Shelukhin's Hofer distance and a symplectic cohomology barcode for contactomorphisms
No full textThis paper constructs a persistence module of Floer cohomology groups
associated to a contactomorphism of the ideal boundary of a Liouville manifold.
The barcode (or, bottleneck) distance between the persistence modules is
bounded from above by Shelukhin's Hofer distance. Moreover, the barcode is
supported (i.e., has spectrum) on the lengths of translated points of the
contactomorphism. We use this structure to prove various existence results for
translated points and to construct spectral invariants for contactomorphisms
which are monotone with respect to positive paths and continuous with respect
to Shelukhin's Hofer distance. While this paper was nearing completion, the

Edward Hofer of The Lennox Independent
No full textIn 1913 a 14-year-old South Dakota native walked into the local weekly newspaper office and applied for the position of printer\u27s devil. The teenager was hired. Edward Hofer\u27s career, which has spanned more than 70 years, touched four southeastern South Dakota communities and included the responsibilities of editor/publisher at The Lennox Independent for more than 50 years. The journalist worked through two world wars, the 1930s depression, periods of prosperity, and great changes and advances in technology. The focus of this paper will be on a journalist/businessman supplying a community service--newspaper and job printing--for more than half a century in the same community. This thesis should give a better understanding of the role of a South Dakota weekly newspaper editor in the 20th century. The story of Hofer\u27s life and work in the field of printing and journalism is representative of a small-town editor\u27s struggle to exist and succeed. His story shows the work of one editor maintaining the only formal channel of communication in the area and keeping a community informed about news and events for more than a half century. Thomas F. Barnhart described a typical weekly editor in his 1936 book, Weekly Newspaper Management. The description could have been Hofer. He concerns himself primarily with the constructive side of commun1ty activities, reporting significant and insignificant news reliably, fairly, and interestingly. His paper thrives because of the curiosity of its readers which may be explained as a desire to know more about the lives of neighbors and friends. Hofer was a publisher recording news when South Dakota was entering its 35th year of statehood. As South Dakota approached the centennial mark of statehood, Hofer was still active in the printing and news business. The study of Hofer\u27s career will provide an historical overview of printing and journalism in rural mid-America. Hofer\u27s story spans nearly three-fourths of a century. The paper will also provide the author with a better understanding of journalism in her hometown and will provide the historians in Lennox and Lincoln County with a carefully researched biography of a long-time resident and newspaper editor. This paper will provide a summary of the history of The Lennox Independent and a biography of Edward Hofer. The paper will examine Hofer\u27s efforts to make the newspaper a profitable business through the supplement of income from the commercial printing business, especially the commercial carnival job business. The paper will also record how Edward Hofer used The Lennox Independent to promote the Lennox Municipal Band

Abstract
The relative importance of muscle activity versus neurotrophic factors in the maintenance of muscle differentiation has been greatly debated. Muscle biopsies from spinal cord injury patients, who were trained with an innovative protocol of functional electrical stimulation (FES) for prolonged periods (2.4-9.3 years), offered the unique opportunity of studying the structural recovery of denervated fibers from severe atrophy under the sole influence of muscle activity. FES stimulation induced surprising recovery of muscle structure, mass, and force even in patients whose muscles had been denervated for prolonged periods before the beginning of FES training (up to 2 years) and had almost completely lost muscle-specific internal organization. Ninety percent (or more) of the fibers analyzed by electron microscopy showed a striking recovery of the ultrastructural organization of myofibrils and Ca(2+)-handling membrane systems. This functional/structural restoration follows a pattern that mimics some aspects of normal muscle differentiation. Most importantly, the recovery occurs in the complete absence of motor and sensory innervation and of nerve-derived trophic factors, that is, solely under the influence of muscle activity induced by electrical stimulation.
