In this paper, an extension of Darbo’s fixed point theorem via θ -F-contractions in a Banach space has been presented. Measure of noncompactness approach is the main tool in the presentation of our proofs. As an application, ...

We report measurements of the branching fractions of singly Cabibbo-suppressed decays Lambda(+)(c) -> p eta and Lambda(+)(c) -> p pi(0) using the full Belle data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 980.6 ...

In this article I reflect upon political republicanism and its conceptual development in distinct historical periods. For this, I summarize the position of key republican authors and analyse the main concepts which have ...

Endocrinologists apply the idea of feedback loops to explain how hormones regulate certain bodily functions such as glucose metabolism. In particular, feedback loops focus on the maintenance of the plasma concentrations ...

Increasing urbanization worldwide calls for more sustainable urban development. Simultaneously, the global biodiversity crisis accentuates the need of fostering biodiversity within cities. Policies supporting urban nature ...

We report the measurement of e(+) e(-) -> D-s(+) Ds(2)*(2573)(-) c.c. via initial-state radiation using a data sample of an integrated luminosity of 921.9 fb(-1) collected with the Belle detector at the Upsilon(4S) and ...

Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1; MIM #160900) is an autosomal dominant disorder, clinically characterized by progressive muscular weakness and multisystem degeneration. The broad phenotypes observed in patients with DM1 ...

For sodium (Na)-rechargeable batteries to compete, and go beyond the currently prevailing Li-ion technologies, mastering the chemistry and accompanying phenomena is of supreme importance. Among the crucial components of ...

Dmrt5 (Dmrta2) and Dmrt3 are key regulators of cortical patterning and progenitor proliferation and differentiation. In this study, we show an altered apical to intermediate progenitor transition, with a delay in SP ...

BACKGROUND: Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) should be seen as a tool that provides an overall view of the general clinical condition of a COPD patient. The aims of this study were to identify variables associated ...
