The Ellipsoid algorithm was developed by (formerly) Soviet mathematicians (Shor (1970), Yudin and Nemirovskii (1975)). Khachian (1979) proved that it provides a polynomial time algorithm for linear programming. The average behavior of the Ellipsoid algorithm is too slow, making it not competitive with the simplex algorithm. However, the theoretical implications of the algorithm are very importa...

Isoflurane inhibits the neurotransmitter release machinery 7 8 9 10

43 44 Despite their importance, the mechanism of action of general anesthetics is still 45 poorly understood. Facilitation of inhibitory GABAA receptors plays an important role in 46 anesthesia but other targets have also been linked to anesthetic actions. Anesthetics are 47 known to suppress excitatory synaptic transmission, but it has been difficult to determine 48 whether they act on the neu...

Extragalactic UHE proton spectrum and prediction for iron - nuclei flux at 10 8 − 10 9 GeV

We investigate the problem of transition from galactic cosmic rays to extragalactic ultra high energy cosmic rays. Using the model for extragalactic ultra high energy cosmic rays and observed all-particle cosmic ray spectrum, we calculate the galactic spectrum of iron nuclei in the energy range 108 − 109 GeV. The flux and spectrum predicted at lower energies agree well with the KASCADE data. Th...
