Using gauge theory and functional integral methods, we derive concrete expressions for the partition functions of BF theory and the U(1|1) model of Rozansky and Saleur on Σ×S, both directly and using equivalent two-dimensional theories. We also derive the partition function of a certain non-abelian generalization of the U(1|1) model on mapping tori and hence obtain explicit expressions for the ...

Abstract Introduction While intake of specific macronutrients has been associated with changes in sleep parameters humans – such as macrostructure direct interventional evidence is lacking. Thus, we conducted a randomized trial to examine how consumption an unhealthy, Western diet impacts at the microstructure level humans. Methods In crossover study, 15 healthy normal-weight men consumed two i...

Purpose: Antiangiogenic therapy is considered as an effective strategy for controlling the growth and metastasis of tumors. Among a myriad of biological activities described for xanthone derivatives, the anticancer activity is quite remarkable, but the molecular mechanism is not clearly resolved. In the present study, we investigated the antiangiogenic mechanism of 3,6-di(2,3-epoxypropoxy)xanth...

Some recent land use changes in Albania, such as deforestation, cropland abandonment, and urban sprawl, have caused serious increase of erosion risk. The main objective of this study was to map erosion risk in Korçe region and assess the degree at which every land use is concerned. The G2 erosion model was applied, which can provide erosion maps and statistical figures at month-time intervals u...
