for some N ≥ k + 1, then the equality in (1.2) occurs only when a = 0. Kruskal-Macaulay functions are relevant for their applications to the study of antichains in multisets (see for example [11, 2]), posets, rings and polyhedral combinatorics (see [5] and the survey [3]). In particular, they play and important role in proving results, extensions and generalizations of classical problems concer...

Objective Contralateral suppression of oto acoustic emission (OAE) is referred as activation of efferent system. Previous literature mentioned about the importance of contralateral suppression of OAEs as a tool to assess efferent system in different groups of population. There is dearth of literature to explore the efferent system function in experienced musicians exposed to rock music using TE...

Recent botanical collections by H. S. McKee and Douglas E. Yen, together with the few available records from published papers, have been collated into a checklist of the known vascular plants of the Horne and Wallis Islands. Of 248 species here listed, 170 appear to be indigenous. Many of these are widespread, but 45 of them are limited to the Fijian Region (New Hebrides to Samoa) . Of the four...

We explore criteria that data must meet in order for the Kruskal-Wallis test to reject the null hypothesis by computing the number of unique ranked 1 data sets in the balanced case where each of the m alternatives has n observations. We show that the Kruskal-Wallis test tends to be conservative in rejecting the null hypothesis, and we offer a correction that improves its performance. We then co...

We develop a general theory for the emergence of minority governments in multiparty parliamentary systems using a bargaining model in the tradition of Baron and Ferejohn, 1989. We show that generically (i.e. except for a set of Lebesgue measure zero in the space of the model’s parameters) minority governments form with strictly positive probability when office utility from cabinet positions is ...

As Boeing 737-800 Flight simulator get more and more demanding in terms of rendering time and authenticity. In order to reduce the amount of image data, we use the large region low-resolution remote sensing image mosaic with small region high-resolution remote sensing image. Meanwhile, for the color imbalances between images, we propose the global Wallis transform method based on HSI color spac...
