The concepts of ∈-soft sets and q-soft sets in AG-groupoids are introduced and some related properties are investigated. In particular, we describe the relationships among ordinary fuzzy interior ideals and soft interior ideals over an AG-groupoid S. Moreover, we study the relation-ships among (∈, ∈ ∨q)fuzzy interior ideals, ( ) , q ∈∈∨ -fuzzy interior ideals, (α; β)-fuzzy interior ideals and s...

We consider Einstein hypersurfaces of warped products $$I\times _\omega {\mathbb {Q}}_\epsilon ^n,$$ where $$I\subset {R}}$$ is an open interval and $${\mathbb ^n$$ the simply connected space form dimension $$n\ge 2$$ constant sectional curvature $$\epsilon \in \{-1,0,1\}$$ . show that, for all $$c\in (resp. $$c>0$$ ), there exist rotational c in {H}}^n$$ {R}}^n$$ {S}}^n$$ provided that $$\omeg...

Tumor metastasis is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with breast cancer. It is critical to identify metastasis enabling genes and understand how they are responsible for inducing specific aspects of the metastatic phenotype to allow for improved clinical detection and management. Protein kinase C epsilon (PKC epsilon), a member of a family of serine/threonine protein kinas...

Ten horses (Equus caballus) were vaccinated with strain TC-83 Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis (VEE) virus vaccine. Febrile responses and leukopenia due to a reduction of lymphocytes and neutrophils were observed in all animals. Viremias were demonstrable in eight horses, with a maximum of 10(3.5) median tissue culture infectious dose units per ml of serum in two horses. Clinical illness wit...

BACKGROUND The Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE) virus replicon system was used to produce virus-like replicon particles (VRP) packaged with a number of different VEE-derived glycoprotein (GP) coats. The GP coat is believed to be responsible for the cellular tropism noted for VRP and it is possible that different VEE GP coats may have different affinities for cells. We examined VRP packaged ...

The purpose of this note is to obtain some properties of (∈,∈ ∨q)fuzzy bi-ideals in a Γ-semigroup in order to characterize regular and intra-regular Γ-semigroups. Keywords—Regular Γ-semigroup, belong to or quasi-coincident, (∈,∈ ∨q)-fuzzy subsemigroup, (∈,∈ ∨q)-fuzzy bi-ideals.

In this paper we have studied   q   , -fuzzy semiprime ideals in semigroups. We have characterized completely regular semigroups by the properties of their   q   , -fuzzy quasi ideals. Moreover we have characterized semigroups that are semilattices of groups by   q   , -fuzzy quasi ideals.

In this paper the concept of Q-fuzzification of ideals of Γ-semigroups has been introduced and some important properties have been investigated. A characterization of regular Γ-semigroup in terms of Q-fuzzy ideals has been obtained. Operator semigroups of a Γ-semigroup has been made to work by obtaining various relationships between Q-fuzzy ideals of a Γ-semigroup and that of its operator semig...

Specific and sensitive reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) assays were developed for the detection of eastern, western, and Venezuelan equine encephalitis viruses (EEE, WEE, and VEE, respectively). Tests for specificity included all known alphavirus species. The EEE-specific RT-PCR amplified a 464-bp region of the E2 gene exclusively from 10 different EEE strains from South and North America wit...

AIMS Tissue Doppler-derived indices of strain (epsilon) and strain rate (SR) have been developed to assess regional cardiac function. However, the effect of left ventricular (LV) size on epsilon and SR has not been studied in depth. The aim of this study was to assess to what extent heart size influence epsilon or SR. METHODS AND RESULTS In 21 anaesthetized pigs ranging from 12.5 to 70.0 kg, ...
