The NOP receptor (nociceptin/orphanin FQ opioid peptide receptor) is the most recently discovered member of the opioid receptor family and, together with its endogenous ligand, N/OFQ, make up the fourth members of the opioid receptor and opioid peptide family. Because of its more recent discovery, an understanding of the cellular and behavioral actions induced by NOP receptor activation are les...

We determine conditions under which two Hamiltonian torus actions on a symplectic manifold M are homotopic by a family of Hamiltonian torus actions, when M is a toric manifold and when M is a coadjoint orbit. MSC 2000: 53D05, 57S05

We show that volume-preserving perturbations of some product actions of property (T) groups exhibit a “foliation rigidity” property, which reduces the partially hyperbolic action to a family of hyperbolic actions. This is used to show that certain partially hyperbolic actions are locally rigid.

OBJECTIVE Since post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is common after military deployment and affects both military service members and their families, we sought to both improve PTSD-related knowledge of military family members and to foster actions to help service members with their symptoms. METHODS Focus groups were conducted with military family members and their feedback was incorporated...

in this work we deal with actions of vector groupoid which is a new concept in the literature‎. ‎after we give the definition of the action of a vector groupoid on a vector space‎, ‎we obtain some results related to actions of vector groupoids‎. ‎we also apply some characterizations of the category and groupoid theory to vector groupoids‎. ‎as the second part of the work‎, ‎we define the notion...

background: since the family is a social system, the impairment in each of its component members may disrupt the entire family system. one of the stress sources for families is accidents leading to hospitalization particularly in the intensive care unit (icu). in many cases, the families’ needs in patient care are not met that cause dissatisfaction. since the nurses spend a lot of time with pat...
