In order to improve the use efficiency of a cover crop, hairy vetch (Vicia villosa R., HV), and supplemental chemical N fertilizer, N release and uptake patterns from HV, fast-release N fertilizer (Fast), and slow-release N fertilizer (Slow) in fresh market tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) production were investigated using the 15N-labeling method. In the incubation of soil-added N at two mix r...

BACKGROUND Interleukin-33 (IL-33) has recently been implicated in tumor immunity. The aim of this study was to explore the clinical role of serum IL-33 in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS Sera collected from 250 healthy volunteers (HV), 256 patients with benign lung diseases (BLD) and 262 NSCLC cases were subjected to IL-33 ELISA and relationships between serum IL-33 ...

In this paper, we introduce a generalized class of an Hv-semigroup obtained from an LA-semigroup H. This generalized Hv-structure is called an Hv-LA-semigroup. We provide several examples of Hv-LA-semigroups. Moreover, with the help of an example we obtain that each LA-semigroup endowed with an equivalence relation can induce an Hv-LA-semigroup. We also investigate isomorphism theorems with the...

Hydroa vacciniforme (HV) is a rare and chronic pediatric disorder that is characterized by photosensitivity and recurrent vesicles that heal with vacciniforme scarring. The pathogenesis of HV is unknown; no chromosome abnormality has been identified. HV patients have no abnormal laboratory results, so the diagnosis of HV is based on identifying the associated histological findings in a biopsy s...

Hallux valgus (HV) is a common deformity characterized by progressive lateral deviation of the great toe at the first metatarsophalangeal joint (1 MTPJ). It commonly associates with a painful overlying soft-tissue prominence, the “bunion”. A recent systematic review estimated the prevalence of HV to be 23% in adults aged 18 to 65 years. It becomes more frequent with increasing age and is more p...

1-Vinylcycloalkenes undergo highly regio- and enantioselective (>98% ee) 1,4-hydrovinylation (HV) when treated with ethylene (1 atm) at room temperature in the presence of [(S,S)-2,4-bis-diphenylphosphinopentane (BDPP)]CoCl(2) (0.05 equiv) and methylaluminoxane. The minor 1,2-HV products, seen only in 1-vinylcyclohexene (~15%) and 1-vinylcycloheptene (2%), are formed as racemic mixtures. The co...

Hippocampal atrophy is observed with ageing and age-related neurodegenerative disease. Identification of the genetic correlates of hippocampal volume (HV) and atrophy may assist in elucidating the mechanisms of ageing and age-related neurodegeneration. Using two community cohorts of older Caucasians we estimated the heritability of HV and examined associations of HV with previously identified s...

in this paper, we deal with molaei’s generalized groups. we definethe notion of a fuzzy generalized subgroup with respect to a t-norm (ort-fuzzy generalized subgroup) and give some related properties. especially,we state and prove the representation theorem for these fuzzy generalizedsubgroups. next, using the concept of continuity of t-norms we obtain a correspondencebetween tf(g), the set of ...
