The present paper is a note on the relative tensor degree of finite groups. This notion generalizes the tensor degree, introduced recently in literature, and allows us to adapt the concept of relative commutativity degree through the notion of nonabelian tensor square. We show two inequalities, which correlate the relative tensor degree with the relative commutativity degree of finite groups. 1...

Bowles, D. K., M. H. Laughlin, and M. Sturek. Exercise training increases K1-channel contribution to regulation of coronary arterial tone. J. Appl. Physiol. 84(4): 1225–1233, 1998.—The present study examined whether regulation of coronary tone in conduit arteries (.1.0 mm ID) is altered by exercise training. Yucatan miniature swine were treadmill trained for 16–20 wk (Ex) and compared with sede...

The rat ClC-K1 chloride channel is a kidney-specific member of the ClC chloride channel family found exclusively in the thin ascending limb of Henle's loop in the kidney. To gain insight into the mechanism(s) of kidney-specific expression of ClC-K1, a genomic clone that contains the 5'-flanking region of the rat ClC-K1 gene was isolated. A single transcription start site was located 84 bp upstr...

Cardiac ventricular myocytes possess an extensive t-tubular system that facilitates the propagation of membrane potential across the cell body. It is well established that ionic currents at the restricted t-tubular space may lead to significant changes in ion concentrations, which, in turn, may affect t-tubular membrane potential. In this study, we used the whole cell patch-clamp technique to s...

We present a family of identities ‘cyclic sum formula’ and ‘sum formula’ for a version of multiple q-zeta star values. We also discuss a problem of q-generalization of shuffle products. Introduction and notation The classical idea of introducing an additional parameter to an expression or formula we wish to deal with, is quite fruitful in many situations. This may simplify a proof of the corres...

We give a simple representation of all elements in K1 of a Waldhausen category and prove relations between these representatives which hold in K1.
