The three invariants of C are key to expressing this tensor and its inverse as a polynomial in C. Simple and symmetric expressions are presented connecting the two sets of invariants {I1, I2, I3} and {i1, i2, i3} of C and C, respectively. The first result is a bivariate function relating I1, I2 to i1, i2. The functional form of i1 is the same as that of i2 when the roles of the C-invariants are...

A macroscopic approximation of RNA secondary structure (Vialette, CPM 2002): • a subsequence of consecutive bases → an interval • a stacked pairing of two disjoint subsequences → a 2interval Three Binary Relations For two 2-intervals D1 = (I1, J1) and D2 = (I2, J2), D1 and D2 are disjoint if the four intervals I1, J1, I2, and J2 are pairwise disjoint. Preceding: D1 < D2 ⇐⇒ I1 < J1 < I2 < J2. Ne...

Objective: This updated systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess maternal fetal outcomes of pregnancies based on the Institute Medicine (IOM) guidelines gestational weight gain (GWG).&#x0D; Methods: PubMED, SCOPUS, EMBASE Web Science were searched up 30th July 2022. All studies evaluating and/or neonatal twin IOM included.&#x0D; Results: Twenty two included. Mothers with experiencing...

The formation of neutral I2 by the photodissociation of the methyl iodide dimer, (CH3I)2, excited within the A band at 249.5 nm is evaluated using velocity map imaging. In previous work [J. Chem. Phys. 122, 204301 (2005)], we showed that the formation of I2+ from photodissociation of the methyl iodide dimer takes place via ionic channels (through the formation of (CH3I)2+). It is thus not possi...

Humanity is facing a vast prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases, with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) being the most dominant, without efficacious drugs, and only few therapeutic targets identified. In this scenario, we aim to find molecular entities that modulate imidazoline I2 receptors (I2-IRs) have been pointed out as relevant in AD. work, explored structural modifications well-established I2-I...

in order to evaluate the effects of drought stress and planting method on some physiological and biochemical characteristics of two chickpea cultivars (cicer arietinum l.) an experiment was conducted at the research station of college of agriculture, shiraz university using a split factorial based on randomized complete block design in four replications. the main factor was stopping irrigation ...

Introducing multi-resonator microstructure into phononic metamaterials provides more flexibility in bandgap manipulation. In this work, 3D-acoustic of the body- and face-centered cubic lattice systems encompassing nodal isotropic multivibrators are investigated. Our main results are: (1) number bandgaps equals number, n, internal masses as each is a result classical analog quantum level-repulsi...

Abstract Background Sacubitril/valsartan (S/V) may have beneficial effects on renal outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF) receiving angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) or angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB). Purpose To systematically evaluate the of sacubitril/valsartan function adults HF. Methods Five databases were searched for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) compari...

This review aims to evaluate the performance of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) screening questionnaires during pregnancy. A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed using MEDLINE Scopus, CINAHL, and the Cochrane library. A bivariate meta-analysis was applied for pooling of diagnostic parameters. Six of the total 4719 articles met the inclusion criteria. The Berlin questionnaire (BQ, N =...

Bordetella pertussis toxin (PTx), also known as islet-activating protein, induces insulin secretion by ADP-ribosylation of inhibitory G proteins. PTx-induced insulin secretion may result either from inactivation of Gα(o) proteins or from combined inactivation of Gα(o), Gα(i1), Gα(i2), and Gα(i3) isoforms. However, the specific role of Gα(i2) in pancreatic β-cells still remains unknown. In globa...
