determinant of the hankel matrix with binomial entries
abstract in this thesis at first we comput the determinant of hankel matrix with enteries a_k (x)=?_(m=0)^k??((2k+2-m)¦(k-m)) x^m ? by using a new operator, ? and by writing and solving differential equation of order two at points x=2 and x=-2 . also we show that this determinant under k-binomial transformation is invariant.
15 صفحه اولActive transforming growth factor-β2 in the aqueous humor of posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy patients
PURPOSE Posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy (PPCD) is characterized by abnormal proliferation of corneal endothelial cells. It was shown that TGF-β2 present in aqueous humor (AH) could help maintaining the corneal endothelium in a G1-phase-arrest state. We wanted to determine whether the levels of this protein are changed in AH of PPCD patients. METHODS We determined the concentrations o...
متن کاملTransforming Growth Factor-β Levels in Human Aqueous Humor of Glaucomatous, Diabetic and Uveitic Eyes
PURPOSE Transforming growth factor-beta2 is known to be present at elevated levels in the aqueous humor of patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and diabetes but not in uveitis-related secondary glaucoma. We investigated total TGF-beta2 levels and levels of the active form of TGF-beta2 in the aqueous humor of eyes with different types of glaucoma. METHODS The concentration of the t...
متن کاملMatrix metalloproteinase-2, tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-2, and transforming growth factor beta 1 in the aqueous humor and serum of patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome
PURPOSE The aim of the study reported in this article was to determine the presence and quantitative differences of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), its tissue inhibitor (TIMP-2) and transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) in the aqueous humor and serum samples of patients with pseudoexfoliation (PEX) syndrome. METHODS Aqueous humor and serum samples were collected from 32 patients with...
متن کاملThe Effect of Regular Swimming Exercise on the Levels of Renal Matrix Mettaloproteinase-2 and Transforming Growth Factor-β1 in Rats with Diabetes
Background & Aims: Numerous studies have reported the renoprotective effects of exercise in both human and animal models of diabetic nephropathy. However, detailed mechanism of action by which exercise has a favorable influence on renal fibrogenic factors is not yet fully understood. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the effect of swimming exercise on the activity ...
