The long time behavior of the random map xn → xn+1 = |xn − θn| is studied under various assumptions on the distribution of the θn. One of the interesting features of this random dynamical system is that for a single fixed deterministic θ the map is not a contraction, while the composition is almost surely a contraction if θ is chosen randomly with only mild assumptions on the distribution of th...

artemisia species, growing in almost all the northern hemisphere, is used in folk medicine of some countries as a remedy for hypertension. since some cardiovascular disorders including hypertension are accompanied with altered responsiveness of vascular alpha-adrenergic receptors, the effect of aqueous artemisia annua extract (100 and 200 mg kg-1) on a1-adrenoceptor agonist-induced contraction ...

Acetylstrophanthidin, 1.0 to 10.0 fig/ml, caused contraction of strips of the lateral saphenous vein of the dog in an organ bath at 37°C. The superior mesenteric vein, which exhibited spontaneous activity in the organ bath, responded to acetylstrophanthidin with an almost immediate increase in tension and an increased frequency of contractions; this was followed by a sustained contraction which...

We define, for a locally compact quantum group G in the sense of Kustermans– Vaes, the space of LUC (G) of left uniformly continuous elements in L∞(G). This definition covers both the usual left uniformly continuous functions on a locally compact group and Granirer’s uniformly continuous functionals on the Fourier algebra. We show that LUC (G) is an operator system containing the C∗-algebra C0(...

Consider the operator T = − d dx2 + x2 + q(x) in L2(R), where real functions q, q′ and ∫ x 0 q(s) ds are bounded. In particular, q is periodic or almost periodic. The spectrum of T is purely discrete and consists of the simple eigenvalues {μn}n=0, μn < μn+1. We determine their asymptotics μn = (2n+1)+(2π) −1 ∫ π −π q( √ 2n + 1 sin θ) dθ+O(n−1/3).

In this paper, we study a class of nonlinear Duffing equations with a deviating argument and establish some sufficient conditions for the existence of positive almost periodic solutions of the equation. These conditions are new and complement to previously known results.

We study connections between operator theoretic properties of Toeplitz operators acting on suitable Besikovitch spaces and factorizations of their symbols which are matrix valued almost periodic functions of several real variables. Among other things, we establish the existence of a twisted canonical factorization for locally sectorial symbols, and characterize one-sided invertibility of Toepli...

A class of translation bounded complex measures, which have the form of weighted Dirac combs, on locally compact Abelian groups is investigated. Given such a Dirac comb, we are interested in its diffraction spectrum which emerges as the Fourier transform of the autocorrelation measure. We present a sufficient set of conditions to ensure that the diffraction measure is a pure point measure. Simu...

Almost periodicity of solutions of firstand second-order Cauchy problems on the real line is proved under the assumption that the imaginary (resp. real) spectrum of the underlying operator is countable. Related results have been obtained by Ruess Vu~ and Basit. Our proof uses a new idea. It is based on a factorisation method which also gives a short proof (of the vector-valued version) of Loomi...

The purpose of this paper is to introduce some new classes of rings and modules that are closely related to the classes of almost Dedekind domains and almost Dedekind modules. We introduce the concepts of $\phi$-almost Dedekind rings and $\Phi$-almost Dedekind modules and study some properties of this classes. In this paper we get some equivalent conditions for $\phi$-almost Dedekind rings and ...
