Glueballs remain an experimentally undiscovered expectation of QCD. Lattice QCD (As well as other theoretical approaches) predicts a spectrum glueballs, with the tensor (${J}^{PC}={2}^{++}$) glueball being second lightest, behind scalar glueball. Here, using chiral hadronic model, we compute decay ratios into various meson channels. We find to primarily two vector mesons, dominated by $\ensurem...

The rhodopsin gene (RHO) encodes a highly expressed G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) which is central to visual transduction in rod photoreceptors. A suite of recombinant 2/5 adeno-associated virus (AAV) RHO replacement vectors has been generated in an attempt to recapitulate endogenous rhodopsin levels from exogenously delivered AAV vectors in the retina of mice with a targeted disruption in ...

BACKGROUND Constriction of the ductus arteriosus (DA) is initiated at birth by inhibition of O2-sensitive K+ channels in DA smooth muscle cells. Subsequent membrane depolarization and calcium influx through L-type calcium channels initiates functional closure. We hypothesize that Rho-kinase activation is an additional mechanism that sustains DA constriction. METHODS AND RESULTS The effect of ...

We investigate asymptotic behavior of polynomials $$ Q_n(z) satisfying non-Hermitian orthogonality relations $$\begin{aligned} \int _\Delta s^kQ_n(s)\rho (s)\textrm{d}s =0, \quad k\in \{0,\ldots ,n-1\}, \end{aligned}$$ where \Delta is a Chebotarëv (minimal capacity) contour connecting three non-collinear points and \rho (s) Jacobi-type weight including possible power-type singularity at the cen...

binayak et al in [1] proved a fixed point of generalized kannan type-mappings in generalized menger spaces. in this paper we extend gen- eralized kannan-type mappings in generalized fuzzy metric spaces. then we prove a fixed point theorem of this kind of mapping in generalized fuzzy metric spaces. finally we present an example of our main result.

In atomic physics, the Hund's rule states that largest spin and orbital state is realized due to interplay of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) Coulomb interactions. Here, we show in ferromagnetic solids effective SOC magnetic moment can be dramatically enhanced by a factor $1/[1\ensuremath{-}(2{U}^{\ensuremath{'}}\ensuremath{-}U\ensuremath{-}{J}_{H}){\ensuremath{\rho}}_{0}]$, where $U$ ${U}^{\ensurema...

In the present paper, we prove some fixed point theorems by using non-decreasing mapping \(\kappa :\mathbb{R}^+\to \mathbb{R}^+\) known as altering distance function or control function, in context of \(S\)-metric space. Further, explore property \(P\) for these contractive mappings.

MOTIVATION Genes often regulate multiple traits. Identifying clusters of traits influenced by a common group of genes helps elucidate regulatory networks and can improve linkage mapping. METHODS We show that the Pearson correlation coefficient, rho L, between two LOD score profiles can, with high specificity and sensitivity, identify pairs of genes that have their transcription regulated by s...

In late gestation, enhanced myometrial contractility is mediated in part through increased Rho/Rho kinase. Since leptin, which is elevated in pregnancy and obesity, can directly depress myometrial function, we hypothesized that in leptin receptor-deficient mice, myometrial contractility would be greater in late pregnancy due to increased Rho/Rho kinase activity. To test this, we correlated RhoA...
