The convex PBW-type Lyndon basis for two-parameter quantum group Ur,s (F4)is given. Assume that rs−1 is a primitive ℓ-th root of unity with ℓ odd, then the restricted $${\mathfrak{u}_{r,s}}({F_4})$$ as quotient Ur,s(F4) pointed, and Drinfel’d double structure under certain condition. All Hopf isomorphisms are determined, necessary sufficient condition to be ribbon algebra singled out by describ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to analyze the potential association of the plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) with the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components in two German population-based studies. METHODS We selected 2830 and 2901 participants (31-80 years) from the follow-ups of the Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP)-1 and the Cooperative Health Research in the Region of Aug...

BACKGROUND The development of new ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs) has become one of the most promising fields in ultrasound medicine. This paper evaluates a new self-made contrast agent enhancement effect developed to study the fibrotic stages of the liver in perfusion models in vivo. METHODS We constructed experimental models of hepatic fibrosis involving five stages from F0 to F4 via admi...

Objective:The present study has been designed to investigate efficacy Of OG-1 cardioactive principle from chloroform extract of Ocimum gratissimum (Linn.) Leaves on ischaemia and reperfusion-Induced myocardial injury. Methods: Various extracts of O. gratissimum (Linn.) leaves were prepared viz. Pet.ether, chloroform, acetone and methanol. Among all the extracts chloroform extract reduce myocard...

Virulence plasmids of 68 ETEC isolates from piglets belonging to different pathotypes and six ETEC isolates from calves with pathotypes typical of porcine ETEC were identified with seven virulence probes for the heat-stable (STa and STb) and heat-labile (LT) enterotoxins, for the F4, F5, F6, and F41 fimbrial adhesion subunit, and also with five Rep probes for the RepFIA and RepFIB basic replico...

c-Maf, which is one of the large Maf transcription factors, can bind to Maf recognition element (MARE) and activates transcription of target genes. Although c-Maf is expressed in macrophages and directly regulates the expression of interleukin-10, detailed information regarding its function in the null mutant phenotype of tissue macrophages remain unknown. In this study, we demonstrated that c-...

Facebook’s corpus of photos, videos, and other Binary Large OBjects (BLOBs) that need to be reliably stored and quickly accessible is massive and continues to grow. As the footprint of BLOBs increases, storing them in our traditional storage system, Haystack, is becoming increasingly inefficient. To increase our storage efficiency, measured in the effective-replication-factor of BLOBs, we exami...
