Let {v; b2, b1} denote the class of extended directed triple systems of the order v in which the number of blocks of the form [a, b, a] is b2 and the number of blocks of the form [b, a, a] or [a, a, b] is b1. In this paper, the classes {v; b2, 0} and {v; 0, b1} have been constructed.

We study the semiring variety V generated by any finite number of finite fields F1, . . . , Fk and two-element distributive lattice B2, i.e., V = HSP{B2, F1, . . . , Fk}. It is proved that V is hereditarily finitely based, and that, up to isomorphism, B2 and all subfields of F1, . . . , Fk are the only subdirectly irreducible semirings in V.

BACKGROUND Aberrant neuron/glia interactions can contribute to a variety of neurodegenerative diseases and we have previously demonstrated that enhanced activation of Erb B2, which is a member of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family, can contribute to the development of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). In peripheral nerves, Erb B receptors are activated by various members of ...

We study positive solutions to the fractional semi-linear elliptic equation $${\left( { - \Delta } \right)^\sigma }u = K\left( x \right){u^{{{n + 2\sigma \over {n }}\,}}\,\,\,{\rm{in}}\,{B_2}\backslash \left\{ 0 \right\}$$ with an isolated singularity at origin, where K is a function on B2, punctured ball B2 {0} ⊂ ℝn n ⩾ 2, σ ∈ (0, 1), and (−Δ)σ Laplacian. In lower dimensions, we show that for ...

Treatment with beta-naphthoflavone (BNF) was found to induce 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase and aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase activities about 500-fold in the microsomal fraction of the rat ventral prostate but had no effect on aminopyrine N-demethylase or reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate:cytochrome c reductase activities. Phenobarbital (PB) treatment did not alter any of thes...

BACKGROUND Swine extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) is an important pathogen that leads to economic and welfare costs in the swine industry worldwide, and is occurring with increasing frequency in China. By far, various virulence factors have been recognized in ExPEC. Here, we investigated the virulence genotypes and clonal structure of collected strains to improve the knowledg...

Ribonucleoside diphosphate reductase is an allosteric enzyme consisting of two nonidentical subunits, proteins Bl and B2. Bl contains dithiols which participate in the oxidation-reduction reactions of electron transport, while B2 contains a free radical essential for activity. Ribonucleoside diphosphates are bound to Bl but not to B2. Addition of 2’-deoxy-2’-chloro ribonucleoside diphosphates t...

Given two open unit balls B1 and B2 in complex Banach spaces, we consider a holomorphic mapping f : B1 → B2 such that f(0) = 0 and f ′(0) is an isometry. Under some additional hypotheses on the Banach spaces involved, we prove that f(B1) is a complex closed analytic submanifold of B2.
