The present study investigates the acute consequences of central adrenergic stimulation on the release of steroids from the ovary. The influence of the superior ovarian nerve (SON) and the relationship between the neural effect and peripheral LH levels were also examined. The intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection of 5 microg epinephrine in SON-intact rats on day 1 of dioestrus (D1) increas...

1. Introduction Handover (HO) is key procedure for ensuring that users can move freely within a network being connected to high quality services [1]. In currently deployed mobile networks, handover optimization is performed manually over a long time period-days or weeks. This approach is both time consuming and can not be carried out as often as needed. By introducing an online self-optimising ...

We employed a brain microdialysis method to examine the possible regulation of spontaneous acetylcholine (ACh) release in the hypothalamic vasopressinergic supraoptic nucleus (SON) of rats. We monitored the basal ACh release in the SON-microdialysate. The addition of tetrodotoxin (10(-6) M) to the perfusate (saline containing 10(-4) M physostigmine) decreased the basal ACh release. A muscarinic...

the comparison between the views of ibne malek, in alfye, and his son, ibn al-nazem, in sharh ibn al-nazem ‘ala alfiye ibn malek, is one of the most important morphological and grammatical issues in the arabic grammer. alfye (ألفیة ابن مالک) is an educational poetry in arabic grammar that has been versed by ibne malek in the 13th century. at least 43 explanations have been written on this work....

CONTEXT Ideal family size and desire for an additional child are the two most commonly used fertility preference indicators. However, little is known about the consistency over time of responses to each measure, the consistency between the two indicators or the predictive value of these indicators in India. METHOD Longitudinal data from the 1998-1999 National Family Health Survey and a follow...

— We associate to any convenient nondegenerate Laurent polynomial f on the complex torus (C∗ )n a canonical Frobenius-Saito structure on the base space of its universal unfolding. According to the method of K. Saito (primitive forms) and of M. Saito (good basis of the Gauss-Manin system), the main problem, which is solved in this article, is the analysis of the Gauss-Manin system of f (or its u...

The first nontrivial zeroes of the Riemann ζ function are ≈ 1 2 ± 14.13472i. We investigate the question of whether or not any other Lfunction has a higher lowest zero. To do so we try to quantify the notion that the L-function of a “small” automorphic representation (i.e. one with small level and archimedean type) does not have small zeroes, and vice-versa. We prove that many types of automorp...

We provide new sufficient convergence conditions for the convergence of the Secant method to a locally unique solution of a nonlinear equation in a Banach space. Our new idea uses recurrent functions, Lipschitz–type and center–Lipschitz–type instead of just Lipschitz–type conditions on the divided difference of the operator involved. It turns out that this way our error bounds are more precise ...
