Let dent A denote the set of denting points of a subset A of some Banach space. We prove dent cl co( K ® L) = dent K ® dent L for closed, bounded, absolutely convex subsets K and L of Banach spaces X and Y. Here the closure refers to the completion of X ® Y w.r.t. some reasonable crossnorm.

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are defined in mice by three activities: they must rescue lethally irradiated mice (radioprotection), they must self-renew, and they must restore all blood cell lineages permanently. We initially demonstrated that HSCs were contained in a rare ('~0.05%) subset of bone marrow cells with the following surface marker profile: Thy-l.1 l~ LinSca-l+. These cells were c...

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) elicits a unique taste in humans called umami. Recent molecular studies suggest that glutamate receptors similar to those in brain are present in taste cells, but their precise role in taste transduction remains to be elucidated. We used giga-seal whole cell recording to examine the effects of MSG and glutamate receptor agonists on membrane properties of taste cells f...

A chiral supramolecular assembly encapsulates the two cationic ruthenium sandwich complexes [CpRu(eta(6)-C(6)H(6))](+) and [CpRu(p-cymene)](+). The host-guest complexes K(11)[CpRu(eta(6)-C(6)H(6)) subset Ga(4)L(6)] (2) and K(11)[CpRu(p-cymene) subset Ga(4)L(6)] (3) were characterized by one- and two-dimensional NMR techniques as well as by electrospray mass spectrometry. Encapsulation of the pr...

In group testing, the task is to determine the distinguished members of a set of objects L by asking subset queries of the form ``does the subset Q of L contain a distinguished object?'' The primary biological application of group testing is for screening libraries of clones with hybridization probes. This is a crucial step in constructing physical maps and for finding genes. Group testing has ...

where S is an n × n positive definite Hermitian matrix, dS is equivalent to the dH in (1) restricted in the subset of positive definite Hermitian matrices, and E+ is a subset of R+. The integral H(E) is in some sense the limiting case of L(E+), since H(E) can be evaluated by Hermitian polynomials, while L(E+) by Laguerre polynomials in the same way [8]. It is a classical result that Hermitian p...

We define a class of L-convex-concave subsets of RP n , where L is a projective sub-space of dimension l in RP n. These are sets whose sections by any (l+1)-dimensional space L ′ containing L are convex and concavely depend on L ′. We introduce an L-duality for these sets, and prove that the L-dual to an L-convex-concave set is an L *-convex-concave subset of (RP n) *. We discuss a version of A...

In this article, by Partitioning of designing space, optimization speed is tried to be increased by GA. To this end, designing space search is done in two steps which are global search and local search. To achieve this goal, according to meshing in FEM, firstly, the list of sections is divided to specific subsets. Then, intermediate member of each subset, as representative of subset, is defined...

We previously identified the carbohydrate determinant sialyl 6-sulfo Lewis X (Le(x)) as the major L-selectin ligand on high endothelial venules of peripheral lymph nodes. In this study, we examined the distribution of the sialyl 6-sulfo Le(x) determinant among peripheral lymphocytes. The determinant was expressed on a subset of helper memory T and NK cells. The helper memory T cells expressing ...
