In recent work, Mansour [Discrete Math. Theoret. Computer Science 11, 2009, 173–186] considers the problem of enumerating all words of length n over {1, 2, . . . , k} (where k is a given integer), that have the total variation equal to a given integer m. In the present paper we study various types of random words over the infinite alphabet N, where the letters have geometric probabilities. We a...

BACKGROUND The combined oral contractive pill (COC) has been available for over 50 years but are we providing women with the regimens they want? As far back as 1977, Louden et al. reported the use of 84 active pills with a 7-day break to free women from monthly periods, yet menstrual manipulation is underused today. So...

Gross, Mansour and Tucker introduced the partial-dual orientable genus polynomial Euler polynomial. They showed that for an ribbon graph is interpolating gave analogous conjecture: The Euler-genus any non-orientable interpolating. In this paper, we first give some counterexamples to conjecture. Then motivated by these counterexamples, further find two infinite classes of counterexamples.

abstract today, the laser is used in a wide range of dental procedures. some of the advantages of some lasers in treatment of oral soft tissue lesions are: elimination of need for local anesthesia, minimal bleeding, fast healing, absence of postoperative complications and reduction of recurrence rate. for these reasons is was used for treatment of oral fibroma. to our knowledge this is the firs...

This paper presents numerical results obtained by applying an LES model based on a rational subdiagonal Pad e approximation in the wave number space We used a spectral element code to test this LES model a coarse DNS and the Smagorinsky model with Van Driest damping in the numerical simulation of a D channel ow at Re The corresponding results were compared with the ne DNS simulation of Moser Ki...

We show that a distinguishing attack in the related key model on an EvenMansour block cipher can readily be converted into an extremely efficient key recovery attack. Concerned ciphers include in particular all iterated Even-Mansour schemes with independent keys. We apply this observation to the Caesar candidate Prøst-OTR and are able to recover the whole key with a number of requests linear in...

Based on weighted noncrossing partitions of type B, we obtain type B analogues of Coker’s identities on the Narayana polynomials. A parity reversing involution is given for the alternating sum of Narayana numbers of type B. Moreover, we find type B analogues of the refinements of Coker’s identities due to Chen, Deutsch and Elizalde. By combinatorial constructions, we provide type B analogues of...
