By considering a certain univalent function in the open unit disk 𝕌, that maps 𝕌 onto a strip domain, we introduce a new class of analytic and close-to-convex functions by means of a certain non-homogeneous Cauchy-Euler-type differential equation. We determine the coefficient bounds for functions in this new class. Relevant connections of some of the results obtained with those in earlier works are also provided.

In this paper we introduce a new formulation of symmetric homogeneous bivariate means that depends on the variation of a given continuous strictly increasing function on (0, ${\infty}$). It turns out that this class of means includes a lot of known bivariate means among them the arithmetic mean, the harmonic mean, the geometric mean, the logarithmic mean as well as the first and second Seiffert means. Using this new formulation we introduce a lot of new bivariate means and derive some mean-inequalities.

Dendritic cells (DCs) play an essential role in a variety of immune reactions involving $CD4^+$ T cells and have been used to enhance tumor-specific immune responses. Immunosuppression in patients with cancer includes the downregulation of function and number of DCs. Although DCs have been studied, the apoptosis of Des induced by anticancer drugs for chemotherapy remains largely uncharacterized. This study demonstrated that GM-CSF protects DCs from 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) or mitomycin C-induced apoptosis. After 6 - 10 days culture, DCs were characterized by specific surface marker, CD11c and MHC class II. MTT assay revealed that GM-CSF significantly enhanced the viability of DCs treated with 5-FU or mitomycin C. The percentage of dead cells of DCs was determined by cell size using FACScan and GM-CSF was clearly effective. However, GM-CSF did not increase the expression of MHC class II on viable DCs gated, suggesting that GM-CSF may differentially regulate critical factors involved in the function of DCs. For the quantitative analysis of apoptosis, annexin V-FITC staining was performed. 5-FU induced the apoptosis of DCs and GM-CSF significantly protects DCs from 5-FU-induced apoptosis. Taken together, the results in this study that GM-CSF has an anti-apoptosis effect on DCs may provide patients with cancer with clinical benefits to overcome the immunosuppression induced by the decrease of number and functional insufficiency of DCs.

In this paper, we investigate the problem of transcendental entire functions that share two values with one of their derivative. Let f be a transcendental entire function, n and k be two positive integers. If $f^n-Q_1$ and $(f^n)^{(k)}-Q_2$ share 0 CM, and $n{\geq}k+1$, then $(f^n)^{(k)}{\equiv}{\frac{Q_2}{Q_1}}f^n$. Furthermore, if $Q_1=Q_2$, then $f=ce^{\frac{\lambda}{n}z}$, where $Q_1$, $Q_2$ are polynomials with $Q_1Q_2{\not\equiv}0$, and c, ${\lambda}$ are non-zero constants such that ${\lambda}^k=1$. This result shows that the Conjecture given by W. $L{\ddot{u}}$, Q. Li and C. Yang [On the transcendental entire solutions of a class of differential equations, Bull. Korean Math. Soc. 51 (2014), no. 5, 1281-1289.] is true. Also we exhibit some examples to show that the conditions of our result are the best possible.

In this paper we show that for each divisor class c of degree zero on a projective curve C (not necessarily smooth), there exists a unique function $\hat{h}_c$ on C up to bounded functions. Section 1 contain basic definitions and a brief summary of classical results on Jacobians and heights. In section 2, we prove the existence of "canonical height" on a singular curves and in section 3 we prove the analogouse results on N$\acute{e}$ron functions for singular curves. This is a part of the author's doctorial thesis at Ewha Womens University under the guidence of professor Sung Sik Woo.g Sik Woo.

The purpose of the present paper is to investigate mapping properties of an integral operator in which we show that the function g defined by $$g(z)=\{\frac{c+{\alpha}}{z^c}{\int}_{o}^{z}t^{c-1}(D^nf)^{\alpha}(t)dt\}^{1/{\alpha}}$$. belongs to the class $S(A,B)$ if $f{\in}S(n,A,B)$.

Let X be a Tychonoff space and ${\sum}(X)$ the set of all the subrings of C(X) that contain $C^*(X)$. For any A(X) in ${\sum}(X)$ suppose $_{{\upsilon}A}X$ is the largest subspace of ${\beta}X$ containing X to which each function in A(X) can be extended continuously. Let us write A(X) ~ B(X) if and only if $_{{\upsilon}A}X=_{{\upsilon}B}X$, thereby defining an equivalence relation on ${\sum}(X)$. We have shown that an A(X) in ${\sum}(X)$ is isomorphic to C(Y ) for some space Y if and only if A(X) is the largest member of its equivalence class if and only if there exists a subspace T of ${\beta}X$ with the property that A(X)={$f{\in}C(X):f^*(p)$ is real for each $p$ in T}, $f^*$ being the unique continuous extension of $f$ in C(X) from ${\beta}X$ to $\mathbb{R}^*$, the one point compactification of $\mathbb{R}$. As a consequence it follows that if X is a realcompact space in which every $C^*$-embedded subset is closed, then C(X) is never isomorphic to any A(X) in ${\sum}(X)$ without being equal to it.

Let C_a,b[0, T] denote the space of continuous sample paths of a generalized Brownian motion process (GBMP). In this paper, we study the structures which exist between the analytic generalized Fourier-Feynman transform (GFFT) and the generalized convolution product (GCP) for functions on the function space C_a,b[0, T]. For our purpose, we use the exponential type functions on the general Wiener space C_a,b[0, T]. The class of all exponential type functions is a fundamental set in L₂(C_a,b[0, T]).

In this paper, we define a new subclass of k-uniformly starlike functions of order γ (0 ≤ γ < 1) by using certain generalized q-integral operator. We explore geometric interpretation of the functions in this class by connecting it with conic domains. We also investigate q-sufficient coefficient condition, q-Fekete-Szegö inequalities, q-Bieberbach-De Branges type coefficient estimates and radius problem for functions in this class. We conclude this paper by introducing an analogous subclass of k-uniformly convex functions of order γ by using the generalized q-integral operator. We omit the results for this new class because they can be directly translated from the corresponding results of our main class.

In this paper, we give some results an upper bound of Hankel determinant of H₂(1) for the classes of 𝓝 (𝜶). We get a sharp upper bound for H₂(1) = c₃ - c²₂ for 𝓝 (𝜶) by adding z₁, z₂, …, z_n zeros of f(z) which are different than zero. Moreover, in a class of analytic functions on the unit disc, assuming the existence of angular limit on the boundary point, the estimations below of the modulus of angular derivative have been obtained. Finally, the sharpness of the inequalities obtained in the presented theorems are proved.
