objectives: diabetes mellitus is associated with biochemical, physiological and pathological alterations in the liver. the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of hydroalcoholic extract of prangos ferulacea (l.) lindle (p.f) on changes in rats´ liver structure and serum activities of alanin and aspartate aminotransferases after alloxan injection. materials and methods: in this study...

The objective of the experiment was to determine the effectiveness of copper oxide wire particles (COWP) in pregnant ewes and safety to lambs. COWP have been used recently as an anthelmintic in small ruminants to overcome problems associated with nematode resistance to chemical dewormers. Doses of COWP (<or=4 g) have been used in lambs without clinical signs of copper toxicity. Use in pregnant ...

This work presents a quantitative framework for describing the overcompleteness of a large class of frames. It introduces notions of localization and approximation between two frames F = {fi}i∈I and E = {ej}j∈G (G a discrete abelian group), relating the decay of the expansion of the elements of F in terms of the elements of E via a map a : I → G. A fundamental set of equalities are shown betwee...

Let g be a continuous, compactly supported function on R such that the integer translates of g constitute a partition of unity. We show that the Gabor system (g, a, b), with window g and time-shift and frequency-shift parameters a, b > 0 has no lower frame bound larger than 0 if b = 2, 3, . . . and a > 0. In particular, (g, a, b) is not a Gabor frame if g is a continuous, compactly supported wa...

In this work we study families of pairs of window functions and lattices which lead to Gabor frames which all possess the same frame bounds. To be more precise, for every generalized Gaussian g, we will construct an uncountable family of lattices [Formula: see text] such that each pairing of g with some [Formula: see text] yields a Gabor frame, and all pairings yield the same frame bounds. On t...

We consider the frame property of the Gabor system G(g, α, β) = {eg(t − αm) : m,n ∈ Z} for the case of rational oversampling, i.e. α, β ∈ Q. A ’rational’ analogue of the Ron-Shen Gramian is constructed, and prove that for any odd window function g the system G(g, α, β) does not generate a frame if αβ = n−1 n . Special attention is paid to the first Hermite function h1(t) = te −πt .

&lrm;For a homogeneous spaces &lrm;$&lrm;G/H&lrm;$&lrm;, we show that the convolution on $L^1(G/H)$ is the same as convolution on $L^1(K)$, where $G$ is semidirect product of a closed subgroup $H$ and a normal subgroup $K $ of &lrm;$&lrm;G&lrm;$&lrm;. &lrm;Also we prove that there exists a one to one correspondence between nondegenerat $ast$-representations of $L^1(G/H)$ and representations of ...

Serum m-AST (mitochondrial isoenzyme of AST) activity in patients with acute myocardial infarction was determined quantitatively by a new immunological technique which is sensitive and easily available. All 31 patients with acute myocardial infarction showed abnormally high levels of serum m-AST (more than 5 KU/ml); the mean serum m-AST activity attained its peak (42.0 +/- 4.9 KU/ml) on the fir...
