Spectral reflectance patterns of corals are driven largely by the pigments of photosynthetic symbionts within the host cnidarian. The warm inshore bays and cooler offshore reefs of Palau share a variety of coral species with differing endosymbiotic dinoflagellates (genus: Symbiodinium), with the thermally tolerant Symbiodinium trenchii (S. trenchii) (= type D1a or D1-4) predominating under the ...

We prove that Alexandrov spaces X of nonnegative curvature have Markov type 2 in the sense of Ball. As a corollary, any Lipschitz continuous map from a subset of X into a 2-uniformly convex Banach space is extended as a Lipschitz continuous map on the entire space X.

In this paper we study the spectra of certain classes of Room frames. The three spectra are incomplete Room squares, uniform Room frames and Room frames of type 2t. These problems have been studied in numerous papers over the years; in this paper, we complete the three spectra except for one possible exception in each case. Math reviews classification: 05B15

Let m(a, b) and M(a, b, c) be symmetric means. We say that M is type 1 invariant with respect to m if M(m(a, c),m(a, b),m(b, c)) ≡ M(a, b, c). If m is strict and isotone, then we show that there exists a unique M which is type 1 invariant with respect to m. In particular we discuss the invariant logarithmic mean L3, which is type 1 invariant with respect to L(a, b) = b−a log b−log a . We say th...

We use circle-packing methods to generate quadrilateral meshes for polygonal domains, with guaranteed bounds both on the quality and the number of elements. We show that these methods can generate meshes of several types: (1) the elements form the cells of a Voronoı̈ diagram, (2) all elements have two opposite 90 angles, (3) all elements are kites, or (4) all angles are at most 120. In each case...

This paper is a twofold contribution. First, it contributes to the problem of enumerating some classes of simple games and in particular provides the number of weighted games with minimum and the number of weighted games for the dual class as well. Second, we focus on the special case of bipartite complete games with minimum, and we compare and rank these games according to the behavior of some...

AANA Journal  June 2016  Vol. 84, No. 3 155 On Combat Anesthesia To the editor: I was reading the article on combat anesthesia, August 2015, Vol 83, No 4, pages 247-253. There is a comment in the article on page 251, about Role VI care; I believe the authors meant to state Role IV care. Also, in the paragraph on page 250: “In the military, nearly everyone knows his or her blood type; it is on...
