Recently there has been an extensive study on Relative Semi-Dynamical Systems (RSD-Systems). In this paper, we explore some topological properties of RSD-systems. Here, in particular, minimal RSD-systems are characterized and transitive homeomorphisms are investigated. Moreover, α-level relative topological entropy is extended to RSD-systems. Finally, as a computational example, we develop an R...

Transcription factors (TFs) are thought to regulate many aspects of nodule and symbiosis development in legumes, although few TFs have been characterized functionally. Here, we describe regulator of symbiosome differentiation (RSD) of Medicago truncatula, a member of the Cysteine-2/Histidine-2 (C2H2) family of plant TFs that is required for normal symbiosome differentiation during nodule develo...

Random Serial Dictatorship (RSD) is arguably the most well-known and widely used assignment rule. Although it returns an ex post efficient assignment, Bogomolnaia and Moulin (A new solution to the random assignment problem, J. Econ. Theory 100, 295–328) proved that RSD may not be SD-efficient (efficient with respect stochastic dominance). The result raises the following question: under what con...

Surgery on extremities suffering from reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) is generally avoided because it is presumed that RSD will recur or worsen. In order to study this problem we analyzed our patients. The affected limb of 47 patients suffering from RSD was operated on for various reasons. If possible, the operation was postponed until the signs and symptoms of RSD decreased at rest and perf...

In Caenorhabditis elegans, exogenous dsRNA can elicit systemic RNAi, a process that requires the function of many genes. Considering that the activities of many of these genes are also required for normal development, it is surprising that exposure to high concentrations of dsRNA does not elicit adverse consequences to animals. Here, we report inducible phenotypes in attenuated C. elegans strai...

OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence, type of complication, predisposing factors, and treatment for severe complications in a population of reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) patients. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of the data from RSD patients collected over a 12-year period, to investigate the involvement of predisposing factors in an RSD population without severe complications compared wi...
