We show that a surface of general type has a canonical symplectic structure (up to symplectomorphism) which is invariant for smooth deformation. Our main theorem is that the symplectomorphism type is also invariant for deformations which also allow certain normal singularities, called Single Smoothing Singularities ( and abbreviated as SSS), or yielding Q-Gorenstein smoothings of quotient singu...

We give infinite series of groups Γ and of compact complex surfaces of general type S with fundamental group Γ such that 1) any surface S′ with the same Euler number as S, and fundamental group Γ, is diffeomorphic to S 2) the moduli space of S consists of exactly two connected components, exchanged by complex conjugation. Whence, i) on the one hand we give simple counter-examples to the DEF = D...

Dairy sheep may take advantages from all aspects of research conducted in the field of animal science and biology. There are, however, laboratories that specifically work in that field and have a direct objective of improvement of dairy sheep breeding. In the field of nutrition, an important body of work has been done in a collaborative EEC project involving France (INRA ; Barillet and Bocquier...

Natural killer (NK) cells represent an important component of the innate immune system. In ruminants there are few reports regarding presence or characterization of NK cells. Although absence of expression of major histocompatibility complex proteins on ovine trophoblast makes it potentially a target for NK cells, little is known about regulation of NK cells by products of pregnancy in sheep. O...

Objectives: Endometrial endometrioid carcinoma (EEC) is the most encountered subtype of endometrial cancer (EC). Our study aimed to investigate factors affecting recurrence in patients with stage 1A and 1B EEC. Material methods: included 284 diagnosed International Federation Gynecology Obstetrics 1A/1B EEC our center from 2010 2018. The clinicopathological characteristics were obtained retrosp...
