Q |f − fQ|dx < ∞, (1) where |Q| is the n-dimensional Lebesgue measure of Q, fQ = |Q|−1 ∫ Q fdx, and the supremum is taken over all closed cubes Q ⊂ D with sides parallel to the coordinate axes. Let D and D′ be subdomains of Rm and Rn, m, n ≥ 1, respectively. We say that a map F : D → D′ is measurable if F−1(E) is measurable for each measurable subset E of D′. We say that a measurable map F : D ...

Purpose To assess possible intraday variability in Bruch's membrane opening-based (BMO) assessment of neuroretinal rim by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) of the optic nerve head (ONH) as well as to evaluate its independence from intraindividual IOP changes. Methods In this noninterventional, prospective cohort study, 51 consecutively enrolled patients with glaucoma or oc...

For every cube $$Q \subset \mathbb {R}^n$$ we let $$X_Q$$ be a quasi-Banach function space over Q such that $$\Vert \chi _Q\Vert _{X_Q} \simeq 1$$ , and for $$X= \{X_Q\}$$ define $$\begin{aligned} \Vert f\Vert _{{{\,\textrm{BMO}\,}}_X}&:=\sup _Q \,\Vert f-{\textstyle \frac{1}{|Q|}\int _Qf} _{X_Q},\\ _{{{\,\textrm{BMO}\,}}_X^*}&:=\sup \,\inf _c\, f-c\Vert _{X_Q}. \end{aligned}$$ We study necessa...

Products containing silver ion (Ag(+)) are widely used, leading to a large amount of Ag(+)-containing waste. The deep-sea manganese-oxidizing bacterium Marinobacter sp. MnI7-9 efficiently oxidizes Mn(2+) to generate biogenic Mn oxide (BMO). The potential of BMO for recovering metal ions by adsorption has been investigated for some ions but not for Ag(+). The main aim of this study was to develo...

We investigate the well-posedness of (i) the heat flow of harmonic maps from R to a compact Riemannian manifold N without boundary for initial data in BMO; and (ii) the hydrodynamic flow (u, d) of nematic liquid crystals on R for initial data in BMO−1 × BMO.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of theophylline on tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) release by human blood monocytes (BMo), and rat BMo and alveolar macrophages (AM). BMo and AM were incubated in the absence or presence of theophylline, and the cell-free supernatants were harvested and tested for TNF-alpha activity by bioassay. Theophylline dose-dependently reduced ...

1,3-Butadiene (BD) is a multisite carcinogen in rodents, with mice being much more susceptible than rats. This species difference in carcinogenicity has been attributed to differences in metabolism. In this study, coordinated metabolism of butadiene monoxide (BMO, 5, 25, and 250 microM), the primary reactive metabolite of BD, was investigated in freshly isolated male B6C3F1 mouse and Sprague-Da...

We hypothesized that bmo-miR-275 has a potential regulatory function regarding the expression of sericin gene 2 (BmSer-2). First, we examined the expression of bmo-miR-275 and its target gene BmSer-2 in seven different tissues from 5th instar day-3 silkworm larvae. The results showed that they were both specifically expressed in the middle silk gland, implying that spatio-temporal conditions ar...

Purpose To evaluate the impact of lens opacity on retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT) and Bruch's membrane opening (BMO) measurements. Methods Fifty-nine randomly selected patients without any other relevant ocular pathology undergoing elective routine cataract surgery in two specialized eye clinics were enrolled. RNFLT, BMO area, and BMO minimum rim width (BMO-MRW) were assessed with...
