Geodesic orbit spaces are homogeneous Finsler spaces whose geodesics are all orbits of one-parameter subgroups of isometries. Such Finsler spaces have vanishing S-curvature and hold the Bishop-Gromov volume comparison theorem. In this paper, we obtain a complete description of invariant (α₁, α₂)-metrics on spheres with vanishing S-curvature. Also, we give a description of invariant geodesic orbit (α₁, α₂)-metrics on spheres. We mainly show that a Sp(n + 1)-invariant (α₁, α2)-metric on S⁴ⁿ⁺³ = Sp(n + 1)/Sp(n) is geodesic orbit with respect to Sp(n + 1) if and only if it is Sp(n + 1)Sp(1)-invariant. As an interesting consequence, we find infinitely many Finsler spheres with vanishing S-curvature which are not geodesic orbit spaces.

Natural killer T (NKT) cell is a special type of T lymphocytes that has both receptor of natural killer (NK) cell (NK1.1, CD161c) and T cell (TCR) and express a conserved or invariant T cell receptor called $V{\alpha}14J{\alpha}18$ in mice or Va24 in humans. Invariant NKT (iNKT) cell recognizes lipid antigen presented by CD1d molecules. Marine-sponge-derived glycolipid, ${\alpha}-galactosylceremide$ (${\alpha}-GalCer$), binds CD1d at the cell surface of antigen-presenting cells and is presented to iNKT cells. Within hours, iNKT cells become activated and start to secrete Interleukin-4 and $interferon-{\gamma}$. NKT cell prevents autoimmune diseases, such as type 1 diabetes, experimental allergic encephalomyelitis, systemic lupus erythematous, inflammatory colitis, and Graves' thyroiditis, by activation with ${\alpha}-GalCer$. In addition, NKT cell is associated with infectious diseases by mycobacteria, leshmania, and virus. Moreover NKT cell is associated with asthma, especially CD4+ iNKT cells. In this review, I will discuss the characteristics of NKT cell and the association with inflammatory diseases, especially asthma.

The notion of generalized (regular) (${\alpha},\;{\beta}$)-derivations of a BCI-algebra is introduced, some useful examples are discussed, and related properties are investigated. The condition for a generalized (${\alpha},\;{\beta}$)-derivation to be regular is provided. The concepts of a generalized F-invariant (${\alpha},\;{\beta}$)-derivation and ${\alpha}$-ideal are introduced, and their relations are discussed. Moreover, some results on regular generalized (${\alpha},\;{\beta}$)-derivations are proved.

CD1 molecules belong to non-polymorphic MHC class I-like proteins and present lipid antigens to T cells. Five different CD1 genes (CD1a-e) have been identified and classified into two groups. Group 1 include CD1a-c and present pathogenic lipid antigens to ${\alpha}{\beta}$ T cells reminiscence of peptide antigen presentation by MHC-I molecules. CD1d is the only member of Group 2 and presents foreign and self lipid antigens to a specialized subset of ${\alpha}{\beta}$ T cells, NKT cells. NKT cells are involved in diverse immune responses through prompt and massive production of cytokines. CD1d-dependent NKT cells are categorized upon the usage of their T cell receptors. A major subtype of NKT cells (type I) is invariant NKT cells which utilize invariant $V{\alpha}14-J{\alpha}18$ TCR alpha chain in mouse. The remaining NKT cells (type II) utilize diverse TCR alpha chains. Engineered CD1d molecules with modified intracellular trafficking produce either type I or type II NKT cell-defects suggesting the lipid antigens for each subtypes of NKT cells are processed/generated in different intracellular compartments. Since the usage of TCR by a T cell is the result of antigen-driven selection, the intracellular metabolic pathways of lipid antigen are a key in forming the functional NKT cell repertoire.

A hereditary $C^{*}$-subalgebra B of a $C^{*}$-algebra A is said to be full if B is not contained in any proper closed two-sided ideal in A, so each hereditary $C^{*}$-subalgebra of a simple $C^{*}$-algebra is always full. It is well known that every $C^{*}$-algebra is strong Morita equivalent to its full hereditary $C^{*}$-subalgebra, but the strong Morita equivalence of a $C^{*}$-algebra A and its hereditary $C^{*}$-subalgebra B does not imply the fullness of B, ingeneral. We present the following lemma for our computational convenience in the course of the proof of the main theorem. Note that $L_{B}$, $L_{B}$$^{*}$ and $L_{B}$ $L_{B}$$^{*}$ are all .alpha.-invariant whenever B is .alpha.-invariant under the action .alpha. of G.a. of G.a. of G.a. of G.f G.

We introduce invariant rigged null hypersurfaces of indefinite almost contact manifolds, by paying attention to those of indefinite nearly α-Sasakian manifolds. We prove that, under some conditions, there exist leaves of the integrable screen distribution of the ambient manifolds admitting nearly α-Sasakian structures.

In this paper, we find the conditions for a homogeneous Finsler space with an invariant infinite series (α, β)-metric to be of Berwald type. Also, we derive the necessary and sufficient condition for such a metric to be a Douglas metric.

Let T(X) denote the semigroup (under composition) of transformations from X into itself. For a fixed nonempty subset Y of X, let S(X, Y) = {${\alpha}\;{\in}\;T(X)\;:\;Y\;{\alpha}\;{\subseteq}\;Y$}. Then S(X, Y) is a semigroup of total transformations of X which leave a subset Y of X invariant. In this paper, we characterize when S(X, Y) is isomorphic to T(Z) for some set Z and prove that every semigroup A can be embedded in S($A^1$, A). Then we describe Green's relations for S(X, Y) and apply these results to obtain its group H-classes and ideals.

The hyperbolic metric is invariant under the action of M$\ddot{o}$bius maps and unbounded. For 0 < $r$ < 1, there is an r-lattice in the Bergman metric. Using this r-lattice, we get the measure ${\mu}_r$ and the Toeplitz operator $T^{\alpha}_{\mu}_r$ and we prove that $T^{\alpha}_{\mu}_r$ is bounded and $T^{\alpha}_{\mu}_r$ is compact under some condition.
