PURPOSE To evaluate the antiangiogenic potential of topical ophthalmic formulations of the novel angiostatic steroids AL-3789 and AL-4940, using a rabbit model of corneal neovascularization. METHODS Neovascularization was induced in the rabbit cornea by surgical implantation of a standard ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (Elvax-40) pellet containing 1 microg lipopolysaccharide. Coded formulat...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS In the last decade, genomic studies using DNA markers have strongly influenced the current phylogeny of angiosperms. Genome size and ploidy level have contributed to this discussion, being considered important characters in biosystematics, ecology and population biology. Despite the recent increase in studies related to genome size evolution and polyploidy incidence, only a ...

Adaptive Educational Hypermedia Systems (AEHS) have so far largely been adapting to individual learners by modeling their unique characteristics, levels, styles or goals. However, as the emphasis on collaboration and sharing on the Web in general and e-learning in particular grows, the community faces the challenges of adapting to groups as well as to individuals. Typically, many AEHS does not ...

is it true that \f(s)\ s^k>0 for cr^O implies that (/(s))-1 is also of the form (1)? In this note, an affirmative answer is supplied.3 Let P be the semigroup of positive integers under multiplication, and let h(P) be the class of all complex functions a on P, a= {an}»~i, for which ||a|| = y^°-i \an\ is finite. We obtain a commutative Banach algebra by defining (aa)n = aan for complex a, (a+b)n ...
