Let D be an integral domain, X be an indeterminate over D, and $N_v=\{f{\in}D[X]{\mid}(A_f)_v=D\}$. In this paper, we introduce the concept of t-locally divided domains, and we then prove that $D[X]_{N_v}$ is a locally divided domain if and only if D is a t-locally divided UMT-domain, if and only if D[X] is a t-locally divided domain.

Let D be an integral domain, X an indeterminate over D, $N_v = \{f{\in}D[X]|(A_f)_v=D\}.$. Among other things, we introduce the concept of t-locally PVDs and prove that $D[X]N_v$ is a locally PVD if and only if D is a t-locally PVD and a UMT-domain, if and only if D[X] is a t-locally PVD, if and only if each overring of $D[X]N_v$ is a locally PVD.

Let V be any valuation domain and let E be a subset of the quotient field K of V. We study the ring of integer-valued polynomials on E, that is, Int(E, V)={f$\in$K[X]｜f(E)⊆V}. We show that, if E is precompact, then Int(E, V) has many properties similar to those of the classical ring Int(Z).In particular, Int(E, V) is dense in the ring of continuous functions C(E, V); each finitely generated ideal of Int(E, V) may be generated by two elements; and finally, Int(E, V) is a Prufer domain.

Let D be an integral domain and w be the so-called w-operation on D. In this note, we introduce the notion of *(w)-domains: D is a *(w)-domain if $(({\cap}(x_i))({\cap}(y_j)))_w={\cap}(x_iy_j)$ for all nonzero elements $x_1,{\ldots},x_m$; $y_1,{\ldots},y_n$ of D. We then show that D is a $Pr{\ddot{u}}fer$ v-multiplication domain if and only if D is a *(w)-domain and $A^{-1}$ is of finite type for all nonzero finitely generated fractional ideals A of D.

Let D be an integral domain, I a proper ideal of D, and R =D[It, $t^{-1}$] a generalized Rees ring, where t is an indeterminate. For suitable conditions, we show that R satisfies the ACCP (resp., is a BFD, an FFD, a (pre-) Schreier domain, a G-GCD domain, a PVMD, a v-domain) if and only if D satisfies the ACCP (resp., is a BFD, an FFD, a (pre-) Schreier domain, a G-GCD domain, a PVMD, a v-domain).

Let D be an integral domain with quotient field K, M a torsion-free D-module, X an indeterminate, and $N_v=\{f{\in}D[X]|c(f)_v=D\}$. Let $q(M)=M{\otimes}_D\;K$ and $M_{w_D}$={$x{\in}q(M)|xJ{\subseteq}M$ for a nonzero finitely generated ideal J of D with $J_v$ = D}. In this paper, we show that $M_{w_D}=M[X]_{N_v}{\cap}q(M)$ and $(M[X])_{w_{D[X]}}{\cap}q(M)[X]=M_{w_D}[X]=M[X]_{N_v}{\cap}q(M)[X]$. Using these results, we prove that M is a strong Mori D-module if and only if M[X] is a strong Mori D[X]-module if and only if $M[X]_{N_v}$ is a Noetherian $D[X]_{N_v}$-module. This is a generalization of the fact that D is a strong Mori domain if and only if D[X] is a strong Mori domain if and only if $D[X]_{N_v}$ is a Noetherian domain.

