The process of nickel electroforming is becoming increasingly important in the manufacture of MST products, as it has the potential to replicate complex geometries with extremely high fidelity. Electroforming of nickel uses multi-component electrolyte formulations in order to maximise desirable product properties. In addition to nickel sulphamate (the major electrolyte component), formulation a...

In this note, we prove that the Grothendieck group of a smooth complete toric Deligne-Mumford stack is torsion free. This statement holds when the generic point is stacky. We also construct an example of open toric stack with torsion in K-theory. This is a part of the author’s Ph.D thesis. A similar result has been proved by Goldin, Harada, Holm, Kimura and Knutson in [GHHKK] using symplectic m...

The deenition of a class C of functions is predicative if it doesn't use a class containing C; and is decidable if membershipto C can be decided syntactically, from the construction of its elements. Decidable and predicative characterizations of Poly-time functions are known. We present here such a characterization for the following classes of languages: P, p n ; p n , PH and PSPACE. It is obta...

Tacrine (THA) and physostigmine (PHS) have been used in Alzheimer's disease therapy for their anticholinesterasic activity. Here we show that THA is taken up in rat lysosomes in an energy-dependent manner, and that it is also accumulated in acidic compartments of rat thymocytes and neuroblastoma cells. A concentration of THA less than 1 mM dissipated the pH gradient (delta pH) in all the above ...

Kadin [6] showed that if the Polynomial Hierarchy (PH) has infinitely many levels, then for all k, PSAT[k] ⊂ PSAT[k+1]. This paper extends Kadin’s technique and shows that a proper query hierarchy is not an exclusive property of NP complete sets. In fact, for any A ∈ NP − l̂ow3, if PH has infinitely many levels, then PA[k] ⊂ PA[k+1]. Moreover, for the case of parallel queries, PA‖[k+1] is not ev...

1.1. Random walk in random potential. Let S = (S(n))n∈N0 be a nearestneighbor random walk on the lattice Zd, with start at the origin and drift h into the direction of the first axis. We suppose S being defined on a probability space (Ω,F , Ph), and we denote by Eh the associated expectation. Such a random process is characterized by the distributions of its finite-step sub-paths S[n] def = S(0...
