In this paper, we introduce $rho$-altering $J$-type mappings in modular spaces. We prove some fixed point theorems for $rho$-altering and $rho$-altering $J$-type mappings in modular spaces. We also furnish illustrative examples to express relationship between these mappings. As a consequence, the results are applied to the existence of solution of an integral equation arising from an ODE ...

In this paper, we consider double sequence iteration processes for strongly $rho$-contractive mapping in modular space. It is proved, these sequences, convergence strongly to a fixed point of the strongly $rho$-contractive mapping.

The Rho family of small GTPases are essential during early embryonic development making it difficult to study their functions in adult animals. Using inducible transgenes expressing either a constitutively active version of the single C. elegans Rho ortholog, RHO-1, or an inhibitor of endogenous Rho (C3 transferase), we demonstrate multiple defects caused by altering Rho signaling in adult C. e...

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 ...

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...

The fim genetic switch in the chromosome of Escherichia coli K-12 is an invertible DNA element that harbors the promoter for transcription of the downstream fim structural genes and a transcription terminator that acts on the upstream fimE regulatory gene. Switches oriented appropriately for structural gene transcription also allow fimE mRNA to read through, whereas those in the opposite orient...

We use a discrete-time formulation of the asymmetric avalanche process (ASAP) [Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 084301 (2001)]] of p particles on a finite ring of N sites to obtain an exact expression for the average avalanche size as a function of toppling probabilities and particle density rho=p/N. By mapping the model onto driven interface problems, we find that the ASAP incorporates the annealed Kardar...

Rho family small GTPases serve as molecular switches in the regulation of diverse cellular functions, including actin cytoskeleton remodeling, cell migration, gene transcription, and cell proliferation. Importantly, Rho overexpression is frequently seen in many carcinomas. However, published studies have almost invariably used immortal or tumorigenic cell lines to study Rho GTPase functions and...

Allelic association between pairs of loci is derived in terms of the association probability rho as a function of recombination theta, effective population size N, linear systematic pressure v, and time t, predicting both rho(rt), the decrease of association from founders and rho(ct), the increase by genetic drift, with rho(t) = rho(rt) + rho(ct). These results conform to the Malecot equation, ...
