Sensitive dependence of geometric Gibbs states

For quadratic-like maps, we show a phenomenon of sensitive dependence of geometric Gibbs states: There are analytic families of quadratic-like maps for which an arbitrarily small perturbation of the parameter can have a definite effect on the low-temperature geometric Gibbs states. Furthermore, this phenomenon is robust: There is an open set of analytic 2-parameter families of quadratic-like maps that exhibit sensitive dependence of geometric Gibbs states. We introduce a geometric version of the Peierls condition for contour models ensuring that the low-temperature Gibbs states are concentrated near the critical orbit.Comment: Minor change

A result on the existence and uniqueness of stationary solutions for a bioconvective flow model

In this note we prove the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions for the boundary value problem modelling the stationary case of the bioconvective flow problem introduced by Tuval et. al. (2005, {\it PNAS} 102, 2277--2282). We derive some appropriate a priori estimates for the weak solution, which implies the existence, by application of Gossez theorem, and the uniqueness by standard methodology of comparison of two arbitrary solutions.Comment: 6 pages, 0 figure

The proof of three power-exponential inequalities

In this paper we prove three power-exponential inequalities for positive real numbers. In particular, we conclude that this proofs give affirmatively answers to three, until now, open problems (conjectures~4.4, 2.1 and 2.2) posed by C{\^i}rtoaje in the following two works: "{\it J. Inequal. Pure Appl. Math.} 10, Article 21, 2009" and "{\it J. Nonlinear Sci. Appl.} 4:2:130-137, 2011". Moreover, we present a new proof of the inequality $a^{ra}+b^{rb}\ge a^{rb}+b^{ra}$ for all positive real numbers $a$ and $b$ and $r\in [0,e]$. In addition, three new conjectures are presented.Comment: 9 page

Structural prediction and in silico physicochemical characterization for mouse caltrin I and bovine caltrin proteins

It is known that caltrin (calcium transport inhibitor) protein binds to sperm cells during ejaculation and inhibits extracellular Ca2+ uptake. Although the sequence and some biological features of mouse caltrin I and bovine caltrin are known, their physicochemical properties and tertiary structure are mainly unknown. We predicted the 3D structures of mouse caltrin I and bovine caltrin by molecular homology modeling and threading. Surface electrostatic potentials and electric fields were calculated using the Poisson–Boltzmann equation. Several different bioinformatics tools and available web servers were used to thoroughly analyze the physicochemical characteristics of both proteins, such as their Kyte and Doolittle hydropathy scores and helical wheel projections. The results presented in this work significantly aid further understanding of the molecular mechanisms of caltrin proteins modulating physiological processes associated with fertilization.Fil: Grasso, Ernesto Javier.

Civil Society Institutional Response: Peaceful Intervention to Resolve Armed Conflicts

The civil society sector has been quite visible in the Philippine landscape since the end of the Marcos administration. Peace civil society organizations (CSOs), in particular, have multiplied in number after the Martial Law period in response to efforts to seek for a lasting solution to the armed conflicts in the Philippines. More of their objectives, programs, and expansion are detailed in this Notes.civil society, armed conflict, civil society organizations (CSOs), peace CSOs, peace zones, peace coalitions
