Such surface coatings are capable of reducing adherent macrophage spreading, while enabling early induction of cell cell interaction to form organotypic macrophage colonies or "spheres" (M-spheres).
The m-sphere (mathbb{S}^{m}) is defined by bigl{ x=(x_{1},ldots,x_{m+1} inmathbb{R}^{m+1} : langle x,xrangle=1bigr}, where (langlecdot,cdotrangle) denotes the Euclidean scalar product.
If ({x_{n}}) is defined by (1.4), then ({x_{n}}) Δ-converges to a point in F. In this section, we consider the m-sphere (mathbb{S}^{m}), which is a (operatorname {CAT} kappa)) space.
Thus, in terms of the variables (beta_{1},ldots, beta_{m}), our problem is to minimize ({J_{m}}(beta_{1},ldots{2},beta_{m}ta_{m})) on the surface (sigma_{m}) of the m dimensional sphere defined in (5.8).
Assuming chaff is uniformly distributed in a 150-m-diameter sphere, there is a total of 1.5 × 108 dipoles.
Absolute calibration for the sensitivity of an individual pixel was conducted using a 2-m integrating sphere at the National Institute for Polar Research, Japan.
The major part of this TMD system is a 6-m-diameter sphere that is made of steel and weighs 600 tons.
Next, around each point X n in phase space, an m-dimensional sphere, or radius, is calculated.
Three all-sky cooled-CCD cameras designed for mid-latitude nightglow measurements were developed at the Solar-Terrestrial Environment Laboratory and calibrated using a 2-m integrating-sphere and a spectrometer at the National Institute of Polar Research, Japan.
Afterwards, the resulting m-SiO2_C spheres were thoroughly washed with hydrofluoric acid to remove the silica and obtain the final product.
The geometry near a critical point of such a map can be described by an element of πm−1(Sn−1), by considering the way in which a small m − 1 sphere around the critical point maps into a topological n − 1 sphere around the critical value.
