In this supplementary note, we provide the proof of Fact 1 and detailed explanations for Example 4, 5, and 6. The only if part of Fact 1 is proved by Sasaki (1997) and the if part is by Kureishi (2000). However, both papers have not been published. Thus, we provide the proof for completeness. In the explanations for Examples 4, 5, and 6, we provide tables that make it easy to check especially c...

We performed Hα imaging observations of 22 luminous infrared galaxies to investigate how the distribution of star-forming regions in these galaxies is related to galaxy interactions. Based on correlation diagrams between Hα flux and continuum emission for individual galaxies, a sequence for the distribution of star-forming regions was found: very compact (∼ 100 pc) nuclear starbursts with almos...

conclusions it seem that melatonin due to its antioxidant properties, if added to glycerol based media, reduces the harmful effects of freezing-thawing process, and protects seminiferous tubules histological structure from oxidative injury. results the result showed that supplementation of glycerol based media with melatonin has reduced injury to histological structure of seminiferous tubules i...
