The Edwin Bierman Award Lecture is presented in honor of the memory of Edwin L. Bierman, MD, an exemplary scientist, mentor, and leader in the field of diabetes, obesity, hyperlipidemia, and atherosclerosis. The award and lecture recognizes a leading scientist in the field of macrovascular complications and contributing risk factors in diabetes. Clay F. Semenkovich, MD, the Irene E. and Michael...

A qualitative discussion of recent theoretical results in the physics of 1D quantum wires is provided here. The consideration is mainly focused on observable quantities, such as conductance, persistent current, and X-Ray response functions, which are discussed in simple terms. Lecture given at the Landau Institute Seminar, Col de Port, March 1994. Typeset using REVTEX 1

By considering a family of orthogonal polynomials generalizing the Tchebycheff polynomials of the second kind we refine the corresponding results of De Sainte-Catherine and Viennot on Tchebycheff polynomials of the second kind (Lecture Notes in Mathematics, vol. 1171, 1985, Springer-Verlag, 120). © 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Introduction: introduction: malgré les importants progrès qui ont été faits dans le domaine de la sécurité en anesthésie, la morbidité (grave ou non, liée complètement ou partiellement à l’anesthésie) reste cependant fréquente, et aucun praticien n’est aujourd’hui à l’abri d’un accident. Dans le contexte actuel où la priorité est donnée à la formation, à l’amélioration de la qualité et de la sé...

Graph based models of hierarchical systems are usually seen as ‘graph equipped with some refinements’, understood as the (homo)morphisms or (bi)simulations. In such a model it is not possible to consider phenomena happened on different levels of the system. We propose a new formalism of directed multi-graph allowing to see a hierarchical system similar as a formula of second order logic, i.e. t...

A general theory for perturbations of an integrable planar map with a separatrix to a hyperbolic xed point has been developed in a previous lecture The splitting of the perturbed invariant curves was measured in rst order with respect to the parameter of perturbation by means of a periodic Melnikov function M de ned on the unperturbed separatrix In the case of planar twist maps M has zero mean ...

We use the theory of lecture hall partitions to de ne a generalization of the Eulerian polynomials, for each positive integer k. We show that these 1=k-Eulerian polynomials have a simple combinatorial interpretation in terms of a single statistic on generalized inversion sequences. The theory provides a geometric realization of the polynomials as the h -polynomials of k-lecture hall polytopes. ...
