Let $S$ be a semitopological semigroup. The $wap-$ compactification of semigroup S, is a compact semitopological semigroup with certain universal properties relative to the original semigroup, and the $Lmc-$ compactification of semigroup $S$ is a universal semigroup compactification of $S$, which are denoted by $S^{wap}$ and $S^{Lmc}$ respectively. In this paper, an internal construction of ...

I review our understanding of the structure and kinematics of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), with a particular focus on recent results. This is an important topic, given the status of the LMC as a benchmark for studies of microlensing, tidal interactions, stellar populations, and the extragalactic distance scale. I address the observed morphology and kinematics of the LMC; the angles under w...

OBJECTIVE The objective of study is to evaluate the incidence of leptomeningeal carcinomatosis (LMC) in breast cancer patients with parenchymal brain metastases (PBM) and clinical risk factors for the development of LMC. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 27 patients who had undergone surgical resection (SR) and 156 patients with whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT) as an initial treatment f...

All of the proposed explanations for the microlensing events observed towards the LMC have difficulties. One of these proposed explanations, LMC self-lensing, which invokes ordinary LMC stars as the long sought-after lenses, has recently gained considerable popularity as a possible solution to the microlensing conundrum. In this paper, we carefully examine the set of LMC self-lensing models. In...

Signal relay by guidance receptors at the axonal growth cone is a process essential for the assembly of a functional nervous system. We investigated the in vivo function of Src family kinases (SFKs) as growth cone guidance signaling intermediates in the context of spinal lateral motor column (LMC) motor axon projection toward the ventral or dorsal limb mesenchyme. Using in situ mRNA detection w...

This paper presents the main characteristics of Logic Models Creator (LMC). LMC is a new educational environment for young students to build and explore logic models in graphical form. LMC allows visual representation of logic models using IF/THEN/ELSE constructs. In this paper we provide an overview of LMC architecture and discuss briefly an example of use of LMC. As discussed, LMC users in th...

The recently reported microlensing events of the LMC have caused much excitement, and have been interpreted as due to ‘dark objects’ (MACHOs) in the halo of our Galaxy. It is shown here that the stars within the LMC play a dominant role as gravitational lenses and can indeed account for the observed events. For observations within the bar of the LMC, the probability of microlensing being caused...

Based on an analysis of the interstellar highly ionised species C IV, Si IV, N V, and O VI observed in the FUSE and HST/STIS E140M spectra of four hot stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), we find evidence for a hot LMC halo fed by energetic outflows from the LMC disk and even possibly an LMC galactic wind. Signatures for such outflows are the intermediate and high-velocity components (vLS...

We observed seven central stars of planetary nebulae (CSPN) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE), and performed a model-based analysis of these spectra in conjunction with Hubble Space Telescope (HST) spectra in the UV and optical range to determine the stellar and nebular parameters. Most of the objects show wind features, and they have eff...

We first show that a large amount of metal-poor gas is stripped from the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) and fallen into the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) during the tidal interaction between the SMC, the LMC, and the Galaxy over the last 2 Gyrs. We propose that this metal-poor gas can closely be associated with the origin of LMC’s young and intermediate-age stars and star clusters with distinctive...
