CONTRADICTORY ACTIONS OF CAFFEINE, CORAMINE, AND METRAZOL

Estradiol: a hormone with diverse and contradictory neuroprotective actions

The concept that estrogens exert important neuroprotective actions has gained considerable attention during the past decade. Numerous studies have provided a deep understanding of the seemingly contradictory actions of estrogens. We realize more than ever that the effects of estrogens (with and without simultaneous or sequential progestins) are diverse and sometimes opposite, depending on the u...

Computational Study of Molecular Mechanisms of Caffeine Actions

Caffeine (CAF) is one of the most widely and regularly consumed biologically active substances. We use computer simulation approach to the study of CAF activity by searching for its possible complexes with biopolymer fragments. The principal CAF target at physiologically important concentrations refers to adenosine receptors. It is a common opinion that CAF is a competitive antagonist of adenos...

Actions of vector groupoids

In this work we deal with actions of vector groupoid which is a new concept in the literature‎. ‎After we give the definition of the action of a vector groupoid on a vector space‎, ‎we obtain some results related to actions of vector groupoids‎. ‎We also apply some characterizations of the category and groupoid theory to vector groupoids‎. ‎As the second part of the work‎, ‎we define the notion...

On Being Contradictory

This paper discusses recognizing and producing contradictions. After illustrating the phenomena of contradiction, the paper presents conceptual classes of contradiction and gives an overview of the how they can be recognized. The next part discusses the construction of contradictions, in particular with respect to contradicting historic events. The object of this paper is to examine the computa...
