Contractualism was, of course, also an interest of ancient pbilosopbers, particularly tbe Epicureans, wbo believed that "pleasure," dermed as "freedom from anxiety," was t...

On Strongly $H_{v}$-groups

‎The largest class of hyperstructures is the one which satisfies the weak properties; these are called $H_{v}$-structures‎. ‎In this paper we introduce a special product of elements in $H_{v}$-group $H$ and define a new class of $H_{v}$-groups called strongly $H_{v}$-groups‎. ‎Then we show that in strongly $H_{v}$-groups $beta=beta^{ast}$‎. ‎Also we express $theta$-hyperoperation and investigat...

v-Src phosphorylation of connexin 43 on Tyr247 and Tyr265 disrupts gap junctional communication

The mechanism by which v-Src disrupts connexin (Cx)43 intercellular gap junctional communication (GJC) is not clear. In this study, we determined that Tyr247 (Y247) and the previously identified Tyr265 (Y265) site of Cx43 were the primary phosphorylation targets for activated Src in vitro. We established an in vivo experimental system by stably expressing v-Src and wild-type (wt) Cx43, or Y247F...
