2. (T) Let CPn be complex projective n-space. (a) Describe the cohomology ring H∗(CPn,Z) and, using the Kunneth formula, the cohomology ring H∗(CPn × CPn,Z). (b) Let ∆ ⊂ CPn×CPn be the diagonal, and δ = i∗[∆] ∈ H2n(CP×CP,Z) the image of the fundamental class of ∆ under the inclusion i : ∆ → CPn × CPn. In terms of your description of H∗(CPn × CPn,Z) above, find the Poincaré dual δ∗ ∈ H2n(CPn × C...

This paper introduces Access/CPN 2.0, which extends Access/CPN with high-level primitives for interacting with coloured Petri net (CPN) models in Java programs. The primitives allow Java programs to monitor and interact with places and transitions during execution, and embed entire programs as subpages of CPN models or embed CPN models as parts of programs. This facilitates building environment...

Cutaneous symptoms are observed in 25%-60% of polyarteritis nodosa (PN) patients. On the other hand, cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa (CPN) is designated for the cutaneous limited form of PN and demonstrates benign prognosis. However, there has been much debate on whether or not CPN can progress to PN. Although CPN lesions are fundamentally limited to skin, some CPN cases show extracutaneous symp...

Callosal projection neurons (CPN) interconnect the neocortical hemispheres via the corpus callosum and are implicated in associative integration of multimodal information. CPN have undergone differential evolutionary elaboration, leading to increased diversity of cortical neurons-and more extensive and varied connections in neocortical gray and white matter-in primates compared with rodents. In...

Pathology consistent with that observed in Alzheimer's disease (AD) has previously been documented following intranasal infection of normal wild-type mice with Chlamydia pneumoniae (Cpn) isolated from an AD brain (96-41). In the current study, BALB/c mice were intranasally infected with a laboratory strain of Cpn, AR-39, and brain and olfactory bulbs were obtained at 1-4 months post-infection (...

Chlamydia pneumoniae (Cpn) could have three distinguishable causal effects as an asthma inducer. First, an acute infection (or reactivation of a latent infection) could cause an acute worsening of preexisting asthma. Indeed, it is generally accepted that acute Cpn infection can cause some acute asthma exacnhations('~*) but most evidence suggests that other organisms [mainly respiratory viruses,...

background: recent studies have suggested that chronic infections with chlamydia pneumoniae (cpn) and helicobacter pylori (hp) may be associated with the risk of myocardial infarction (mi). methods: a cross sectional study was conducted on 140 citizens. seroprevalence was assessed by elisa tests measuring iga and igg antibodies to cpn and hp in sera. results: among patients, %11.4 and %90.0 wer...

With any Petri net we associated its CPN language which consists of all sequences of transitions which reach a marking with an empty place whereas all proper prefixes of the sequence lead to positive markings. We prove that any CPN language can be accepted by a partially blind multicounter machine, and that any partially blind multicounter language is the morphic image of some CPN language. As ...

Human CPN (carboxypeptidase N) is a tetrameric plasma enzyme containing two glycosylated 83 kDa non-catalytic/regulatory subunits that carry and protect two active catalytic subunits. Because CPN can regulate the level of plasminogen binding to cell surface proteins, we investigated how plasmin cleaves CPN and the consequences. The products of hydrolysis were analysed by activity assays, Wester...
