Given a combinatorial designD with block set B, its traditional block-intersection graph GD is the graph having vertex set B such that two vertices b1 and b2 are adjacent if and only if b1 and b2 have non-empty intersection. In this paper we consider the S-block-intersection graph, in which two vertices b1 and b2 are adjacent if and only if |b1 ∩ b2| ∈ S. As our main result we prove that {1, 2,...

Global solvability of the problem (1),(2) was studied rather thoroughly (see, e.g., [1– 9] and the literature quoted therein). In the present paper new sufficient conditions of existence and nonexistence of so called blow-up solutions to the problem (1),(2) are given. To formulate the main results, we need to introduce the following notation and definitions. z = (zi) n i=1 ∈ R n is a vector wit...

Draude, Georg, and Reinhard L. Lorenz. TGF-b1 downregulates CD36 and scavenger receptor A but upregulates LOX-1 in human macrophages. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 278: H1042–H1048, 2000.—Transforming growth factor-b1 (TGF-b1), a key cytokine for control of cell growth, extracellular matrix formation, and inflammation control, is secreted by many cells present in the arteriosclerotic plaque. ...

ions. Following SLAM, abstractions are represented by Boolean Programs. Unlike SLAM, the semantics of these programs is given via a variant of Mixed Transition Systems (MixTS) [7, 11]. Compared to Modal and 3-valued TSs, MixTSs allow for (a) 1: 2: 3: 4: 5: 6: 7: 8: 9: 10: 11: 12: 13: 14: 15: 16: 17: int p1,p2,p3,x,y; p1=p2=p3=x=y=5; if(p3<=0) return; if(y<0) {if(x>2){ if(y>10) {if(p2>0) ERROR;}...

Introduction: B1 mapping is important in a variety of new MR applications, including the design of RF pulses in parallel transmit systems and flip angle calibration for T1 mapping. The Bloch-Siegert (BS) B1 mapping method has been recently introduced as a fast, accurate and robust technique for B1 mapping [1]. In order to compare the quality of B1 maps acquired with the BS method to other metho...

Introduction: B1 mapping has a variety of applications including the design of RF pulses in parallel transmit systems, and flip angle calibration for T1 mapping. Many existing B1 mapping methods suffer from T1 dependence, long scan time or inability to handle the large B1 inhomogeneity that occurs even across the human brain at 7T. The Bloch-Siegert B1 mapping method has been recently introduce...

Claudin-l and cyclin B1 are abnormally expressed in certain malignancies, but their expression in hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HSCC) has not been reported thus far. Studying the expression levels of claudin-1 and cylin B1 in HSCC tissues and their association with clinical stage, pathological grade and prognosis in patients with HSCC may provide a theoretical basis and guide future r...

NF-kappa B is an important transcription factor required for T cell proliferation and other immunological functions. The NF-kappa B1 gene encodes a 105-kD protein that is the precursor of the p50 component of NF-kappa B. Previously, we and others have demonstrated that NF-kappa B regulates the NF-kappa B1 gene. In this manuscript we have investigated the molecular mechanisms by which T cell lin...
