Let V be a smooth cubic in P and let X = F(V ) be the variety of lines on V . Thus X is a smooth four-dimensional subvariety of the grassmanian G(1, 5), more precisely, the zero locus of a section of SU, where U is the tautological rank-two bundle over G(1, 5). It is immediate from this description that the canonical class of X is trivial. Let F ⊂ V × X be the universal family of lines on V , a...

bunium persicum (boiss.) is an economically important medicinal plant growing wild in arid regions in iran. the essential oil of b. persicum (eobp) was extracted using hydrodistillation. a total of eighteen compounds, representing 96.14 % of the oil was identified by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (gc/ms).the main compounds were cuminaldehyde (23.04 %), gamma-terpinene (14.48 %), trans-3-...

background and objectives: uterine smooth muscle tumors are the most common human neoplasm .they are divided clinically as benign and malignant but there is  another group of  lesions which is difficult to place in these two categories ,so-called smooth  muscle tumors of uncertain malignant potential (stump) and differentiation  of these tumors on the basis of h&e staining is impossible . t...

osteonectin is a bone- associated protein involved in vascular calcification. adiponectin may protect against cardiovascular disease but possible effects on vascular calcification have been poorly studied. the aim of this study was to investigate the modulatory effect of adiponectin on oxidized low density lipoprotein (oxldl)- induced expression of osteonectin in human aorta vascular smooth mus...

We consider a general class of second-order iterations for unconstrained optimization that includes regularization and trust-region variants of Newton’s method. For each method in this class, we exhibit a smooth, bounded-below objective function, whose gradient is globally Lipschitz continuous within an open convex set containing any iterates encountered and whose Hessian is α−Hölder continuous...

Much of the research on the numerical analysis of Fredholm type integral equations during the past ten years has centered on the solution of boundary integral equations (BIE). A great deal of this research has been on the numerical solution of BIE on simple closed boundary curves S for planar regions. When a BIE is de ned on a smooth curve S, there are many numerical methods for solving the equ...

The present paper deals with lines contained in a smooth complex cubic threefold. It is well-known that the set of second type on threefold curve its Fano surface. Here we give description singularities this curve.
