For any group G, πe(G) denotes the set of orders of its elements. If Ω is a non-empty subset of N, h(Ω) stands for the number of isomorphism classes of finite groups G such that πe(G) = Ω. We put h(G) = h(πe(G)). In this paper we show that h(P GL(2, p n)) = 1 or ∞, where p = 2 α 3 β + 1 is a prime, α ≥ 0, β ≥ 0 and n ≥ 1. In particular, we show that h(P GL(2, 7)) = h(P GL(2, 3 2)) = ∞.

Fabry disease is an X-linked glycosphingolipid storage disorder caused by a deficiency in the activity of the lysosomal hydrolase α-galactosidase A (α-gal). This deficiency results in accumulation of the glycosphingolipid globotriaosylceramide (GL-3) in lysosomes. Endothelial cell storage of GL-3 frequently leads to kidney dysfunction, cardiac and cerebrovascular disease. The current treatment ...

The aim of this study was to compare the effect of high (33 degrees C) and normal (33-20 degrees C) rearing temperature on growth and plasma levels of the somatotrophic hormones of 2 genetic lines of broiler chickens selected for 6-wk body weight (GL-line) or for feed conversion between 3 and 6 wk of age (FC-line) or for feed conversion between 3 and 6 wk of age (FC-line). Blood samples were co...

We report the discovery of a widely separated (258&farcs;3+/-0&farcs;4) T dwarf companion to the Gl 570ABC system. This new component, Gl 570D, was initially identified from the Two Micron All-Sky Survey. Its near-infrared spectrum shows the 1.6 and 2.2 µm CH4 absorption bands characteristic of T dwarfs, while its common proper motion with the Gl 570ABC system confirms companionship. Gl 570D (M...

To understand the acclimation strategies of red tilapia to different environments, this study aimed to evaluate different responses of red tilapia (O. mossambicus × O. niloticus) to salinity (10-30‰), alkalinity (1-3 gL-1 NaHCO3) and salinity and alkalinity (10/1-30/3 ‰/gL-1NaHCO3) environments. Localization, type, size, and numeration of gill ionocytes were investigated on the sa...

The association between the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII®), the glycemic index (GI), and the glycemic load (GL) is not known, although it is known that carbohydrates are pro-inflammatory. We aimed to measure the association between the DII and both GI and GL among college students. In this cross-sectional study, 110 college students completed a 3-day food diary, which was used to calculate t...

On restriction to the maximal compact subgroup GL(3, R), an unramified principal series representation of the p-adic group GL(3, F ) decomposes into a direct sum of finite-dimensional irreducibles each appearing with finite multiplicity. We describe a coarser decomposition into components which, although reducible in general, capture the equivalences between the irreducible constituents.

OBJETIVE To study the association between the metabolic syndrome (MS) and the glycemic load (GL) of food intake among obese children and adolescents seen in consultation by the endocrinology team in a pediatric referral hospital in Lima, Peru. POPULATION AND METHOD Cross-sectional study among obese children and adolescents (body mass index ≥ 95 percentile), 10-15 years old. The MS was classif...
