Introduction The new “S&T-Function-Application Cross-charting” method offers perspective on how specialized the innovation paths ahead might be. It appears effective at associating novel technology-enabled capabilities to gain functional advantages, and to link those functions to potential applications. Those applications can be associated with target users and most promising markets. This rese...

The ac susceptibility of a superferromagnetic discontinuous multilayer [Co(80)Fe20(1.4 nm)/Al(2)O3(3 nm)](10) is measured as a function of temperature, frequency, and field amplitude and compared to static and dynamic hysteresis loops. Its properties are successfully mapped onto the predicted [T. Nattermann, V. Pokrovsky, and V. M. Vinokur, Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 197005 (2001)]] dynamical phase t...

We consider an asymptotic expansion of Kashaev’s invariant or of the colored Jones function for the torus link T (2, 2m). We shall give q-series identity related to these invariants, and show that the invariant is regarded as a limit of q being N -th root of unity of the Eichler integral of a modular form of weight 3/2 which is related to the ŝu(2)m−2 character.

BACKGROUND The presence of myocardial fibrosis is associated with worse clinical outcomes in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) sequences can detect regional, but not diffuse myocardial fibrosis. Post-contrast T(1) mapping is an emerging CMR technique that may enable the non-invasive evaluation of diffuse myocardial ...

Abstract In this paper, to any subset $$\mathcal {A}\subset \mathbb {Z}^{n}$$ A ? Z n we explicitly associate a unique monomial projection $$Y_{n,d_{\mathcal {A}}}$$ Y ,</mml:mo...

March 2007 | Volume 4 | Issue 3 | e110 Since highly active antiretroviral treatment (HAART) regimens became widely available in North America and Europe in 1996, the incidence of AIDS-defi ning opportunistic infections and malignancies has declined dramatically. This decline has been attributed to restoration of protective immunity by HAART since HAART improves many of the defi cits in T and B ...

Production of the cells that ultimately populate the thymus to generate α/β T cells has been controversial, and their molecular drivers remain undefined. Here, we report that specific deletion of bone-producing osteocalcin (Ocn)-expressing cells in vivo markedly reduces T-competent progenitors and thymus-homing receptor expression among bone marrow hematopoietic cells. Decreased intrathymic T c...

Consider the frequency synchronization in global niobile satellite coiiiniunications systems. Let fc ( n , %: t ) be the t,raiismitt,ed ca.rrier frequency from the SAN t o the i-th user in the n-th spot bea.m, D c ( t ) be the fractional Doppler of t.he feeder link, fc6 be t,he translation frequency at. t.he sat.ellit,e, J f ( t ) be the fractional satel1it.e translation error, atid D,(n , i , ...
