For an effective divisor on a smooth algebraic variety or a complex manifold, we show that the associated multiplier ideals coincide with the filtration induced by the filtration V constructed by B. Malgrange and M. Kashiwara. This implies another proof of a theorem of L. Ein, R. Lazarsfeld, K.E. Smith and D. Varolin that any jumping coefficient in the interval (0,1] is a root of the Bernstein-...

Microembolization resulting from platelet aggregation, air embolization and infusion of particulate material with stored and coronary suction blood has been implicated in the pathogenesis of certain complications following heart surgery'-s. In previous studies we have noted that particulate microembolization is reduced and platelet function is preserved following cardiopulmonary bypass with a m...

AIMS To report remodelling of enlarged dysmorphic filtration blebs with conjunctival compression sutures and autologous blood injection. METHODS A retrospective analysis of consecutively recruited patients with enlarged and dysmorphic filtration blebs who were managed with conjunctival compression sutures and subconjunctival autologous blood injections. Under topical anaesthesia, conjunctival...

We examine the “homotopy coniveau tower” for a general cohomology theory on smooth k-schemes, satisfying some natural axioms, and give a new proof that the layers of this tower for K-theory agree with motivic cohomology. We show how these constructions lead to a tower of functors on the Morel-Voevodsky stable homotopy category, and identify this stable homotopy coniveau tower with Voevodsky’s s...
