We study the complexity of the dynamic partial sum problem in the cell-probe model. We give the model access to nondeterministic queries and prove that the problem remains hard. We give the model access to the right answer +/-1 as an oracle and prove that the problem remains hard. This suggests which kind of information is hard to maintain. From these results, we derive a number of lower bounds fo

Interfacial electron transfer is one of the key processes in the novel type of photovoltaic cells-dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC). By means of transient absorption spectroscopy we have studied the dynamics of the initial photo-induced processes in dye-sensitized nano-porous thin films of wide-band gap semiconductor microcrystallines, which represent the main photoactive part of DSSC. In the most

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ett strategiskt ramverk för hållbar industriell utveckling i Afrika söder om Sahara: En system evolutionär ansats.The principal objectives of this research were: · to develop a conceptual framework on sustainability and sustainable development and · to propose a strategy framework for sustainable industrial development in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The research was done based on systems evolutionary approach having the following methodological principles as a guide. · The dynamic complexity of environmental an

We present a quenching result for semilinear parabolic equations with dynamic boundary conditions in bounded domains with a smooth boundary.

Objective Incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is higher in men than in women. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the gender differential can be modified by pharmacological intervention in a population-based setting. Design and method In a prospective population-based cohort - the Malmo Diet and Cancer study - a total of 3608 hypertensives (1559 men, 2049 women), 45-73 years old

Due to the strongly kinetic nature of the chemical events leading to the formation of mesoscopically ordered inorganic-surfactant composite materials, detailed studies on the interdependency between the degree of inorganic condensation and the co-operative self-assembly is difficult to perform. We have therefore undertaken a study where organic polyelectrolytes are used as models for the inorganic

OBJECTIVE: Intraoperative growth hormone (GH ) measurement has earlier been tried to improve surgery for acromegaly. We calculated GH half-life after adenomectomy and evaluated the possible role of this variable in predicting the final outcome of pituitary surgery in 28 consecutive patients with acromegaly. The sensitivity, specificity and predictive values were determined in relation to the resul

Recent marsupials include about 280 species divided into 18 families and seven orders. Approximately 200 species live in Australia/New Guinea. The remaining species inhabit South America with some of these secondarily ranging into North America. In this study, we examine marsupial relationships and estimate their divergences times using complete mitochondrial (mt) genomes. The sampling, which incl

Recently, X-ray crystallographic evidence of quinoidal charge delocalization in poly-p-phenylene cation radicals was reported [Banerjee, M. et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2007, 129, 8070]. In this paper, direct visual evidence for quinoidal charge delocalization in quaterphylene (QP) is shown with three-dimensional (31)) charge difference densities. It was revealed that the extra positive charge mainly

Uttorkningstiderna för vanliga betongkonstruktioner är ofta mycket långa. Denna skrift behandlar hur lång tid betongkonstruktioner måste torka efter en vattenskada för att undvika skador i angränsande konstruktioner, material och ytskikt. Skriften ger förslag till praktiska åtgärder för att få till stånd den nödvändiga uttorkningen.

We report on large scale ab initio calculation for the 4s(2) S-1(0)-4s4p P-1,3(0,1,2) transitions in the zinc-like sequence, using the multiconfiguration Dirac Fock ( MCDF) method. Our attention is focused on the spin-forbidden transition 4s(2) S-1(0)-4s4p P-3(1) and the hyperfine- induced ( HPF) transition 4s(2) S-1(0)-4s4p P-3(0) for ions between Z = 30 ( Zn) and Z = 47 ( Ag). Our results provid

PURPOSE: To describe the introduction and performance of proton MR spectroscopy (1H-MRS) in the daily routine of a modern standard MR unit. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Over an 8-month period, 52 patients with brain lesions were studied with 1H-MRS, using SE and STEAM sequences for chemical-shift imaging and single-volume spectroscopy. The quality of the spectra was graded from 1 (best) to 3, and the mai

In some supersymmetric models, the gluino ((g) over tilde) is predicted to be light and stable. In that case, it would hadronize to form R-hadrons. In these models, the missing energy signature of the lightest supersymmetric particle is no longer valid, even if R-parity is conserved. Therefore, such a gluino is not constrained by hadron collider results, which looked for the decay (g) over tilde -

Results from large scale, ab initio MCHF calculations are presented for the transition properties of the 3s2 3p2(3)P(J-)e{3s3p3, 3s2 3p3d, 3s2 3p4s} 5S2o and 3P2o intercombination and resonance lines in P II. The agreement with experiment is good, the systematic approach shows convergence and the agreement between different forms of the oscillator strength is excellent for the resonance lines.
