A $it{weighted~slant~Toep}$-$it{Hank}$ operator $L_{phi}^{beta}$ with symbol $phiin L^{infty}(beta)$ is an operator on $L^2(beta)$ whose representing matrix consists of all even (odd) columns from a weighted slant Hankel (slant weighted Toeplitz) matrix, $beta={beta_n}_{nin mathbb{Z}}$ be a sequence of positive numbers with $beta_0=1$. A matrix characterization for an operator to be $it{weighte...

BACKGROUND Baclofen, the agonist of GABA(B) receptors, influences hypoxia-induced deficits in learning and memory processes. METHODS We studied the effects of baclofen on acquisition in the passive avoidance test and in the Morris water maze in groups of rats without or after hypoxia as well as the influence of baclofen on MMP-2 and MMP-9 levels in the hippocampus. RESULTS Even though baclo...

Let G=(V,E), $V={v_1,v_2,ldots,v_n}$, be a simple connected graph with $%n$ vertices, $m$ edges and a sequence of vertex degrees $d_1geqd_2geqcdotsgeq d_n>0$, $d_i=d(v_i)$. Let ${A}=(a_{ij})_{ntimes n}$ and ${%D}=mathrm{diag }(d_1,d_2,ldots , d_n)$ be the adjacency and the diagonaldegree matrix of $G$, respectively. Denote by ${mathcal{L}^+}(G)={D}^{-1/2}(D+A) {D}^{-1/2}$ the normalized signles...

We research on the possible orientations patterns of a grid graph G, and propose a method for counting certain combinatorial structures over the class of orientations of G. For example, our method can be applied for counting sink-free orientations of G, as well as it can be applied for solving the #2SAT problem for grid Boolean formulas. Our proposal extends the classical transfer matrix method...
