Pili are filamentous surface structures that play a key role in the adhesion, colonisation and biofilm formation of Gram-positive bacteria. These multiprotein appendages are assembled through a highly ...

Let D be a bounded Lipschitz domain in Rn and let K(x, z), x ∊ D, z ∊ ∂D, be the Martin kernel based at $x_{0}\in D$. For x, y ∊ D, let k(x, y) = inf{h(x): h ...

In this paper we give complete characterizations, in terms of Dini numbers and integrals, of positive functions $\Phi(u)$ defined in $(0, \infty)$ satisfying the conditions: (i) $\Phi(u)/u^a$ is ...
