Despite its simple two-carbon structure, the olefin ethylene is a potent modulator of plant growth and development (Ecker, 1995). The plant hormone ethylene is involved in many aspects of the plant life cycle, including seed germination, root hair development, root nodulation, flower senescence, abscission, and fruit ripening (reviewed in Johnson and Ecker, 1998). The production of ethylene is ...

In this paper, we obtain an Ecker-Huisken type result for entire space-like graphs with parallel mean curvature.

An analysis of heat transfer in the flow of a viscous, in-compressible fluid along an infinite porous plate is presented when the plate is subjected to a transverse sinusoidal suction. The flow field becomes three-dimensional due to this type of suction velocity. Expressions for the flow and temperature fields are obtained by series expansion method. It is found during the course of discussion ...

In diesem Kommentar zum Debattenaufschlag von Yannick Ecker, Tatiana López und Nicolas Schlitz möchte ich Skepsis an der den Autor:innen diagnostizierten „zunehmenden Verbindung betrieblichen städtischen Konflikten“ äußern daran anschließend Vorschlag machen, in geforderten „Auseinandersetzung mit Arbeit kritischen Stadtforschung“ (auch) eine globale Perspektive einzunehmen.

B ecker muscular dystrophy (BMD) is an X linked mutation of the dystrophin gene characterised by skeletal muscle dystrophy and progressive heart failure which frequently leads to a fatal outcome. Cardiac involvement is not accurately predicted by gene mutation and may occur in patients without muscle weakness. Consequently, systematic cardiac examinations are required. Tissue Doppler echocardio...
