the Shimura subgroup Σp of Jo(p), viewed as a subgroup of Jo(p) 2 via the antidiagonal embedding x 7→ (x,−x). Thus we have A = Jo(p)/Σp and, analogously, B = Jo(q) /Σq. Since A and B are known, we consider that to understand A + B is to understand A ∩ B, which is a finite abelian group. The main purpose of this note is to identify A ∩B, up to groups of 2-power order. In other words, we identify...

Integrals involving the functions log (2 sinh(0/2)) and log(2sin(0/2)) are studied, particularly their relationship to the values of the Riemann zeta function at integral arguments. For example general formulae are proved which contain the known results Γ log 2 (2sin(0/2))d0 = 7π 3 /108, Jo Γ 01og 2 (2sin(0/2))d0 = 17τr 4 /6480, Jo / (log 4 (2sin(0/2))-^0 2 log 2 (2sin(0/2)))d0 = 253π 5 /3240, ...

the anthocyanins of the fruit skin of iranian forest pear (sange khouj) were separated, identified and quantified using high-performance liquid chromatography/diode array detection (hplc/dad) and hplc/electrospray ionization /mass spectrometry (hplc/esi /ms). the individual anthocyanins were identified by comparing their mass spectral data and retention times with those of standards and publish...

Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies can be classified as polymyositis, dermatomyositis, immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy, sporadic inclusion body myositis or non-specific myositis. Anti-Jo-1 antibody-positive patients are assigned to either polymyositis or dermatomyositis suggesting overlapping pathological features. We aimed to determine if anti-Jo-1 antibody-positive myopathy has a specifi...

Honey bee foragers use a "waggle dance" to inform nestmates about direction and distance to locations of attractive food. The sound and air flows generated by dancer's wing and abdominal vibrations have been implicated as important cues, but the decoding mechanisms for these dance messages are poorly understood. To understand the neural mechanisms of honey bee dance communication, we analyzed t...

The efficacy of monoclonal antibodies (mAb) used to treat solid tumors is limited by intercellular junctions which tightly link epithelial tumor cells to each another. In this study, we define a small, recombinant adenovirus serotype 3-derived protein, termed junction opener 1 (JO-1), which binds to the epithelial junction protein desmoglein 2 (DSG2). In mouse xenograft models employing Her2/ne...

The use of stochastic formalisms, such as Stochastic Automata Networks (SAN), can be very useful for statistical prediction and behavior analysis. Once well fitted, such formalisms can generate probabilities about a target reality. These probabilities can be seen as a statistical approach of knowledge discovery. However, the building process of models for real world problems is time consuming e...

The anthocyanins of the fruit skin of Iranian forest pear (Sange Khouj) were separated, identified and quantified using high-performance liquid chromatography/diode array detection (HPLC/DAD) and HPLC/electrospray ionization /mass spectrometry (HPLC/ESI /MS). The individual anthocyanins were identified by comparing their mass spectral data and retention times with those of standards and publish...

This study aimed to explore and validate a new juvenile osteopenic (JO) rat model then examine the efficacy of moghat (Glossostemon bruguieri) as an alternative reversal therapy for JO. Phytochemical screening analysis showed that moghat contains 5.8% alkaloids, 1.5% flavonoids and 13.2% total phenols. Juvenile osteopenia was induced in 15 days old Sprague- Dawley female rats by feeding them fr...
