‎let $mathcal{a}$ be a unital banach algebra‎, ‎$mathcal{m}$ be a left $mathcal{a}$-module‎, ‎and $w$ in $mathcal{z}(mathcal{a})$ be a left separating point of $mathcal{m}$‎. ‎we show that if $mathcal{m}$ is a unital left $mathcal{a}$-module and $delta$ is a linear mapping from $mathcal{a}$ into $mathcal{m}$‎, ‎then the following four conditions are equivalent‎: ‎(i) $delta$ is a jordan left de...

results 12 (14.8%) patients had positive results for both hdv rna and anti-hdv. the mean alt level was higher in hdv positive patients (75.9 u/ml) than hbv-mono-infected individuals; however, the mean hbv viral load was lower in coinfected patients than hbv-mono-infected patients. phylogenetically, genotype i was the only detected genotype, and the most closely related isolates were of turkish,...

Let $G=(V,E)$, $V={1,2,ldots,n}$, $E={e_1,e_2,ldots,e_m}$,be a simple connected graph, with sequence of vertex degrees$Delta =d_1geq d_2geqcdotsgeq d_n=delta >0$ and Laplacian eigenvalues$mu_1geq mu_2geqcdotsgeqmu_{n-1}>mu_n=0$. Denote by $Kf(G)=nsum_{i=1}^{n-1}frac{1}{mu_i}$ and $t=t(G)=frac 1n prod_{i=1}^{n-1} mu_i$ the Kirchhoff index and number of spanning tree...

let $alpha$ be an endomorphism and $delta$ an $alpha$-derivationof a ring $r$.  in this paper we  study the relationship between an$r$-module $m_r$ and the  general polynomial module  $m[x]$ over theskew polynomial ring $r[x;alpha,delta]$. we introduce the notionsof skew-armendariz modules and skew quasi-armendariz modules whichare generalizations of $alpha$-armendariz modules and extend thecla...

In this paper a new class of sets called  regular generalized  $delta$-closed set (briefly rg$delta$-closed set)is introduced and its properties are studied. Several examples are provided to illustrate the behaviour of these new class of sets.

background: hepatitis delta virus (hdv) is a subviral human pathogen that exploits host rna editing activity to produce two essential forms of the sole viral protein, hepatitis delta antigen (hdag). editing at the amber/w site of hdv antigenomic rna leads to the production of the large form (l-hdag), which is required for rna packaging. methods: in this study, pcr-based site-directed mutagenesi...

results the mean age of chb patients was 38.5± 11.9 years and 55.9% of them (231 patients) were male. there were 13 cases (3.1%) with hdv infection. there was no association between positive anti-hdv serology and factors such as age, gender, carrier state, liver enzymes, and positive hepatitis b e antigen (hbeag) serology. conclusions although hdv had a low prevalence in our area, it is importa...

patients and methods 720 cases including 120 patients undergoing hemodialysis, and 600 patients with hiv infection were studied. all cases with positive results for hbsag were evaluated for the presence of anti-hdv antibodies. samples with anti-hdv positive results were subjected to nested pcr for hdv-rna confirmation, and sequenced for hdv genotype determination. results hbsag was found in 9 (...

ABSTRACTThis study examined information flow on minisett technology among yam farmers in Delta State, Nigeria. A sample size of 180 respondents was involved in the study. Data were obtained from respondents of the study through the use of a validated interview schedule. Percentage, frequency count and mean scores were used to summarize data, while line diagrams were used to develop maps of info...
