A new technique, based on the growth of tumor cells in liquid media over an agar base, has been developed for the formation and growth of multicellular tumor spheroids. All of the 11 transformed cell lines tested formed multicellular tumor spheroids, while none of the 8 normal cell types tested did so. The advantages of the present technique over older methods include its simplicity, generality...

This book contains a detailed exposition of the nonhomogeneous Koszul duality theory in relative situation over noncentral, noncommutative, nonsemisimple base ring, as announced Section 0.4 arXiv:0708.3398. We prove Poincare-Birkhoff-Witt theorem this context and construct triangulated equivalences derived duality. The between ring differential operators de Rham DG-algebra, with functions is th...

Common fixed point results for some new classes of nonlinear noncommuting maps on a locally convex space are proved. As applications, related invariant approximation results are obtained. Our work includes improvements and extension of several recent developments of the existing literature on common fixed points. We also provide illustrative examples to demonstrate the generality of our results...

This paper addresses automatic detection of intrinsic geometric features (such as ridges and corners) in surface meshes. We propose characterizations and develop techniques for detecting such features. Our techniques have significant advantages in reliability and generality over traditional methods while being nearly optimal in performance. We integrate these techniques to match features in dis...
