In this paper, I give several characterizations of rational biset functors over p-groups, which are independent of the knowledge of genetic bases for p-groups. I also introduce a construction of new biset functors from known ones, which is similar to the Yoneda construction for representable functors, and to the Dress construction for Mackey functors, and I show that this construction preserves...

Functors which are determined, up to natural isomorphism, by their values on objects, are called DVO (Defined by Values on Objects). We focus on the collection of polynomial functors on a category of sets (classes), and we give a characterization theorem of the DVO functors over such collection of functors. Moreover, we show that the (κ-bounded) powerset functor is not DVO.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Escitalopram, the S(+)-enantiomer of citalopram is the most selective 5-HT reuptake inhibitor approved. Although all 5-HT selective reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) increase extracellular levels of 5-HT ([5-HT](ext)). some also enhance, to a lesser extent, extracellular levels of noradrenaline ([NA](ext)). However, the mechanisms by which SSRIs activate noradrenergic transmiss...

we find a criterion for a morphism of coalgebras over a barr-exact category to be effective descent and determine (effective) descent morphisms for coalgebras over toposes in some cases. also, we study some exactness properties of endofunctors of arbitrary categories in connection with natural transformations between them as well as those of functors that these transformations induce between co...

BACKGROUND Blue light is a high-energy or short-wavelength visible light, which induces retinal diseases such as age-related macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa. Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) and lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea) contain high amounts of polyphenols (anthocyanins, resveratrol, and proanthocyanidins) and thus confer health benefits. This study aimed to determine t...

We present a higher-order module discipline with separate compilation and concurrent dynamic linking. Based on first-order modules one can program security policies for systems that link modules from untrusted locations (e.g., Java). We introduce a pickling operation that writes persistent clones of volatile, possibly higher-order data structures on the file system. Our pickling operation respe...
