In this paper, we introduce a pair of generalized proximal contraction mappings and prove the existence of a unique best proximity point for such mappings in a complete metric space. We provide examples to illustrate our result. Our result extends some of the results in the literature.

In this paper we study the concept of ph-biatness ofa Banach algebra A, where ph is a continuous homomorphism on A.We prove that if ph is a continuous epimorphism on A and A hasa bounded approximate identity and A is ph- biat, then A is ph-amenable. In the case where ph is an isomorphism on A we showthat the ph- amenability of A implies its ph-biatness.

BACKGROUND Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) depresses contractility in left ventricular myocytes. Its expression is upregulated in pressure-overloaded hypertrophied hearts; however, the effects of ANP on contractility in hypertrophied myocytes are not known. Our aims were (1) to examine the cellular mechanisms of this depression in contractility in normal myocytes and (2) to test the hypothesis...

The purpose of this paper is to establish some fixed point results for a class generalized $(\phi, \psi)$-weak contraction mapping in partially ordered $b$-metric space. This necessarily have unique under relation Also, the common and coincidence points self mappings are presented. These generalize extend an existing literature. Some illustrations given at end support results.

Hypocapnia constricts peripheral airways in vivo. This study investigated the role of airway smooth muscle in this phenomenon and the mechanism of hypocapnia-induced contraction in vitro. Isometric tension, intracellular pH (pHi) and intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) were measured in porcine airway smooth muscles suspended in organ baths in the presence of 5% or 0% CO2. In trac...

Let $mathcal {A} $ and $mathcal {B} $ be C$^*$-algebras. Assume that $mathcal {A}$ is of real rank zero and unital with unit $I$ and $k>0$ is a real number. It is shown that if $Phi:mathcal{A} tomathcal{B}$ is an additive map preserving $|cdot|^k$ for all normal elements; that is, $Phi(|A|^k)=|Phi(A)|^k $ for all normal elements $Ainmathcal A$, $Phi(I)$ is a projection, and there exists a posit...
