Magnocellular neuroendocrine cells of the supraoptic nucleus (SON) release the peptides oxytocin (OT) and vasopressin (VP) from their dendrites and terminals. In addition to peptide-containing large dense-core vesicles, axon terminals from these cells contain clear microvesicles that have been shown to contain glutamate. Using multilabelling confocal microscopy, we investigated the presence of ...

This paper draws out some implications of son targeting fertility behaviour for gender inequality. It is demonstrated that such behaviour has two notable implications at the aggregate level: (a)larger number of siblings for girls (Sibling Effect), and (b)a higher within-family birth order for boys (Birth Order Effect). While the first tends to worsen gender inequality through monetary factors, ...

Let C be an algebraically closed field with trivial derivation and let F denote the differential rational field C〈Yij〉, with Yij , 1 ≤ i ≤ n − 1, 1 ≤ j ≤ n, i ≤ j, differentially independent over C. We show that there is a Picard-Vessiot extension E ⊃ F for a matrix equation X ′ = XA(Yij), with differential Galois group SOn, with the property that if F is any differential field with field of co...

The self-organizing networks (SON) technique is necessary to develop and manage efficiently a current complicated network system requiring various management work. For development of a SON system, it is very important but still laborious to design a coordination function to avoid performance degradation due to conflicts among multiple management algorithms. This paper proposes a SON-based optim...

Cet ouvrage trouve son origine dans un cours d’histoire des mathématiques donné par l’auteur à l’université de Californie à Los Angeles au début de la décennie 2000. Contrairement aux usages académiques, Varadarajan avait opté pour une construction de son cours autour d’une unique grande figure historique, son choix se portant alors naturellement sur Euler en raison de son universalité, guidé p...

Self-Organising Network (SON) functions have been introduced in the Long Term Evolution (LTE) and LTE-Advanced standards by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) as an excellent solution that promises enormous improvements in the network performance. However, the most challenging issue in implementing SON functions in reality is the identification of the best possible interactions amo...

The effects on spontaneous ovulation associated with the unilateral or bilateral sectioning of the superior ovarian nerves (SON) were analyzed in guinea pigs at different time intervals of the estrous cycle. Day 1 of the estrous cycle was defined as the day when the animal presents complete loss of the vaginal membrane (open vagina). Subsequent phases of the cycle were determined by counting th...

marcel proust est un des écrivains le plus fameux de la première moitié du xxe siècle. son ouvrage, a la recherche du temps perdu, en sept volumes, est à la fois le livre de sa propre vie et de la société de son époque. les personnages féminins sont au centre de son œuvre. la duchesse de guermantes est une de ces figures féminines qui occupe une place centrale dans la recherche du temps perdu. ...
