We prove that an infinite irreducible Coxeter group cannot be a non-trivial direct product. Let W be a Coxeter group, and write W = W1 × · · · ×Wp ×Wp+1, where W1, . . . ,Wp are infinite irreducible Coxeter groups, and Wp+1 is a finite one. As an application of the main result, we obtain that W1, . . . ,Wp are unique and Wp+1 is unique up to isomorphism. That is, if W = W̃1 × · · · × W̃q × W̃q+1 i...

Let G be a complex, connected, reductive algebraic group. In this paper we show analogues of the computations by Borho and MacPherson of the invariants and antiinvariants of the cohomology of the Springer fibres of the cone of nilpotent elements, N , of Lie(G) for the Steinberg variety Z of triples. Using a general specialization argument we show that for a parabolic subgroup WP ×WQ of W × W th...

Background: The lateral wall press (WP) exercise is one of the weight-bearing exercises used in gluteal muscle strengthening programs. However, little is known about the muscle activity level of the gluteus maximus (Gmax) on the weight-bearing side during the lateral WP exercise. The primary actions of the Gmax are hip extension and hip external rotation. In addition, the superior area of the G...

Water-pipe (WP) smoking is on rise worldwide for the past few years, particularly among younger individuals. Growing evidence indicates that WP smoking is as harmful as cigarette smoking. To date, most of the research has focused on acute health effects of WP smoking, and evidence remains limited when it comes to chronic health effects in relation to long-term WP smoking. Therefore, the aim of ...

Water-pipe (WP) smoking has significantly increased in the last decade worldwide. Compelling evidence suggests that the toxicants in WP smoke are similar to that of cigarette smoke. The WP smoking in a single session could have acute harmful health effects even worse than cigarette smoking. However, there is no evidence as such on long term WP smoking and its impact on chronic health conditions...

Tumor cells acquire metastasis-associated (MA) phenotypes following genetic alterations in them which cause deregulation of different signaling pathways. Earlier, we reported that an upregulation of the Wnt-beta-catenin pathway (WP) is one of the genetic salient features of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), and WP signaling is associated with metastasis in TNBC. Using cBioPortal, here we fo...
