Dynamical Systems on Hilbert C*-Modules

We investigate the generalized derivations and show that every generalized derivation on a simple Hilbert $C^*$-module either is closable or has a dense range. We also describe dynamical systems on a full Hilbert $C^*$-module ${\mathcal M}$ over a $C^*$-algebra ${\mathcal A}$ as a one-parameter group of unitaries on ${\mathcal M}$ and prove that if $\alpha: \R\to U({\mathcal M})$ is a dynamical system, where $U({\mathcal M})$ denotes the set of all unitary operator on ${\mathcal M}$, then we can correspond a $C^*$-dynamical system $\alpha^{'}$ on ${\mathcal A}$ such that if $\delta$ and $d$ are the infinitesimal generators of $\alpha$ and $\alpha^{'}$ respectively, then $\delta$ is a $d$-derivation.Comment: 7 pages, minor changes, to appear in Bull.

The Effect of Adiponectin on Osteonectin Gene Expression by Oxidized Low Density Lipoprotein-Treated Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells

Osteonectin is a bone-associated protein involved in vascular calcification. Adiponectin may protect against cardiovascular disease but possible effects on vascular calcification have been poorly studied. The aim of this study was to investigate the modulatory effect of adiponectin on oxidized low density lipoprotein (oxLDL)-induced expression of osteonectin in human aorta vascular smooth muscle cells (HA/VSMCs). HA/VSMCs were cultured in F12K media and then treated with oxLDL (100 mu g/mL) in the presence or absence of adoponectin (5 mu g/mL) for 24 and 48 hours. mRNA expression and protein level of osteonectin were determined by quantitative real-time PCR and western blot analysis, respectively. After exposure to oxLDL, osteonectin expression increased 1.62 +/- 0.23- and 6.62 +/- 0.48-fold after 24 and 48 hours respectively compared to the control. Adiponectin increased oxLDL-induced osteonectin expression in a time-dependent manner after 24 and 48 hours (3.24 +/- 0.39- and 24.93 +/- 2.15-fold, respectively). Western blotting confirmed that osteonectin protein was upregulated by adiponectin. Our data suggest that OxLDL might cause the increase of osteonectin expression both at mRNA and protein level. This upregulation is intensified by adiponectin

Generalized strictly periodic scheduling analysis, resource optimization, and implementation of adaptive streaming applications

This thesis focuses on addressing four research problems in designing embedded streaming systems. Embedded streaming systems are those systems thatprocess a stream of input data coming from the environment and generate a stream of output data going into the environment. For many embeddedstreaming systems, the timing is a critical design requirement, in which the correct behavior depends on both the correctness of output data and on the time at which the data is produced. An embedded streaming system subjected to such a timing requirement is called a real-time system. Some examples of real-time embedded streaming systems can be found in various autonomous mobile systems, such as planes, self-driving cars, and drones. To handle the tight timing requirements of such real-time embedded streaming systems, modern embedded systems have been equipped with hardware platforms, the so-called Multi-Processor Systems-on-Chip (MPSoC), that contain multiple processors, memories, interconnections, and other hardware peripherals on a single chip, to benefit from parallel execution. To efficiently exploit the computational capacity of an MPSoC platform, a streaming application which is going to be executed on the MPSoC platform must be expressed primarily in a parallel fashion, i.e., the application is represented as a set of parallel executing and communicating tasks. Then, the main challenge is how to schedule the tasks spatially, i.e., task mapping, and temporally, i.e., task scheduling, on the MPSoC platform such that all timing requirements are satisfied while making efficient utilization of available resources (e.g, processors, memory, energy, etc.) on the platform. Another challenge is how to implement and run the mapped and scheduled application tasks on the MPSoC platform. This thesis proposes several techniques to address the aforementioned two challenges.NWOComputer Systems, Imagery and Medi

Evaluation of medical science staff awareness of factors causing high blood pressure and its complications in Yasouj year 2017

