Condensing osteitis of the clavicle is a benign disorder leading to osteosclerosis of the medial end of the clavicle. The differential diagnosis between condensing osteitis of the clavicle and ischaemic necrosis of the medial clavicular epiphysis (Friedrich's disease), osteoid osteoma, and low grade osteomyelitis can be difficult. In the case history reported here, magnetic resonance imaging wa...

This paper presents an effective quasi one-dimensional (1-D) computational simulation methodology and some important results for steady annular/stratified (or film wise) internal condensing flows of pure vapor. Though the approach is strictly valid for smooth, laminar vapor/laminar condensate flows, it is also approximately valid for laminar condensate and turbulent vapor which are laminar in t...

Bone condensing as a technique to prepare an implant site is demonstrated on a patient who was to undergo orthodontic treatment utilizing a palatal implant as an anchor. Based on the anatomic constraints of the palate and the desire to load the implant as axially as possible, adapted-instrumentation for bone condensing is presented. Bone condensing for preparation of the implant site in soft ma...

In this paper level-cut measures of noncompactness are introduced in standard fuzzy normed spaces and condensing operators are studied. Using the extensions of nonlinear compact operators, topological degree theory with respect to condensing operators is given in standard fuzzy normed spaces. As an application of degree theory, a fixed point theorem for condensing operators is presented. © 2009...

Serratia marcescens wild-types ATCC 264 and Nima grew but did not synthesize prodigiosin in a glycerol-alanine medium containing 10 ng of Fe per ml. Wild-type 264 required the addition of 0.2 mug of Fe per ml for maximal growth and prodigiosin synthesis; Nima required 0.5 mug of Fe per ml. Three percent, but not 0.1%, sea salts inhibited prodigiosin synthesis in a complex medium containing up t...

A most interesting feature of certain fractional quantum Hall states is that their quasiparticles obey non-Abelian fractional statistics. So far, candidate non-Abelian wave functions have been constructed from conformal blocks in cleverly chosen conformal field theories. In this work we present a hierarchy scheme by which we can construct daughter states by condensing non-Abelian quasiparticles...

We fill the gap in understanding the relationship between mappings which are condensing w.r.t. the measure of noncompactness defined on the hyperspace and multifunctions condensing in the ordinary sense.

The citrate-condensing enzyme was isolated as a crystalline protein from pig heart by Ochoa et al. (1). These workers reported that pig heart contained considerable quantities of the condensing enzyme. We were surprised when we obtained much higher yields of this enzyme from pig heart tissue with a different extraction procedure (2). This observation led to a purification procedure that yields ...
