Uteroglobin (or blastokinin) is a specific protein produced by rabbit endometrium when stimulated by exogenous or endogenous progesterone (Schwick, 1965; Beier, 1968a, b; Krishnan & Daniel, 1967; Urzua, Stambaugh, Flickinger & Mastroianni, 1970; Arthur & Daniel, 1972; Bullock & Connell, 1973). The protein is known to bind steroids, particularly progesterone (Urzua et al., 1970; Arthur & Daniel,...

BACKGROUND Endurance athletes search for diet regimens that will improve performance and decrease gastrointestinal disturbances during training and events. Although the intestine can adapt to changes in the amount and composition of dietary inputs, the responses to the combination of endurance exercise and diet are poorly understood. METHODS We evaluated small intestinal dimensions and mucosa...

The following is the extended version of my notes from my ATC talk given on June 4, 2014 at UCLA. I begin with a basic introduction to sums-of-squares formulas, and move on to giving motivation for studying these formulas and discussing some results about them over the reals. More recent techniques have made it possible to obtain similar results over arbitrary fields, and some of these are disc...

Preface Acknowledgements This work was carried out in the Computational Diagnostics group of the Department of Computational Molecular Biology at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics in Berlin. I thank all past and present colleagues for the good working atmosphere and the scientific—and sometimes maybe not so scientific—discussions. Especially, I am grateful to my supervisor Rainer ...

Types in o-minimal theories by Janak Daniel Ramakrishnan Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics University of California, Berkeley Professor Thomas Scanlon, Chair We extend previous work on classifying o-minimal types, and develop several applications. Marker developed a dichotomy of o-minimal types into “cuts” and “noncuts,” with a further dichotomy of cuts being either “uniquely” or “non-uniquel...
