In this paper we will explain an interesting phenomenon which occurs in general nonassociative algebras. More precisely, establish that any finite-dimensional commutative algebra over a field satisfying identity always contains $\frac12$ its Peirce spectrum. We also show the corresponding $\frac12$-Peirce module satisfies Jordan type fusion laws. The present approach is based on explicit repres...

I discuss the function of social identity signaling in facilitating cooperative group formation, and how the nature of that function changes with the structure of social organization. I propose that signals of social identity facilitate assortment for successful coordination in large-scale societies, and that the multidimensional, context-dependent nature of social identity is crucial for succe...

In this paper, the author introduces the concept of the quasi-geometrically convex functions, gives Hermite-Hadamard’s inequalities for GA-convex functions in fractional integral forms and defines a new identity for fractional integrals. By using this identity, the author obtains new estimates on generalization of Hadamard et al. type inequalities for quasi-geometrically convex functions via Ha...

Astrocytes are the most numerous cell type in the brain, where they are known to play multiple important functions. While there is increasing evidence of their morphological, molecular, and functional heterogeneity, it is not clear whether their positional and morphological identities are specified during brain development. We address this problem with a novel strategy to analyze cell lineages ...

In the last 15 years, knowledge of the molecular and genetic mechanisms that underlie floral induction, floral patterning, and floral organ identity has exploded. Elucidation of basic mechanisms has derived primarily from work in three dicot species: Antirrhinum majus, Arabidopsis thaliana, and Petunia hybrida. Although Antirrhinum and petunia have contributed fundamental breakthroughs to our u...

Objective. To analyze the genetic variability in two populations of the native canine breed “Uruguayan Cimarron” from different areas of the country. Materials and methods. DNA was isolated from 40 animals of the Cimarron breed. Using PCR, 11 RAPD (random amplified polymorphism of DNA) molecular markers were analyzed. Results. 14.9% of loci were polymorphic. We found an index of shared bands of...

Genetic characterization of two species of fruit flies belonging to the genus Bactrocera (=Dacus), namely, B. cucurbitae and B. dorsalis was carried out using ten RAPD markers. In B. cucurbitae and B. dorsalis twenty four and twenty one fragments were amplified ranging from 150bp-2000bp, respectively. Four out of ten primers were monomorphic. Mean heterozygosity in B. cucurbitae and B. dorsalis...

The variances of genetic variances within and between finite populations were systematically studied using a general multiple allele model with mutation in terms of identity by descent measures. We partitioned the genetic variances into components corresponding to genetic variances and covariances within and between loci. We also analyzed the sampling variance. Both transient and equilibrium re...
