In smooth muscle, large-conductance Ca(2+)- and voltage-activated K(+) channels from the gene KCNMA (maxi-K channels) generate isoforms with disparate responses to contractile stimuli. We previously showed that the human myometrium expresses high levels of the splice variant of the maxi-K channel containing a 44-amino acid insertion (mK44). The studies presented here demonstrate that nardilysin...

This paper provides an axiomatic characterization of two rules for comparing alternative sets of objects on the basis of the diversity that they offer. The framework considered assumes a finite universe of objects and an a priori given ordinal quadernary relation that compares alternative pairs of objects on the basis of their ordinal dissimilarity. The two rules that we characterize are the ma...

Transient expression of either a or a1b subunits of the high-conductance Ca21-activated K1 (maxi-K) channel has been achieved in COS-1 cells. Expression has been studied using charybdotoxin (ChTX), a peptidyl inhibitor that binds in the pore on the a subunit. Although some properties of monoiodotyrosine-ChTX (125I-ChTX) binding to membranes derived from each type of transfected cells appear to ...

We present a follow-up study on the recent detection of two X-ray flaring events by MAXI/GSC observations in soft and hard X-rays from MAXI J0709-159 direction HD 54786 (LY CMa), 2022 January 25. The luminosity during flare was around 10^(37) erg/s (MAXI), which got reduced to 10^(32) (NuSTAR) after flare. took low-resolution spectra HCT VBT facilities India, February 1 2.

Recently, the problem of inconsistency handling in description logics has attracted a lot of attention. Many approaches were proposed to deal with this problem based on existing techniques for inconsistency management. In this paper, we first define two revision operators in description logics, one is called the weakening-based revision operator and the other is its refinement. The logical prop...

This paper provides an axiomatic characterization of two rules for comparing alternative sets of objects on the basis of the diversity that they offer. The framework considered assumes a finite universe of objects and an a priori given ordinal quadernary relation that compares alternative pairs of objects on the basis of their ordinal dissimilarity. Very few properties of this quadernary relati...

The description of the error dynamics (30) in our paper [1] contains an omission that leads to some bounds used in the conditions of Theorem 8 and Corollary 2 in the paper to be incorrectly defined. In what follows, the correct error dynamics and the corresponding conditions are given. Instead of (30) in [1], the error dynamics are actually given by ė = m ∑ i=1 wi(z)[(Ai − LiC +MiAδi)e +Mi(Āδix̂...
