in this paper, we introduce the cone normed spaces and cone bounded linear mappings. among other things, we prove the baire category theorem and the banach--steinhaus theorem in cone normed spaces.

We study analytically and numerically a delay differential model of a passively modelocked semiconductor laser subjected to a single frequency coherent injection. The width of the locking cone is calculated asymptotically in the limit of small injection and compared to that obtained by direct numerical integration of the model equations. The dependence of the locking cone on the laser parameter...

The mother or daughter of a male with an X-chromosome-linked red/green color defect is an obligate carrier of the color deficient gene array. According to the Lyonization hypothesis, a female carrier's defective gene is expressed and thus carriers may have more than two types of pigments in the L/M photopigment range. An open question is how a carrier's third cone pigment in the L/M range affec...

We investigated how transient changes of background color influence the L- and M- (long- and middle-wavelength-sensitive-) cone signals in the luminance pathway. Motion identification thresholds were measured for a drifting sinusoidal grating (1 cycle/deg) modulated along different vector directions in L- and M-cone contrast space. The color of a central 4-deg-diameter region was briefly altere...

Cone photoreceptors are required for color discrimination and highresolution central vision and are lost in macular degenerations, cone and cone/rod dystrophies. Cone transplantation could represent a therapeutic solution. However, an abundant source of human cones remains difficult to obtain. Work performed in model organisms suggests that anterior neural cell fate is induced ‘by default’ if B...

This work deals with some problems of constructing and graphical displaying for a class of kinematic surfaces generated by mutual moving ruled surfaces touching one another along their common ruling in each position [1,2]. Exactly, we are dealing with the surfaces generated by movement of a cone fixed ruling during combined movement of the cone with respect to a torse surface [2]. The movement ...

Interstitial branches arise from the axon shaft, sometimes at great distances behind the primary growth cone. After a waiting period that can last for days after extension of the primary growth cone past the target, branches elongate toward their targets. Delayed interstitial branching is an important but little understood mechanism for target innervation in the developing CNS of vertebrates. O...

PURPOSE Due to the low abundance of cone photoreceptors in the mouse retina and the scarcity of alternative animal models, little is known about mechanisms of cone degeneration. Nrl knockout mice develop exclusively the cone-type of photoreceptors. However, the cone photoreceptor layer in Nrl(-/-) mice displays an irregular morphology with severe rosette formation. Retinas of Rpe65(-/-);Nrl(-/-...

the present study is concerned with measuring and simulating soot formation and combustion in turbulent liquid fuel spray flames. soot concentrations inside the combustor are measured by filter paper technique. the simulation is based on the solution of the fully-coupled conservation equations for turbulent flow, chemical species kinetic modeling, fuel droplet evaporation and combustion and soo...
