Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality around the world and has both genetic and environmental precipitants. Genetic factors are significant in determining the level of risk factors in individuals. Variants in ZFHX3 gene are associated with atrial fibrillation in individuals of European ancestry. The aim of this study was to analyze the polymorphisms in the c...

Let $G$ be a monoid with identity $e$. In this paper, first we introduce the notions of $G$-graded hyperrings, graded hyperideals and graded hyperfields in the sense of Krasner hyperring $R$. Also, we define the notion of a greded $R$-hypermodules and some examples are presented. Then we investigate graded maximal, graded prime and graded primary hyperideals of a graded hyperring $R$. Finally, ...

Grounded cognition offers a natural framework for studying categories that lie at the interface of and action. From this perspective, emerges from coupling brain, modalities, body, environment. Situated action, in particular, links these domains together, as perceived entities events world (e.g., hedonic stimuli, social agents) trigger self-relevant responses goals, values, identities, norms), ...

A comprehensive study of the photoluminescence dynamics in newly developed CdSe/ZnS quantum dots with alloyed core/shell interfaces is presented. Time-correlated single photon counting is used to measure the decay of exciton luminescence from both the ensemble and individual quantum dots. For decreasing emission wavelength (i.e., for smaller dots), the ensemble data reveal increasing total deca...

We demonstrate spatially controlled photoreactions within bicompartmental microparticles and microfibers. Selective photoreactions are achieved by anisotropic incorporation of photocrosslinkable poly(vinyl cinnamate) in one compartment of either colloids or microfibers. Prior to photoreaction, bicompartmental particles, and fibers were prepared by EHD co-jetting of two compositionally distinct ...

Soft materials that can undergo mechanical actuation in response to external stimuli, such as changes in temperature, light, pH value, or ionic strength, have attracted increasing attention because of their potential use as thinfilm actuators, smart sutures, and soft robots. These materials typically require specialty polymers, such as shape-memory polymers or use macroscopically layered films....

Let $G$ be a group with identity $e$ and $R$ be a commutative $G$-graded ring with nonzero unity $1$. In this article, we introduce the concept of graded $r$-ideals. A proper graded ideal $P$ of a graded ring $R$ is said to be graded $r$-ideal if whenever $a, bin h(R)$ such that $abin P$ and $Ann(a)={0}$, then $bin P$. We study and investigate the behavior of graded $r$-ideals to introduce ...

Abstract One of the main requirements in design structures made functionally graded materials is their best response when used an actual environment. This optimum behaviour may be achieved by searching for optimal variation mechanical and physical properties along which material compositionally grades. In works available literature, solution such optimization problem usually obtained values so ...

Major element compositions of glass inclusions in olivine and plagioclase phenocrysts from representative Mariana arc lavas show that mafic Mariana arc liquids are tholeiitic and not high-alumina, implying that the high-alumina characteristic of these lavas reflects accumulation of plagioclase. Glass inclusions also show the common occurrence of felsic melts previously unrecognized among Marian...
