The over-arching goal is to investigate and obtain generalizations of Siebenmann's famous collaring theorem that may be applied to manifolds having non-stable fundamental group systems at infinity. In this paper we show that, for mani-folds with compact boundary, the condition of inw...

Inward turbulent particle transport observed in the rf heated plasma of the H-1 toroidal heliac is reproduced in the CHS heliotron/torsatron by generating a region of positive radial electric field shear (E'(r)>0) using electron cyclotron resonance heating of the plasma edge. Empirical condition of the radial reversal of the turbulent flux derived from two experiments indicates that the shear e...

Let $ H$ be a Hilbert space and $C$ be a closed, convex and nonempty subset of $H$. Let $T:C rightarrow H$ be a non-self and non-expansive mapping. V. Colao and G. Marino with particular choice of the sequence  ${alpha_{n}}$ in Krasonselskii-Mann algorithm, ${x}_{n+1}={alpha}_{n}{x}_{n}+(1-{alpha}_{n})T({x}_{n}),$ proved both weak and strong converging results. In this paper, we generalize thei...

Interstitial cystitis (IC) is an idiopathic condition characterized by bladder hyperalgesia. Studies have shown cytokine and purinergic signaling abnormalities in cultured bladder urothelial cells (BUC) from IC patients. We performed single-cell electrophysiological studies in both normal and IC BUC. A strongly inward rectifying potassium current with conductance of the Kir2.1 channel was ident...

To isolate inward Ca2+ currents in GH3 rat pituitary cells, an inward Na+ current as well as two outward K+ currents, a transient voltage-dependent current (IKV) and a slowly rising Ca2+-activated current (IKCa), must be suppressed. Blockage of these outward currents, usually achieved by replacement of intracellular K+ with Cs+, reveals sustained inward currents. Selective blockage of either K+...

This paper is concerned with the ergodic problem for viscous Hamilton–Jacobi equations superlinear Hamiltonian, inward-pointing drift, and positive potential function which vanishes at infinity. Assuming some radial symmetry of drift vector field outside a large ball, we obtain sharp estimates generalized principal eigenvalue respect to perturbation function. We also specify necessary sufficien...

Ionic currents activated by extracellular adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) were studied in voltage-clamped dorsal root ganglion neurons from rats and bullfrogs. Under quasiphysiological ionic conditions, ATP-activated current reversed near 0 mV and showed strong inward rectification. Strong inward rectification was maintained even in symmetric solutions of divalent-free Cs glutamate. Examined wi...

We explored the impact of consonantal articulation direction of names for foods on expected palatability for these foods (total N = 256). Dishes (Experiments 1-2) and food items (Experiment 3) were labeled with names whose consonants either wandered from the front to the back of the mouth (inward, e.g., PASOKI) or from the back to the front of the mouth (outward; e.g., KASOPI). Because inward (...
