let a be a banach algebra and e be a banach a-bimodule then s = a  e, the l1-direct sum of a and e becomes a module extension banach algebra when equipped with the algebras product (a; x):(a′; x′) = (aa′; a:x′ + x:a′). in this paper, we investigate △-amenability for these banach algebras and we show that for discrete inverse semigroup s with the set of idempotents es, the module extension bana...

Obesity is an epidemic matter increasing risk for cardiovascular diseases and metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes. We recently examined the association between visceral fat adiposity and gene expression profile of peripheral blood cells in human subjects. In a series of studies, Opa (Neisseria gonorrhoeae opacity-associated)-interacting protein 5 (OIP5) was nominated as a molecule of un...

Using high-throughput sequencing, we devised a technique to determine the insertion sites of virtually all members of the human-specific L1 retrotransposon family in any human genome. Using diagnostic nucleotides, we were able to locate the approximately 800 L1Hs copies corresponding specifically to the pre-Ta, Ta-0, and Ta-1 L1Hs subfamilies, with over 90% of sequenced reads corresponding to h...

this empirical study reports on a cross-linguistic analysis of the overarching issue of l1 lexicalization regarding two (non)-interventionist approaches to vocabulary teaching. participants were seventy four juniors at the islamic azad university, roudehen branch in tehran. the investigation pursued (i) the impact of the provided (non)-interventionist treatments on both sets of (non)-lexicalize...

This study investigated whether individuals with small and large native-language (L1) vowel inventories learn second-language (L2) vowel systems differently, in order to better understand how L1 categories interfere with new vowel learning. Listener groups whose L1 was Spanish (5 vowels) or German (18 vowels) were given five sessions of high-variability auditory training for English vowels, aft...

L1 (also referred to as the 1-norm or Lasso) penalty based formulations have been shown to be effective in problem domains when noisy features are present. However, the L1 penalty does not give favorable asymptotic properties with respect to feature selection, and has been shown to be inconsistent as a feature selection estimator; e.g. when noisy features are correlated with the relevant featur...

This study explores the effect of categorically different pre-reading activities in learners’ L1 on reading comprehension and learning focus-on-vocabulary. The participants were sixty Turkish EFL learners attending a state high school, data was gathered from their achievement test scores. analyzed through one-way multivariate analysis variance (MANOVA), t-test statistical procedures implemented...

In this paper, we nd the relationships between module contractibility of aBanach algebra and its ideals. We also prove that module contractibility ofa Banach algebra is equivalent to module contractibility of its module uniti-zation. Finally, we show that when a maximal group homomorphic image ofan inverse semigroup S with the set of idempotents E is nite, the moduleprojective tensor product l1...

INTRODUCTION Randomized controlled trials of platinum-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) for bladder cancer have shown that patients who achieve a pathologic response to NAC exhibit 5 y survival rates of approximately 80-90% while NAC resistant (NR) cases exhibit 5 y survival rates of approximately 30-40%. These findings highlight the need to predict who will benefit from conventional NAC and...
