We consider the problem of identifying boundary values of holomorphic functions on (non-smooth) bounded domains in C 2 with boundaries that are Levi-at oo of a small set. Assuming also that the domain is circular, we construct a type of extension operator from the algebra of bounded holomorphic functions on a leaf of the induced Levi-foliation to the algebra of bounded holomorphic functions on ...

gations of others but the bibliographies are not lengthy. The tables are clear and serve to stress points. The material is up to date. All combine to make the book a good starting point for one with propensities toward this field and specifically in rheumatic fever and nephritis. Dr. Maclyn McCarty, the editor, states in the preface that a volume of this type has its inherent drawbacks, namely,...

It is presumptuous for any one person to claim to know another. It is especially so for me to claim to have known, in any total sense of the word, Henry Bunting. For, as I look around this assembly of friends or recall the variety of those who have spoken to me about him during the last few days, I realize how deep, yet how widely-ranging, was his power of friendship. I grew up with him, amid t...

George McDonald Church studied DNA from living and from extinct species in the US during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Church helped to develop and refine techniques with which to describe the complete sequence of all the DNA nucleotides in an organism's genome [4], techniques such as multiplex sequencing, polony sequencing, and nanopore sequencing. Church also contributed to the Hu...

Adult intestinal stem cells (ISCs) possess both a long-term proliferation ability and differentiation capability into enterocytes. As a novel in vitro system for the evaluation of drug absorption, we characterized a human small intestinal epithelial cell (HIEC) monolayer that differentiated from adult ISCs. Continuous proliferation/ differentiation from ISCs consistently conferred the capabilit...

When an unusually gifted scientist passes away prematurely, and when her friendship was so widely treasured , the intensity of sadness is difficult to convey. Cecile Pickart shaped the ubiquitin field for over two decades with equal parts creativity, rigor, and fairness (see photo). Her finest work centered on the polyubiquitin chain, the primary signal for protein degradation by the proteasome...

apostrophe is a figure of speech by which the poet breaks away from the common form of enunciation. it has also a very effective role in awakening and absorbing the audience. in many arabic and persian books on rhetoric, apostrophe is referred to as a “change of view”. there are a few types of apostrophe each of which can be studied in two areas of rhetoric (badi’ & ma’āni) and grammar. conside...

“maqamat” ,written by badi al-zaman hamadani, known as “maqamqt al-kodyah”, is a book written in 4th century (hijra) and the scholars have paid attention to it from that age till now. also the structure trait of maqamat has absorbed effort of researchers to itself and lead them to have less consider to the meaning aspect of this book. therefore some scholars believe that the badi al- zaman’s ef...
