Introduction: Minocycline is a derivative of tetracycline that has anti-inflammatory, antiappoptic, antioxidant and neuroprotective effects. Since there is a relationship between cell death and seizure, the aim of this study was to examine the role of minocycline in development of amygdala kindling in Wistar rats. Methods: In this study, 21 rats were divided into three groups. After sterotax...

Objective In previous studies, the relaxant, anticholinergic (functional antagonism), antihistaminic and its stimulatory effects on b-adrenoceptors of Nigella sativa have been demonstrated on guinea pig tracheal chains. In the present study, the relaxant effects of hydro-ethanolic, macerated aqueous (MA) and lipid-free macerated aqueous (LFMA) extract of Nigella sativa on tracheal chains of gu...

We analyze the flavor structure of the trilinear couplings in the different theoretical models of SUSY breaking. We generically obtain Aij = A L i +A R j in all the models examined. In fact, this is the rigorous form when SUSY breaking effects appear through the Kähler metric of chiral fields or through wave–function renormalization. Indeed, the low–energy phenomenological requirements from the...

It is known that an analog Hopfield neural network with time delay can generate the outputs which are similar to the human electroencephalogram. To gain deeper insights into the mechanisms of rhythm generation by the Hopfield neural networks and to study the effects of noise on their activities, we investigated the behaviors of the networks with symmetric and asymmetric interneuron connections....

We start by stating a version of the Perron–Frobenius theorem. Let A be a d × d stochastic matrix, where here we use this to mean that the entries of A are non-negative, and every column sums to 1: Aij ∈ [0, 1] for all i, j, and ∑d i=1Aij = 1 for all j. Thus the columns of A are probability vectors. Such a matrix A describes a weighted random walk on d sites: if the walker is presently at site ...

is called an m × n matrix and briefly denoted by A = [aij ] i,j=1 or just A = [aij ]. If the entries aij are in some given set S we denote by Sm×n the set of all m× n with entries in S. In some other books Sn×n is denoted by Mmn(S) and Mn(S) stands for Mnn(S). As usual R,C,Z and F stands for the set of real numbers, complex numbers, integers, and a field respectively. Consider A ∈ Rn×m. It can ...
