The shape space considered in this article consists of surfaces embedded $$\mathbb {R}^3$$ , that are decorated with curves. It is a special case the Fréchet manifolds nonlinear flags, i.e. nested submanifolds fixed type. gauge invariant elastic metric on involves mean curvature and normal deformation, sum difference principal curvatures $$\kappa _1,\kappa _2$$ . proposed metrics curves involve...

Pd(II) complexes in which 2-pyridyldiphenylphosphine (Ph(2)Ppy) chelates the Pd(II) centre have been prepared and characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and by X-ray crystallographic analysis. trans-[Pd(kappa(1)-Ph(2)Ppy)(2)Cl(2)] is transformed into [Pd(kappa(2)-Ph(2)Ppy)(kappa(1)-Ph(2)Ppy)Cl]Cl by the addition of a few drops of methanol to dichloromethane solutions, and into [Pd(kappa...

PURPOSE To retrospectively evaluate the interobserver agreement of radiologists who used the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) lexicon to characterize and categorize ultrasonographic (US) features of breast masses. MATERIALS AND METHODS No institutional review board approval or patient consent was required. Five breast radiologists retrospectively independently evaluated 267 ...

Receptor binding studies and electrophysiological studies demonstrated the existence of at least two kappa opioid receptors, which have been designated kappa-1 and kappa-2. Several agonists and antagonists are selective for the kappa-1 receptor whereas no known ligands are selective for the kappa-2 receptor. In this study, the kappa opioid GR89,696 was tested in the guinea pig hippocampal slice...

NF-kappa B is an important transcription factor required for T cell proliferation and other immunological functions. The NF-kappa B1 gene encodes a 105-kD protein that is the precursor of the p50 component of NF-kappa B. Previously, we and others have demonstrated that NF-kappa B regulates the NF-kappa B1 gene. In this manuscript we have investigated the molecular mechanisms by which T cell lin...

More than 80% of the total milk protein contains caseins that are to forms α-s1, α-s2, β-casein and kappa casein. Kappa casein is smaller than other milk proteins but due to have a role in size and stability of micelles. The present study describes polymorphism of kappa casein gene. This is the first study of kappa casein gene polymorphism in Najdi cattle of Iran. We used the polymerase chain r...

We continue our study of maps transforming high-dimensional complicated objects into squares stationary sets. Previously, we proved that many such transformations exist in ZFC, and here address the consistency strongest conceivable transformations. Along way, obtain new results on Shelah's coloring principle $Pr_1$. For $\kappa$ inaccessible, prove $Pr_1(\kappa,\kappa,\kappa,\kappa)$. successor...
