1. The intracellular sodium content and the sodium efflux rate constant have been determined in vitro in thymocytes derived from the Okamato-Aoki strain of spontaneously hypertensive rats. 2. A strong positive correlation between the systolic blood pressure and the sodium content of thymocytes was observed (r = 0.59, n = 39, P less than 0.001). 3. The rate constant for total sodium efflux was n...

The stability problem of the functional equation was conjectured by Ulam 1 during the conference in the University of Wisconsin in 1940. In the next year, it was solved by Hyers 2 in the case of additive mapping, which is called the Hyers-Ulam stability. Thereafter, this problem was improved by Bourgin 3 , Aoki 4 , Rassias 5 , Ger 6 , and Gǎvruţa et al. 7, 8 in which Rassias’ result is called t...

The stability problem of functional equations originated from a question of Ulam 1 concerning the stability of group homomorphisms. Hyers 2 gave a first affirmative partial answer to the question of Ulam for Banach spaces. Hyers’s theorem was generalized by Aoki 3 for additive mappings. In 1978, Rassias 4 generalized Hyers theorem by obtaining a unique linear mapping near an approximate additiv...

In 1940, Ulam [1] proposed the following stability problem: “When is it true that a function which satisfies some functional equation approximatelymust be close to one satisfying the equation exactly?” Next year, Hyers [2] gave an answer to this problem for additive mappings between Banach spaces. Furthermore, Aoki [3] and Rassias [4] obtained independently generalized results of Hyers’ theorem...

The nature of the phase transition in the lattice Gross-Neveu model with Wilson fermions is investigated using a new analytical technique. This involves a new type of weak coupling expansion which focuses on the partition function zeroes of the model. Its application to the single flavour Gross-Neveu model yields a phase diagram whose structure is consistent with that predicted from a saddle po...

Correction: Body density and diving gas volume of the northern bottlenose whale (Hyperoodon ampullatus) Patrick Miller, Tomoko Narazaki, Saana Isojunno, Kagari Aoki, Sophie Smout and Katsufumi Sato There was an error published in J. Exp. Biol. 219, 2458-2468. Eqn 1 was presented incorrectly. A ‘−1’ was missing after the ratio of densities, and the subscript of the first instance of the density ...

We have found a dramatic change in the spectra of late-type M dwarfs at wavelengths shorter than 0.75μm. Comparisons with synthetic spectra illustrate that this change is well explained by the presence of dust. It thus seems that a substantial part of the long-standing discrepancies between late-type M dwarf models and observations arises from dust as recently proposed by Tsuji, Ohnaka & Aoki (...

Following the statistical mechanics methodology, firstly introduced in macroeconomics by Aoki [1, 2, 3], we provide some insights to the well known works of (author?) [7, 6]. Specifically, we reach analytically a closed form solution of their models overcoming the aggregation problem. The key idea is to represent the economy as an evolving complex system, composed by heterogeneous interacting a...
