Let Fp be the prime field with p elements. We derive the homogeneous weight on the Frobenius matrix ring M2(Fp) in terms of the generating character. We also give a generalization of the Lee weight on the finite chain ring Fp2+uFp2 where u 2 = 0. A non-commutative ring, denoted by Fp2+vpFp2 , vp an involution in M2(Fp), that is isomorphic to M2(Fp) and is a left Fp2vector space, is constructed ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether rs12731181 (A→G) interrupted miR-590-3p-mediated suppression of the prostaglandin F2α receptor (FP) and whether it is associated with essential hypertension in the Chinese population. APPROACH AND RESULTS We found that miR-590-3p regulates human FP gene expression by binding to its 3'-untranslated region. rs12731181 (A→G) altered the binding affinity between m...

We examined the effects of flavopiridol (FP), a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, on doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cell killing in an osteosarcoma cell line (SaOs-2) that lacks functional retinoblastoma protein (pRb). The IC50 value for DOX was 7-fold lower when combined with a low dose (100 nM) FP in pRb-deficient SaOs-2 cells than in the absence of FP. In contrast, the IC50 value for DOX was not...

BACKGROUND One strategy for improving family planning (FP) uptake at the community level is the use of performance-based incentives (PBIs), which offer community distributors financial incentives to recruit more users of FP. This article examines the use of PBIs in community-based FP programmes via a literature search of the peer-reviewed and grey literature conducted in April 2013. RESULTS A...

The goal of the Denver Papillae Protocol is to use a dichotomous key to define and prioritize the characteristics of fungiform papillae (FP) to ensure consistent scoring between scorers. This protocol builds off of a need that has arisen from the last two decades of taste research using FP as a proxy for taste pore density. FP density has historically been analyzed using Miller & Reedy's 1990 c...

1. The systemic effects of inhaled fluticasone propionate (FP), administered via Diskhaler, on the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis were assessed primarily by measuring plasma cortisol at frequent intervals for 20 h after drug administration. 2. FP showed a dose-related suppression of plasma cortisol measured as area under the plasma cortisol vs time curve (AUC 0-20). The cortisol suppr...

Control of goal-directed tasks is putatively carried out via the cinguloopercular (CO) and frontoparietal (FP) systems. However, it remains unclear whether these systems show dissociable moment-to-moment processing during distinct stages of a trial. Here, we characterize dynamics in the CO and FP networks in a meta-analysis of 5 decision-making tasks using fMRI, with a specialized "slow reveal"...

ion level fp-rate fn-rate fp-rate treshold Figure 3.2: The generalization steps when mining fp-safe patterns with Algorithm 1. Blue dots represent maximal patterns, gray dots are infrequent (too generic) patterns, white dots are frequent, but not maximal patterns. Arrows depict the generalization DAG of the seed patterns, where solid ones show the actual search tree and dashed ones the edges th...

Fertility is important to women and men with cancer. While options for fertility preservation (FP) are available, knowledge regarding the medical application of FP is lacking. Therefore we examined FP practices for cancer patients among reproductive endocrinologists (REs). A 36 item survey was sent to board-certified REs. 98% of respondents reported counseling women with cancer about FP options...

INTRODUCTION Fungal peritonitis (FP) is a rare but serious complication in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD), and is associated with higher morbidity, mortality. We aimed to analyze the predisposing factors, etiological agents, outcome and treatment of FP in patients with PD. METHODOLOGY We evaluated retrospectively all PD patients PD center between 2001 and 2011. Sixteen patients ...
