There is increasing demand for information on predator-prey interactions in the ocean as a result of legislative commitments aimed at achieving sustainable exploitation. However, comprehensive data sets are lacking for ...

We consider a vector variational inequality in a finite-dimensional space. A new gap function is proposed, and an equivalent optimization problem for the vector variational inequality is also provided. Under some suitable ...

A microfluidic method to specifically capture and detect infectious bacteria based on immunorecognition and proliferative power is presented. It involves a microscale fluidized bed in which magnetic and drag forces are ...

Stephen Hawking's prediction that black holes should radiate like black bodies has several important consequences, including the possibility of the detection of small (similar to 10(15) g) black holes created in the very ...

The combined use of di-2-pyridyl ketone, (py)(2)CO, and acetates (MeCO2-) in nickel(II) chemistry in H2O-MeCN under basic conditions (Et3N) afforded the coordination cluster [ Ni-11(OH)(6)(O2CMe)(12){(py)(2)C(OH)(O)}(4)(H2O)(2)] ...

Caspases, a family of cysteine proteases most often investigated for their roles in apoptosis, have also been demonstrated to have functions that are vital for the efficient execution of cell differentiation. One such role ...

The normalizer N(W)(W(J)) of a standard parabolic subgroup W(J) of a finite Coxeter group W splits over the parabolic subgroup with complement N(J) consisting of certain minimal length coset representatives of W(J) in W. ...
