Nanotechnology, although still in the early stages of its development, is beginning to equip scientists, engineers and biologists to work at the cellular and molecular levels for significant benefits in healthcare and animal medicine. It is reasonable to presume over the next couple of decades that nanobiotechnology industries and unique developments will be revolutionising animal health and me...

Over a monoidal model category, under some mild assumptions, we equip the categories of colored PROPs and their algebras with projective model category structures. A BoardmanVogt style homotopy invariance result about algebras over cofibrant colored PROPs is proved. As an example, we define homotopy topological conformal field theories and observe that such structures are homotopy invariant.

We equip the whole space of fields of the triplectic formalism of Lagrangian quantization with an even supersymplectic structure and clarify its geometric meaning. We also discuss its relation to a closed two-form arising naturally in the superfield approach to the triplectic formalism.

HIV clinical mentoring has been utilized for capacity building in Africa, but few formal program evaluations have explored mentee perspectives on these programs. EQUIP is a PEPFAR-USAID funded program in Malawi that has been providing HIV mentoring on clinical and health systems since 2010. We sought to understand the successes and challenges of EQUIP's mentorship program. From June-September 2...

It is reported the quality control of Y11(200)MS aluminized bers with 600 ppm of UV Absorber used to equip the Module 0 barrel hadronic calorimeter for ATLAS. The optical properties and the reeectivity of the aluminization of the bers is presented. Also the ber to ber uctuations of the several parameters were studied.

The clinical signs of any disease, whether endemic or epidemic, are the result of an intricate relationship between the infectious agent (virus, bacteria, or other), the host’s immune response, the management and environmental factors imposed on the host. In this afternoon’s session, we will expound on these factors, and equip producers with the vision and knowledge to better control clinical d...

We prove a relative Poincaré embedding theorem for maps of pairs into a Poincaré pair. This result has applications: it is the engine of the compression theorem of the author’s paper in Algebr. Geom. Topol. 2, (2002) 311–336, it yields a Poincaré space version of Hudson’s embedding theorem, and it can be used to equip 2-connected Poincaré spaces with handle decompositions.

Despite the ageing population and the subsequent importance of considering older people in design, many designers struggle to do so. In particular, they often lack appropriate materials and tools to help them implement inclusive design in practice. This paper describes work at the Cambridge Engineering Design Centre to address this shortfall, developing resources to motivate and equip designers...

We analyze S equivariant cohomology from the supergeometrical point of view. For this purpose we equip the external algebra of given manifold with equivariant even super(pre)symplectic structure, and show, that its Poincare-Cartan invariant defines equivariant Euler classes of surfaces. This allows to derive localization formulae by use of superanalog of Stockes theorem.

This paper presents an approach to correct chromatic distortion within an image (vignetting) and to compensate for color response differences among similar cameras which equip a team of robots, based on Evolutionary Algorithms. Our black-box approach does not make assumptions concerning the physical/geometrical roots of the distortion, and the efficient implementation is suitable for real time ...
