Given two metric spaces S1, S2 and a measurable function f : S1 → S2, sup­ pose S1 is equipped with some probability measure P. This induces a proba­ bility measure on S2 which is denoted by Pf−1 and is defined by Pf−1(A) = P(f−1(A)) for every measurable set A ⊂ S2. Then for any random variable X : S2 → R, its expectation EPf−1 [X] is equal to EP[X(f)]. (Convince your­ self that this is the cas...

to evaluate the relationship between total organic carbon (toc) and rock-eval s2 (petroleum potential) of petroleum source rocks, atotal of 180 outcrop samples from the black organic matter–rich facies of mesozoic strata from a locality of southwest of iran wereinvestigated using rock-eval vi pyrolysis and leco carbon analyzer. the linear regression is applied to determine the correlationbetwee...

A biztosítók működését európai szinten meghatározó Szolvencia II szabályrendszer (S2) bevezetése óta több mint öt esztendő telt el, ami már lehetővé teszi a hazai folyamatok részletes elemzését. Az S2 újszerű, banki szabályozással rokon megközelítése, így többek közt piackonzisztens értékelési elvek és kockázatalapú tőkeszükséglet alkalmazása kiállta az utóbbi évek próbáit: szektor stabilitását...

The functional properties of the only inositol trisphosphate (IP(3)) receptor subtype expressed in Drosophila were examined in permeabilized S2 cells. The IP(3) receptors of S2 cells bound (1,4,5)IP(3) with high affinity (K(d)=8.5+/-1.1 nM), mediated positively co-operative Ca(2+) release from a thapsigargin-sensitive Ca(2+) store (EC(50)=75+/-4 nM, Hill coefficient=2.1+/-0.2), and they were re...

BACKGROUND After upper-limit-of-vulnerability (ULV) shocks of the same strength and coupling interval (CI) during the T wave, (1) the epicardial activation pattern (EAP) for the first postshock cycle is indistinguishable between shocks that do (VF) and do not (NoVF) induce ventricular fibrillation (VF) and (2) >/=3 cycles in rapid succession always occur during VF but not during NoVF episodes. ...

Introgression libraries are valuable resources for QTL detection and breeding, but their development is costly and time-consuming. Selection strategies for the development of introgression populations with a limited number of individuals and high-throughput (HT) marker assays are required. The objectives of our simulation study were to design and compare selection strategies for the development...

Rate equations and kinetic parameters were obtained for various reactions involved in the bacterial oxidation of pyrite. The rate constants were 3.5 muM Fe per min per FeS(2) percent pulp density for the spontaneous pyrite dissolution, 10 muM Fe per min per mM Fe for the indirect leaching with Fe, 90 muM O(2) per min per mg of wet cells per ml for the Thiobacillus ferrooxidans oxidation of wash...

Melatonin plays several important physiological functions in mammals, such as immune enhancement and regulation of dark-light signal transduction. Melatonin is also known to be an endogenous free radical scavenger and an efficient antioxidant. It detoxifies a variety of free radicals and reactive oxygen intermediates, including the hydroxyl radical, singlet oxygen and nitric oxide. These radica...
