We correct a mistake in [DK2] and use this to identify homotopy function complexes in a model category with the nerves of certain categories of zig-zags.

Let T = (V, F,E) be a 2-dimensional triangular tiling of R 2 in quad-edge representation [2], consisting of a set of vertices V , a set of faces F and a set of half-edges E. We say T is locally finite iff for any circle in R 2 it holds that the set consisting of all edges (vertices, faces) in T that intersect the circle (circumference or interior) is finite. Let e ∈ E be some half-edge of this ...

b a ckground: diabetes is an important disease. this disease is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from perturbation in insulin secretion, insulin action or both. honey bee venom contains a wide range of polypeptide agents. the principle components of bee venom are mellitin and phospholipase a2. these components increase insulin secretion from the β-cells of pancreas....

2014 By a formal expansion in gradient of the phase variable we obtain the equations governing the relaxation of zig-zags. The application has been developed for convection close to the threshold. We use an 03B5-expansion of the solution for the realistic case of no slip (rigid) velocity boundary conditions. We obtain : D~ = 03BE20/03C40 (03B4k/kc + F(Pr) 03B4Ra/Rac) where the numerical values ...

Zoster immune globulin (ZIG) can prevent clinical chickenpox in exposed, susceptible, normal chilthen.’ In a collaborative study2 in which 15 susceptible children at high risk received ZIG within three days following exposure, there were no deaths and only one child developed progressive vanicella. At that time, a mortality of 7% and a rate of progressive varicella of 30% were reported in simil...

The potency of various bee antigens including bee venom, several whole bee body extracts and fractions of bee venom was studied using the RAST inhibition method. As compared to whole bee body extract, bee venom was a much more potent inhibitor of both bee venom and whole body RAST, suggesting that venom has a greater capacity to bind specific bee IgE antibodies. Whole body extracts also varied ...

   We have investigated the electronic and optical properties of AlN hexagonal nanosheets under different kinds of strains, using the band structure results obtained through the full potential linearized augmented plane wave method within the density functional theory. The results show that 10% uniaxial strain along the zig-zag direction induces an indirect to direct band-gap transition. Th...
