February 18, 2016 Professor Gio Batta Gori Editor, Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology, 525B Street, Suite 1900, San Diego, CA 92101-4495, USA. Professor Gori, We are writing on behalf of four associations to express our regret and concern regarding the comments made towards the crop protection industry in the December 2015 commentary by Bergman et al. (2015) entitled “Manufacturing Doubt Ab...

For semigroups and for bounded operators we introduce the new notion of Bergman distance. Systems with a finite Bergman distance share the same stability properties, and the Bergman distance is preserved under the Cayley transform. This way, we get stability results in continuous and discrete time. As an example, we show that bounded perturbations lead to pairs of semigroups with finite Bergman...

class HDL2 particles and raised serum apolipoprotein B concentrations. Xanthomata and xanthelasma may relate to low lipoprotein lipase activity (10–12). On a similar theme further questions that need clarity are what about other skin ‘lipid’ stigmata and cardiovascular risk? For example eruptive and tuberous xanthomata are associated with chylomicron syndrome and type III dyslipoproteinaemia, r...

In the current study, we examined the influence of schema consistency on contradictory and additive misinformation. Sixty-four participants were shown a series of still photographs of common scenes (e.g., a kitchen), were later exposed to narratives containing misinformation, and were then tested on their memory of the photographic scenes. In addition, participants were asked to reflect on thei...

We give a necessary and a sufficient condition for the boundedness of the Toeplitz product TF TG∗ on the vector valued Bergman space L 2 a(C ), where F and G are matrix symbols with scalar valued Bergman space entries. The results generalize those in the scalar valued Bergman space case [4]. We also characterize boundedness and invertibility of Toeplitz products TF TG∗ in terms of the Berezin t...

The goal of selective targeting of enediyne cytotoxins has been investigated using estrogenic delivery vehicles. A series of estrogen-enediyne conjugates were assembled, and affinity for human estrogen receptor [hERalpha] was determined. The most promising candidate induced receptor degradation following Bergman cycloaromatization and caused inhibition of estrogen-induced transcription in T47-D...

Let $varphi(z)=z^m, z in mathbb{U}$, for some positive integer $m$, and $C_varphi$ be the composition operator on the Bergman space $mathcal{A}^2$ induced by $varphi$. In this article, we completely determine the point spectrum, spectrum, essential spectrum, and essential norm of the operators $C^*_varphi C_varphi, C_varphi C^*_varphi$ as well as self-commutator and anti-self-commutators of $C_...
