we examine the symplectic group $sp_{2m}(q)$ and its correspondingaffine subgroup. we construct the affine subgroup and show that itis a split extension. as an illustration of the above we study theaffine subgroup $2^5{:}sp_4(2)$ of the group $sp_6(2)$.

The discovery of (interesting) subgroups has a high practical relevance in all domains of science or business. For example, consider statements such as: ”the unemployment rate is above average for young men with a low educational level”, ”smokers with a positive family history are at a significantly higher risk for coronary heart disease”, or ”single males living in rural areas do rarely take o...

A previous study has shown that malnourished, clinically stable patients with liver cirrhosis are in protein and energy balance at their spontaneous dietary intake and that an improvement in nutritional status cannot be anticipated at this intake (Nielsen et al. 1993). In the present study we examined to what extent oral intake could be increased by nutritional support, and to what extent dieta...

This research was conducted with the purpose of appraising the effect of Selenium (Se) and/or amino acid fertilizers (AA) on improving growth, physiology, and biofortification of parsley grown under high EC condition. Plants were foliarly supplemented with four levels of Se (0, 25, 50, 100 mgl-1) and/or two concentrations of AA (0 and 0.2%) three times with a week interval. The significantly in...

OBJECTIVE Understanding the role of endophenotypes is essential for process models of psychopathology. This study examined which candidate cognitive endophenotypes statistically mediate common variant genetic risk for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). METHOD A case-control design using community-recruited volunteer children 7 to 11 years of age (n = 656, n = 435 ADHD), of whom ...

Abstract_ Introduction: Viola plant has been used traditionally for the treatment of neurological disorders. We aimed at determining whether pretreatment with Viola spathulata extract can alleviate the severity of ischemic-reperfusion damages and it can exert its protective effects through the regulation of a sodium/calcium exchanger (NCX3) gene expression in a rat brain. Methods: Male Wistar r...
