The aim of this paper is to introduce the notion of cat$^{bf {1}}-$groupoids which are the groupoid version of cat$^{bf {1}}-$groups and to prove the categorical equivalence between crossed modules over groupoids and cat$^{bf {1}}-$groupoids. In section 4 we introduce the notions of crossed squares over groupoids and of cat$^{bf {2}}-$groupoids, and then we show their categories are equivalent....

background: sodium arsenite (naaso2) has potent cytotoxic activity in human cancer cells. oxidative stress has been suggested as a mechanism for arsenic-induced carcinogenesis. the purpose of the present study was to evaluate the alteration of mrna levels of catalase ( cat ) and superoxide dismutase 2 ( sod2 ) in mcf-7 and jurkat cells after exposure to naaso 2 . methods: methylthiazol tetrazol...

trichosanthes kirilowii, an important economic plant in china, is sensitive to chilling. to investigate the effect of abscisic acid (aba) treatment on the chilling tolerance of trichosanthes kirilowii maxim, different concentrations of aba were sprayed on trichosanthes kirilowii leaves and the resulting catalase (cat) and superoxide dismutase (sod) activities and the malondialdehyde (mda) conte...

Current research highlights the Hspb1 based screening of eight cat populations of the world to investigate the association of newly found locus within cat mammary tumors. Total 180 cats were screened on the basis of Hspb1 4 bp deletion locus (1514-1517del4) which was observed in six mammary tumor cases in Siamese cat breed. Case-control association study revealed the non-significance with P=0.2...

Objective: High intensity interval training (HIIT) and continues aerobic training have cardio-protective effects in diabetic rats. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of HIIT and continues aerobic training (CAT) on MIR29A and collagen I gene expression in heart of diabetic male rats. Materials and Methods: In this randomized controlled clinical trial, 18 male diabetic rats were stu...

Catalase (CAT, OMIM: 115500) is an endogenous antioxidant enzyme and genetic variations in the regulatory regions of the CAT gene may alter the CAT enzyme activity and subsequently may alter the risk of oxidative stress related disease. In this study, potential influence(s) of the A-21T (rs7943316) and C-262T (rs1001179) genetic polymorphisms in the CAT promoter region, using the ALGGEN-PROMO.v...

It is shown that a large class of weak disturbances on the Schrödinger cat state can be canceled by a reversing operation on the system. We illustrate this for spin systems undergoing an Ising-type interaction with the environment and demonstrate that both the fidelity to the original cat state and the purity of the amended state can simultaneously be increased by the reversing operation. A pos...
