The long time behavior of the random map xn → xn+1 = |xn − θn| is studied under various assumptions on the distribution of the θn. One of the interesting features of this random dynamical system is that for a single fixed deterministic θ the map is not a contraction, while the composition is almost surely a contraction if θ is chosen randomly with only mild assumptions on the distribution of th...

1. The contractile response to nitric oxide (NO) in ral ileal myenteric plexus-longitudinal muscle strips was pharmacologically analysed. 2. NO (10(-7) M) induced only contraction while 10(-6) M NO induced contraction followed by relaxation. Methylene blue (up to 10(-4) M) did not affect the NO-induced contractions but significantly reduced the relaxation evoked by 10(-6) M NO. Administration o...

AIMS The study proposes Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI) assessment of the masseter muscle elasticity in the healthy population and in patients who have undergone head and neck radiation therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-five healthy controls constituted group A, and 13 patients who had underwent radiotherapy (35Gy minimum) formed group B. ARFI was performed bilaterally in the perip...

We characterize the structure of a seven-dimensional Lie algebra with non-trivial center endowed closed G$_2$-structure. Using this result, we classify all unimodular algebras admitting G$_2$-structures, up to isomorphism, and show that six them arise as contactization symplectic algebra. Finally, prove every semi-algebraic soliton on must be expanding, determine dimension at least two admit so...

A recent nonlinear alternative for contraction maps in Fréchet spaces due to Frigon and Granas is used to investigate the existence and uniqueness of solutions to first-order boundary value problems for impulsive functional differential equations with infinite delay. An example to illustrate the results is included.

We prove that the de Rham $ L^{\phi} -cohomology of a Riemannian manifold M admitting convenient triangulation X is isomorphic to simplicial \ell^{\phi} under some assumptions on Young function \phi . This result implies quasi-isometry invariance first cohomology.

It is known that muscle temperature (T(m)) increases with exercise. The purpose of this study was to examine if contraction-induced increase in T(m) was altered in rats with heart failure (HF) induced by chronic myocardial infraction (MI) as compared with healthy control animals. A temperature probe was inserted in the triceps surae muscle to continuously measure T(m) throughout experiments. St...

this paper presents a method for generating a digital management map to apply cyanazine pre-emergence herbicide. the main objective was to develop a precision method to generate management maps for the variable rate application of herbicide to reduce the amount of herbicide applied and its adverse impact on the environment. first, local and utm coordinates of a field were determined using total...

First published February 13, 2015; doi:10.1152/ajpheart.00867.2014.—Young adults with a family history of hypertension ( FH) have increased risk of developing hypertension. Furthermore, the blood pressure (BP) response to sympatho...
