background: glaucoma is one of the most common causes of blindness and is usually associated with elevated intraocular pressure. in patients with primary open angle glau-coma the number of trabecular meshwork cells is decreased. death of the trabecular meshwork cells may be a result of apoptosis. objective: to investigate the aqueous humor levels of soluble fas (sfas) and fas-ligand (sfasl) in ...

in this paper, the gradual real numbers are considered and the notion of the gradual normed linear space is given. also some topological properties of such spaces are studied, and it is shown that the gradual normed linear space is a locally convex space, in classical sense. so the results in locally convex spaces can be translated in gradual normed linear spaces. finally, we give an examp...

background: external beam radiotherapy (ebrt) is mainstay of treatment in patients with locally advanced cervical carcinoma (lacc). three dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3dcrt) and intensity modulated radiotherapy (imrt) are mainly used in ebrt. however which one is superior is still controversial. materials and methods: forty patients of lacc treated with imrt were selected for this study....

let $pounds$ be the category of all locally compact abelian (lca) groups‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎the groups $g$ in $pounds$ are determined such that every extension $0to xto yto gto 0$ with divisible‎, ‎$sigma-$compact $x$ in $pounds$ splits‎. ‎we also determine the discrete or compactly generated lca groups $h$ such that every pure extension $0to hto yto xto 0$ splits for each divisible group $x$ ...

we characterize strictly diagonal type of embeddings offinitary symmetric groups in terms of cardinality and the characteristic. namely, we prove thefollowing.let $kappa$ be an infinite cardinal. if$g=underset{i=1}{stackrel{infty}bigcup} g_i,$ where $ g_i=fsym(kappa n_i)$,$(h=underset{i=1}{stackrel{infty}bigcup}h_i, $ where $ h_i=alt(kappa n_i) ), $ is a group of strictly diagonal type and$xi=(...
