Let G be a locally compact group. Consider the Banach algebra L1(G) ∗∗, equipped with the first Arens multiplication, as well as the algebra LUC(G)∗, the dual of the space of bounded left uniformly continuous functions on G, whose product extends the convolution in the measure algebra M(G). We present (for the most interesting case of a non-compact group) completely different – in particular, d...

SCIENCE Geological History In past discussions and speculations concerning the early peopling of the New World, the hypothesized "migration cor-ridor" between the Cordilleran and Lau-rentian ice sheets has figured prominently (1). By contrast with this much-mooted route east of the Rocky Mountains , little consideration has been given to possible routes west of the Rockies. I will examine such ...

A single period inventory model, also popularly known as the Newsboy or Christmas tree problem, is to decide the quantity of a single product to be manufactured or purchased for a single period such that the quantity maximizes (minimizes) the expected profit (cost) under stochastic demand. The earliest works in this area were those by Hadley and Whittin (1963) and Hodges and Moore (1970). The l...

The propionate (Pro), decanoate (Dec) and laurate (Lau) esters of 5-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenylmethylene)-2-thioxothiazoline++ +-3-acetic acid were assessed as substrates for lipase and esterase. On hydrolysis these substrates yield an intensely red coloured phenol which could be assayed at 505 nm. The Pro ester was an effective substrate for porcine esterase and was hydrolysed at a rate 20 ...

Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is a bioactive phospholipid that accumulates during ischemia-reperfusion and is involved in the activation of platelets, neutrophils, and pro-inflammatory signaling. PAF has been suggested to enhance brain ischemia-reperfusion damage. LAU-0901, a novel PAF receptor antagonist, was examined in models of focal cerebral ischemia in rats and mice. Sprague-Dawley rat...

In Indonesia, rainfall is still significant spatially and temporally. order to gain optimal results from utilising water resources, we have ensure that the precipitation data provided in good quality quantity. Several spatial measurement sources become available recent years, such as GPM (Global Precipitation Measure). this study, IMERG V.06 product was evaluated using rain gauge measurements L...
