the aim of this paper is to prove a common fixed point theorem for nonexpansive type single valued mappings which include both continuous and discontinuous mappings by relaxing the condition of continuity by weak reciprocally continuous mapping. our result is generalize and extends the corresponding result of jhade et al. [p.k. jhade, a.s. saluja and r. kushwah, coincidence and fixed points of ...

The current study was conducted to investigate the relationship between melatonin and chronic anovulation. Adult (3-4 months old) female Wistar rats were submitted to pinealectomy: group I: pinealectomized ovariectomized melatonin-treated (N = 10); group II: pinealectomized ovariectomized placebo-treated (N = 12); group III: pinealectomized light-treated placebo-treated (N = 10) or maintained u...

We analyzed the metabolic rhythms and differential gene expression in the unicellular, diazotrophic cyanobacterium Cyanothece sp. strain ATCC 51142 under N(2)-fixing conditions after a shift from normal 12-h light-12-h dark cycles to continuous light. We found that the mRNA levels of approximately 10% of the genes in the genome demonstrated circadian behavior during growth in free-running (cont...

Light has direct effects on sleep and wakefulness causing arousal in diurnal animals and sleep in nocturnal animals. In the present study, we assessed the modulation of light-induced sleep by melanopsin and the histaminergic system by exposing mice to millisecond light flashes and continuous light respectively. First, we show that the induction of sleep by millisecond light flashes is dose depe...

morphometrical study of iranobuthus krali (kovarik,1997) is given on the basis of 6 specimens collected from fars province,southern iranthe specimens was captured by forceps under uv light during field studies in this province.iranobuthus is easily distinguished from compsobuthus vachon,1949 by it's size and it differs from genera androctonus hemprich & ehremberg, 1828 hottentotta and mesob...

in this paper we introduce continuous $g$-bessel multipliers in hilbert spaces and investigate some of their properties. we provide some conditions under which a continuous $g$-bessel multiplier is a compact operator. also, we show the continuous dependency of continuous $g$-bessel multipliers on their parameters.

PURPOSE The authors examined the effects of both light and circadian phase on the synthetic activity of the dopamine producing enzyme, tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), in the retina of the Midas cichlid (Cichlasoma citrinellum). METHODS TH activity was assayed in the retina-retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) complex of fish entrained to cyclic light regimens. The animals were killed throughout cyclic...
