We investigated the sensitivity of visual mismatch negativity (vMMN) to an abstract and nonsemantic category, the vertical mirror symmetry. Event-related potentials were recorded to random and symmetric square patterns, delivered in passive oddball paradigm (participants played a video game). In one of the conditions, symmetric patterns were frequent (standard) stimuli and the random patterns w...

In this article we perform von Neumann analysis of the difference equations that arise as a result of loop quantum gravity being applied to models of cosmology and black holes. In particular, we study the numerical stability of Bianchi I LRS (symmetric and non-symmetric constraint) and Schwarzschild interior (symmetric constraint) models, and find that there exist domains over which there are i...

Let $G*H$ be the product $*$ of $G$ and $H$. In this paper we determine the rth power of the graph $G*H$ in terms of $G^r, H^r$ and $G^r*H^r$, when $*$ is the join, Cartesian, symmetric difference, disjunctive, composition, skew and corona product. Then we solve the equation $(G*H)^r=G^r*H^r$. We also compute the Wiener index and Wiener polarity index of the skew product.

let $g$ be a finite group and $gamma(g)$ the prime graph of $g$‎. ‎recently people have been using prime graphs to study simple groups‎. ‎naturally we pose a question‎: ‎can we use prime graphs to study almost‎ ‎simple groups or non-simple groups? in this paper some results in‎ ‎this respect are obtained and as follows‎: ‎$gcong s_p$ if and only‎ ‎if $|g|=|s_p|$ and $gamma(g)=gamma(s_p)$‎, ‎whe...
