Initiation of apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is an important issue in cancer treatment as cancer cells frequently have acquired the ability to block apoptosis and thus are more resistant to chemotherapeutic drugs.

Using the relation established by Johnson–Zumbrun between Hill’s method of aproximating spectra of periodic-coefficient ordinary differential operators and a generalized periodic Evans function given by the 2-modified characteristic Fredholm determinant of an associated Birman–Schwinger system, together with a Volterra integral computation introduced by Gesztesy–Makarov, we give an explicit con...

Single crystals of silver(I) polyphosphate(V), AgPO(3), were prepared via a phospho-ric acid melt method using a solution of Ag(3)PO(4) in H(3)PO(4). In comparison with the previous study based on single-crystal Weissenberg photographs [Jost (1961 ▶). Acta Cryst. 14, 779-784], the results were mainly confirmed, but with much higher precision and with all displacement parameters refined anisotro...

If f (x, k) is the Jost solution and f (x) = f (0, k), then the I-function is I(k) := f ′ (0,k) f (k). It is proved that I(k) is in one-to-one correspondence with the scattering triple S := {S(k), k j , s j , 1 ≤ j ≤ J} and with the spectral function ρ(λ) of the Sturm-Liouville operator l = − d 2 dx 2 + q(x) on (0, ∞) with the Dirichlet condition at x = 0 and q(x) ∈ L 1,1 := {q : q = q, ∞ 0 (1 ...

In this study, the relations among political ideology, exploratory behavior, and the formation of attitudes toward novel stimuli were explored. Participants played a computer game that required learning whether these stimuli produced positive or negative outcomes. Learning was dependent on participants’ decisions to sample novel stimuli and discover the associated valence. Political ideology co...

Potentials of the heat conduction operator constructed by means of 2 binary Bäcklund transformations are studied in detail. Corresponding Darboux transformations of the Jost solutions are introduced. We show that these solutions obey modified integral equations and present their analyticity properties.

For a n-dimensional spin manifold M with a fixed spin structure and a spinor bundle ΣM , we prove an -regularity theorem for weak solutions to the nonlinear Dirac equation of cubic nonlinearity. This, in particular, answers a regularity question raised by Chen-Jost-Wang [5] when n = 2.
