For a sequence (cn) of complex numbers we consider the quadratic polynomials fcn(z) := z 2 + cn and the sequence (Fn) of iterates Fn := fcn ◦ · · · ◦ fc1 . The Fatou set F(cn) is by definition the set of all z ∈ Ĉ such that (Fn) is normal in some neighbourhood of z, while the complement of F(cn) is called the Julia set J(cn). The aim of this article is to study geometric properties, Lebesgue me...

We give an upper bound to the finite block length capacity of discrete time nonstationary Gaussian channel with feedback. With the aid of minimization of a quadratic form, it is proved that the feedback capacity Cn,FB(P ) and the nonfeedback capacity Cn(P ) satisfies Cn(P ) ≤ Cn,FB(P ) ≤ Cn(P∗), where P∗ is concretely given.

IR-UV double resonance spectroscopy has been used to characterize hindered internal rotor states (n(K) = 0(0), 1(1), and 1(0)) of the CN-Ne complex in its ground electronic state with various degrees of CN stretch (ν(CN)) excitation. Rotationally resolved infrared overtone spectra of the CN-Ne complex exhibit perturbations arising from Coriolis coupling between the closely spaced hindered rotor...

Cryptococcus neoformans (Cn) is a basidiomycetous pathogenic yeast that is a frequent cause of meningoencephalitis in immunocompromised individuals. Cn is a facultative intracellular pathogen in mammals, insects and amoeba. Cn infection occurs after inhalation of spores or desiccated cells from the environment. After inhalation Cn localizes to the lungs where it can be phagocytosed by alveolar ...

Treatment of [Mn(dpop)(H2O)2]Cl2 (dpop = 2,13-dimethyl-3,6,9,12,18-pentaazabicyclo-[12.3.1]octadeca-1(18),2,12,14,16-pentaene) with K4[Mo(CN)7]·2H2O under varied synthetic conditions afforded four different compounds: {[Mn(dpop)]4[(dpop)Mn(H2O)]2[Mo(III)(CN)7]3·27H2O}n (1), {[(dpop)Mn(H2O)][Mo(III)(CN)7][Mn(dpop)]3[Mo(IV)(CN)8]·29H2O}n (2), {[(dpop)Mn(H2O)]2[Mo(IV)(CN)8]2[Mn(dpop)]4[Mo(III)(CN)...

Calcineurin (Cn)-Aalpha-deficient mice develop abnormalities of postnatal kidney development, similar to that of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2-deficient mice. The present study was undertaken to examine expression and regulation of Cn isoforms in the developing kidney during the postnatal period and further characterize the relationship between Cn and COX-2. The protein expressions of all three Cn iso...
