We identify the holomorphic de Rham complex of the minimal extension of a meromorphic vector bundle with connexion on a compact Riemann surface X with the L 2 complex relative to a suitable metric on the bundle and a complete metric on the punctured Riemann surface. Applying results of C. Simpson, we show the existence of a harmonic metric on this vector bundle, giving the same L complex. As a ...

The present work considers the Struma River water flow on Bulgarian territory as a starting point for evaluation of maximum and minimum water flow using an original integral method. The risk assessment is determined by specific indices like the index Mmax,i for the deviation of the maximum water flow from the calculated norm of the maximum flow Qmax,0 and the index Mmin,i for the deviation of t...

We examined the time course and sex differences of the glucocorticoid response to forced, moderate-intensity treadmill exercise in outbred laboratory house mice. Mice (n = 64 total) were divided into eight groups, each of four males and four females, which were run on a motorized treadmill at 1.0 km/h for either 0, 2, 5, 10, 15, 25, 40, or 60 min. Serum samples were taken immediately after exer...

objective: liver x receptors (lxrs) are ligand-activated transcription factors of the nuclear hormonal receptor superfamily which modulate the expression of genes involved in cholesterol homeostasis. hence, further unraveling of the molecular function of this gene may be helpful in preventing cardiovascular diseases. materials and methods: this experimental intervention study included twelve ad...

We analyse one-loop radiative corrections to the inflationary potential in the theory, where inflation is driven by the Standard Model Higgs field. We show that inflation is possible provided the Higgs mass mH lies in the interval mmin < mH < mmax, where mmin = [136.7 + (mt − 171.2) × 1.95] GeV, mmax = [184.5 + (mt − 171.2) × 0.5] GeV and mt is the mass of the top quark. Moreover, the predictio...

As white adipose tissue (WAT) expands under obesogenic conditions, local WAT hypoxia may contribute to the chronic low-grade inflammation observed in obesity. Aerobic exercise training is beneficial in treating WAT inflammation after obesity is established, but it remains unknown whether exercise training, while on a concomitant high-fat (HF) diet, influences WAT inflammation during the develop...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of one session of continuous exercise on a treadmill on hsp72 and tac levels of the hippocampus of male wistar rats. for this purpose, 20 male wistar rats (weight 165±1 gr. and age 6 to 8 weeks old) were assigned randomly into four groups: one control group and three acute endurance training groups (groups 1,2 and 3 were killed 30 minutes, 4 h...
