A Banach space is c0-saturated if all of its closed infinite dimensional subspaces contain an isomorph of c0. In this article, we study the stability of this property under the formation of direct sums and tensor products. Some of the results are: (1) a slightly more general version of the fact that c0-sums of c0saturated spaces are c0-saturated; (2) C(K,E) is c0-saturated if both C(K) and E ar...

Biofilm, a community of bacteria, is tolerant to antimicrobial agents and ubiquitous in chronic wounds. In a chronic DFU (Diabetic Foot Ulcers) clinical trial, the use of a human cryopreserved viable amniotic membrane (CVAM) resulted in a high rate of wound closure and reduction of wound-related infections. Our previous study demonstrated that CVAM possesses intrinsic antimicrobial activity aga...

The research focuses on the tailing dump, which is located in Norilsk industrial region’s (Northern Siberia) territory. difficulty of precisely calculating period tailings consolidation presented itself to authors while they conducted improving technological parameters alluvium. Without resolving this issue, it impossible improve technology In order assure safety and efficiency at all phases co...

Dark soliton formation in mode-locked lasers is investigated by means of a power-energy saturation model that incorporates gain and filtering saturated with energy, and loss saturated with power. It is found that general initial conditions evolve (mode-lock) into dark solitons under appropriate requirements also met in experimental observations. The resulting pulses are essentially dark soliton...

We construct a simple phenomenological theory of phase separation in ternary mixtures of cholesterol and saturated and unsaturated lipids. Such separation is relevant to the formation of 'rafts' in the plasma membrane. We also show how simple cross-linking of proteins which prefer one form of lipid to the other can trigger raft-formation, the first step in a signaling pathway.

Lubell proved this by observing that the left-hand side is a probability: it is simply the probability that a maximal chain, chosen uniformly at random, intersects A. The LYM inequality implies that an antichain in P([n]) has size at most ( n bn/2c ) , the size of the ‘middle layer’ in P([n]). (This can also be proved by partitioning P([n]) into ( n bn/2c ) disjoint chains.) Bollobás’ Inequalit...

Described here are mechanistic details of the chemical reactivities of two modified/saturated pyrimidine residues that represent naturally occurring forms of DNA damage: 5-thyminyl-5,6-dihydrothymine, commonly referred to as the "spore photoproduct" (SP), and 5,6-dihydro-2'-deoxyuridine (dHdU), formed via ionizing radiation damage to cytosine under anoxic conditions and also serving as a genera...

In this paper two formation control strategies for nonholonomic mobile robots with curvature constraints are proposed. The strategies are based on a saturated potential function which makes possible the design of decentralized formation controls scheme and avoids agents collisions considering its dimensions. Provided that the communication graph is always connected, the control strategies guara...
