Recently, V.Ginzburg introduced the notion of a principal nilpotent pair (= pn-pair) in a semisimple Lie algebra g [Gi99]. It is a double counterpart of the notion of a regular nilpotent element in g. A pair e = (e1, e2) ∈ g × g is called nilpotent, if [e1, e2] = 0 and there exists a pair h = (h1, h2) of semisimple elements such that [h1, h2] = 0, [hi, ej ] = δijej (i, j ∈ {1, 2}). A pn-pair e ...

Background We examined the effect of antioxidant supplementation and exercise on irisin within postmenopausal women. Methods Forty-eight participants (age: 55.7 ± 4.9 years; weight: 68.0 ± 6.3 kg; BMI 27.0 ± 2.7; mean ± SD) were randomized into four groups for the eight week intervention: control group (CG; n = 12), resistance training group (RTG; n = 12), supplementation with Zataria multifl...

The regulation of aldosterone synthesis by endogenous nitric oxide (NO) was examined in cultured cells of the adrenal cortex. Endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) was detected by Western blot in cultured adrenal endothelial cells (ECs) but not in zona glomerulosa (ZG) cells or adrenal fibroblasts. Neither inducible (iNOS) nor neuronal NOS (nNOS) isoforms were detected in the cells. Only ECs had NOS a...

Zymogen granule (ZG) formation in acinar cells involves zymogen cargo sorting from trans-Golgi into immature secretory granules (ISGs). ISG maturation progresses by removal of lysosomal membrane and select content proteins, which enter endosomal intermediates prior to their apical exocytosis. Constitutive and stimulated secretion through this mechanism is termed the constitutive-like and minor-...

Two vectors x, y in Zg are qualitatively independent if for all pairs (a, b) ∈ Zg×Zg, there exists i ∈ {1, 2, . . . , n} such that (xi, yi) = (a, b). A covering array on a graph G, denoted by CA(n,G, g), is a |V (G)|×n array on Zg with the property that any two rows which correspond to adjacent vertices in G are qualitatively independent. The number of columns in such array is called its size. ...

THE FEASIBILITY OF TRANSFERRING CLEAN TECHNOLOGY FROM THE UNITED STATES TO CHINA: A CASE STUDY FROM THE PAPER INDUSTRY

We show that U(ZG), the unit group of integral ring ZG, either satisfies Kazhdan's property (T) or is, up to commensurability, a non-trivial amalgamated product, in case G is finite satisfying some mild conditions. A key step proof construction decompositions elementary E2(O), where O an order rational division algebra, and certain arithmetic groups ?. The methods for latter turn out work much ...
