Apolipoprotein E3 (apoE3) is thought to protect against atherosclerosis by enhancing reverse cholesterol transport. However, apoE3 also has cholesterol-independent effects that contribute to its anti-atherogenic properties. These include altering extracellular matrix protein synthesis and inhibiting vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation. Both of these cholesterol-independent effects result ...

In this work, we define the notion of an algebraic distance in algebraic cone metric spaces defined by Niknam et al. [A. Niknam, S. Shamsi Gamchi and M. Janfada, Some results on TVS-cone normed spaces and algebraic cone metric spaces, Iranian J. Math. Sci. Infor. 9 (1) (2014), 71--80] and introduce some its elementary properties. Then we prove the existence and uniqueness of fixed point for a B...

Inspired by the LHCb's newest observation of two new excited $\Xi_b^0$ states, we systematically study strong decays low-lying $\lambda$- and $\rho$-modes $1D$-wave $\Xi_{b}$ $\Xi^{'}_{b}$ baryons using chiral quark model within $j$-$j$ coupling scheme. Based on measured masses decay properties $\Xi_{b}(6327)^{0}$ $\Xi_{b}(6333)^{0}$, explain states as $\lambda$-mode $1D$ with $ J^{P}=3/2^{+} J...

Background: The equation of state (EOS) $E(\ensuremath{\rho},\ensuremath{\delta})$ neutron-rich nucleonic matter at density $\ensuremath{\rho}$ and isospin asymmetry $\ensuremath{\delta}$ can be approximated as the sum symmetric nuclear (SNM) EOS ${E}_{0}(\ensuremath{\rho})$ a power series in ${\ensuremath{\delta}}^{2}$ with coefficient ${E}_{\text{sym}}(\ensuremath{\rho})$ its first term so-ca...

In this paper we introduce a new model and develop an estimation strategy to analyze mortality data. The model we dealt with has the specific structure E[log qij] = mu + alpha i + beta j + rho ij subject to the linear restrictions sigma i alpha i/sigma 2i = sigma j beta j = sigma i pij/sigma 2i = sigma j rho ij = 0 for any i and j; here, qij denotes the mortality for the jth period category and...

We study the $\ensuremath{\rho}$ and $\ensuremath{\omega}$ meson contribution to radiative decays $X(3872)\ensuremath{\rightarrow}J/\ensuremath{\psi}\ensuremath{\pi}\ensuremath{\gamma}$ $X(3872)\ensuremath{\rightarrow}J/\ensuremath{\psi}\ensuremath{\pi}\ensuremath{\pi}\ensuremath{\gamma}$. The is dominated by meson. As for $X(3872)\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}J/\ensuremath{\...

OBJECTIVE To explore the different influences of walking, running and stair activity on knee articular cartilage with T1 rho and T2 mapping sequences. MATERIALS AND METHODS MRI (3.0-T) scans of the right knee were performed in twenty-three young healthy adults immediately after 30 minutes of rest, walking, running and stair activity respectively. Articular cartilage was quantitatively assesse...

Motivated by the study of Macdonald polynomials, J. Haglund and A. Wilson introduced a nonsymmetric polynomial analogue chromatic quasisymmetric function called chromatic polynomial Dyck graph. We give positive expansion for this in basis fundamental slide polynomials using recent work Assaf-Bergeron on flagged <mml:math xmlns:mml="ht...
