Let G be a compact Lie group, let RG be a commutative algebra over the sphere G-spectrum SG, and let R be its underlying nonequivariant algebra over the sphere spectrum S. When RG is split as an algebra, as holds for example for RG = MUG, we show how to “extend scalars” to construct a split RG-module MG = RG ∧R M from an R-module M . We also show how to compute the coefficients MG ∗ in terms of...

An antidiabetic drug of the thiazolidinedione class, rosiglitazone (RG) demonstrates anti-inflammatory properties in various brain pathologies. The mechanism of RG action in brain cells is not fully known. To unravel mechanisms of RG modulation of toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling pathways, we compare primary rat neuron and astrocyte cultures stimulated with the TLR4 agonist lipopolysaccharide...

The effect of recombinant granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rG-CSF) on acute disseminated Candida albicans infection in nonneutropenic mice was investigated. Mice treated with a single dose of rG-CSF showed a significantly reduced mortality (28% vs. 90%; P < .001). The outgrowth of C. albicans from the kidneys, spleens, and livers of rG-CSF-treated mice was significantly reduced (log cfu/g...

Scaling and renormalization group (RG) methods are used to study parabolic equations with a small nonlinear term and find the decay exponents. The determination of decay exponents is viewed as an asymptotically self similar process that facilitates an RG approach. These RG methods are extended to higher order in the small coefficient of the nonlinearity. The RG results are verified in some case...

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate and compare the in vivo radioprotective effects of pre-total body irradiation (TBI) conditioning with recombinant granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rG-CSF) and recombinant granulocyte-macrophage CSF (rGM-CSF) in a large series of lethally and supralethally irradiated mice. Also analyzed were the radioprotective effects of simultaneous as wel...

Inspired by previous work on the constraints that duality imposes on beta functions of spin models, we propose a consistency condition between those functions and RG flows at different points in coupling constant space. We show that this consistency holds for a non self-dual model which admits an exact RG flow, but that it is violated when the RG flow is only approximate. We discuss the use of ...
