Fruit fly bristles have us tearing out our few remaining hairs. The puzzle is, in forming long bristles, how and why do flies assemble long actin bundles by gluing shorter bundles end-to-end? Fruit fly bristles extend posteriorly in a gentle curve over the fly's back like the hair on a well-groomed individual from the 60's. These bristles, which are cellular extensions of 70 ␮ m in the microcha...

We provide a translation (from the French) of Wilhelm Fuhrmann’s influential 1890 paper in which he introduced what is today called the Fuhrmann triangle. We have added footnotes that indicate current terminology and references, ten diagrams to assist the reader, and an appendix. Introductory remarks Current widespread interest concerning the Fuhrmann triangle motivated us to learn what, exactl...

The aim of this research was to establish changes in the overall activity of extracellular enzymes: b-glucosidase, phosphomonoesterase, arylsulphatase, protease and urease and the intracellular enzyme dehydrogenase produced by the addition of Tolypothrix tenuis and Microchaete tenera (Cyanobacteria) exopolysaccharide (EPS) and biomass to a silty clay loam soil. Both biomass and EPS of M. tenera...

The goal of the present work is the proof of approximation results for the Nonlinear Schördinger approximation in higher space dimensions for dispersive systems. The focus is on systems with resonant quadratic terms, which can lead to some explosion before the end of the approximation interval. In higher space dimensions the resonance structure is much more complicated than in case of one space...
