luteal regressionluteolysisstructural luteolysisfunctional luteolysiscorpus luteum Th corpu luteum is a transient endocrine gland that is specialized for the production of progesterone and that plays a critical role in the establishment and maintenance of pregnancy. The life span of the corpus luteum varies between species and, within a species, can be dramatically altered by events such as mat...

In this paper, we propose a deterministic approach to the robust filtering problem for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems. Based on polynomial Lyapunov functions and a relaxation technique, we derive linear matrix inequalities conditions that minimize an upper-bound on the finite horizon 2-norm of the estimation error for all admissible uncertainty and input signals (including disturbances ...

The formalism of graded Poisson-Sigma models allows the construction of N = (2, 2) dilaton supergravity in terms of a minimal number of fields. For the gauged chiral U(1) symmetry the full action, involving all fermionic contributions , is derived. The twisted chiral case follows by simple redefinition of fields. The equivalence of our approach to the standard second order one in terms of super...

By using the explicit knowledge of the lowest energy single particle wave functions in the presence of an arbitrary magnetic field, we extend to the case of a torus Jain’s idea of looking at the FQHE as a manifestation of an integer effect for composite fermions. We show that this can be realized thanks to a redefinition of the vacuum state that is explicitly collective in nature. We also discu...

The separated electromagnetic responses RL(q, ω) and RT (q, ω) for inclusive electron scattering off nuclei are studied within a functional scheme.
