In the domination game, introduced by Brešar, Klavžar, and Rall in 2010, Dominator and Staller alternately select a vertex of a graph G. A move is legal if the selected vertex v dominates at least one new vertex – that is, if we have a u ∈ N [v] for which no vertex from N [u] was chosen up to this point of the game. The game ends when no more legal moves can be made, and its length equals the n...

In this paper, we continue the study of the total domination game in graphs introduced in [Graphs Combin. 31(5) (2015), 1453–1462], where the players Dominator and Staller alternately select vertices of G. Each vertex chosen must strictly increase the number of vertices totally dominated, where a vertex totally dominates another vertex if they are neighbors. This process eventually produces a t...

In 1975, Dr. David P. Rall, Chairman of the DHEW Committee to Coordinate Toxicology and Related Programs asked that a committee of departmental experts be formed to examine and report on human health consequences of lead exposure from automobile emissions. The committee submitted its report in July 1976, and the report was circulated to experts and organizations in and outside Government for co...

Considerable evidence suggests that the concentration of free thyroxine, circulating unbound to serum proteins, is more closely relattd to a subject's thyroidal status than is the concentration of total thyroxine (1). Because of the intense binding of thyroxine by the serum proteins, the concentration of free thyroxine is very small and not measurable by conventional chemical methods. Robbins a...

A CENTRIPETAL impulse volley traversing the myelinated afferent fibers in the nerve to a given muscle, or fraction thereof, is known to provoke a variety of reflex effects (4). By direct, or monosynaptic impingement upon motor nuclei it promotes the discharge of homonymous motoneurons, which is to say motoneurons supplying that given muscle or muscle fraction; it facilitates the response of mot...

Thyroxine and triiodothyronine are transported in the blood as noncovalent complexes with certain serum proteins. This has been shown by many investigators and was the subject of an extensive recent review by Robbins and Rall (1). The binding proteins are an a-globulin (called thyroxine-binding globulin), a prealbumin, and serum albumin. The first appears to be the most significant binder of th...

Studies by Earl Suthcrland and his eollcagucs onhormonal regulation f the breakdown ofglycogen i liver esulted inthe discovery that the first step in the action of many hormones is to increase the synthesis ofcAMP by activating adcnylatc eyelase (Raft ct al 1957, Sutherland & Rall 1958, Robison ctal 1968). It was later established that cAMP exerts its elfects by stimulating protein kinascs that...

Many vertebrate and invertebrate neurons receive synaptic inputs on spines (Coss and Perkel, 1985). In hippocampal pyramidal cells, almost all synapses found on spines are excitatory (Harris and Stevens, 1989), but in the cat primary visual cortex, 7% of synapses on spines are inhibitory (Beaulieu and Colonnier, 1985), which comprise almost one-third of the total number of inhibitory synapses o...
