In this paper, we investigate Jordan ∗-homomorphisms on C∗-algebras associated with the following functional inequality ‖f( b−a 3 ) + f( a−3c 3 ) + f( 3a+3c−b 3 )‖ ≤ ‖f(a)‖. We moreover prove the superstability and the generalized Hyers-Ulam stability of Jordan ∗homomorphisms on C∗-algebras associated with the following functional equation f( b− a 3 ) + f( a− 3c 3 ) + f( 3a+ 3c− b 3 ) = f(a).

UNLABELLED The central amygdala (CeA) has a key role in learning and expression of defensive responses. Recent studies indicate that somatostatin-expressing (SOM(+)) neurons in the lateral division of the CeA (CeL) are essential for the acquisition and recall of conditioned freezing behavior, which has been used as an index of defensive response in laboratory animals during Pavlovian fear condi...

Cytotox ic T-cel ls were derived from the per i toneal cavity of a C 5 7 B L / 6 mouse immunized with B A L B / c sarcoma Meth A and from the sp leens of B A L B / c x C 5 7 B L / 6 F1 (hereaf ter cal led CB6F1) mice immunized with B A L B / c leukemia R L ~ I . The cel ls were cu l tured in inter leukin 2 and c loned by limiting di lut ion, and their speci f ic i ty was determined by d i rect ...

Chitosan (CS), a polysaccharide derived from chitin, the second most abundant polysaccharide, is widely used in the medical world because of its natural and nontoxic properties and its innate ability for antibacterial and hemostasis effects. In this study, the novel composites containing CS and cellulose (CEL) (i.e., [CEL + CS]), which we have previously synthesized using a green and totally re...

The molecular co-chaperone CDC37 is over-expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells, where it functions with HSP90 to regulate the activity of protein kinases in multiple oncogenic signaling pathways that contribute towards hepatocarcinogenesis. Disruption of these signaling pathways via inhibition of HSP90/CDC37 interaction is therefore a rational therapeutic approach. We evaluated the ...

Idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) and chronic eosinophilic leukemia (CEL) comprise a spectrum of indolent to aggressive diseases characterized by unexplained, persistent hypereosinophilia. These disorders have eluded a unique molecular explanation, and therapy has primarily been oriented toward palliation of symptoms related to organ involvement. Recent reports indicate that HES and C...

Aims. We present an analysis of physical conditions in planetary nebulae (PNe) in terms of collisionally-excited line (CEL) and optical-recombination line (ORL) profiles. We aim to investigate whether line profiles could be used to study the long-standing CEL/ORL abundance-discrepancy problem in nebular astrophysics. Methods. Using 1D photoionization models and their assumed velocity fields, we...

BACKGROUND Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers are the method of choice for genetic analyses including diversity and quantitative trait loci (QTL) studies. Marker validation is essential for QTL studies, but the cost and workload are considerable when large numbers of markers need to be verified. Marker systems with low development costs would be most suitable for this task. RESULTS ...

While the early start and higher intensity of the 2012/13 influenza A virus (IAV) epidemic was not unprecedented, it was the first IAV epidemic season since the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic where the H3N2 subtype predominated. We directly sequenced the genomes of 154 H3N2 clinical specimens collected throughout the epidemic to better understand the evolution of H3N2 strains and to inform the H3...
