It is shown that almost superdiagonal, polynomially compact operators on the sequence space l(p i) have nontrivial, closed invariant subspaces if the nonlocally convex linear topology τ(p i) is locally bounded. 1. Introduction. The purpose of this paper is to show that almost super-diagonal, polynomially compact operators on the sequence space l(p i) have nontrivial, closed invariant subspaces ...

Purified (rat) hypothalamic growth hormone releasing factor (GRF), native human GRF isolated from an islet cell tumor of the pancreas that had caused acromegaly, and the synthetic replicates of the human material are potent secretagogues of immunoreactive growth hormone (GH) by primary cultures of rat pituitary cells. Native or synthetic peptides give identical dose-response curves, with identi...

BACKGROUND Although gelatin-resorcinol-formaldehyde (GRF) glue is used for surgical repair of acute type A aortic dissections, late complications possibly ascribed to toxic effects of GRF glue have been reported. We analyzed the benefits and risks of using GRF glue. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between January 1990 and August 2003, 269 consecutive patients underwent emergency operations for acute typ...

Growth-regulating factor (GRF) genes play a regulatory role for plant growth and development. The recently available cucumber, melon and watermelon genomes provide an opportunity to conduct a comprehensive overview of the GRF gene family. In the present study, identification and analysis of the GRF gene family was conducted using bioinformatics methods. Totally, 24 potential GRF genes were iden...

We show that the character space of the vector-valued Lipschitz algebra $Lip^{alpha}(X, E)$ of order $alpha$ is homeomorphic to the cartesian product $Xtimes M_E$ in the product topology, where $X$ is a compact metric space and $E$ is a unital commutative Banach algebra. We also characterize the form of each character on $Lip^{alpha}(X, E)$. By appealing to the injective tensor product, we the...

Human growth hormone releasing hormone (GRF 1-44 or GRF 1-29) was administered to lambs at two different physiological stages (suckling: 5-6 week-old and weaned: 14-15 week-old) when growth hormone (GH) secretory patterns were different: suckling lambs exhibited flat basal GH profiles (5-10 ng/ml) while the weaned lambs had frequent spontaneous episodes of GH release (15-65 ng/ml). The iv injec...

Let $(X,d)$ be an infinite compact metric space, let $(B,parallel . parallel)$ be a unital Banach space, and take $alpha in (0,1).$ In this work, at first we define the big and little $alpha$-Lipschitz vector-valued (B-valued) operator algebras, and consider the little $alpha$-lipschitz $B$-valued operator algebra, $lip_{alpha}(X,B)$. Then we characterize its second dual space.

We prove that when Hodge theory survives on non-compact symplectic manifolds, a compact symplectic Lie group action having fixed points is necessarily Hamiltonian, provided the associated almost complex structure preserves the space of harmonic one-forms. For example, this is the case for complete Kähler manifolds for which the symplectic form has an appropriate decay at infinity. This extends ...

Regular almost periodicity in compact minimal abelian flows was characterized for the case of discrete acting group by W. Gottschalk and G. Hedlund and for the case of 0-dimensional phase space by W. Gottschalk a few decades ago. In 1995 J. Egawa gave characterizations for the case when the acting group is R. We extend Egawa’s results to the case of an arbitrary abelian acting group and a not n...
