Let m ≥ 0 be the smallest integer such that S ∩ Ti−a+(m−1)(b−a) = Ø or i+b+m(b−a) ≥ a+c. If S∩Ti−a+(m−1)(b−a) = Ø, let i2 = i−a+(m−1)(b−a). Otherwise, let i2 = i+b+m(b−a). If it is the former case, then m ≥ 1 and i2 ∈ I (since i + b + (m− 1)(b− a) < a + c, so i2 = i− a + (m− 1)(b− a) < c− b = a). We now show that if it is the latter case, then i2 ∈ U . Assume i2 = i + b + m(b− a). Then i + b + ...

The specialty of radiation therapy has increased in complexity over the years, yet as technology improves, the goal of improving outcomes while decreasing toxicity remains critical. Malignant gliomas remain among the most devastating of all malignancies, yet as conventional treatments (surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy) have become optimized overall survival has improved. The underlying mole...

We hypothesize tha t prostacyclin (PG I2) is an anti-atherosclerotic hormone and that atherosclerosis develops when endothelial P G I2 synthetase is inhibited by lipid peroxides. Serum lipid peroxides occur in low-density lipoproteins (LDL). LDL lipid peroxides are elevated in common types of hyperlipoproteinaemias, P G I2 generation is im paired in atherosclerosis, and infusion of synthetic P ...

The necessity of the inclusion second invariant left Cauchy-Green deformation tensor B, namely I2, in strain energy function W rubber-like materials is analysed. Universal relationships that underline such are revisited, and experimental data examined to establish trends variation ?W/?I2. Corroborated by established trends, we consider (meso)structural arguments devise a plausible approach for ...

We report a new type of photofragment caging reaction that is only possible because of the strong solvent-induced perturbation of the inherent electronic structure of the chromophore. The photoexcitation of I2 2 at 395 nm promotes it to a dissociative state correlating with I1I*(P1/2), the only near-ultraviolet dissociation channel for unsolvated I2 . In I2 ~CO2!n and I2 ~OCS!n clusters, intera...

BACKGROUND We explored the role that inhibitory heterotrimeric G-proteins play in ventricular arrhythmia. METHODS AND RESULTS Mice with global genetic deletion of Galpha(i2) [Galpha(i2) (-/-)] were studied and found, based on telemetry, to have a prolonged QT interval on surface ECG when awake. In vivo electrophysiology studies revealed that the Galpha(i2) (-/-) mice have a reduced ventricula...

Let i1 ≥ i2 ≥ i3 ≥ 1 be integers. An L(i1, i2, i3)-labelling of a graph G = (V, E) is a mapping φ : V → {0, 1, 2, . . .} such that |φ(u)− φ(v)| ≥ it for any u, v ∈ V with d(u, v) = t, t = 1, 2, 3, where d(u, v) is the distance in G between u and v. The integer φ(v) is called the label assigned to v under φ, and the difference between the largest and the smallest labels is called the span of φ. ...

We report the dispersed fluorescence spectra of the linear and the previously well-studied T-shaped isomers of Ar–I2 following B←X optical excitation for vpump516– 26, below the I2 dissociation limit. The linear isomer has a continuum excitation spectrum. For excitation at the highest pumping energy (vpump526), the product vibrational state distribution is nearly identical to that observed for ...
