Boucané is a traditional meat product from Réunion that is obtained by salting, drying and hot smoking pork belly. One-step unit operations give rise to a stable product with remarkable colour and flavour qualities. Smoking the product directly over embers, however, leads to benzo(a)pyrene contamination. Mass transfers (salt gain, water loss) stabilize the end product, which has a 28.5% water c...

Heteroclinic cycles may occur as structurally stable asymptotically stable attractors if there are invariant subspaces or symmetries of a dynamical system. Even for cycles between equilibria, it may be difficult to obtain results on the generic behaviour of trajectories converging to the cycle. For more complicated cycles between chaotic sets, the nontrivial dynamics of the ‘nodes’ can interact...

We contribute to the growing literature which aims to link product market regulation and competition to labor market outcomes, in an attempt to explain the divergent US and continental European labor market performance over the past two decades. The main contributions of this paper are threefold. First, we show that the choice of bargaining regime is crucial for the effect of product market com...

This paper introduces the following new constructions on stable domains and event structures: the tensor product, the linear function space, and the exponential. It results in a monoidal closed category of dI-domains as well as one of stable event structures which can be used to interpret intuitionistic linear logic. Finally, the usefulness of the category of stable event structures for modelin...

This paper demonstrates the existence of a theory of symmetric spectra for the motivic stable category. The main results together provide a categorical model for the motivic stable category which has an internal symmetric monoidal smash product. The details of the basic construction of the Morel-Voevodsky proper closed simplicial model structure underlying the motivic stable category are requir...

We introduce a sufficient condition which guarantees the existence of stable models for a normal residuated logic program interpreted on the truth-space [0, 1]n. Specifically, the continuity of the connectives involved in the program ensures the existence of stable models. Then, we study conditions which guarantee the uniqueness of stable models in the particular case of the product t-norm, its...

We investigate analytical properties of free stable distributions and discover many connections with their classical counterparts. Our main result is an explicit formula for the Mellin transform, which leads to explicit series representations for the characteristic function and for the density of a free stable distribution. All of these formulas bear close resemblance to the corresponding expre...

Let 1 ∈ A ⊂ B be an inclusion of C*-algebras of C*-index-finite type with depth 2. We try to compute topological stable rank of B (= tsr(B)) when A has topological stable rank one. We show that tsr(B) ≤ 2 when A is a tsr boundedly divisible algebra, in particular, A is a C*-minimal tensor product UHF ⊗ D with tsr(D) = 1. When G is a finite group and α is an action of G on UHF, we know that a cr...

We prove that the the kernel of the reciprocity map for a product of curves over a p-adic field with split semi-stable reduction is divisible. We also consider the K1 of a product of curves over a number field.

The (almost) 1-cover lifting property of omega-limit sets is established for nonmonotone skew-product semiflows, which are comparable to uniformly stable eventually strongly monotone skew-product semiflows. These results are then applied to study the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the nonmonotone comparable systems of ODEs, reaction-diffusion systems, differential systems with time delays ...
