Background/Aim. The use of peripheral blood as a source of hematopoietic stem cells (SCs) is progressively increasing and has nearly supplanted bone marrow transplantation. Interpatient variability in the degree and kinetics of SC mobilization into peripheral blood is an expected event after conventional chemotherapy–based treatment, followed by sequential administration of recombinant granuloc...

Several problems of trigonometric approximation on a hexagon and a triangle are studied using the discrete Fourier transform and orthogonal polynomials of two variables. A discrete Fourier analysis on the regular hexagon is developed in detail, from which the analysis on the triangle is deduced. The results include cubature formulas and interpolation on these domains. In particular, a trigonome...

The eg-orbital states with complex coefficients of the linear combination of x2 − y2 and 3z2 − r2 are studied for the ferromagnetic state in doped manganites. Especially the focus is put on the competition among uniform complex, staggered complex, and real orbital states. As the hole-doping x increases, the real, the canted complex, and the staggered complex orbital states appears successively....

The recent development of new migration methods of micro-particles in liquids using various external fields is reviewed. The combination of a laser scattering force and a photothermal effect produced photothermal-conversion laser-photophoresis. A dielectric field generated in a planer or a capillary quadrupole electrode realized dielectrophoresis. Using a micrometer-scaled magnetic field gradie...

Die Planung einer Großveranstaltung beruht häufig stark auf Erfahrungswerten und weniger auf wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen. Aus diesem Grund widmet sich diese Arbeit der Fragestellung, wie die Planung von Großveranstaltungen durch einen geeigneten Forschungsansatz ergänzt werden kann, um die Planungsprozesse effizienter zu gestalten. Durch eine Use Case-Analyse werden im Wesentlichen zwei Gr...

Forgetting is in common in daily life, and 50-80% everyday’s forgetting is due to prospective memory failures, which have significant impacts on our life. More seriously, some of these memory lapses can bring fatal consequences such as forgetting a sleeping infant in the back seat of a car. People tend to use various techniques to improve their prospective memory performance. Setting up a remin...
