Introduction: Anxiety is among the most common and treatable mental disorders. Adrenergic and cannabinoid systems have an important role in the neurobiology of anxiety. The elevated plus-maze (EPM) has broadly been used to investigate anxiolytic and anxiogenic compounds. The present study investigated the effects of intraperitoneal (IP) injection of cannabinoid CB1 receptor antagonist (AM251) i...

Let A be a k by n underdetermined matrix The sparse basis problem for the row space W of A is to nd a basis of W with the fewest number of nonzeros Suppose that all the entries of A are nonzero and that they are algebraically independent over the rational number eld Then every nonzero vector in W has at least n k nonzero entries Those vectors in W with exactly n k nonzero entries are the elemen...

While a wealth of statutory and auditing pronouncements attest to the importance of the auditing of journal entries for preventing and detecting material misstatements to financial statements, existing literature has so far paid inadequate attention to this line of research. To explore this line of research further, this paper proposes a bipartite model that is based on extreme value theory and...

The three-dimensional structure of a protein provides crucial information for predicting its function. However, as it is still a far more difficult and costly task to measure 3D coordinates of atoms in a protein than to sequence its amino acid composition, often we do not know the 3D structures of all the proteins at hand. Let us consider a kernel matrix that consists of kernel values represent...

The partitioning and quality of aboveground biomass have important ramifications for crop management and biomass conversion. In preliminary studies, Saccharum sp. Miscanthus sp. hybrids exhibited stubble cold tolerance in west-central Arkansas, unlike Saccharum sp. Saccharum spontaneum hybrids. The objective was to examine foliar and stem quality of the C4 grasses Miscanthus sinensis (‘Gracilli...

The question of how many elements of a real positive stable matrix must be positive is investigated. It is shown that any real stable matrix of order greater than 1 has at least two positive entries. Furthermore, for every stable spectrum of cardinality greater than 1 there exists a real matrix with that spectrum with exactly two positive elements, where all other elements of the matrix can be ...

We show that morphisms from n A∞-algebras to a single one are maps over an operad module with n+ 1 commuting actions of the operad A∞, whose algebras are conventional A∞-algebras. The composition of A∞-morphisms with several entries is presented as a convolution of a coalgebra-like and an algebra-like structures. Under these notions lie two examples of Cat-operads: that of graded modules and of...
