Ribbon Complex
… is a series of experiments performed on how ribbon-like bands of material can be folded to generate special volumes that can accommodate the functional aspects of a building program.

Combinatorics of ribbon tableaux
… functions ... Which are generating functions for ribbon tableaux (hereon called ribbon functions), first defined by Lascoux, Leclerc and Thibon. Following work of Fomin and Greene, I introduce a set of operators called ribbon Schur operators on the space of partitions. I develop the theory of …

Reflection arrangements and ribbon representations
Ehrenborg and Jung recently related the order complex for the lattice of d-divisible partitions with the simplicial complex of pointed ordered set partitions via a homotopy equivalence. The latter has top homology naturally identified as a Specht module. Their work unifies that of Calderbank, …

Molecular Physiology of the Ribbon Synapse
Durch Ca2+-Einstrom hervorgerufene Exocytose in den inneren Haarzellen (IHZ) der Cochlea ist ein kritischer Schritt für die Wahrnehmung von Geräuschen. In dieser Arbeit wurde mit Hilfe von knock-out-Mäusen die Regulierung von Ca2+-Kanälen in IHZ der Maus durch die CaV(beta)2 Ca2+-Kanaluntereinheit …

Enumeration and classification of ribbon knots
A ribbon knot is one which bounds a certain type of singular disk in the 3-sphere. In this work we investigate an enumeration procedure for such disks and study a natural topological grouping of related ribbons which differ by twists along imbedded bands. When the knots under consideration possess …

Customisable Magnetic Components Using Nanocrystalline Flake Ribbon
… In this thesis, a novel nanocrystalline flake ribbon (NFR) is proposed to customise high-performance magnetic components for power electronics in a cost-effective way without high-energy equipment. Conventional nanocrystalline alloys do offer much higher saturation flux density and lower core …

A homotopy reciprocity law for ribbon disc complements
In this paper, we present two new spines for ribbon disc complements. We describe Craggs's 3-dimensional spine and introduce a 2-dimensional spine ${\cal W}\sp2$ which we show satisfies the homotopy reciprocity law. We demonstrate that the reciprocity property remains invariant under insertions and …

Neighborhood ribbon integrated with local provision and public-shared space
… proposed community hub will serve as an active ribbon to bridge two different urban scales: neighborhood and urban infrastructure. On one hand, the ribbon opens several adjacent `enclosed' residential compounds, different functions merge into the isolated residential blocks, and connect together …

The Mitotic Spindle Mediates Inheritance of the Golgi Ribbon Structures
The mammalian Golgi ribbon disassembles during mitosis and reforms in both daughter cells after division. Mitotic Golgi membranes concentrate around the spindle poles, suggesting that the spindle may control Golgi partitioning. To test this, cells were induced to divide asymmetrically with the …

Slice implies mutant ribbon for odd 5-stranded pretzel knots
<p>The Slice-Ribbon Conjecture, posed by Fox in 1966, is a long-standing open conjecture that posits that every slice knot is a ribbon knot. It is known and easily seen that every ribbon knot is a slice knot, implying that the conjecture is really a statement about the equivalence of the two …

Tracing the Pink Ribbon: Development of a Family Resilience Measure
Resilience is one of the most important biopsychosocial concepts in contemporary social science. It may mediate the impact of adversity on family health, and be a potential location for intervention. There is a need for conceiving of the mechanisms within families that impact their health …

Protein-Protein Interactions That Regulate Neurotransmitter Release From Retinal Ribbon Synapses
… Regulate Neurotransmitter Release from Retinal Ribbon Synapses Photoreceptors and bipolar cells in the retina form specialized chemical synapses called ribbon synapses. This type of synapse differs physiologically from “conventional” chemical synapses. While “conventional” synapses exocytose …

Group dynamics among physical educators and principals in Blue Ribbon Schools
… 4 principals representing three different Blue Ribbon recognized physical education departments. Each physical education teacher and principal participated in formal and informal interviews designed to explore their perceptions of group dynamics and leadership within and around their respective …

Enhancement of Inductive Power Transfer Technology: Iron-based Nanocrystalline Ribbon Cores
… charging pads. In particular, nanocrystalline ribbon cores are considered a promising material. This material offers a higher saturation flux density, a higher permeability, superior thermal performance, and mechanical robustness compared to the standard MnZn ferrites commonly used in IPT …
