has density one in Z with respect to some sequence of intervals Ik = [ak, bk] with bk−ak → ∞. (This means that d{Ik}(S) = lim k→∞ |S∩Ik| bk−ak+1 = 1.) A vector f ∈ H is called weakly wandering if there is an infinite set S ⊆ Z such that for any n,m ∈ S, n 6= m, one has 〈Uf, Uf〉 = 0. The following theorem due to U. Krengel gives a characterization of weak mixing in terms of weakly wandering vect...

BACKGROUND Remaining edema-free is a challenge for many automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) patients, especially those with fast ("high") transport characteristics. Although increased use of peritoneal dialysis (PD) solutions with high glucose concentrations may improve volume control, frequent use of such solutions is undesirable. METHODS We used the 3-pore kinetic model to evaluate 4 altern...

Note that F ′ cannot be a MAC in the strict sense as defined in the lecture, as it does not take inputs of arbitrary length. (My bad!) But still, the notion of UF-CMA makes sense for finite domains – and it is easy to see that F ′ is not UF-CMA secure even in this case: Indeed, we can consider the adversary that makes no queries to Eval, and then makes on query to Vrfy with input (02n, 0n). Cle...

class of fertility variants, called “ultra-fertile” (UF) , has been identified A in the actinomycete Streptomyces coelicolor A3 ( 2 ) (HOPWOOD, HAROLD, VIVIAN and FERGUSON 1968); these variants differ strikingly in their sexual capabilities from the strains that had previously been encountered in S. coielicolor genetics (HOPWOOD 1967). It seems likely that UF variants will contribute to an unde...

The previous study on low mole ratio urea-formaldehyde (UF) and ureamelamine–formaldehyde (UMF) resins synthesized in the typical way as particleboard binders was repeated with the inclusion of a strong acidic reaction step at a mole ratio of 2.7 in the beginning of the resin synthesis procedure. The resulting UF and UMF resins showed longer storageand pot-lives, longer gel times, and the parti...

Individuals with psychopathy possess emotional and behavioral abnormalities. Two neural regions, involved in behavioral control and emotion regulation, are often implicated: amygdala and ventromedial prefrontal cortex (VMPFC). Recently, in studies using adult criminal populations, reductions in microstructural integrity of the white matter connections (i.e., uncinate fasciculus (UF)) between th...

Abstract UF-SiAPP was prepared by modifying ammonium polyphosphate with the urea formaldehyde resin (UF), tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS), and vinyltriethoxysilane (A-151). Moreover, a new intumescent flame retardant (IFR) used for low density polyethylene (LDPE) obtained mixing tris(2-hydroxyethyl) isocynurate (THEIC). The structure, morphology, mechanical properties of retardants LDPE composit...
