A matroid or oriented matroid is dyadic if it has a rational representation with all nonzero subde-terminants in ff2 k : k 2 Zg. Our main theorem is that an oriented matroid is dyadic if and only if the underlying matroid is ternary. A consequence of our theorem is the recent result of G. Whittle that a rational matroid is dyadic if and only if it is ternary. Along the way, we establish that ea...

in this paper, we introduce and study the concept of $r$-fuzzy regular semi open (closed) sets in smooth topological spaces. by using $r$-fuzzy regular semi open (closed) sets, we define a new fuzzy closure operator namely $r$-fuzzy regular semi interior (closure) operator. also, we introduce fuzzy regular semi continuous and fuzzy regular semi irresolute mappings. moreover, we investigate the ...

ALESSI, N. E. AND P. QUINLAN. Postnatal development of ACTH and a-MSH in the medulla oblongata of rat: a-MSH i.s the predominant peptide. PE PTIDES 6: Suppl. 2, 137-141, 1985.-ACTH and a-MSH levels were measured by radioimmunoassays in extracts of the caudal medulla oblongata of developing rats on postnatal (P) days 1-42 at 7 day intervals, and in adult rats. From PI to adulthood, ACTH increase...

Notes on Kenneth Brown’s book Cohomology of Groups. 1. Some Homological Algebra 1.1. Review of Chain Complexes. Let R be a ring, and let (C, d) and (C ′, d′) be two chain complexes of left R-modules. Define a complex of abelian groups HR(C,C ′) as follows. Let HR(C,C )n = ∏ q∈Z HomR(Cq, C ′ q+n) and define the boundary map Dn by Dn(f) = d ′f − (−1)fd. 1.5. The Standard Resolution. For any group...

Background. The immunohistochemical detection of aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) and steroid 11β-hydroxylase (CYP11B1) has enabled the identification of aldosterone-producing cell clusters (APCCs) in the subcapsular portion of the human adult adrenal cortex. We hypothesized that adrenals have layered zonation in early postnatal stages and are remodeled to possess APCCs over time. Purposes. To in...

It is well known that plasma levels of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), a steroid hormone secreted by zona reticularis (ZR) of the adrenal cortex, reach the maximal values in the third decade of life and then gradually decline with age. Moreover, the DHEA deficiency is probably responsible for several functional disturbances connected with aging. It was also found that ZR reaches its definitive v...

A method for determination of imidacloprid in water and soil samples, previous hydrolysis in basic medium, followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and selected ion monitoring. A 250-ml sample water was previously heated in basic medium to give a hydrolysis compound of adequate volatility. The hydrolysis product which was extracted and isolated with chlorotorm was identified and found t...
