We have previously reported that mechanical distention of alveolar epithelial type II cells in culture favored the expression of the type I cell phenotype and inhibited the expression of the type II cell phenotype. The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of continuous mechanical contraction on the expression of specific markers for the type I and type II cell phenotype...

In this paper, we introduce a new sequential space as generalization of M − metricspaces and b metric spaces. generalized define two contractive mappings namely m contraction quasi-contraction prove some fixed point theorems for such type mappings. Several illustrative examples have been presented in strengthening the hypothesis our theorems.

In this work, we give a partial positive answer to the question concerning set-valued quasicontraction proposed by Amini-Harandi (Appl. Math. Lett. 24:1791-1794 2011). By useful lemma, prove fixed point theorem for quasi-contraction, which extends range of contraction constant in result from [0, 1/2) 1/3? 3). Also, new simple proof quasi-contraction type Haghi et al. 25:843-846 2012). Finally, ...

We investigate string solutions to the classical equations of motion (" classical QCD strings ") for a dual Ginzburg-Landau model corresponding to SU (3) gluodynamics in an abelian projection. For a certain relation between couplings of the model the string solutions are defined by first order differential equations. These solutions are related to vortex configurations of the Abelian Higgs mode...

background: giardia duodenalis is one of the most common human intestinal pro-tozoan parasites worldwide and is endemic throughout the world with a vast range of mammalian hosts. the present study aimed to identify the prevalence of g. duo-denalis isolates and determine the most common of its assemblages in the patients referring to health centers and hospitals in fars province, iran that will ...

We study SU(3)-structures induced on orientable hypersurfaces of sevendimensional manifolds with G2-structure. Taking Gray-Hervella types for both structures into account, we relate the type of SU(3)-structure and the type of G2-structure with the shape tensor of the hypersurface.

in the present paper, we introduces the notion of integral type contractive mapping with respect to ordered s-metric space and prove some coupled common fixed point results of integral type contractive mapping in ordered s-metric space. moreover, we give an example to support our main result.

We recently described a sequence similarity between the small ruminant lentivirus surface unit glycoprotein (SU) gp135 and the second conserved region (C2) of the primate lentivirus gp120 which indicates a structural similarity between gp135 and the inner proximal domain of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 gp120 (I. Hötzel and W. P. Cheevers, Virus Res. 69:47-54, 2000). Here we found tha...
