Mammary gland involution is a physiological process that follows lactation and results in the rapid disappearance of the entire lobulo-alveolar compartment. Coincident with the onset of involution, milk protein gene expression ceases and alveolar cells undergo programmed cell death. In mammary epithelial tissue culture cells in vitro, both p53-dependent and p53-independent apoptosis pathways ha...

(1.1) |f(a)− f(b)| ≤ L |a− b| for every pair of points a, b ∈ A. We also say that a function is Lipschitz if it is L-Lipschitz for some L. The Lipschitz condition as given in (1.1) is a purely metric condition; it makes sense for functions from one metric space to another. In these lectures, we concentrate on the theory of Lipschitz functions in Euclidean spaces. In Section 2, we study extensio...

Two Banach algebras are naturally associated with a locally compact group G: the group algebra, L,(G), and the measure algebra, M(G). For these two Banach algebras we determine all isometric involutions. Each of these Banach algebras has a natural involution. We will show that an isometric involution, (*), is the natural involution on £'(<?) if and only if the closure in the strict topology of ...

A formula is given for the discriminant of the tensor product of the canonical involution on a quaternion algebra and an orthogonal involution on a central simple algebra of degree divisible by 4. As an application, an alternative proof of Shapiro’s “Pfister Factor Conjecture” is given for tensor products of at most five quaternion algebras. Throughout this paper, the characteristic of the base...

We show that if a distribution is locally spanned by Lipschitz vector fields and is involutive a.e., then it is uniquely integrable giving rise to a Lipschitz foliation with leaves of class C1,Lip. As a consequence, we show that every codimension-one Anosov flow on a compact manifold of dimension > 3 such that the sum of its strong distributions is Lipschitz, admits a global cross section. The ...

Let $(A,\sigma)$ be a central simple algebra with an orthogonal involution. It is well-known that $O(A,\sigma)$ contains elements of reduced norm $-1$ if and only the Brauer class $A$ trivial. We generalize this statement to Azumaya algebras involution over semilocal rings, show "if" part fails one allows base ring arbitrary.

BACKGROUND Lobular involution, or age-related atrophy of breast lobules, is inversely associated with breast cancer risk, and mammographic breast density (MBD) is positively associated with breast cancer risk. METHODS To evaluate whether lobular involution and MBD are independently associated with breast cancer risk in women with benign breast disease, we performed a nested cohort study among...

A direct application of Zorn’s lemma gives that every Lipschitz map f : X ⊂ Qp → Qp has an extension to a Lipschitz map f̃ : Qp → Qp . This is analogous to, but easier than, Kirszbraun’s theorem about the existence of Lipschitz extensions of Lipschitz maps S ⊂ Rn → R`. Recently, Fischer and Aschenbrenner obtained a definable version of Kirszbraun’s theorem. In this paper, we prove in the p-adic ...

In this note we prove that reconstruction from magnitudes of frame coefficients (the so called ”phase retrieval problem”) can be performed using Lipschitz continuous maps. Specifically we show that when the nonlinear analysis map α : H → R is injective, with (α(x))k = |〈x, fk〉| , where {f1, . . . , fm} is a frame for the Hilbert space H, then there exists a left inverse map ω : R → H that is Li...
