Let G be a directed acyclic graph. An upward (k, h)topological book embedding of G is an upward book embedding on k pages of a subdivision of G where every edge is replaced by a path having at most h+2 vertices. In this extended abstract it is shown that every DAG with n vertices admits an upward (d + 1, 2dlogd ne − 1)-topological book embedding, where d is any integer such that d ≥ 2. The resu...

The rate of upward creeping in negatively geotropic rats aged 13 to 14 days is a function of the gravitational stimulus. The rate of upward movement on the creeping plane, like the angle of orientation, is directly proportional to the logarithm of the gravity component. The variability in the speed of creeping decreases in proportion to the logarithm of the gravitational effect. When weights ar...

A graph is upward planar if it can be drawn without edge crossings such that all edges point upward. Upward planar graphs have been studied on the plane, the standing and rolling cylinders. For all these surfaces, the respective decision problem NP-hard in general. Efficient algorithms exist if the graph contains a single source and a single sink, but only for the plane and standing cylinder He...

We report discovery of collinear-magnetism-driven ferroelectricity in the Ising chain magnet Ca3Co2-xMn(x)O6 (x approximately 0.96). Neutron diffraction shows that Co2+ and Mn4+ ions alternating along the chains exhibit an up-up-down-down ( upward arrow upward arrow downward arrow downward arrow) magnetic order. The ferroelectricity results from the inversion symmetry breaking in the upward arr...

[Purpose] To investigate the effect of upward pulling combined with shoulder retraction (upward pulling plus exercise) on scapulocostal pain and scapular position. [Subject and Methods] A 22-year-old woman with severe pain in the right and left scapulocostal areas. The horizontal distance from the inferior angle to the spinal process was measured. The tester assessed scapulocostal pain after st...

We begin with a review of the upward influence literature. Within the past decade, organizational theory and research have made substantial contributions to our understanding of the upward influence process in organizations. Conspicuously missing from this research literature is information on the relationship between the use of upward influence tactics to gender, Age and type of Industry. The ...

Although it has been shown that exceptional good deeds exert influences on people's prosocial behavior and intention, we have known little about how common moral actions in our daily life. The present study aimed to examine how upward moral comparison influenced prosocial behavioral intention as well as to explore the mediating role of guilt and the moderating role of moral identity in the foca...
