we studied the effect of different concentrations of alpha-tocopherol on in vitro cupric ions induced oxidation of low density lipoproteins (ldl). human native ldl (50 µg protein/ml) oxidation was induced by 10 µmol/l of cuso4. conjugated dienes were measured spectrophotometrically for up to 440 minutes. the length of the lag phase (tlag), maximum velocity of the reaction (vmax) and the maximum...

high strength fresh leachates generated at a new disposal trench, compost plant and partially stabilized leachate of an older trench were characterized in terms of anaerobic degradation at laboratory batch scale at 35oc. fresh leachate had extremely high cod of 66,710 – 89,501 mg/l along with low ph of 4.1-5.9 in contrast to older and therefore partially stabilized leachate with a cod of about ...

Let L be a very ample line bundle on a smooth curve C of genus g with 3g+3 2 < degL ≤ 2g − 5. Then L is normally generated if degL > max{2g+2−4h(C,L), 2g− g−1 6 −2h(C,L)}. Let C be a triple covering of genus p curve C′ with C φ → C′ and D a divisor on C′ with 4p < degD < g−1 6 − 2p. Then KC(−φ ∗D) becomes a very ample line bundle which is normally generated. As an application, we characterize s...

If 〈L, <〉 is a dense linear ordering without end points and A and B disjoint dense subsets of L, then the topology OAB on the set L generated by closed intervals [a, b], where a ∈ A and b ∈ B, is finer than the standard topology, O<, generated by all open intervals and 〈L,OAB〉 is a GO-space. The basic properties of the topology OAB (separation axioms, cardinal functions, metrizability) are inve...

We resolve a long-standing question on L completeness of the timescale (or wavelet) system generated by the Mexican hat function, when p ≥ 2. Our main result concerns frequency-scale systems generated by modulation and dilation of a single function. The mixed frame operator (analysis followed by synthesis) is shown to be bijective from L(R) to itself, for 1 ≤ q < ∞, so that the frequency-scale ...

In this study, nanoscale zero-valent copper (nZVC) as catalyst activated persulfate (PS) was used for the degradation of p-chlorophenol (p-CP) under ultrasonic (US) irradiation in aqueous solution. The effect of different operational parameters such as solution pH (3.5-10.5), PS concentration (1-7.5 mm/L), nZVC dosage (5-35 mg/L) and initial p-CP concentration (10-100 mg/L) were evaluated at di...

multivariate statistical techniques such as cluster analysis, multidimensional scaling and principal component analysis were applied to evaluate the temporal and spatial variations in water quality data set generated for two years (2008-2010) from six monitoring stations of veli-akkulam lake and compared with a regional reference lake vellayani of south india. seasonal variations of 14 differen...

Let L be a free Lie algebra over a field k, I a non-trivial proper ideal of L, n > 1 an integer. The multiplicator H2(L/I , k) of L/I is not finitely generated, and so in particular, L/I is not finitely presented, even when L/I is finite dimensional.

background: leishmaniasis is a worldwide disease prevalent in tropical and sub tropical coun­tries. many attempts have been made and different strategies have been approached to develop a potent vaccine against leishmania . dna immunisation is a method, which is shown to be effec­tive in leishmania vaccination. leishmania soluble antigen (sla) has also recently been used leishmania vaccination....

Firstly, two kinds of natural distances between intuitionistic fuzzy sets are generated by the classical natural distance between fuzzy sets under a unified framework of residual intuitionistic implication operators. Secondly, the continuity and approximation property of a method for solving intuitionistic fuzzy reasoning are defined. It is proved that the triple implication method for intuitio...
