We demonstrate that the rapidity and robustness of slow contraction in homogenizing flattening universe found simulations which initial conditions were restricted to non-perturbative variations described by a single fourier mode along only spatial direction are general enhanced if two directions, include multiple modes, thereby have reduced symmetry. Particularly significant shear effects becom...

let $mathbb{f}$ be an algebraically closed field of prime characteristic $p>2$ and $(g, [p])$ a finite-dimensional restricted lie superalgebra over $mathbb{f}$. it is showed that anyfinite-dimensional indecomposable $g$-module is a module for a finite-dimensional quotient of the universal enveloping superalgebra of $g$. these quotient superalgebras are called the generalized reduced enveloping ...

Introduction The assessment of local diffusion anisotropy in tissue using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is known to be problematic in regions that contain an admixture of tissue types or multiple fiber orientations. One approach to ameliorating this problem is to acquire high angular resolution qspace data, augmented with more sophisticated analysis schemes using higher order tensor models. Ho...

To study the seasonal variation in the characteristics of the Azarbaijani buffalo semen, three 2-4-year-oldbulls of Azarbaijani water buffaloes, kept in the Buffalo Breeding Center, in Urmia, northwest of Iran, wereselected. Semen samples were collected once a week for a period of one year using artificial vagina and abuffalo cow as a dummy. Semen volume, colour, pH and motility and spermatozoa...

In this study, the effects of late gestational undernutrition (LGU) on plasma concentration of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-I), leptin, insulin and glucose in subsequent sucking lambs was investigated. Ten twin-bearing ewes were fed either restrictedly (Restricted) or adequately (Control) during the last six weeks of gestation and were fed ad libitum after parturition. Blood samples were t...

the impact of climatic variations on basal area growth of basswood (ba) (tilia americana l.), american beech (be) (fagus grandifolia enrh.), bitternut hickory (bh) (caria cordiformis (wang.) k. koch), largetooth aspen (la) (populus grandidentata michx.), red maple (rm) (acer rubrum l.), red oak (ro) (quercus rubra l.), sugar maple (sm) (acer saccharum marsh.), and white ash (wa) (fraxinus a...

The Keap1-Nrf2 system serves as a defense mechanism against oxidative stress and electrophilic toxicants by inducing more than one hundred cytoprotective proteins, including antioxidants and phase 2 detoxifying enzymes. Since induction profiles of Nrf2 target genes have been studied exclusively in cultured cells, and not in animal models, their tissue-specificity has not been well characterized...
