Inspired by a recent work of Crovisier and Pujals on mildly dissipative diffeomorphisms the plane, we show that Hénon-like Lozi-like maps their strange attractors are conjugate to natural extensions (a.k.a. shift homeomorphisms inverse limits) metric trees with dense set branch points. In consequence, these very well approximate topology attractors, them give good models dynamics. To best our k...

objective(s) this study planned to assess antidepressant like activity of aqueous extract from leaves of citrus maxima merr. (rutaceae). materials and methods boiling was used for aqueous extraction. acute toxicity study was performed in mice. antidepressant activity was studied using locomotor activity test, modified forced swimming test (fst) and tail suspension test (tst). three doses 100, 2...

The theory of cheap talk, evaluated as a model of language use, is shown to mismatch the reality of communication in five respects: real talk is conflict dampening, is more than assertion, is dear, is not literal, and is beholden to its medium. The linguistic theory of pragmatics is employed to demonstrate formally that every utterance creates a coordination game whose resolution reveals eviden...

BACKGROUND An increasing number of studies have been carried out on the relationship between polymorphisms in toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) gene and asthma risk. However, the results were controversial. With the purpose of yielding a more reliable estimation of the association, we conducted the present meta-analysis. METHODS Multiple electronic databases up to August 22, 2016 were searched for ...

In a previous study we identified an extensive gating network within the inwardly rectifying Kir1.1 (ROMK) channel by combining systematic scanning mutagenesis and functional analysis with structural models of the channel in the closed, pre-open and open states. This extensive network appeared to stabilize the open and pre-open states, but the network fragmented upon channel closure. In this st...

Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 is a key regulator of muscle development and metabolism in birds and other vertebrate species. In a first part, the present paper sums up the specificities of the IGF system in birds and especially those related to muscle development. In a second part, it reviews available data obtained with avian genetic or nutritional models. Data obtained by comparing genetic mod...

We investigate the growth of matter density perturbations as well as the generalized second law (GSL) of thermodynamics in the framework of f(R)-gravity. We consider a spatially flat FRW universe filled with the pressureless matter and radiation which is enclosed by the dynamical apparent horizon with the Hawking temperature. For some viable f(R) models containing the Starobinsky, Hu-Sawicki, Exp...
