Vertex operator algebras (VOA) were introduced in physics by Belavin, Polyakov and Zamolodchikov [BPZ] and in mathematics by Borcherds [B]. For a detailed exposition of the theory of VOAs see [FLM] and [FHL]. In a remarkable development of the theory, Zhu [Z] constructed an associative algebra A(V ) corresponding to a VOA V and established a 1-1 correspondence between the irreducible representa...

BACKGROUND Gastric parietal cells in a baboon were recently found to be auto-fluorescent. AIM To study gastric sections with a fluorescent microscope in a cohort of baboons. MATERIAL AND METHODS Gastric sections from 38 baboons were stained with hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) and examined in a fluorescence microscope (FLM). The thickness of the parietal cell population was assessed at x 10 magnifi...

Purpose: In the present study the incompatibility of FLM (fluvoxamine) with lactose in solid state mixtures was investigated. The compatibility was evaluated using different physicochemical methods such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Methods: Non-Isothermally stressed physical mixtures were used to calculate the ...

Phosphatidylglycerol is one component of amniotic fluid that is unaffected by several of the reported interferences with conventional thin-layer chromatographic measurement of phospholipid. To compare a rapid immunological agglutination test, "Amniostat-FLM", with two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography, we determined phosphatidylglycerol by both methods in 41 amniotic fluid specimens obtaine...

This paper develops and investigates a new approach for evaluating feature based object hypotheses in a direct way. The idea is to compute a feature likelihood map (FLM), which is a function normalized to the interval [0, 1], and which approximates the likelihood of image features at all points in scale-space. In our case, the FLM is defined from Gaussian derivative operators and in such a way ...

For the Learning of Mathematics 28, 3 (November, 2008) FLM Publishing Association, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada The never-ending discussion on the relationship between conceptual and procedural knowledge has important implications for both curricular design and instructional decisions. In this article, we aim to add another layer to this discussion by considering types of knowledge of and about pr...

Abstract Additive manufacturing offers a high degree of design freedom. When Design for Manufacturing is conducted properly, lightweight potential can be exploited. This contribution introduces novel approach the widespread fused layer modelling (FLM) technology when using orthotropic Fibre Reinforced Polymer filament. Its objective to obtain stiff and strong load-path optimized FLM structures ...

The proper timing of flowering is critical for successful reproduction. The perception of the seasonal cues of day-length changes and exposure to cold influences flowering time in many plant species through the photoperiod and vernalization pathways, respectively. Here we show that a plant homeodomain (PHD) finger-containing protein, VIN3-LIKE 1 (VIL1), participates in both the photoperiod and ...

Highly birefringent (Hi-Bi) microfiber-based fiber loop mirrors (FLMs) were studied for tunable comb filters and refractive index (RI) sensors. The use of two cascaded Hi-Bi microfibers instead of a single microfiber allows more flexibility in controlling the transmission/reflection characteristics of the FLM. The length of Hi-Bi microfibers is of the order of centimeters, one or even more than...

Martín Mingorance’s Functional-Lexematic Model (FLM) and Mel’c•uk’s Meaning Text Theory (MTT) are two complementary models of lexical description, which can also be applied to the description of terminological information. The FLM is compatible with general terminology theory because it envisions a lexicon structured onomasiologically in terms of areas of meaning or lexical domains. The MTT is ...
