In their fundamental studies of the finite dimensional representations of associative algebras, Artin and Procesi proved that the primitive ideals corresponding to irreducible n-dimensional representations (for fixed n, over an algebraically closed field) can be homeomorphically parameterized by a locally closed subset of the maximal spectrum of a suitably chosen affine commutative trace ring. ...

known as the left big finitistic projective dimension of A, is finite. Here pdM denotes the projective dimension of M . Unfortunately, this number is not known to be finite even if A is a finite dimensional algebra over a field, where, indeed, its finiteness is a celebrated conjecture. On the other hand, for such an algebra, finite flat certainly implies finite projective dimension, simply beca...

In this study, human embryonic kidney (HEK)-293 cells stably expressing human, Drosophila, or a chimeric serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) transporter (hSERT, dSERT, and H(1-281)D(282-476)H(477-638), respectively) were used to explore the ability of two libraries of structurally distinct psychostimulants to inhibit 5-HT uptake. One library consisted of 3-phenyltropane analogs, whereas the s...

We describe a flexible multisite microelectrode for insect flight biasing using neural stimulation. The electrode is made of two layers of polyimide (PI) with gold sandwiched in between in a split-ring geometry. The split-ring design in conjunction with the flexibility of the PI allows for a simple insertion process and provides good attachment between the electrode and ventral nerve cord of th...

Agricultural workers are exposed to folpet, but biomonitoring data are limited. Phthalimide (PI), phthalamic acid (PAA), and phthalic acid (PA) are the ring metabolites of this fungicide according to animal studies, but they have not yet been measured in human urine as metabolites of folpet, only PA as a metabolite of phthalates. The objective of this study was thus to develop a reliable gas ch...

the concept of fuzzy soft γ-ring is introduced; and some properties of fuzzy soft γ-rings are given. then the definitions of fuzzy soft γ-ideals are proposed and some of their theories are considered.

The zero set of a linear recurrence is {m | xm = 0}, where xm is the m-th term. For a linear recurrence over the complex numbers C it is classical that xm = P1(m) · α1 + · · ·+ Pd(m) ·αd where P1(m), . . . , Pd(m) are polynomials in m, and α1, . . . , αd are the distinct zeros of the recurrence’s characteristic polynomial. We show that if the zero set of a linear recurrence over C is infinite, ...

Antiarrhythmics, anticonvulsants, and local anesthetics target voltage-gated sodium channels, decreasing excitability of nerve and muscle cells. Channel inhibition by members of this family of cationic, hydrophobic drugs relies on the presence of highly conserved aromatic residues in the pore-lining S6 segment of the fourth homologous domain of the channel. We tested whether channel inhibition ...

The effects of potassium ion on the nested allostery of GroEL are due to increases in the affinity for nucleotide. Both positive allosteric transitions, TT-TR and TR-RR, occur at lower [ATP] as [K(+)] is increased. Negative cooperativity in the double-ringed system is also due to an increase in the affinity of the trans ring for the product ADP as [K(+)] is increased. Consequently, (i) rates of...