The ${\beta}2$ integrins are cell surface transmembrane proteins regulating leukocyte functions, such as adhesion and migration. Two members of ${\beta}2$ integrin, ${\alpha}M{\beta}2$ and ${\alpha}X{\beta}2$, share the leukocyte distribution profile and integrin ${\alpha}X{\beta}2$ is involved in antigen presentation in dendritic cells and transendothelial migration of monocytes and macrophages to atherosclerotic lesions. ${\underline{R}}eceptor$ for ${\underline{a}}dvanced$ ${\underline{g}}lycation$ ${\underline{e}}nd$ ${\underline{p}}roducts$ (RAGE), a member of cell adhesion molecules, plays an important role in chronic inflammation and atherosclerosis. Although RAGE and ${\alpha}X{\beta}2$ play an important role in inflammatory response and the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, the nature of their interaction and structure involved in the binding remain poorly defined. In this study, using I-domain as a ligand binding motif of ${\alpha}X{\beta}2$, we characterize the binding nature and the interacting moieties of ${\alpha}X$ I-domain and RAGE. Their binding requires divalent cations ($Mg^{2+}$ and $Mn^{2+}$) and shows an affinity on the sub-micro molar level: the dissociation constant of ${\alpha}X$ I-domains binding to RAGE being $0.49{\mu}M$. Furthermore, the ${\alpha}X$ I-domains recognize the V-domain, but not the C1 and C2-domains of RAGE. The acidic amino acid substitutions on the ligand binding site of ${\alpha}X$ I-domain significantly reduce the I-domain binding activity to soluble RAGE and the alanine substitutions of basic amino acids on the flat surface of the V-domain prevent the V-domain binding to ${\alpha}X$ I-domain. In conclusion, the main mechanism of ${\alpha}X$ I-domain binding to RAGE is a charge interaction, in which the acidic moieties of ${\alpha}X$ I-domains, including E244, and D249, recognize the basic residues on the RAGE V-domain encompassing K39, K43, K44, R104, and K107.

Let D be an integral domain, {$X_{\alpha}$} be a nonempty set of indeterminates over D, and $D{\mathbb{[}}\{X_{\alpha}\}{\mathbb{]}_1}$ be the first type power series ring over D. We show that if D is a t-SFT $Pr{\ddot{u}}fer$ v-multiplication domain, then $D{\mathbb{[}}\{X_{\alpha}\}{\mathbb{]}}_{1_{D-\{0\}}}$ is a Krull domain, and $D{\mathbb{[}}\{X_{\alpha}\}{\mathbb{]}}_1$ is a $Pr{\ddot{u}}fer$ v-multiplication domain if and only if D is a Krull domain.

Let D be an integral domain, $D^w$ be the $w$-integral closure of D, X be an indeterminate over D, and $N_v=\{f{\in}D[X]{\mid}c(f)_v=D\}$. In this paper, we introduce the concept of $t$-locally APVD. We show that D is a $t$-locally APVD and a UMT-domain if and only if D is a $t$-locally APVD and $D^w$ is a $PvMD$, if and only if D[X] is a $t$-locally APVD, if and only if $D[X]_{N_v}$ is a locally APVD.

We study the positive $C^1$ function z = f(x, y) defined on the plane ${\mathbb{R}}^2$. For a rectangular domain $[a,b]{\times}[c,d]{\subset}{\mathbb{R}}^2$, we consider the volume V and the surface area S of the graph of z = f(x, y) over the domain. We also denote by (${\bar{x}}_V,\;{\bar{y}}_V,\;{\bar{z}}_V$) and (${\bar{x}}_S,\;{\bar{y}}_S,\;{\bar{z}}_S$) the geometric centroid of the volume under the graph of z = f(x, y) and the centroid of the graph itself defined on the rectangular domain, respectively. In this paper, first we show that among nonconstant $C^2$ functions with isolated singularities, S = kV, $k{\in}{\mathbb{R}}$ characterizes the family of catenary rotation surfaces f(x, y) = k cosh(r/k), $r={\mid}(x,y){\mid}$. Next, we show that one of $({\bar{x}}_S,\;{\bar{y}}_S)=({\bar{x}}_V,\;{\bar{y}}_V)$, $({\bar{x}}_S,\;{\bar{z}}_S)=({\bar{x}}_V,\;2{\bar{z}}_V)$ and $({\bar{y}}_S,\;{\bar{z}}_S)=({\bar{y}}_V,\;2{\bar{z}}_V)$ characterizes the family of catenary rotation surfaces among nonconstant $C^2$ functions with isolated singularities.
