On a new proof of Moser's twist mapping theorem
1976
Based on a new idea of the author, a new proof of J. Moser's twist mapping theorem is presented.
Green sulphur bacteria as a component of the photosynthetic plankton community in small dimictic humic lakes with an anoxic hypolimnion
2013
High bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) concentrations in the anoxic water layers of some humic lakes have indicated that green sulphur bacteria (GSB) may be ecologically significant. The abundance and spatial distribution of GSB were therefore addressed in 13 small humic lakes using fragment analysis and sequencing of PCR-amplified 16S rRNA genes. GSB were detected from lakes where the photosynthetically active radiation was at least 1.1 µE m �2 s �1 at the oxic� anoxic boundary layer. In these lakes, 13 to 42% of the 16S rRNA gene sequences of the anoxic water column were assigned to GSB. The spatial distribution of GSB was tightly correlated with the spectrophotometrically measured BChl concentr…
Continuous images of arcs: Extensions of Cornette's Theorem
2015
In [J.L. Cornette “Image of a Hausdorff arc” is cyclically extensible and reducible Trans. Am. Math. Soc., 199 (1974), pp. 253–267], Cornette proved that a locally connected Hausdorff continuum X is the continuous image of an arc if and only if each of its cyclic elements is the continuous image of an arc. Cyclic elements form a closed null cover of X by retracts of X. We generalize Cornette's result to closed null covers of X with a dendritic structure. We give examples to show that some of our conditions are necessary and we pose some open questions.
Variabilité architecturale du test chez le genre Collyrites (Echinoidea, Disasteroidea) au Jurassique moyen.
2007
Resume L’evolution de l’architecture du test et en particulier celle du « complexe systeme apical–periprocte » chez le genre Collyrites (Echinoidea, Disasteroidea) est analysee pour les especes des etages Bathonien et Callovien (Jurassique moyen) provenant de plusieurs localites du bassin de Paris. Le systeme apical du genre Collyrites est subdivise en deux parties : (i) une partie anterieure, denommee trivium, composee de quatre plaques genitales (1, 2, 3, 4) et de trois plaques ocellaires (II ; III ; IV) ; (ii) une partie posterieure, denommee bivium, composee de deux plaques ocellaires (I, V) et d’une plaque genitale (5), sans gonopore et non fonctionnelle, entourant le periprocte. Le pa…
Cardinal invariants of cellular Lindelof spaces
2018
A space X is said to be cellular-Lindelof if for every cellular family $$\mathcal {U}$$ there is a Lindelof subspace L of X which meets every element of $$\mathcal {U}$$ . Cellular-Lindelof spaces generalize both Lindelof spaces and spaces with the countable chain condition. Solving questions of Xuan and Song, we prove that every cellular-Lindelof monotonically normal space is Lindelof and that every cellular-Lindelof space with a regular $$G_\delta $$ -diagonal has cardinality at most $$2^\mathfrak {c}$$ . We also prove that every normal cellular-Lindelof first-countable space has cardinality at most continuum under $$2^{<\mathfrak {c}}=\mathfrak {c}$$ and that every normal cellular-Lindel…
Topological Dual Systems for Spaces of Vector Measure p-Integrable Functions
2016
[EN] We show a Dvoretzky-Rogers type theorem for the adapted version of the q-summing operators to the topology of the convergence of the vector valued integrals on Banach function spaces. In the pursuit of this objective we prove that the mere summability of the identity map does not guarantee that the space has to be finite dimensional, contrary to the classical case. Some local compactness assumptions on the unit balls are required. Our results open the door to new convergence theorems and tools regarding summability of series of integrable functions and approximation in function spaces, since we may find infinite dimensional spaces in which convergence of the integrals, our vector value…
Integrating genomic binding site predictions using real-valued meta classifiers
2008
Currently the best algorithms for predicting transcription factor binding sites in DNA sequences are severely limited in accuracy. There is good reason to believe that predictions from different classes of algorithms could be used in conjunction to improve the quality of predictions. In this paper, we apply single layer networks, rules sets, support vector machines and the Adaboost algorithm to predictions from 12 key real valued algorithms. Furthermore, we use a ‘window’ of consecutive results as the input vector in order to contextualise the neighbouring results. We improve the classification result with the aid of under- and over-sampling techniques. We find that support vector machines …
Problems of coding stereo images in human memory
2010
This paper discusses the memorization and recall by man of a sequence of planar or stereoscopic images, including six frames that contain a planar strip (8×8 positions of the stimulus) or a volume strip (8×4×2 positions). At the recall stage, the subject chose between the stimulus and three distractors in each frame. It is shown that the times for recognition and recall are less for volume stimuli, while the percent of correct responses is greater for planar stimuli. For volume stimuli, the distribution of errors depends on the disparity between the target and the selected distractor. A model based on a heteroassociative neural network reproduces the error distribution for planar but not fo…
A spiking network for body size learning inspired by the fruit fly
2013
The concept of peripersonal space is an interesting research topics for psychologists, neurobiologists and for robotic applications. A living being can learn the representation of its own body to take the correct behavioral decision when interacting with the world. To transfer these important learning mechanisms on bio-robots, simple and efficient solutions can be found in the insect world. In this paper a neural-based model for body-size learning is proposed taking into account the results obtained in experiments with fruit flies. Simulations and experimental results on a roving platform are reported and compared with the biological counterpart.
Minimal clinically important difference for asthma endpoints: an expert consensus report
2020
Minimal clinically important difference (MCID) can be defined as the smallest change or difference in an outcome measure that is perceived as beneficial and would lead to a change in the patient's medical management.The aim of the current expert consensus report is to provide a “state-of-the-art” review of the currently available literature evidence about MCID for end-points to monitor asthma control, in order to facilitate optimal disease management and identify unmet needs in the field to guide future research.A series of MCID cut-offs are currently available in literature and validated among populations of asthmatic patients, with most of the evidence focusing on outcomes as patient repo…
