In [Ja-Sh], Jacquet and Shalika use the spectral theory of Eisenstein series to establish a new result concerning the nonvanishing of L-functions on <(s) = 1. Specifically they show that the standard L-function L(s, π) of an automorphic cusp form π on GLm is nonzero for <(s) = 1. We analyze this method, make it effective and also compare it with the more standard methods. This note is based on ...

background: pulmonary complications of radiation to breast are inevitable, while its incidence and severity are not clear. one of the methods to assess pulmonary complications is spirometry. the influence of radiotherapy on pulmonary function test and the factors affecting it have been assessed in this study. methods: breast cancer patients with stage ii and iii (based on tnm staging), underwen...

the introduction of ex vivo lung perfusion (evlp) in the practice of lung transplantation has allowed the reconditioning of the marginal grafts and their conversion into transplantable grafts. in addition, evlp can provide a platform for the application of various preventive measures to decrease the incidence of post-transplant complications. while the toronto team targets the attenuation of th...

background: the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of leishmania major infection on the induction of oxidative stress in skin and lung of female mice. methods: balb/c mice were randomly divided into the control and experi-mental groups. the experimental groups were subcutaneously infected with in-oculums promastigotes of l. major . the animals were sacrificed at 20, 40, 60, 90 and...
