the present study was undertaken to determine whether two-month treatment of streptozotocin (stz)-diabetic rats with aqueous leaf extract of trigonella foenum-graecum (tfg 200 mg/kg i.p.) could improve thoracic aortic responsiveness and to evaluate its endothelium dependency. for this purpose, vascular responses to kcl and noradrenaline (na) were measured. diabetic state significantly increased...

we give a survey of recent applications of group rings to combinatorics and tocryptography, including their use in the di erential cryptanalysis of block ciphers.

The transport of Balbiani ring (BR) premessenger RNP particles in the larval salivary gland cells of the dipteran Chironomus tentans can be followed using electron microscopy. A BR RNP particle consists of an RNP ribbon bent into a ringlike structure. Upon translocation through the nuclear pore complex (NPC), the ribbon is straightened and enters the central channel of the NPC with the 5' end o...

An efficient N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalyzed sulfenylation reaction of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes with N-(arylthio)phthalimide has been developed. A wide variety of α-thioenals can be obtained with good to excellent yields and excellent Z-configuration.

In this paper we construct a q-deformation of the Witt-Burnside ring of a profinite group over a commutative ring, where q ranges over the ring of integers. When q = 1, this coincides with the Witt-Burnside ring introduced by A. To achieve our goal we show that there exists a q-deformation of the necklace ring of a profinite group over a commutative ring. As in the classical case, i.e., the cas...

The following result is proved: Let R be a 2-torsion free semiprime ring, and let T : R → R be an additive mapping, related to a surjective homomorphism θ : R → R, such that 2T (x2) = T (x)θ(x) + θ(x)T (x) for all x ∈ R. Then T is both a left and a right θ-centralizer.

In this paper we focus on a special class of commutative local‎ ‎rings called SPAP-rings and study the relationship between this‎ ‎class and other classes of rings‎. ‎We characterize the structure of‎ ‎modules and especially‎, ‎the prime submodules of free modules over‎ ‎an SPAP-ring and derive some basic properties‎. ‎Then we answer the‎ ‎question of Lam and Reyes about strongly Oka ideals fam...

Here, new N,N′-dipyridoxyl(4,4''-diaminodiphenylether) Schiff-base ligand has been synthesized and characterized by IR, 1H NMR and mass spectrometry. Also, geometry optimization and theoretical assignment of IR spectrum of the ligand have been computed by employing density functional theory (DFT) method. Two pyridine rings and benzene rings in the bridge region are not in the same plane. The ca...
