Let $(R,\mathfrak m)$ be a commutative Noetherian regular local ring of dimension $d$ and $I$ be a proper ideal of $R$ such that ${\rm mAss}_R(R/I)={\rm Assh}_R(I)$. It is shown that the $R$-module $H^{{\rm ht}(I)}_I(R)$ is $I$-cofinite if and only if
${\rm cd}(I,R)={\rm ht}(I)$. Also we present a sufficient condition under which this condition the $R$-module $H^i_I(R)$ is finitely generated if and only if it vanishes., Jafar A'zami, Naser Pourreza., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
We recently reported that in vitro Cognac polyphenolic compounds (CPC) induce NO-dependent vasorelaxant effects and stimulate cardiac function. In the present study, we aim to investigate the effect of CPC on both nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide anions (O2-) production in cultured human endothelial cells. In addition, its effect on the bradykinin (BK)-induced NO production was also tested. The role and sources of O2- in the concomitant effect of BK plus CPC were pharmacologically determined. NO and O2- signals were measured using electron paramagnetic resonance technique using specific spin trappings. Both, CPC and BK induced an in crease in NO production in human endothelial cells. The combination of both further enhanced NO release. The capacity of CPC plus BK to increase NO signal was blunted by the NO synthase inhibitor, NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester, and was enhanced in the presence either of superoxide dismutase or catalase. Moreover, CPC plus BK response was greater after inhibition of either NADPH oxidase by apocynin or xanthine oxidase by allopurinol but it was not affected by rotenone. CPC did not affect O2- level either alone or after its increase upon lipopolysaccharide treatment. Finally, the capacity of BK alone to increase NO was enhanced either by apocynin or allopurinol. Altogether, these data demonstrate that CPC is able to directly increase NO production without affecting O2- and enhances the BK-induced NO production in human endothelial cells. The data highlight the ability of BK to stimulate not only NADPH oxidase- but also xanthine oxidase-inhibitor sensitive mechanisms that reduce its efficiency in increasing NO either alone or in the presence of CPC. These results bring pharmacological evidence for vascular protection by CPC via its potentiating effect of BK response in terms of endothelial NO release., A. Sall Diallo, M. Sarr, H. A. Mostefai, N.

Celestial pole offsets are the displacements between the observed position of the Earth’s spin axis in space and its position predicted by the adopted models of precession and nutation. At present, the models are IAU2006 and IAU 2000, respectively. The celestial pole offsets are regularly measured by Very Long-Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), the observations being coordinated and published by the International VLBI Service for Geodesy and Astrometry (IVS). These offsets contain a mixture of several effects: the unpredictable free term, Free Core Nutation (FCN) that is due to the presence of the outer fluid core of the Earth, forced motions excited by the motions in the atmosphere and oceans, and also imperfections of the adopted precession-nutation models. The geophysical excitations are also available, as determined by several atmospheric and oceanographic services. The aim of this paper is to compare the time series of these integrated excitations with the observed celestial pole offsets and estimate the level of coherence between them., Cyril Ron and Jan Vondrák., and Obsahuje bibliografii
Subject matter of investigations being carried out at the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen and described in this chapter is the objective evaluation of possible coherence of EEG signals and signals of handwriting generated by special developed BiSP pen. The influence of nicotine, alcohol and light drugs on the vigility and activity of human operators was investigated and evaluated; the results of the experiments being realized during the last five months are summarized in the last paragraph.
In this paper we compute topological invariants for some configuration spaces of complex projective spaces. We shall describe Sullivan models for these configuration spaces.
Hom-Lie algebra (superalgebra) structure appeared naturally in $q$-deformations, based on $\sigma $-derivations of Witt and Virasoro algebras (superalgebras). They are a twisted version of Lie algebras (superalgebras), obtained by deforming the Jacobi identity by a homomorphism. In this paper, we discuss the concept of $\alpha ^k$-derivation, a representation theory, and provide a cohomology complex of Hom-Lie superalgebras. Moreover, we study central extensions. As application, we compute derivations and the second cohomology group of a twisted ${\rm osp}(1,2)$ superalgebra and $q$-deformed Witt superalgebra.
The aim of this note, which raises more questions than it answers, is to study natural operations acting on the cohomology of various types of algebras. It contains a lot of very surprising partial results and examples.
In this paper we first prove some coincidence and fixed point theorems for nonlinear hybrid generalized contractions on metric spaces. Secondly, using the concept of an asymptotically regular sequence, we give some fixed point theorems for Kannan type multi-valued mappings on metric spaces. Our main results improve and extend several known results proved by other authors.
