The functional morphology of intrinsic caudal musculature in sharks has not been studied previously, though the kinematics and function of body musculature have been the focus of a great deal of research. In the tail, ventral to the axial myomeres, there is a thin strip of red muscle with fibers angled dorsoposteriorly, known as the radialis. This research gives the first anatomical description...

We present a connected version of the compact L-space constructed by Kenneth Kunen under CH. show that this provides Corson space K such Banach C(K) is isomorphic to no continuous function on zero-dimensional compactum.

The surface mycobiota of three types of Slovenian dry-cured meat products were isolated from a total of 75 items of product that were sampled periodically during the drying/ripening stage of processing. The predominant filamentous fungal genus isolated was Penicillium. Eurotium spp., Aspergillus versicolor and Cladosporium spp. were isolated from only two of the products. Eight Penicillium spec...

Fungi produce a wide range of secondary metabolites such as antibiotics, toxins, alkaloids, fatty acids, ketones and alcohols during active cell growth. The present study aimed to identify the secondary metabolites from some Penicillium species, using GC-MS. Many important compounds such as 3-oxoquinuclidine in Penicillium jenseii, formamidine in Penicillium pusillum, orcinol and 1,3,8-p-mentha...

We show that a compactum is locally connected if and only if every semimonotone mapping onto it is also monotone. If we put open in place of monotone, we obtain the finite compacta; if we put in confluent, we obtain a large class of compacta, the connected members of which are connected im kleinen at each of their cut points.

A compact LOTS has an ω 1 -like base if and only if it is metrizable. An infinite cardinal κ is the Noetherian type of a compact LOTS if and only if κ 6= ω1 and κ is not weakly inaccessible. If X is a homogeneous compactum with regular weight, then every base of X contains an Nt(X)op-like

Let T be an algebraic automorphism of Tm having the following property: the characteristic polynomial of its matrix is irreducible over Q, and a Pisot number β is one of its roots. We define the mapping φt acting from the twosided β-compactum onto Tm as follows: φt(ε̄) = ∑

In this paper we give sufficient conditions for a compactum in R to have Carathéodory number less than n+ 1, generalizing an old result of Fenchel. Then we prove the corresponding versions of the colorful Carathéodory theorem and give a Tverberg-type theorem for families of convex compacta.
