A balanced omega-6/omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) ratio has been linked to health benefits and the prevention of many chronic diseases. Current dietary intervention studies with different sources of omega-3 fatty acids (omega-3) lack appropriate control diets and carry many other confounding factors derived from genetic and environmental variability. In our study, we used the fat-1 t...

The Drosophila hsr omega locus produces one of the largest and most active heat shock puffs, yet it does not encode a heat shock protein. Instead, this locus produces a distinctive set of three transcripts, all from the same start site. The largest transcript, omega 1, is limited to the nucleus and appears to have a role there. A second nuclear transcript, omega 2, is produced by alternative te...

a growing number of observational and epidemiological studies have suggested that mental illness, in particular mood disorders, is associated with decreased dietary intake and/or cellular abundance of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (pufa). this has prompted researchers to test the efficacy of omega-3 pufa in a range of different psychiatric disorders. we have critically reviewed the double...

‎Let $mathcal{A}$ be a commutative Banach algebra and $mathscr{X}$ be a left Banach $mathcal{A}$-module‎. ‎We study the set‎ ‎${rm Dec}_{mathcal{A}}(mathscr{X})$ of all elements in $mathcal{A}$ which induce a decomposable multiplication operator on $mathscr{X}$‎. ‎In the case $mathscr{X}=mathcal{A}$‎, ‎${rm Dec}_{mathcal{A}}(mathcal{A})$ is the well-known Apostol algebra of $mathcal{A}$‎. ‎We s...

 For a Banach algebra $fA$, we introduce ~$c.c(fA)$, the set of all $phiin fA^*$ such that $theta_phi:fAto  fA^*$ is a completely continuous operator, where $theta_phi$ is defined by $theta_phi(a)=acdotphi$~~ for all $ain fA$. We call $fA$, a completely continuous Banach algebra if $c.c(fA)=fA^*$. We give some examples of completely continuous Banach algebras and a sufficient condition for an o...

In this paper we look at the K-theory of a specific C*-algebra closely related to the irrational rotation algebra. Also it is shown that any automorphism of a C*-algebra A induces group automorphisms of K_{1}(A) amd K_{0}(A) in an obvious way. An interesting problem for any C*-algebra A is to find out whether, given an automorphism of K_{0}(A) and an automorphism of K_{1}(A), we can lift them t...

a heyting algebra is a distributive lattice with implication and a dual $bck$-algebra is an algebraic system having as models logical systems equipped with implication. the aim of this paper is to investigate the relation of heyting algebras between dual $bck$-algebras. we define notions of $i$-invariant and $m$-invariant on dual $bck$-semilattices and prove that a heyting semilattice is equiva...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND The vitamin-like omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids are converted in the body to a large family of hormones which act at selective receptors that occur on nearly every cell and tissue. A relative omega-3 deficit allows overabundant actions of omega-6 hormones to develop into health disorders. People need simple, explicit information on the balance of essential fa...
