In this study, internal categories in the category of cat-1 groups, 1-cat, are determined, and it is investigated whether there a natural equivalence between these within crossed modules XMod.

Stepwise degradation of the invariant chain (Ii) is required for the binding of antigenic peptides to MHC class II molecules. Cathepsin (Cat) L in the murine thymus and Cat S in peripheral APCs have both been implicated in the last step of Ii degradation that gives rise to the class II-associated invariant chain peptides (CLIP). Cat V has been recently described as highly homologous to Cat L an...

Cardiac calcified amorphous tumor (CAT) is a rare nonneoplastic cardiac mass composed of calcium deposits in a background of amorphous degenerating fibrin material. Recently, cardiac CAT has gained considerable attention. A MEDLINE search of studies published until April 2017 using the term “cardiac calcified amorphous tumor” resulted in 54 articles, 49 of which were reported in the last 10 yea...

the objective of the present study was to investigate the role of nanocarrier of magnetic isotope of 25-mg2+ (pmc16) in liver toxicity, atp content and oxidative stress due to malathion (mal) exposure. pmc16 nanoparticle were administered in different doses (0.05, 0.1 and 0.2 ld50) intravenously (iv) 40 minutes after a single mal (0.25 ld50= 207 mg/kg) intraperitoneal (ip) injection as a comple...

The problems of sphere theorems in Riemannian geometry have yielded the beautiful results and the fruitful techniques for the study of global geometry (cf. [22]). The main purpose of this paper is to study sphere theorems for CAT(1)-spaces: When are CAT(1)-spaces homeomorphic to the sphere? The notion of CAT(κ)-spaces is introduced by Gromov ([11]) based on Alexandrov’s original notion, i.e., s...

Increasingly, cat (Felis catus) advocates are establishing feeding stations or cat colonies in public parks and often claim that the well-fed cats pose little threat to wildlife populations. This claim was tested on East Bay Regional Park District land east of San Francisco, California during 1995 and 1996. Rodents were livetrapped on 100-trap grids for 8 nights at 9 sites (5 in 1995) in a no c...
