For example, every regular Borel measure on a dissipated space is separable. A product of two compact LOTSes is usually not dissipated, but it may satisfy a weakening of that property. In fact, the degree of dissipation of a space can be used to distinguish topologically a product of n LOTSes from a product of m LOTSes.34 pagesGeneral Topology54D30; 54F05text
