Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder and it is estimated that its annual incidence rate will continue to increase in the future worldwide. Increased oxidant factors and decreased antioxidant defense are two of the factors resulting in diabetes. In the present study, we aimed to investigate Citrullus Colocynthis pulp effects on oxidant and antioxidant factors of liver in st...

objective: metacognitions are vulnerability factors in predicting development of psychological disorders especially generalized anxiety disorder (gad) and dysthymia, which are highly comorbid. many studies have shown that gad and dysthymia have similar underlying metacognitive factors but the results are contradictory. the aim of present research was to test this hypothesis by using new instrum...

Assuming a quasi-generalized Riemann Hypothesis (6) for certain Dedekind zeta functions, we prove the following theorem: If a ≥ 2 is a square-free integer, then for the exponent function f a (n) (defined below) we have n≤x (a,n)=1 (Ω(f a (n)) − 1 2 (log log n) 2) 2 ≪ x(log log x) 3. This implies that the function Ω(f a (n)) has " normal order " 1 2 (log log n) 2 .

We obtain a new integral formula for solutions of the rational quantum Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation associated with Lie algebra slN at level zero. Our formula contains the integral representation of form factors of SU(N) invariant Thirring model constructed by F. Smirnov. We write down recurrence relations arising from the construction of the form factors. We check that the recurrence relati...

In this paper we consider the following problems: how many different subsets of Σ can occur as set of all length-n factors of a finite word? If a subset is representable, how long a word do we need to represent it? How many such subsets are represented by words of length t? For the first problem, we give upper and lower bounds of the form α 2 n in the binary case. For the second problem, we giv...

Let $nin mathbb{N}$. An additive map $h:Ato B$ between algebras $A$ and $B$ is called $n$-Jordan homomorphism if $h(a^n)=(h(a))^n$ for all $ain A$. We show that every $n$-Jordan homomorphism between commutative Banach algebras is a $n$-ring homomorphism when $n < 8$. For these cases, every involutive $n$-Jordan homomorphism between commutative C-algebras is norm continuous.

All denitrifiers can keep the steady-state concentrations of nitrite and nitric oxide (NO) below cytotoxic levels by controlling the expression of denitrification gene clusters by redox signalling through transcriptional regulators belonging to the CRP (cAMP receptor protein)/FNR (fumarate and nitrate reductase regulator) superfamily.

The investigation of site-specific glycosylation is essential for further understanding the many biological roles that glycoproteins play; however, existing methods for characterizing site-specific glycosylation either are slow or yield incomplete information. Mass spectrometry (MS) is being applied to investigate site-specific glycosylation with bottom-up proteomic type strategies. When using ...
