We study the problem of the existence of unconditional basic sequences in Banach spaces of high density. We show, in particular, the relative consistency with GCH of the statement that every Banach space of density אω contains an unconditional basic sequence.

One important aspect of studies carried out at the Center for Molecular Biology "Severo Ochoa" is focused on basic aspects of Alzheimer's disease, mainly the search for suitable therapeutic targets for this disorder. Several groups at the Center are involved in these studies, and, in this spotlight, the work they are carrying out will be described.

The purpose of this note is to show that the independence results for sharply bounded arithmetic of Takeuti 4] and Tada and Tatsuta 3] can be obtained and, in case of the latter, improved by the model-theoretic method developed by the author in 2]. By sharply bounded arithmetic we understand fragments of the theory S 1 2 of Bounded Arithmetic of Buss 1] given by the quantiier-free BASIC axioms ...

Time stamp superimposed on the video frames can be used as indices for video indexing and retrieval systems. Some applications use it for speed detection of objects. In this paper, we propose a time stamp detection approach based on edge detection method. Furthermore, we apply temporal properties of video frames so that time stamp can be located quickly. We also propose our digit recognition mo...

This paper presents a quantitative analytical method for measuring functional fit between a specific ecosystem and a defined set of institutions. Functional misfits, the focus of this paper, can arise as a result of gaps in governance—a lack of institutional provision for a socioecological system component or link. The method measures such misfit using a similarity metric (simple matching). Thi...
