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 new therocephalian specimen collected from the upper part of the Ermaying Formation of Liulin, Shanxi, China is named as Nothogomphodon sanjiaoensis sp. nov. This new species is differentiated from the type species Nothogomphodon danilovi by the following characters: dentary lower margin uneven; canine base is ovate rather than rounded; distinct diastema present between canine and first postc...

LANT cultures showing variegation for flower color have originated, as deP scribed by SMITH and SAND (1957), following the interspecific hybridization of Nicotiana langsdor-i and N . sanderae. Genetic studies conducted with one of these derived cultures, variegated-1, have shown that the variegated phenotypes and N . sanderae, which is nonvariegated, differ from each other in the alleles presen...

CASE REPORT A 74-year-old man developed a partial limbal stem cell deficiency secondary to a chemical injury in the left eye. He was treated with a sectorial conjunctival epitheliectomy and amniotic membrane transplantation. After 3 weeks there was an intact, smooth and stable corneal epithelium. DISCUSSION This case report emphasizes that conjunctival epitheliectomy and amniotic membrane tra...

retinal detachment were also found in one case by Cleary et al.4 Review of the current literature failed to identify any cases where retinal vasculitis predominated or where choroidal infarction occurred. Optic disc swelling is a recognised feature of posterior scleritis. In this case with such extensive vascular involvement it is possible that direct infarction of the optic nerve head could ha...

This paper is devoted to the multivariable $$H^\infty $$ functional calculus associated with a finite commuting family of sectorial operators on Banach space. First we prove that if $$(A_1,\ldots , A_d)$$ such family, $$A_k$$ R-sectorial R-type $$\omega _k\in (0,\pi )$$ $$k=1,\ldots ,d$$ and admits bounded (\Sigma _{\theta _1}\times \cdots \times \Sigma _d})$$ joint for some $$\theta (\omega _k...

geometrically nonlinear governing equations for a plate with linear viscoelastic material are derived. the material model is of boltzmann superposi¬tion principle type. a third-order displacement field is used to model the shear deformation effects. for the solution of the nonlinear governing equations the dynamic relaxation (dr) iterative method together with the finite difference discretizati...

The hypothesis of bipaternity--incorporation of tissue derived from supernumerary sperms into an embryo--to explain the origin of sectorial mosaicism in pigeons was advanced in 1949. Since then, 182 additional examples have come to my attention. Only one was reported to be a gynandromorph; sex ratios generally have been near 1 : 1. No environmental variable has shown significant relation to the...

PURPOSE To assess the test-retest variability of central and sectorial macular thickness measurements obtained by Cirrus HD-OCT (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, CA) in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). METHODS Macular thickness measurements of nine standard ETDRS subfields were obtained and analyzed. The repeatability of macular thickness measurements by Cirrus HD-OCT was asses...
