the aim of this paper is to establish random coincidence point results for weakly increasing random operators in the setting of ordered metric spaces by using generalized altering distance functions. our results present random versions and extensions of some well-known results in the current literature.

Retinal vascular caliber provides information about the structure and health of the microvascular system and is associated with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Compared to European Americans, African Americans tend to have wider retinal arteriolar and venular caliber, even after controlling for cardiovascular risk factors. This has suggested the hypothesis that differences in genet...

Vasoactive properties of sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) have been demonstrated by many investigators to vary in systemic vascular beds. These variations appear to reflect differential S1P receptor expression in the vasculature of these tissues. Although S1P has been demonstrated to enhance endothelial barrier function, induce airway hyperresponsiveness, and modulate immune responses in the lung,...

A method for the measurement of proton T(1)(rho) relaxation times in unlabeled proteins is described using a variable spin-lock pulse after the initial nonselective 90 degrees excitation in a HOHAHA pulse sequence. The experiment is applied to alpha-bungarotoxin (alpha-BTX) and its complex with a 25-residue peptide derived from the acetylcholine receptor (AChR) alpha-subunit. A good correlation...

We present a detailed analysis, based on the forward flux sampling simulation method, of the switching dynamics and stability of two models of genetic toggle switches, consisting of two mutually repressing genes encoding transcription factors (TFs); in one model (the exclusive switch), the two transcription factors mutually exclude each other's binding, while in the other model (general switch)...

for a finite field $mathbb{f}_q$, the bivariate skew polynomial ring $mathbb{f}_q[x,y;rho,theta]$ has been used to study codes cite{xh}. in this paper, we give some characterizations of the ring $r[x,y;rho,theta]$, where $r$ is a commutative ring. we investigate 2-d skew $(lambda_1,lambda_2)$-constacyclic codes in the ring $r[x,y;rho,theta]/langle x^l-lambda_1,y^s-lambda_2rangle_{mathit{l}}.$ a...

Let$mathbb{C}^n$ be the space of $n$ complex variables. Let$Omega_{n,p_2,ldots,p_n}$ be a complete Reinhardt on$mathbb{C}^n$. The Minkowski functional on complete Reinhardt$Omega_{n,p_2,ldots,p_n}$ is denoted by $rho(z)$. The concept ofspirallike mapping of type $beta$ and order $alpha$ is defined.So, the concept of the strong and almost spirallike mappings o...

We present an interactive contrast enhancement technique for the global histogram modification of images. Through direct manipulation, the user adjusts contrast by clicking on the image. Contrast around different key tones can be adjusted simultaneously and independently without altering their luminance. Histogram warping by monotonic splines performs the gray level mapping. User interfaces for...

Very recently, Agarwal et al. (Fixed Point Theory Appl. 2012:40, 2012) initiated the study of fixed point theorems for mappings satisfying cyclical generalized contractive conditions in complete partial metric spaces. In the present paper, we study some fixed point theorems for a mapping satisfying a cyclical generalized contractive condition based on a pair of altering distance functions in co...
