OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to identify values for net acid base excretion (NABE) which are significant indicators of the acid-base equilibrium in pregnant and young ewes and to show its relationship with other parameters (base, acid, ammonium [NH4], base-acid quotient, sodium [Na], potassium [K], calcium [Ca]) in ovine urine. In contrast to dairy cows, data are rare on these parame...

A criterion is given for a strong type in a finite rank stable theory T to be (almost) internal to a given nonmodular minimal type. The motivation comes from results of Campana [5] which give criteria for a compact complex analytic space to be “algebraic” (namely Moishezon). The canonical base property for a stable theory states that the type of the canonical base of a stationary type over a re...

Although it is commonly believed that a column packing used for chromatofocusing must have an "even" buffering capacity in order to produce a linear pH gradient, it is demonstrated here that linear pH gradients suitable for chromatofocusing can be produced on a column packing having a minimal buffering capacity. In particular, if either a strong-acid cation-exchange column packing or a strong-b...

In this paper, we study a generalization of z-ideals in the ring C(X) of continuous real valued functions on a completely regular Hausdorff space X. The notion of a weak ideal and naturally a weak z-ideal and a prime weak ideal are introduced and it turns out that they behave such as z-ideals in C(X).

At extracellular pH values close to their pKa values the weak bases, ammonia and procaine, elicited a series of events in non-activated Xenopus eggs, some of which resembled those normally occurring at fertilization. These included: (1) a transient increase in membrane conductance; (2) modification of the microvilli; (3) thickening of the cortical cytoplasm and displacement of the cortical gran...

Non-statistical weak measurements yield weak values that are outside the range of eigenvalues and are not rare, suggesting that weak values are a property of every preand-post-selected ensemble. They also extend the applicability and valid regime of weak values.

We show that every modular category is equivalent as an additive ribbon category to the category of finite-dimensional comodules of a Weak Hopf Algebra. This Weak Hopf Algebra is finite-dimensional, split cosemisimple, weakly cofactorizable, coribbon and has trivially intersecting base algebras. In order to arrive at this characterization of modular categories, we develop a generalization of Ta...
