Deformation of 3D shapes usually requires the use of a deformation tool. The freeform deformation technique requires the use of a lattice of control point for deforming an object. This may require a synchronized movement of the lattice control points in order to obtain the desired effects. The axial deformation technique allows an object to be deformed by manipulating an axial curve. However, u...

‎we introduce a generalization of the notion of‎ depth of an ideal on a module by applying the concept of‎ local cohomology modules with respect to a pair‎ ‎of ideals‎. ‎we also introduce the concept of $(i,j)$-cohen--macaulay modules as a generalization of concept of cohen--macaulay modules‎. ‎these kind of modules are different from cohen--macaulay modules‎, as an example shows‎. ‎also an art...

We introduce the notion of a duality pair and demonstrate how the left half of such a pair is “often” covering and preenveloping. As an application, we generalize a result by Enochs et al. on Auslander and Bass classes, and we prove that the class of Gorenstein injective modules—introduced by Enochs and Jenda—is covering when the ground ring has a dualizing complex.

After 41 years it is still not known whether an operator acting on a Banach pair and which acts compactly on one or both of the “endpoint” spaces also acts compactly on the complex interpolation spaces generated by the pair. We report some recent steps towards solving this and related problems.

Alstroemeria L. (Alstroemeriaceae) is an American genus of monocots with two principal distribution centers in Chile and Brazil. In Chile, it is represented by about 32 species, most of them in central Chile, an area known for its high level of endemism. The "complex" Alstroemeriahookeri is endemic to Chile, where it is distributed from the Coquimbo to the Bío-Bío Region. We analyzed the karyot...

A genome-wide quantitative trait loci analysis for blood pressure was performed using 107 male F2 rats derived from Dahl salt-sensitive and Lewis rats. Blood pressure was assessed by telemetry, and >400 microsatellite markers were used for genotyping. Two major quantitative trait loci for blood pressure were identified at chromosome 1 and chromosome 10. The expression levels of 366 transcripts ...

In rats and some inbred mouse strains, one immune response, rapid expulsion, confers up to 95% protection against a challenge infection with Trichinella spiralis. Strain analysis in mice has shown that only three inbred strains, all originating from Swiss-line mice at the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md., express rapid expulsion. Crosses between responder strain mice (NFR/N) and non...

Assume that $(N,L)$, is a pair of finite dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras, in which $L$ is non-abelian and $N$ is an ideal in $L$ and also $mathcal{M}(N,L)$ is the Schur multiplier of the pair $(N,L)$. Motivated by characterization of the pairs $(N,L)$ of finite dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras by their Schur multipliers (Arabyani, et al. 2014) we prove some properties of a pair of nilpoten...

An oligodeoxynucleotide duplex containing the chemotherapeutic agent 5-fluorouracil (FU) has been constructed by solid phase phosphotriester synthesis and has been studied in solution by proton NMR. In this study, we provide the first structural characterization of a DNA complex containing a FU.A base pair. It has been determined that the 7-mer duplex containing a central FU.A base pair adopts ...

the ion-pair association constant values, related to the reaction +  were determined by means of the nmr spectroscopy. the values of the thermodynamic functions of the ion pairing process were calculated on the basis of the nmr results. in addition, the association entropy was found to be dependent on the temperature. comparing the experimental data and the fuoss theory it is found that  ion-pa...
