Recall that a continuous function $fcolon Xto Y$ between Tychonoff spaces is proper if and only if the Stone extension $f^{beta}colon beta Xtobeta Y$ takes remainder to remainder, in the sense that $f^{beta}[beta X-X]subseteq beta Y-Y$. We introduce the notion of ``taking remainder to remainder" to frames, and, using it, we define a frame homomorphism $hcolon Lto M$ to be $beta$-proper, $lambd...

We consider the problem of estimating the scale parameter &beta of a rescaled F-distribution when &beta has a lower bounded constraint of the form &beta&gea, under the entropy loss function. An admissible minimax estimator of the scale parameter &beta, which is the pointwise limit of a sequence of Bayes estimators, is given. Also in the class of truncated linear estimators, the admissible estim...

background: the formalism recommended by task group 60 (tg-60) of the american association of physicists in medicine (aapm) is applicable for β sources. radioactive biocompatible and biodegradable 153sm glass seed without encapsulation is a β- emitter with a short half life and delivers a high dose rate to the tumor in the millimeter range. in this work the dosimetry parameters of the seed for ...

To understand the contribution of beta 1,4-galactosyltransferase (beta 4Gal-T)-1 to galactosylation in vivo, N-glycans of hepatic membrane glycoproteins and plasma glycoproteins from beta 4Gal-T1 wild-type (beta 4Gal-T1(+/+)) and beta 4Gal-T1 knockout mice were compared. Unexpectedly, glycoproteins from the knockout mice were found to express considerable amounts of sialylated, galactosylated N...

Despite increasing evidence for a pathogenetic role for the beta-amyloid precursor protein (beta APP) in Alzheimer disease, the physiological function of the protein remains unclear. The expression of the neural-specific isoform containing 695 amino acids, beta APP695, is consistent with a role for the protein in neuronal development. In this study, we analyzed the expression of beta APP during...

Achieving efficient heterologous protein production and secretion by Bacillus subtilis is an attractive prospect, although often disappointingly low yields are reached. The expression of detoxified Clostridium perfringens beta-toxin (beta-toxoid) is exemplary for this. Although beta-toxin can be efficiently expressed and secreted by Bacillus subtilis, the genetically detoxified, and industriall...

The high-affinity receptors for interleukin-3 (IL-3), GM-CSF, and IL-5 are composed of a ligand binding (alpha-) and a transducing (beta-) subunit. Two distinct transducing subunits (clones AIC2A and AIC2B) have been cloned from mouse, whereas in humans, only one (common) beta-subunit (beta c) has been found. A PCR-based cloning strategy was used to obtain a full-length cDNA sequence from rat m...

A series of Mox–Fe/beta catalysts with constant Fe and variable Mo content were synthesized and investigated for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx with NH3. It was found that the Mo0.2–Fe/beta catalyst exhibited excellent activity, N2 selectivity and preferable resistance to H2O and SO2. The Mox– Fe/beta catalysts were characterized by various analytical techniques. TEM and SEM images ...

let $gamma_{n,kappa}$ be the class of all graphs with $ngeq3$ vertices and $kappageq2$ vertex connectivity. denote by $upsilon_{n,beta}$ the family of all connected graphs with $ngeq4$ vertices and matching number $beta$ where $2leqbetaleqlfloorfrac{n}{2}rfloor$. in the classes of graphs $gamma_{n,kappa}$ and $upsilon_{n,beta}$, the elements having maximum augmented zagreb index are determined.
