is one of the most familiar, and most studied, families of elliptic curves, often used for testing conjectures and for illustrating theorems. When we became interested in the Lang-Trotter conjecture [L-T, page 33] in the function field case, cf. [Ka-LTR], we turned to this family to do some computer experiments. This paper reports on an empirical discovery made in the course of those experiment...

A cDNA clone coding for a functional human prostanoid FP receptor has been isolated from a uterus cDNA library. The human FP receptor consists of 359 amino acid residues with a predicted molecular mass of 40,060, and has the seven putative transmembrane domains characteristic of G-protein-coupled receptors. Challenge of Xenopus oocytes expressing the FP receptor with 10 nM of either prostagland...

24 Background: Combination inhaled therapy with long-acting β2-agonist (LABA) and corticosteroid 25 is beneficial in treating asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). 26 Objective: In asthma, LABAs enhance glucocorticoid receptor (GR) nuclear translocation in the 27 presence of corticosteroids. Whether this biological mechanism occurs in COPD, a relatively 28 corticosteroid-resi...

PURPOSE This research evaluated initial treatment of deep dental caries with caries control (CC) procedure and the effect of other factors on the success of indirect pulp therapy (IPT) and formocresol pulpotomy (FP). METHODS Retrospective chart audits were performed on 226 primary molars with deep caries approaching the pulp that were treated using IPT and FP. Mean follow-up was 3.4 years. CC...

OBJECTIVES R-flurbiprofen (R-FP) was found to offer neuroprotective effects by inhibiting mitochondrial calcium overload induced by β-amyloid peptide toxicity in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, poor brain penetration after oral administration posed a challenge to its further development for AD treatment. In this study, we investigated the potential of serum albumin as nanoparticulate carrier...

Let R be a ring and M a right R-module. M is called n-FP-projective if Ext M N = 0 for any right R-module N of FP-injective dimension ≤n, where n is a nonnegative integer or n = . R M is defined as sup n M is n-FP-projective and R M = −1 if Ext M N = 0 for some FP-injective right R-module N. The right -dimension r -dim R of R is defined to be the least nonnegative integer n such that R M ≥ n im...

In this work, we study the classification of differential graded algebras over Z (DGAs) whose homology is Fp[x], i.e. polynomial algebra Fp on a single generator. This problem was left open in work Dwyer, Greenlees and Iyengar. For |y2p?2|=2p?2, show that there unique non-formal DGA with Fp[y2p?2] 2p?2 Postnikov section. Among result, provides first example Fp[x]. By duality, also shows an exte...

Fluorescent Proteins (FPs) have revolutionized cell biology. The value of labeling and visualizing proteins in living cells is evident from the thousands of publications since the cloning of Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP). Biologists have been flooded with a cornucopia of FPs; however, the FP toolbox has not necessarily been optimized for cell biologists. Common FP plasmids are suboptimal for ...
