In this article, which serves as the introduction to this special issue, we examine the reality, meaning and use of enduring digital remains of humans. We are specifically int...

objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of exendin-4 (ex-4) on differentiation of insulin-producing cells (ipcs) from rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (rat-bm-mscs). materials and methods: in this experimental study, rat-bm-mscs were cultured and the cells characterized by flow cytometry analysis of cell surface markers. rat-bm-mscs were subsequently treated wi...

‎let $pa$ be a commutative banach algebra and $ex$ be a left banach $pa$-module‎. ‎we study the set‎ ‎$dec_{pa}(ex)$ of all elements in $pa$ which induce a decomposable multiplication operator on $ex$‎. ‎in the case $ex=pa$‎, ‎$dec_{pa}(pa)$ is the well-known apostol algebra of $pa$‎. ‎we show that $dec_{pa}(ex)$ is intimately related with the largest spectrally separable subalgebra of $pa$ and...
