where r denotes the cross-ratio. In this note we show that the Bloch-Wigner function can be naturally extended to the (infinite dimensional) variety of all algebraic curves in CP 3 which are in sufficiently general position with respect to a given simplex L. (By definition a simplex in CP 3 is a collection of 4 hyperplanes in generic position). We call the corresponding function the Chow diloga...

Chow varieties are a parameter space for cycles of a given variety of a given codimension and degree. We construct their analog for differential algebraic varieties with differential algebraic subvarieties, answering a question of [11]. The proof uses the construction of classical algebro-geometric Chow varieties, the theory of characteristic sets of differential varieties, the theory of prolon...

BACKGROUND Feeding conditions can influence dopamine neurotransmission and impact behavioral and neurochemical effects of drugs acting on dopamine systems. This study examined whether eating high fat chow alters the locomotor effects of cocaine and dopamine transporter activity in adolescent (postnatal day 25) and adult (postnatal day 75) male Sprague-Dawley rats. METHODS Dose-response curves...

Abstract It is unknown whether smooth cubic threefolds have an (integral Chow-theoretic) decomposition of the diagonal, or they are stably rational not in general. As a first step towards making progress on these questions, we compute (saturated numerical) prelog Chow group self-product certain degeneration threefolds.

Ventral tegmental area (VTA) dopamine neurons play an important role in reward mechanisms of food intake, and VTA dopamine receptors exist on the terminal of glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons and regulate GABA and glutamate release. To our knowledge, there is no evidence to show that VTA D1 dopamine receptors play a role in regular chow intake. In this paper, the effect of SKF38393, a D1 rece...

objectives the link between dietary fat and heart disease has been established for decades. although, the atherogenic effect of saturated fatty acids is somehow controversial, the cardioprotective effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids (pufa) are clearly documented. this study investigated the effects of different dietary oils on serum fatty acid composition in rat. methods six week male wistar...
