Ethanol has been reported to cause hypertension, the mechanism of which is unknown. Therefore, the effect of chronic ethanol consumption on vascular responsiveness and blood pressure was investigated. Systolic blood pressure was recorded weekly by tail-cuff method. Aortic rings from rats fed chow ad libitum or pair-fed liquid diets containing either ethanol (7.2% v/v) or isocaloric carbohydrate...

This is a slight extension of an expository paper I wrote a while ago as a supplement to my joint work with Declan Quinn on Burnside’s theorem for Hopf algebras. It was never published, but may still be of interest to students and beginning researchers. Let K be a field and let A be an algebra over K. Then the tensor product A⊗A = A⊗K A is also a K-algebra, and it is quite possible that there e...

Let k be a field of finite characteristic p, and G a finite group acting on the left on a finite dimensional k-vector space V . Then the dual vector space V ∗ is naturally a right kG-module, and the symmetric algebra of the dual, R := Sym(V ∗), is a polynomial ring over k on which G acts naturally by graded algebra automorphisms, and if k is algebraically closed can be regarded as the space k[V...

The aims of this study were to identify the effect of clofibrate administration in the development of high blood pressure secondary to aortic coarctation (AoCo) and to assess its effect on vascular reactivity. Three experimental groups of rats were used: sham-operated, aortic coarctated vehicle-treated (AoCo-V), and aortic coarctated clofibrate-treated (AoCo-C100). The rats were treated for sev...

in this paper, we introduce the new notion of strongly j-clean rings associatedwith polynomial identity g(x) = 0, as a generalization of strongly j-clean rings. we denotestrongly j-clean rings associated with polynomial identity g(x) = 0 by strongly g(x)-j-cleanrings. next, we investigate some properties of strongly g(x)-j-clean.

We describe a Hopf algebraic approach to the Grothendieck ring of representations of subgroups Hπ of the general linear group GL(n) which stabilize a tensor of Young symmetry {π}. It turns out that the representation ring of the subgroup can be described as a Hopf algebra twist, with a 2-cocycle derived from the Cauchy kernel 2-cocycle using plethysms. Due to Schur-Weyl duality we also need to ...

Let k be an arbitrary field, Λ a k-algebra and V Λ-module. When it exists, the universal deformation ring R(Λ,V) of is whose local homomorphisms to R parametrize lifts up R⊗kΛ, where any complete, commutative Noetherian with residue field k. Symmetric special biserial algebras, which coincide Brauer graph can viewed as generalizing blocks finite type p-modular group algebras. Bleher Wackwitz cl...

We introduce the notion ofstrongly $alpha$-reversible rings which is a strong version of$alpha$-reversible rings, and investigate its properties. We firstgive an example to show that strongly reversible rings need not bestrongly $alpha$-reversible. We next argue about the strong$alpha$-reversibility of some kinds of extensions. A number ofproperties of this version are established. It is shown ...

Given a finite family $\mathcal U$ of subsets $\mathbb Z^d\setminus \{0\}$, the U$-$voter\ dynamics$ in space configurations $\{+,-\}^{\mathbb Z^d}$ is defined as follows: every $v\in\mathbb Z^d$ has an independent exponential random clock, and when clock at $v$ rings, vertex chooses $X\in\mathcal uniformly random. If set $v+X$ entirely state $+$ (resp. $-$), then updates to otherwise nothing h...

Front Cover: Polymers Containing P-C Bonds in the main chain, wherein phosphorus(V), aromatic rings, and hydroxymethylene moieties are linked by bis(α-hydroxymethylene)phosphinic acid units, is synthesized via Abramov phosphonylation reaction as presented article 2200921 Siby Mathew, Yumiko Nakajima co-workers. The resulting polymers water soluble (pH > 10), display resilience against base cata...
