The main purpose of this article is to study pro-p groups with quadratic Fp-cohomology algebra, i.e. H•-quadratic groups. Prime examples such are the maximal Galois fields containing a primitive root unity order p. We show that amalgamated free product and HNN-extension H•-quadratic, under certain necessary conditions. Moreover, we introduce investigate new family yields many groups: p-RAAGs. T...

The construction of a designed beta-hairpin structure, containing a central three-residue loop has been successfully achieved in the synthetic nonapeptide Boc-Leu-Phe-Val-(D)Pro-(L)Pro-(D)Ala-Leu-Phe-Val-OMe (2). The design is based on expanding the two-residue loop established in the peptide beta-hairpin Boc-Leu-Phe-Val-(D)Pro-(L)Pro-Leu-Phe-Val-OMe (1). Characterization of the registered beta...

Background and Aim: White spot lesions (WSLs) are common occurrence following orthodontic treatment, this study sought to compare the remineralizing potential of fluoride, MI Paste Plus (CPP-ACP-F) and Remin Pro for treatment of WSLs. Materials and Methods: This in vitro study was conducted on 56 sound human premolars that extracted for orthodontic purposes. Teeth were cleaned and their root...

background: leishmania is a significant health problem in many parts of the world. tumor necrosis factor (tnf) plays an essential role in leishmania major infections. objective: to study the pro-inflammatory cytokines and antioxidants in four groups of cutaneous leishmaniasis patients. methods: 39 patients were divided into four groups of: 1) active (acute phase of treatment); 2) non-healing (r...

Let Γ be a finitely presentable pro-p group such that def(Γ) > 0. If Γ has a nontrivial finitely generated closed normal subgroup N of infinite index then def(Γ) = 1, N is a free pro-p group and Γ/N is virtually free. If π is a finitely presentable group with β (2) 1 (π) = 0 then def(π) ≤ 1, with equality only if c.d.π = 2 or π ∼= Z. (See Theorem 2.5 of [1].) The L-Betti number condition holds ...

Let G be a pro-p group and let k ≥ 1. If γk(p−1)(G) ≤ γr(G) s for some r and s such that k(p − 1) < r + s(p − 1), we prove that the exponent of Ωi(G) is at most pi+k−1 for all i.
