We introduce a natural extension of Adin, Brenti, and Roichman’s major-index statistic nmaj on signed permutations (Adv. Appl. Math. 27, (2001), 210−244) to wreath products of a cyclic group with the symmetric group. We derive “insertion lemmas” which allow us to give simple bijective proofs that our extension has the same distribution as another statistic on wreath products introduced by Adin ...

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz), although native to Brazil, is still underutilized, especially when it comes to using its aerial part. In order to study the potential of the cassava plant for use as animal feed, the present work evaluated the characteristics of the aerial part of cassava when submitted to the processes of ensiling and haymaking. Treatments consisted of: aerial part of the pl...

During the last two decades, numerous observed data obtained by various physical techniques, also supported molecular modeling approaches, have highlighted structuring features of tripeptides, as well their aggregation properties. Herein, we focus on structural dynamics four trimers, i.e., Gly-Gly-Gly, Gly-Ala-Gly, Ala-Ala-Ala and Ala-Phe-Ala, in an aqueous environment. Density functional theor...

Submitted for the DFD05 Meeting of The American Physical Society Hole Dynamics in Polymer Langmuir Films J. ADIN MANN, JR., JAMES ALEXANDER, Case Western Reserve University, ANDREW BERNOFF, Harvey Mudd College, LU ZOU, ELIZABETH MANN, Kent State University — We develop a model for the closing of a gaseous hole in a liquid domain within a two-dimensional fluid layer, a Langmuir film, coupled to ...

background: cryopreservation of pre-antral follicles is a hopeful technique to preserve female fertility. the aim of the present study was to evaluate reactive oxygen species (ros) and total antioxidant capacity (tac) levels of mouse vitrified pre-antral follicles in the presence of alpha lipoic acid (ala). methods: isolated pre-antral follicles (140–150 µm in diameter) were divided into vitrif...

Klasik Türk edebiyatında mesneviler şairlerin söz söylemedeki ustalıklarını göstermek istedikleri sahalardan biri olmuştur. Şairler, muhtelif konularda anlatmak istediklerini bu nazım şekli vesilesiyle ortaya koymuşlardır. Bu alanda özellikle sahibi olmak isteyenler beş mesnevi yazarak hamse olmuşlardır. Kanunî Sultan Süleyman devri şairlerinden olan Mirzâ da şeklinden faydalanarak suçsuzluğunu...

Introduction: This study evaluated the effects of pretreatments with melatonin (MT), and Alpha Lipoic acid (ALA) on lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) -induced serum levels of creatinine (Cr), urea (U), uric acid (Ua) and kidney levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH) and catalase (CAT) in male albino rats. Effects of treatments with MT and ALA were also evaluate...
