background: the presence of rennin-angiotensin components in mammalian ovaries and their involvement in ovarian physiology have been established. in the present study, effects of angiotensin ii (ang ii) on sodium-potassium adenosine triphosphatase (na+/k+/atpase) expression and development of sheep embryos was evaluated. methods: the abattoir-derived cumulus oocyte complexes (coc) were randomly...

Na+-K+-stimulated adenosine triphosphat s (Na+-K+ATPase) activities were measured in 12 human brain tumors and surrounding tissue (white matter and cortex) by the colorimetric deter mination of hydrolyzed inorganic phosphorus (Pi) from adenosine triphosphate (ATP). In glioma cases, the brain microvessels, filial component, and neurons were isolated fr...

The reaction dynamics of the boron monoxide radical (BO; XΣ) with diacetylene (C4H2; XΣg) were investigated at a nominal collision energy of 17.5 kJ mol−1 employing the crossed molecular beam technique and supported by ab initio and statistical (RRKM) calculations. The reaction is governed by indirect (complex forming) scattering dynamics with the boron monoxide radical adding with its boron at...

OBJECTIVES Assessment of microbial air quality and surface contamination in ambulances and administration offices as a control place without occupational exposure to biological agents; based on quantitative and qualitative analysis of bacteria, yeasts and filamentous fungi found in collected samples. MATERIAL AND METHODS The sampling was done by wet cyclone technology using the Coriolis recon...

Based on the notion of $Q$-sup-lattices (a fuzzy counterpart of complete join-semilattices valuated in a commutative quantale), we present the concept of $Q$-sup-algebras -- $Q$-sup-lattices endowed with a collection of finitary operations compatible with the fuzzy joins. Similarly to the crisp case investigated in cite{zhang-laan}, we characterize their subalgebras and quotients, and following...

Proof. Let us first assume that c > 0. To prove that sup(cA) = c(sup A), we claim that sup(cA) ≤ c(sup A) and sup(cA) ≥ c(sup A). For the first inequality, let a′ ∈ cA be arbitrary. Then a′ = ca for some a ∈ A. But since a ≤ sup A, we have a′ = ca ≤ c(sup A). This shows that c(sup A) is an upper bound of cA, hence we have sup(cA) ≤ c(sup A). The reverse inequality also follows in a similar mann...
