The vessel wall is an active, integrated organ composed of endothelial, smooth-muscle, and
fibroblast cells coupled to each other in a complex autocrine-paracrine set of interactions. …

Lower extremity ulcers represent a major concern for patients with diabetes and for those
who treat them, from both a quality of life and an economic standpoint. Studies to evaluate …

In this paper, we look for metrics of cohomogeneity one in D= 8 and 7 dimensions with Spin (7)
and G 2 holonomy, respectively. In D= 8, we first consider the case of principal orbits that …

… If A has no negative or zero eigenvalues in the metric g, one can choose w ~> 0 and w =
1 on OM such that R' = 0 everywhere. In this case/~[g] = ~l [g,] which is given entirely by the …

… ; they are linked by the constitutive relation G = -2 which in general is a non-linear relation
between G~ and F~. Only for a … Using the definition of G~,~ we may write the first integral as …

We extend Witten's proof of the positive mass theorem at spacelike infinity to show that the
mass is positive for initial data on an asymptotically flat spatial hypersurface Σ which is regular …

… It is easy to see that this is indeed the case since, forto g 0, we have … In fact, even if one
is interested in the usual case where G is constant with time, our results on time-…

The human and financial costs of lower-extremity amputation in patients with diabetes
mellitus are well recognized 1 . However, the rates of major amputation in the United States …

It is shown that the close connection between event horizons and thermodynamics which
has been found in the case of black holes can be extended to cosmological models with a …

One can evaluate the action for a gravitational field on a section of the complexified spacetime
which avoids the singularities. In this manner we obtain finite, purely imaginary values for …
