Let τ be an invertible skew pairing on (B,H), where B and H are Hopf algebras in a symmetric monoidal category C with (co)equalizers. Assume that H is quasitriangular. Then we obtain a new algebra structure such that B is a Hopf algebra in the braided category HYD and there exists a Hopf algebra isomorphism w : B∞H → B τH in C, where B∞H is a Hopf algebra with (co)algebra structure the smash (c...

The objective of this study was to determine lactation performance and metabolism of primiparous and multiparous dairy cows fed different levels and sources (inorganic and organic) of Co or given weekly vitamin B(12) injections. Forty-five primi- and multiparous cows at 60 d prepartum were blocked by expected calving date, and randomly assigned to 1 of 5 treatments in a randomized complete bloc...

Poly (amide-6-b-ethylene oxide)/Zinc Oxide (PEBA/ZnO) mixed matrix membranes were fabricated using ethanol/water as solvent by solvent casting method. The concentration of ZnO in membrane was set to 0.1 wt.% and the synthesized membranes were characterized by AFM and FTIR. Effects of ZnO nanoparticle on CO2, CH4 and N2 permeabilities, and CO2/N2<...

Cache-oblivious B-trees for data sets stored in external memory represent an application that can benefit from the use of transactional memory (TM), yet pose several challenges for existing TM implementations. Using TM, a programmer can modify a serial, in-memory cache-oblivious B-tree (CO B-tree) to support concurrent operations in a straightforward manner, by performing queries and updates as...

BACKGROUND Accumulation of lung fluid in the critically ill patient is believed to attenuate impedance cardiac output (CO(IC)) measurements. However, this phenomenon has never been shown experimentally. METHODS In eight anaesthetized and ventilated dogs (weight 15-22 kg) a high-precision flow probe was placed on the ascending aorta via a left thoracotomy incision and the direct cardiac output...

abstract background: hepatitis b virus (hbv) infection in patients who lack detectable hepatitis b surface antigen (hbsag) is called occult hepatitis b infection. such infections have been frequently identified in patients with chronic hepatitis cliver disease, but their prevalence is not known. methods: 207 patients with chronic hepatitis c who were hcv -rna and antihcv positive were studied f...

A co-biclique of a simple undirected graph G = (V, E) is the edge-set of two disjoint complete subgraphs of G. (A co-biclique is the complement of a biclique.) A subset F ⊆ E is an independent of G if there is a co-biclique B such that F ⊆ B, otherwise F is a dependent of G. This paper describes the minimal dependents of G. (A minimal dependent is a dependent C such that any proper subset of C ...
