Abstract. We prove in the case of minimal Fano threefolds a conjecture stated by Dubrovin at the ICM 1998 in Berlin. The conjecture predicts that the symmetrized/alternated Euler characteristic pairing on K0 of a Fano variety with an exceptional collection expressed in the basis of the classes of the exceptional objects coincides with the intersection pairing of the vanishing cycles in Dubrovin...

OBJECTIVE To compare the ability of scanning laser polarimetry (SLP) to discriminate between healthy and glaucomatous eyes with manufacturer-assumed fixed and subject-specific variable corneal polarization magnitude (CPM) and corneal polarization axis (CPA) values. METHODS An SLP was modified to enable the measurement of CPM and CPA values so that compensation for corneal birefringence could ...

INTRODUCTION Physical activity is known to significantly impact cardiometabolic health. Accelerometer data, as a measure of physical activity, can be used to objectively identify a disparity in movement (movement discordance) between healthy and unhealthy adults. The purpose of this study was to examine the Movement Discordance between healthy and unhealthy adults in a large US population sampl...

It has been shown that chronic exposure to cypermethrin (CPM), a pyrethroid pesticide, results in follicular atresia via pathologically affecting angiogenesis, disrupting endocrine potential and enhancing oxidative stress. This study was aimed to uncover the CPM-exposed energy dependent follicular cells apoptosis and to estimate protective effect of vitamin E (VitE) as a potent antioxidant. Thi...

In order to characterize the motor activity of a surgically constructed gastric tube, several hours of ambulatory intraluminal pressure recordings were performed in 6 patients following esophagectomy and gastric tube construction. Whole pressure waves were spectrally analyzed by Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). Simultaneous abdominal and thoracic electrogastrograms (EGGs) were recorded for about 2...

Multiport ring cavities represent the natural generalization of two-port Fabry-Perot interferometers [1] to several modes of the radiation field. They find application in advanced interferometry, division multiplexing and optical cross connect. Recently, a three-port fiber ring laser was suggested and demonstrated to improve sensing resolution [2], whereas multiport optical circulators have bee...

In this paper, we study the performance of the continuous phase modulation (CPM)-based orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CPM-OFDM) system. Also, we propose a CPM-based single-carrier frequency domain equalization (CPM-SC-FDE) structure for broadband wireless communication systems. The proposed structure combines the advantages of the low complexity of SC-FDE, in addition to exploiting...
