Following Boardman-Vogt, McDuff, Segal, and others, we construct a monoidal topological groupoid or space of finite subsets the plane, interpret Burau representation knot theory as quantum field defined on it. Its determinant writhe is an invertible braided TQFT which group completes to define Hopkins-Mahowald model for integral homology <inline-formula content-type="math/mathm...

We give examples of pseudoconvex domains finite type in C 2 \m...

Whether or not mangroves function as buffers against tsunamis is the subject of in-depth research, the importance of which has been neglected or underestimated before the recent killer tsunami struck. Our preliminary post-tsunami surveys of Sri Lankan mangrove sites with different degrees of degradation indicate that human activity exacerbated the damage inflicted on the coastal zone by the tsu...

The electric vehicle (Ve) is struck by their low autonomy. To remedy this problem, we opted for the choice of a converter structure in electromagnetic switch, since it has no power dissipation in switching and conduction. The development of a control law of motorization continues saving energy and its implementation under the environment of MATLAB / SIMULINK, led to the scientific results of hi...

above subject before the British Gynecological Society. He had been struck by the remarkable improvement in certain cases of indubitable malignant disease which followed a simple incision without any farther operative procedures, and thought if future explorations were scanned in the light of expected amelioration, it would be found that the peritoneum thus stimulated behaves to a certain exten...
