Let G be a finite group. It is well known that a Mackey functor {H 7→ M(H)} is a module over the Burnside ring functor {H 7→ Ω(H)}, where H ranges over the set of all subgroups of G. For a fixed homomorphism w : G → {−1, 1}, the Wall group functor {H 7→ Ln(Z[H], w|H)} is not a Mackey functor if w is nontrivial. In this paper, we show that the Wall group functor is a module over the Burnside rin...

This study investigates the effect of supplementing bovine follicular fluids (FF) to rabbit sperm motility, acrosome reaction and transaminases activities. Ovarian FF were collected from 46 pairs of bovine ovaries. Normal follicles were classified, according to their diameters, into small (SFF, ≤4 mm), medium (MFF,>4-8 mm), large (LFF,> 8 mm) and cystic (CSTFF,>20 mm). Rabbit semen was collecte...

Let D be a division ring with centre K and dim, D< ? a valuation on K and v a noninvariant extension of ? to D. We define the initial ramfication index of v over ?, ?(v/ ?) .Let A be a valuation ring of o with maximal ideal m, and v , v ,…, v noninvariant extensions of w to D with valuation rings A , A ,…, A . If B= A , it is shown that the following conditions are equivalent: (i) B i...

Introduction: During intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) technique, theoretically, presence of flattening filter (FF) across the beamline of clinical linear accelerator (linac) is not essential to obtain uniform lateral profiles due to intensity modulation of photon beams by multileaf collimators (MLCs). The aim of this study was to investigate the dosimetrical propert...

The inhaled corticosteroid fluticasone furoate (FF) and the long-acting β₂ agonist vilanterol (VI) are in development as a combined once-daily therapy for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Our study objectives were to compare the efficacy and safety of once-daily FF/VI with FF alone and twice-daily fluticasone propionate (FP) in patients aged ≥12 years with moderate-to-severe pe...

The local regulation of ovarian aromatase enzyme in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) was studied with aromatase conversion and [11C]vorozole-binding assays to analyze aromatase activity, substrate-enzyme affinity and number of aromatase binding sites in non-cultured human granulosa cells (GC) incubated with different sources and preparations of follicular fluid (FF). Incubation with FF from wom...

Answering a question of W. S. Wilson, I introduce a Z/2equivariant Atiyah-Real analogue of Johnson-Wilson cohomology theory BP 〈n〉, whose coefficient ring is the ≤ n-chromatic part of Landweber’s Real cobordism ring. AMS Classification 55P42, 55P91; 55T25

For a radical monomial ideal I in a normal semigroup ring k[Q], there is a unique minimal irreducible resolution 0 → k[Q]/I → W 0 → W 1 → · · · by modules W i of the form ⊕ j k[Fij ], where the Fij are (not necessarily distinct) faces of Q. That is, W i is a direct sum of quotients of k[Q] by prime ideals. This paper characterizes Cohen–Macaulay quotients k[Q]/I as those whose minimal irreducib...
