We prove that if u(t) is a log-log blow-up solution, of the type studied by Merle-Raphaël [14], to the L critical focusing NLS equation i∂tu+∆u+|u|u = 0 with initial data u0 ∈ H(R) in the cases d = 1, 2, then u(t) remains bounded in H away from the blow-up point. This is obtained without assuming that the initial data u0 has any regularity beyond H(R). As an application of the d = 1 result, we ...

This paper reports an in-depth case study of a rapid application development (RAD) project. RAD is a recent information systems development method noted for its high levels of user involvement and use of iterative prototyping. The paper develops a model of the core features of RAD gleaned from literature such as that published on the dynamic systems development method (DSDM). We report an ethno...

This study aimed to investigate the factor structure and external correlates of the constructs Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) and Disinhibited Social Engagement Disorder (DSED) from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). The following were addressed: First, do our data support the DSM-5 conceptualization of RAD/DSED as two separate constructs? Second, are RAD and...

We are writing in response to the population and phylogenomics meeting review by Andrews & Luikart (2014) entitled 'Recent novel approaches for population genomics data analysis'. Restriction-site-associated DNA (RAD) sequencing has become a powerful and useful approach in molecular ecology, with several different published methods now available to molecular ecologists, none of which can be con...

Neural reliability and stochastic synchronization are remarkable features of real neurons with important consequences for neural computation. Both phenomena are general properties of any device with a resetting threshold, as neurons are. However, certain characteristics of the single neuron dynamics can notably improve neural reliability and stochastic synchronization. In particular, we show th...

The radius and diameter of a graph are known to satisfy the relation rad G < diam C 5 2 rad G. We show that this is the only restriction on these parameters and construl*t all nonisomorphic graphs of minimal order having a specified radius and diameter. In a graph G the diameter is diam G = ma,\_inax, d(tc, u) and the radius is rad G = min, max, d(tl, u), the min and max being taken over all po...

Four chromogenic media were compared for their ability to detect urinary tract pathogens in 299 urine specimens, of which 175 were found positive, allowing the growth of 279 microorganisms. After 18 to 24 h of incubation, the CPS ID4, CPSE, CPSO (bioMérieux), and UriSelect4 (Bio-Rad) media showed sensitivities of 97.1%, 99.3%, 99.6%, and 99.6%, respectively.

Medium lacking serum but supplemented with milk will support the growth of sparse cells in culture. Milk obtained within 8 h after the birth of a calf (day 1 colostrum) is the most effective in supporting proliferation. In mixed cultures of early-passage bovine embryonic kidney (BEK) or early-passage calf kidney (CK) cells, both epithelial cells and fibroblasts grow in Dulbecco's modified eagle...

in this paper we study the module contractibility ofbanach algebras and characterize them in terms the conceptssplitting and admissibility of short exact sequences. also weinvestigate module contractibility of banach algebras with theconcept of the module diagonal.

Background:Despite some successful dynamic simulation of self-impact double pendulum (SIDP)-as humanoid robots legs or arms- studies, there is limited information available about the control of one leg locomotion.Objective :The main goal of this research is to improve the reliability of the mammalians leg locomotion and building more elaborated models close to the natural movements, by modelin...
