For simplicity, we adopt the following rules: x denotes a set, n, m, k denote natural numbers, r denotes a real number, V denotes a real linear space, v, w denote vectors of V , A1 denotes a finite subset of V , and A2 denotes a finite affinely independent subset of V . One can prove the following propositions: (1) For all real-valued finite sequences f1, f2 and for every real number r holds (I...

Changes in DNA methylation may play a role in the genetic mechanism underlying glucose intolerance in the offspring of mothers with diabetes. Here, we established a rat model of moderate intrauterine hyperglycemia induced by streptozotocin to detect glucose and lipid metabolism of first-generation (F1) and second-generation (F2) offspring. Moderate intrauterine hyperglycemia induced high body w...

In classical fixed point and coincidence theory the notion of Nielsen numbers has proved to be extremely fruitful. Here we extend it to pairs (f1, f2) of maps between manifolds of arbitrary dimensions. This leads to estimates of the minimum numbers MCC(f1, f2) (and MC(f1, f2), resp.) of pathcomponents (and of points, resp.) in the coincidence sets of those pairs of maps which are homotopic to (...

Male (NZW x BXSB) F1 (W/B F1) mice, which develop lupus nephritis, myocardial infarction, and thrombocytopenia, showed reduced platelet lifespan (PLS) and increased platelet-associated antibody (PAA) values. There were statistically significant correlations between the increase in PAA values and either the reduction in PLS or the decrease in platelet counts. This and the results of platelet tra...

In this paper we deal with a particular class of rank two vector bundles (\emph{instanton} bundles) on the Fano threefold index one $F:=\mathbb{F}_1 \times \mathbb{P}^1$. We show that every instanton bundle $F$ can be described as cohomology monad whose terms are free sheaves. Furthermore prove existence for any admissible second Chern and construct nice component moduli space where they sit. F...

AKR mice, which produce high titers of ecotropic virus, were crossed with NZB mice, which produce titers of xenotropic virus. Spleen, marrow, and lymph node cells of the F1 hybrid produced high titers of ecotropic and xenotropic viruses. However, expression of ecotropic virus by both thymus cells and peripheral T cells of the F1 was severely restricted. Despite simultaneous expression of ecotor...

F1-ATPase is a rotary motor protein driven by ATP hydrolysis. The rotary motion of F1-ATPase is tightly coupled to catalysis, in which the catalytic sites strictly obey the reaction sequences at the resolution of elementary reaction steps. This fine coordination of the reaction scheme is thought to be important to achieve extremely high chemomechanical coupling efficiency and reversibility, whi...

The implications of the f1(1285) − f1(1420) mixing for the K1(3P1) − K1(1P1) mixing angle is investigated. Based on the f1(1285)− f1(1420) mixing angle ∼ 50 suggested from the analysis for a substantial body of data concerning the f1(1420) and f1(1285), the masses of the K1( 3P1) and K1( 1P1) are determined to be ∼ 1307.35± 0.63 MeV and 1370.03± 9.69 MeV, respectively, which therefore suggests ...

Let k be an arbitrary field, and C be a curve in A defined parametrically by x1 = f1(t), . . . , xn = fn(t), where f1, . . . , fn ∈ k[t]. A necessary and sufficient condition for the two function fields k(t) and k(f1, . . . , fn) to be same is developed in terms of zero-dimensionality of a derived ideal in the bivariate polynomial ring k[s, t]. Since zerodimensionality of such an ideal can be r...
