Some classes of bacteria within phyla possess protein sensors identified as homologous to the heme domain soluble guanylate cyclase, mammalian NO-receptor. Named H-NOX (Heme-Nitric Oxide or OXygen-binding),...

This article is divided into two parts. In the first part, we prove some useful theorems on finite topological spaces. In the second part, in order to consider a family of neighborhoods to a point in a space, we extend the notion of finite topological space and define a new topological space, which we call formal topological space. We show the relation between formal topological space struct (F...

Post-focus compression (PFC), the lowering of fundamental frequency and intensity after focus, is previously found in English but not in Cantonese. This study examines the possible transfer of PFC between these two languages through bilingualism. It is found that out of ten bilingual EnglishCantonese speakers, eight have PFC in their English, but none has PFC in their Cantonese. This finding su...

For a nonsymm etri c threshold network equippe d with an asynchronous dynamics, we show that if the product of weights in any cycle of units is nonnegative, then each tr ajectory converges to a stable state with probability one. We also show that such networks have a natural feed-forward layer struc ture and stabilit y is achieved in a hierarchical order due to this struct ure. It follows then ...

the objective of this study was to analyze the association of somatic cell score (scs) with milk, fat and protein yields across parities. records of production traits and somatic cell counts (scc) from first, second and third parity that were collected by the animal breeding center of iran from 1993 to 2010 were used.all animals were grouped into six classes according to scc and production trai...
