Background: Fluoxetine (ProzacTM) is one of the most popular antidepressant that can be released to aquatic systems via sewage-treatment effluents. It is suspected to provoke substantial effects in the aquatic environment. Methods: In spawning tanks, specimens were exposed to concentrations of 0 and 0.54 µgl-1 fluoxetine from male introduction until the larvae had hatched. Prior to spawning, n...

The neural simulation tool NEST can simulate small to very large networks of point-neurons or neurons with a few compartments. In this chapter, we show by example how models are programmed and simulated in NEST. This document is based on a preprint version of Gewaltig et al. (2012) and has been updated for NEST 2.6 (r11744). Updated to 2.6.0 Hans E. Plesser, December 2014 Updated to 2.4.0 Hans ...

since 2005 a new powerful invariant of an algebra has emerged using the earlier work of horvath, hethelyi, kulshammer and murray. the authors studied morita invariance of a sequence of ideals of the center of a nite dimensional algebra over a eld of nite characteristic. it was shown that the sequence of ideals is actually a derived invariant, and most recently a slightly modied version o...

In this paper we study irreducible representations of regular limit subalgebras of AF-algebras. The main result is twofold: every closed prime ideal of a limit of direct sums of nest algebras (NSAF) is primitive, and every prime regular limit algebra is primitive. A key step is that the quotient of a NSAF algebra by any closed ideal has an AF C*-envelope, and this algebra is exhibited as a quot...

using the hyers-ulam-rassias stability method, weinvestigate isomorphisms in banach algebras and derivations onbanach algebras associated with the following generalized additivefunctional inequalitybegin{eqnarray}|af(x)+bf(y)+cf(z)|  le  |f(alpha x+ beta y+gamma z)| .end{eqnarray}moreover, we prove the hyers-ulam-rassias stability of homomorphismsin banach algebras and of derivations on banach ...

We study topological von Neumann regularity and principal von Neumann regularity of Banach algebras. Our main objective is comparing these two types of Banach algebras and some other known Banach algebras with one another. In particular, we show that the class of topologically von Neumann regular Banach algebras contains all $C^*$-algebras, group algebras of compact abelian groups and ...

We construct Boolean-valued term models and describe their universal properties. The underlying set of these models consists of the terms of the underlying language, while formulae are interpreted in the Lindenbaum-Tarski algebra of open formulae. Subspaces of the Stone space of the Lindenbaum-Tarski algebra of open formulae are shown to be homeomorphic to spaces of enumerated models models equ...

We study the concept of finitary formal topology, a point-free version of a topological space with a basis of compact open subsets. The notion of finitary formal topology is defined from the perspective of the Basic Picture (introduced by the second author) and thus it is endowed with a binary positivity relation. As an application, we prove a constructive version of Stone’s representation theo...
