in this research, using an expansive channel in plan and along the longitudinal profile, deltaic reservoir sedimentation was studied. sedimentation in bed load governed conditions and delta formation in reservoir environment is a function of various parameters such as: geometrical shape of reservoir, bottom slope, hydrological properties and hydraulic conditions of inflowing stream, sediment lo...

Let F be a distribution and let f be a locally summable function. The distribution F( f ) is defined as the neutrix limit of the sequence {Fn( f )}, where Fn(x) = F(x)∗δn(x) and {δn(x)} is a certain sequence of infinitely differentiable functions converging to the Dirac delta-function δ(x). The composition of the distributions x−sIn|x| and |x| is evaluated for s= 1,2, . . . ,μ > 0 and μs = 1,2,...

Spt3 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a factor required for normal transcription from particular RNA polymerase II-dependent promoters. As a step towards analysing Spt3 structure-function relationships, we have identified and studied Spt3 homologues from three other yeasts: Kluyveromyces lactis, Clavispora opuntiae and Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Alignment of their predicted amino acid sequences s...

We propose a forced oscillation test modality for detecting upper airway obstruction (UAO) as an alternative to spirometric UAO indices in patients with tracheal stenosis. From oscillometry performed at different breathing flow rates, airway resistance at 5 Hz was determined at 0.5 l/s (R), and flow dependence of resistance was computed as the regression slope of resistance vs. flow up to 1 l/s...

Information about the molecular biology of the uracil carrier of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is now available but its properties as a symport are unexplored. We have now studied its proton stoichiometry at pH 6.5, 4.8 and 4.2, in a yeast strain overexpressing the symport and unable to metabolize uracil. After the depletion of cellular ATP, uracil uptake followed an approximately exponential time c...

We introduce the concept of exponentially $s$-convexity in second sense on a time scale interval. prove among other things that if $f: [a, b]\to \mathbb{R}$ is an $s$-convex function, then \begin{align*} &\frac{1}{b-a}\int_a^b f(t)\Delta t\\ &\leq \frac{f(a)}{e_{\beta}(a, x_0) (b-a)^{2s}}(h_2(a, b))^s+\frac{f(b)}{e_{\beta}(b, (b-a)^{2s}}(h_2(b, a))^s, \end{align*} where $\beta$ ...

The enantiopure agents d- and l-leucine, selectively bind RR and SS enantiomers from a racemate [Ni(alpha-rac-L)](2+) to give {[Ni(RR-L)(d-HLeu)](ClO(4))(2)}(n) (Delta-) and {[Ni(SS-L)(l-HLeu)](ClO(4))(2)}(n) (Lambda-), respectively, and leave the corresponding uninteracted SS and RR enantiomers of [Ni(alpha-SS-L)](ClO(4))(2) (S-) and [Ni(alpha-RR-L)](ClO(4))(2) (R-). Occasionally, a few crysta...

Stem cells have been identified as essential for maintaining multiple organ systems, including the hematopoietic system. The distinct cell fates of self-renewal and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) depend on cell division. Recently, several negative regulators of the cell cycle, such as the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors p21(Cip1), p27(Kip1), and p16(INK4a)/p19(ARF), have ...
