Let $M_R$ be a non-zero‎ ‎module and ${mathcal F}‎: ‎sigma[M_R]times sigma[M_R]‎ ‎rightarrow$ Mod-$Bbb{Z}$ a bifunctor‎. ‎The‎ ‎$mathcal{F}$-reversibility of $M$ is defined by ${mathcal‎ ‎F}(X,Y)=0 Rightarrow {mathcal F}(Y,X)=0$ for all non-zero $X,Y$‎ ‎in $sigma[M_R]$‎. ‎Hom (resp‎. ‎Rej)-reversibility of $M$ is‎ ‎characterized in different ways‎. ‎Among other things‎, ‎it is shown‎ ‎th...

A frame $L$ is called {it coz-dense} if $Sigma_{coz(alpha)}=emptyset$ implies $alpha=mathbf 0$. Let $mathcal RL$ be the ring of real-valued continuous functions on a coz-dense and completely regular frame $L$. We present a description of the socle of the ring $mathcal RL$ based on minimal ideals of $mathcal RL$ and zero sets in pointfree topology. We show that socle of $mathcal RL$ is an essent...

A curve-theorem based approach is proposed and is used to handle NDVI data. The curve-theorem based approach includes a general index CD and two nonlinear transformations SAV and CAV . It is applied to Landsat MSS images of the Yellow River Delta, taken on 1 December, 1976 and 3 December, 1988. Results show that CD can describe the general situation of vegetation cover change in the Yellow Rive...

BACKGROUND There is a paucity of information regarding the impact of the coronary collaterals on prognosis in type 2 diabetic (T2DM) patients. We developed a novel index, which considers not only the degree of collateral circulation but also the stimulus of collateral development, and investigated its prognostic value in T2DM patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS AND RESULTS On...

We study various aspects of N = (2, 2) supersymmetric non-Abelian gauge theories in two dimensions, with applications to string vacua. We compute the Witten index of SU(k) SQCD with N > 0 flavors with twisted masses; the result is presented as the solution to a simple combinatoric problem. We further claim that the infra-red fixed point of SU(k) gauge theory with N massless flavors is non-singu...

We report the EXITE2 hard X-ray imaging of the sky around 3C273. A 2h observation on May 8, 1997, shows a ∼260 mCrab source detected at ∼4σ in each of two bands (50-70 and 70-93 keV) and located ∼30' from 3C273 and consistent in position with the SIGMA source GRS1227+025. The EXITE2 spectrum is consistent with a power law with photon index 3 and large low energy absorption, as indicated by the ...

The switch of RNA polymerase specificity from early to late promoters of bacteriophage T4 is achieved by substitution of host sigma factor, sigma 70, with the T4 induced factor, sigma gp55. However, overproduction of sigma gp55 from an expression vector is not detrimental to Escherichia coli growth. Direct competition binding assays demonstrate that sigma 70 readily displaces sigma gp55 from RN...

We report on the serendipitous discovery of three transient mm-wave sources using data from Atacama Cosmology Telescope. The first, detected at RA = 273.8138, dec -49.4628 ${\sim}50\sigma$ total, brightened less than 5 mJy to least 1100 150 GHz with an unknown rise time shorter thirteen days, during which increase 250 took only 8 minutes. Maximum flux was observed 2019-11-8. source's spectral i...

The value of the electrocardiogram in assessing infarct size was studied using serial estimates of the MB isomer of creatine kinase (CK MB) in plasma, serial 35 lead praecordial maps in 28 patients with anterior myocardial infarction, and serial 12 lead electrocardiograms in 17 patients with inferior myocardial infarction. In patients with anterior infarcts, sigma ST, sigma R, sigma Q, sigma R/...
