we need sociology theories, for that understand of sociology and politic problems. french sociologist pierre bourdieu's theory practice and symbolic power are our best resource; for understanding social and political fields. this article reviews the language and symbolic power; indicating its function in social and political fields. we need sociology theories, for that understand of sociol...

S-nitrosylation is a post-translational modification on cysteine(s) that can regulate protein function, and pannexin 1 (Panx1) channels are present in the vasculature, a tissue rich in nitric oxide (NO) species. Therefore, we investigated whether Panx1 can be S-nitrosylated and whether this modification can affect channel activity. Using the biotin switch assay, we found that application of the...

A competitive coevolutionary approach using loosely coupled genetic algorithms is applied to the distributed optimization of the Rosenbrock's function. The computational scheme is a coevolu-tionary system of agents with only local interactions among them, without any central synchronization. We show that the distributed optimization algorithm implemented in the new coordination language Manifol...

The function(s) of sleep would probably be better understood if the metabolic processes taking place within the central nervous system (CNS) during sleep were known in greater detail. The general pattern of the energy requirements of the brain during sleep is now outlined. Brain energy metabolism dramatically decreases during slow wave sleep (SWS) whereas, during rapid eye movement sleep (REMS)...

A graph G(V,E) with vertex set V is said to have a prime labeling if there exist a bijection f : V (G) → {1, 2, . . . , |V |} such that for each edge xy ∈ E(G), f(x) and f(y) are relatively prime. It becomes an interesting problem to investigate the maximum possible edges that can be constructed in a graph with n vertices having prime labeling property. We interpret this problem in number theor...

We determine the structure of the homology of the BeckerSchultz space SGiS1) ~ Q(CP^° AS1) of stable Sx-equivariant self-maps of spheres (with standard free S1 -action) as a Hopf algebra over the DyerLashof algebra. We use this to compute the homology of BSGiS1). Along the way, we give a fresh account of the partially framed transfer construction and the Becker-Schultz homotopy equivalence. We ...

The series is convergent when s is a complex number with <(s) > 1. Some special values of ζ(s) are well known, for example the values ζ(2) = π/6, ζ(4) = π/90, were obtained by Euler. In 1859, Riemann had the idea to define ζ(s) for all complex number s by analytic continuation. This continuation is very important in number theory and plays a central role in the study of the distribution of prim...

In this paper, we show that for any finite order entire function $f(z)$, the function of the form $f(z)^{n}[f(z+c)-f(z)]^{s}$ has no nonzero finite Picard exceptional value for all nonnegative integers $n, s$ satisfying $ngeq 3$, which can be viewed as a different result on Hayman conjecture. We also obtain some uniqueness theorems for difference polynomials of entire functions sharing one comm...
