It has been established that the Y chromosome carries genes required for spermatogenesis and male fertility. For many decades worldwide screening for gene identification has been conducted in research laboratories. However, it has been a difficult process in identifying such genes (i.e. causative mutations) which could explain the phenotypic variation and could be potentially used as markers fo...

In this paper we prove some stochastic comparisons results for progressive type II censored order statistics. The problem of stochastically comparing concomitants of the two progressive type II censored order statistics with possibly different schemes, under different kinds of dependence between X and Y is considered and it is proved that if Y is stochastically increasing (decreasing) in X, ...

Recall that a continuous function $fcolon Xto Y$ between Tychonoff spaces is proper if and only if the Stone extension $f^{beta}colon beta Xtobeta Y$ takes remainder to remainder, in the sense that $f^{beta}[beta X-X]subseteq beta Y-Y$. We introduce the notion of ``taking remainder to remainder" to frames, and, using it, we define a frame homomorphism $hcolon Lto M$ to be $beta$-proper, $lambd...

In this paper. (1) We determine the complex-valued solutions of the following variant of Van Vleck's functional equation $$int_{S}f(sigma(y)xt)dmu(t)-int_{S}f(xyt)dmu(t) = 2f(x)f(y), ;x,yin S,$$ where $S$ is a semigroup, $sigma$ is an involutive morphism of $S$, and $mu$ is a complex measure that is linear combinations of Dirac measures $(delta_{z_{i}})_{iin I}$, such that for all $iin I$, $z_{...

in this paper, we solve the quadratic $alpha$-functional equations $2f(x) + 2f(y) = f(x + y) + alpha^{-2}f(alpha(x-y)); (0.1)$ where $alpha$ is a fixed non-archimedean number with $alpha^{-2}neq 3$. using the fixed point method and the direct method, we prove the hyers-ulam stability of the quadratic $alpha$-functional equation (0.1) in non-archimedean banach spaces.

Let R be a 2-torsion free ring and L a Lie ideal of R. An additive mapping F : R ! R is called a generalized derivation on R if there exists a derivation d : R to R such that F(xy) = F(x)y + xd(y) holds for all x y in R. In the present paper we describe the action of generalized derivations satisfying several conditions on Lie ideals of semiprime rings.
