Vascular smooth muscle of the frog was skinned by 0.2 mg/ml saponin for 20 mm. The skinned preparations activated by Ca2+, at 2 mmol/l Mg2+ and MgATP2-, gave half maximal force at Ca2+ = (1.32 +/- 0.07) x 10(-6) mol/l and maximal force at Ca2+ = 3.16 x 10(-5) mol/l (35 +/- 4% of the maximal contraction induced by KCl in living smooth muscles). The Hill coefficient was 1.51 +/- 0.11. Thus, the s...

Data on pulmonary function, with particular reference to flow-volumes, were obtained in 760 normal healthy Indians in Bombay, who had never smoked and who had no symptom or history of cardiorespiratory disease. Prediction equations were derived for spirometric parameters and for maximal expiratory flows. The maximal expiratory flow-volume curves showed considerable intersubject variability. Bot...

We propose a parameter-free method for the detection of dominant points and polygonal representation of possibly noisy curves. Based on [1, 2], this work aims at a parameter-free method through a multiscale approach. We propose a new evaluation criterion to automatically determine the most appropriate width parameter for each input curve. Thanks to a recent result [3] on the decomposition of a ...

In this paper, algebraic-geometric (AG) codes associated with the GGS maximal curve are investigated. The Weierstrass semigroup at all Fq2-rational points of the curve is determined; the Feng-Rao designed minimum distance is computed for infinite families of such codes, as well as the automorphism group. As a result, some linear codes with better relative parameters with respect to one-point He...

Let K be a number field. The Gal(K/K)-action on the the torsion of an elliptic curve E/K gives rise to an adelic representation ρE : Gal(K/K) → GL2(Ẑ). From an analysis of maximal closed subgroups of GL2(Ẑ) we derive useful necessary and sufficient conditions for ρE to be surjective. Using these conditions, we compute an example of a number field K and an elliptic curve E/K that admits a surjec...

The coamoeba of any complex algebraic plane curve V is its image in the real torus under the argument map. The area counted with multiplicity of the coamoeba of any algebraic curve in (C∗)2 is bounded in terms of the degree of the curve. We show in this Note that up to multiplication by a constant in (C∗)2, the complex algebraic plane curves whose coamoebas are of maximal area (counted with mul...

The \L{curve" is a plot (in ordinary or doubly{logarithmic scale) of the norm of (Tikhonov{) regularized solutions of an ill{posed problem versus the norm of the residuals. We show that the popular criterion of choosing the parameter corresponding to the point with maximal curvature of the L{curve does not yield a convergent regularization strategy to solve the ill{posed problem. Nevertheless, ...

This paper consists of mainly two parts. First it is a survey of some results on automorphisms of Riemann surfaces and Fuchsian groups. A theorem of Hurwitz states that the maximal automorphism group of a compact Riemann surface of genus 9 has order at most 84(g-1). It is well-known that the Klein quartic is the unique genus 3 curve that attains the Hurwitz bound. We will show in the second par...

In 2017 Skabelund constructed two new examples of maximal curves S ˜ q and R as covers the Suzuki Ree curves, respectively. The resulting are analogous to Giulietti–Korchmáros cover Hermitian curve. this paper a complete characterization all Galois subcovers is given. Calculating genera corresponding we find additions list known over finite fields.

this study was designed to investigate the effects of tangerine, orange, and grapefruit juice on the pharmacokinetic pattern of cyclosporine a in rats. forty male sprague-dawley rats were divided into four groups to receive water, orange, tangerine, or grapefruit juices respectively. water or juices (10 ml/kg) were given orally twice a day for 3 days. three hours after the 5 th dose, cyclospori...
