in the present paper, we introduce the sequence space [{l_p}(e,delta) = left{ x = (x_n)_{n = 1}^infty : sum_{n = 1}^infty left|  sum_{j in {e_n}} x_j - sum_{j in e_{n + 1}} x_jright| ^p < infty right},] where $e=(e_n)$ is a partition of finite subsets of the positive integers and $pge 1$. we investigate its topological properties and inclusion relations. moreover, we consider the problem of fin...

the purpose of this study is to determine spatial dependency pattern of systematic risk of dry land wheat production in iran, using spatial autoregressive models. to this end, spatial weighted contiguity matrix was constructed based on the delaunay triangularization method, and correlation coefficient among these neighbors were estimated using spatial autoregressive models. in addition, the rol...

a matrix $pintextmd{c}^{ntimes n}$ is called a generalized reflection matrix if $p^{h}=p$ and $p^{2}=i$‎. ‎an $ntimes n$‎ ‎complex matrix $a$ is said to be a reflexive (anti-reflexive) matrix with respect to the generalized reflection matrix $p$ if $a=pap$ ($a=-pap$)‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎we introduce two iterative methods for solving the pair of matrix equations $axb=c$ and $dxe=f$ over reflexiv...

matrix metalloproteinases (mmps) are a family of neutral proteinases that are important in normal development, cellular differentiation or migration, angiogenesis, neurogenesis, wound repair, and a wide range of pathological processes such as oxidative stress and neuroinflammation. mmps have been demonstrated to increase the permeability of the blood–brain barrier (bbb) by degrading the compone...

Background & Aims: Atherosclerosis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Adiponectin reducesthe risk of heart disease, and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) is involved in the formation and development of atherosclerotic plaque. The aim of this study was the investigation of the effect of adiponectin on MMP-9 gene expression. It seems this hormone can reduce the risk of atherosclerosis ...

One of the major criticisms of probabilistic risk assessment is that the requisite input distributions are often not available. Several approaches to this problem have been suggested, including creating a library of standard empirically fitted distributions, employing maximum entropy criteria to synthesize distributions from a priori constraints, and even using ‘default’ inputs such as the tria...
