For a ring endomorphism α and an α-derivation δ, we introduce α-compatible ideals which are a generalization of α-rigid ideals and study the connections of the prime radical and the upper nil radical of R with the prime radical and the upper nil radical of the Ore extension R[x;α, δ] and the skew power series R[[x;α]]. As a consequence we obtain a generalization of Hong, Kwak and Rizvi, 2005.

Orientable 4-dimensional infrasolvmanifolds bound orientably. We show that every non-orientable 4-dimensional infrasolvmanifold M with β = β1(M ;Q) > 0 or with geometry Nil 4 or Sol3×E1 bounds. However there are Sol 1 -manifolds which are not boundaries. The question remains open for Nil × E-manifolds. Any possible counter-examples have severely constrained fundamental groups. We also find simp...

The analysis of how a stochastic background of gravitational radiation interacts with a spherical detector is given in detail, which leads to explicit expressions for the system response functions, as well as for the cross-correlation matrix of different readout channels. It is shown that distinctive features of GW induced random detector excitations, relative to locally generated noise, are in...

A near-isogenic line (NIL-7A-B-2), introgressed with a quantitative trait locus (QTL) on chromosome 7AS from wild emmer wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccoides) into the background of bread wheat (T. aestivum L.) cv. BarNir, was recently developed and studied in our lab. NIL-7A-B-2 exhibited better productivity and photosynthetic capacity than its recurrent parent across a range of environmen...

We examined the efficacy and mechanism of action of N(6)-(1-iminoethyl)-L-lysine (L-NIL), a highly selective inhibitor of inducible nitric oxide (NO) synthase (iNOS), on acute cardiac transplant rejection. L-NIL produced a concentration-dependent attenuation of plasma NO by-products and a decrease in nitrosylation of heme protein without altering protein levels of iNOS. At postoperative day 4, ...

following were miscarriages, and the last an abortion in December last. First attack of epilepsy occurred in the third month of the first pregnancy ; the last, two days before admission. The fits occur during the night; of this the patient does not retain recollection the following morning. The patient was under treatment from 22nd September to 22nd November, during which period 11 observations...

Although an extensive number of publications have been reported on nanoimprint lithography (NIL) techniques, the ability of NIL for three-dimensional (3-D) patterning has not been fully addressed in terms of the mold fabrication and imprint processes. Developing technologies for patterning 3-D and multilevel features are important because they eliminate multiple steps and complex interlevel ali...

We introduce the notion of clean ideal, which is a natural generalization of clean rings. It is shown that every matrix ideal over a clean ideal of a ring is clean. Also we prove that every ideal having stable range one of a regular ring is clean. These generalize the corresponding results for clean rings. 1. Introduction. Let R be a unital ring. We say that R is a clean ring in case every elem...

Semi-dwarfing genes have contributed to enhanced lodging resistance, resulting in increased crop productivity. In the history of grain sorghum breeding, the spontaneous mutation, dw1 found in Memphis in 1905, was the first widely used semi-dwarfing gene. Here, we report the identification and characterization of Dw1. We performed quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis and cloning, and revealed...

A rice introgression line, NIL-SS1, and its recurrent parent, Teqing, were used to investigate the influence of the introgression segment on plant growth. The current research showed NIL-SS1 had an increased flag leaf width, total leaf area, spikelet number per panicle and grain yield, but a decreased photosynthetic rate. The metabolite differences in NIL-SS1 and Teqing at different development...