Introduction: Blood pressure is the force per unit area of the blood vessel wall is entered and measured in millimeters of mercury systolic and diastolic pressure, and is therefore expressed. Various risk factors that can be a precursor to hypertension, such as poor nutrition and highcalorie foods and salty, high blood pressure, family history, gender, age, BMI is increasing. Early symptoms include high blood pressure, dizziness, redness of the face, and headache, which, if not treated promptly, can damage the kidneys, eyes, or lead to stroke and stroke and ultimately cause death. The most important factors affecting high blood pressure are age, genetic background and food. In this study, we studied the factors affecting high blood pressure and its complications among staff members of Yasouj University of Medical Sciences

Chelating and Bridging Roles of 2-(2-Pyridyl)benzimidazole and Bis(diphenylphosphino)acetylene in Stabilizing a Cyclic Tetranuclear Platinum(II) Complex.

The reaction of complex [Pt(Me)(DMSO)(pbz)], 1, (pbz = 2-(2-pyridyl)benzimidazolate) with [PtMe(Cl)(DMSO)2], B, followed by addition of bis(diphenylphosphino)acetylene (dppac), gave the novel tetranuclear platinum complex [Pt4Me4(μ-dppac)2(pbz)2Cl2], 2, bearing both the pbz and dppac ligands. In this structure, the pbz ligands are both chelating and bridging to stabilize the tetraplatinum framework. The tetranuclear Pt(II) complex was fully characterized by NMR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, and mass spectrometry, and its electronic structure was investigated and supported by DFT calculations

Unitarily invariant norm inequalities for operators

We present several operator and norm inequalities for Hilbert space operators. In particular, we prove that if $A_{1},A_{2},...,A_{n}\in {\mathbb B}({\mathscr H})$, then $$|||A_{1}A_{2}^{*}+A_{2}A_{3}^{*}+...+A_{n}A_{1}^{*}|||\leq|||\sum_{i=1}^{n}A_{i}A_{i}^{*}|||,$$ for all unitarily invariant norms. We also show that if $A_{1},A_{2},A_{3},A_{4}$ are projections in ${\mathbb B}({\mathscr H})$, then &&|||(\sum_{i=1}^{4}(-1)^{i+1}A_{i})\oplus0\oplus0\oplus0|||&\leq&|||(A_{1}+|A_{3}A_{1}|)\oplus (A_{2}+|A_{4}A_{2}|)\oplus(A_{3}+|A_{1}A_{3}|)\oplus(A_{4}+|A_{2}A_{4}|)||| for any unitarily invariant norm.Comment: 10 pages, Accepted pape

A Multiband OFDMA Heterogeneous Network for Millimeter Wave 5G Wireless Applications

Ieee Access, 4, 5640-5648. doi:10.1109/access.2016.2604364Emerging fifth generation (5G) wireless networks require massive bandwidth in higher frequency bands, extreme network densities, and flexibility of supporting multiple wireless technologies in order to provide higher data rates and seamless coverage. It is expected that the utilization of the large bandwidth in the millimeter-wave (mmWave) band and deployment of heterogeneous networks (HetNets) will help address the data rate requirements of 5G networks. However, high pathloss and shadowing in the mmWave frequency band, strong interference in the HetNets due to massive network densification, and coordination of various air interfaces are challenges that must be addressed. In this paper, we consider a relay based multiband orthogonal frequency division multiple access HetNet in which mmWave small cells are deployed within the service area of macro cells. In particular, we attempt to exploit the distinct propagation characteristics of mmWave bands (i.e., 60 GHz-the V-band and 70-80 GHz the E-band) and the long term evolution band to maximize overall data rate of the network via efficient resource allocation. The problem is solved using a modified dual decomposition approach and then a low complexity greedy solution based on the iterative activity selection algorithm is presented. Simulation results show that the proposed approach outperforms conventional schemes
