Hargreaves, T. (1973). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 48, 446. Effect of fatty acids on bilirubin conjugation. The effect of fatty acids on bilirubin conjugation has been studied. Unsaturated fatty acids containing 18 to 20 carbon atoms decreased the rate of conjugation in rat liver slices and microsomes, probably by inhibiting glucuronyl transferase. Since fatty acids may be an important so...

Any maximal monotone operator can be characterized by a convex function. The family of such convex functions is invariant under a transformation connected with the Fenchel-Legendre conjugation. We prove that there exist a convex representation of the operator which is a fixed point of this conjugation. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 47H05 keywords: maximal monotone operators, conjugat...

The action of any group on itself by conjugation and the corresponding conjugacy relation play an important role in group theory. There have been several attempts to extend the notion of conjugacy to semigroups. In this paper, we present a new definition of conjugacy that can be applied to an arbitrary semigroup and it does not reduce to the universal relation in semigroups with a zero. We comp...

N general terms, the characteristics of the conjugation system in Pseudomonas I aeruginosa show some similarities to those of the more intensively studied Escherichia coli. Mating occurs between parents differing in the possession of a fertility factor FP. Genetic transfer is from the male FP+ or donor parent to the female F P or recipient parent. The sex factor FP is infectious in that it can ...

We propose an authentication scheme where forgery (a.k.a. impersonation) seems infeasible without finding the prover’s long-term private key. The latter is equivalent to solving the conjugacy search problem in the platform (noncommutative) semigroup, i.e., to recovering X from X−1AX and A. The platform semigroup that we suggest here is the semigroup of n×n matrices over truncated multivariable ...
