We study double gamma ($\gamma\gamma$) decay nuclear matrix elements (NMEs) for a wide range of nuclei from titanium to xenon, and explore their relation neutrinoless double-beta ($0\nu\beta\beta$) NMEs. To favor the comparison, we focus on double-magnetic dipole transitions in final $\beta\beta$ nuclei, particular $\gamma\gamma$ isobaric analog initial state into ground state. For with equal-e...

Human atheromas accumulate extracellular matrix proteins such as collagen types I and III. We tested whether cytokines or growth factors produced by cells found in human atherosclerotic plaques alter collagen gene expression in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), which produce the blood vessel matrix. Interleukin-1 (IL-1, 1-10 ng/ml) modestly increased the synthesis of collagens I and III (me...

The aim of the present work is to introduce the concept of $lambda _{r}$-almost convergence of sequences. We define the spaces $fleft( lambda _{r}right) $ and $f_{0}left( lambda _{r}right) $ of $ lambda _{r}$-almost convergent and $lambda _{r}$-almost null sequences. We investigate some inclusion relations concerning those spaces with examples and we determine the $beta $- and $gamma $-duals of...
