In this paper, we rigorously prove the existence and stability of K-peaked asymmetric patterns for the Gierer-Meinhardt system in a two dimensional domain which are far from spatial homogeneity. We show that given any positive integers k1, k2 ≥ 1 with k1 + k2 = K, there are asymmetric patterns with k1 large peaks and k2 small peaks. Most of these asymmetric patterns are shown to be unstable. Ho...

For s ≥ 3 a graph is K1,s-free if it does not contain an induced subgraph isomorphic to K1,s. Cycles in K1,3-free graphs, called clawfree graphs, have beenwell studied. In this paper we extend results on disjoint cycles in claw-free graphs satisfying certain minimum degree conditions to K1,s-free graphs, normally called generalized claw-free graphs. In particular, we prove that if G is K1,s-fre...

The implications of the f1(1285) − f1(1420) mixing for the K1(3P1) − K1(1P1) mixing angle is investigated. Based on the f1(1285)− f1(1420) mixing angle ∼ 50 suggested from the analysis for a substantial body of data concerning the f1(1420) and f1(1285), the masses of the K1( 3P1) and K1( 1P1) are determined to be ∼ 1307.35± 0.63 MeV and 1370.03± 9.69 MeV, respectively, which therefore suggests ...

Tetranectin is a plasminogen kringle 4 domain-binding protein present in plasma and various tissue locations. Decreased plasma tetranectin or increased tetranectin in stroma of cancers correlates with cancer progression and adverse prognosis. A possible mechanism through which tetranectin could influence cancer progression is by altering activities of plasminogen or the plasminogen fragment, an...

Serotype K1 Klebsiella pneumoniae is a major cause of liver abscesses and endophthalmitis. This study was designed to identify the role of neutrophils in the development of distant metastatic complications that were caused by serotype K1 K. pneumoniae. An in vitro cellular model was used to assess serum resistance and neutrophil-mediated killing. BALB/c mice were injected with neutrophils conta...

Leaf senescence varies greatly among genotypes of cotton (Gossypium hirsutium L), possibly due to the different expression of senescence-related genes. To determine genes involved in leaf senescence, we performed genome-wide transcriptional profiling of the main-stem leaves of an early- (K1) and a late-senescence (K2) cotton line at 110 day after planting (DAP) using the Solexa technology. The ...
