background: cd8+ cytotoxic t lymphocytes have been recently divided based on their cytokine expression profile. objective: to evaluate the percentages of cd8+ lymphocytes and their effector subsets including tc1, tc2 and tc17 in the tumor draining lymph nodes (tdlns) of patients with breast cancer. methods: single cell suspensions were obtained from tdlns of 42 patients with breast cancer. stai...

A new type of linear tetranuclear Ln-Ni-Ni-Ln (Ln = Dy 1, Gd 2) complexes have been prepared using multidentate ligand N,N’-bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)-1,3diaminobenzene having two sets of NO and OO’ coordination pockets which can selectively accommodate Ni and Ln ions, respectively. The X-ray structure analysis reveals that the Ni ions are bridged by phenylenediimine groups forming a twelvememb...

The main result of this paper is a character sum identity for Coxeter arrangements over finite fields which is an analogue of Macdonald’s conjecture [19] proved by Opdam [21]. 0. Introduction Throughout this paper F will denote a finite field of characteristic p different from 2. We first slightly reformulate Macdonald’s conjecture in a form which has a direct analogue over F. Let G be a finite...

The embedding theorems in anisotropic Besov-Lions type spaces Bp,θ(R ;E0,E) are studied; here E0 and E are two Banach spaces. The most regular spaces Eα are found such that the mixed differential operators Dα are bounded from Bp,θ(R ;E0,E) to B q,θ(R ;Eα), where Eα are interpolation spaces between E0 and E depending on α= (α1,α2, . . . ,αn) and l = (l1, l2, . . . , ln). By using these results t...

The aim of this paper is to give new results about factorizations of the Fibonacci numbers Fn and the Lucas numbers Ln. These numbers are defined by the second order recurrence relation an+2 = an+1+an with the initial terms F0 = 0, F1 = 1 and L0 = 2, L1 = 1, respectively. Proofs of theorems are done with the help of connections between determinants of tridiagonal matrices and the Fibonacci and ...

In this paper, we nd the relationships between module contractibility of aBanach algebra and its ideals. We also prove that module contractibility ofa Banach algebra is equivalent to module contractibility of its module uniti-zation. Finally, we show that when a maximal group homomorphic image ofan inverse semigroup S with the set of idempotents E is nite, the moduleprojective tensor product l1...

Petroleum oil was used for many centuries in Egypt, China, Mesopotamia and Persia for heating, lighting, roadmaking and building. Small accumulations of oil were reported at Pechelbronn in Alsace in 1498 and in Poland in 1506, and Marco Polo noted 'oil springs' at Baku on the Caspian Sea in the latter part of the thirteenth century. Raleigh, in 1595, reported the existence of the Trinidad Pitch...
