system −w′′ + aw − wv = 0 −v′′ + bv − w2 2 = 0, where a and b are positive constants.

Field trips to herbalists' practices in an area about 200 miles around Nairobi (Kenya) enabled us to make a list of medicinal plant species preferentially used to treat malaria. Ajuga remota and Caesalpinia volkensii were further investigated as being the most frequently used species. Aqueous decoctions, ethanol macerates, and petroleum ether, methanol and water Soxhlet extracts of these plants...

Practical applications often need to rank multi-variate records by assigning various priorities to different attributes. Consider a relation that stores students’ grades on two courses: database and algorithm. Student performance is evaluated by an “overall score” calculated as w1 ·gdb+w2 ·galg , where w1, w2 are two input “weights”, and gdb (galg) is the student grade on database (algorithm). ...

We report the draft genome sequence ofArthrobacter antarcticusstrain W2, which was isolated from a wall of a small slaughterhouse in Denmark. The 4.43-Mb genome sequence was assembled into 170 contigs.

The object of the present paper is to study 3-dimensional trans-Sasakian manifolds admitting a W2-curvature tensor. Trans-Sasakian manifolds satisfying the curvature condition S(X, ξ).R = 0 is also considered.

The substituted benzimidazoles omeprazole, lansoprazole, rabeprazole, and pantoprazole were found to have in vitro activity against three different isolates of Plasmodium falciparum: D6 (which is chloroquine and pyrimethamine sensitive), W2 (chloroquine and pyrimethamine resistant), and TM91C235 (multidrug resistant). Lansoprazole and rabeprazole were the most effective against all three isolat...
