This paper summarizes a study of the accessibility conditions held in the Fortress of São José da Ponta Grossa (Florianópolis, SC, Brazil), in early 2010, where the goals were analyze the components of accessibility and identify possible solutions to the problems found there. Were used several methods, that complement one with others, to confirm the need for interventions in the fortress and he...

In object-oriented languages, overloaded methods with multiple dispatch extend the functionality of existing classes, and multiple inheritance allows a class to reuse code in multiple classes. However, both multiple dispatch and multiple inheritance introduce the possibility of ambiguous method calls that cannot be resolved at run time. To guarantee no ambiguous calls at run time, the overloade...

A cellular graph is a graph whose edges can be partitioned into 4-cycles (called cells) so that each vertex is containedin at most two cells. We present a \ReductionTheorem" for the number of matchingsof certain subgraphs of cellular graphs. This generalizesthe main result of Ci1]. As applications of the Reduction Theorem we obtain a new proof of Stanley's multivariate version of the Aztec diam...

This lectures were given by Florian Enescu at the mini-course on classical problems in commutative algebra held at University of Utah, June 2004. The references listed were used extensively in preparing these notes and the author makes no claim of originality. Moreover, he encourages the reader to consult these references for more details and many more results that had to be omitted due to time...

Membranes are essential to cellular organisms. They are like fortresses in that they provide a barrier between the inside and outside with guarded drawbridges in the form of proteins that regulate the influx and efflux of material. Unlike the rigid walls of a fortress, membranes are fluid and are able to bend and move. The bricks forming a membrane, called lipids, freely move. Plasma membranes ...

BACKGROUND The benefit of using serological assays based on HEV genotype 3 in industrialised settings is unclear. We compared the performance of serological kits based on antigens from different HEV genotypes. METHODS Taking 20 serum samples from patients in southwest France with acute HEV infection (positive PCR for HEV genotype 3) and 550 anonymised samples from blood donors in southwest Sw...

Abdülkerim Bahman, günümüz Afganistan Türkmen edebiyatının önemli temsilcilerinden biri olmakla beraber, yeterince tanınmış bir şahsiyet değildir. Kaynaklarda onun hayatı ve şiirleri hakkında maalesef yeterli denebilecek bilgi de yoktur. Bu bakımdan çeşitli kaynaklardan dağınık olarak ulaştığımız bilgilerin yanında daha çok kendi ağzından hayatıyla ilgili edindiği-miz bilgilerle çalışmamızı olu...
