The most famous result of extremal combinatorics is probably the celebrated theorem of Turán [20] determining the maximal number ex(n;Kr) of edges in a Kr-free graph on n vertices. Asymptotically, ex(n;Kr) ≈ ( 1− 1 r−1 ) ( n 2 ) . The non-trivial part (that is, the upper bound) of this theorem in the contrapositive form can be stated as follows: any graph G with m > ex(n;Kr) edges contains at l...

Introduction: The D’Orbigny angrite, a 16.55 kg stone, was found 1979 in Argentina [1]. Mineralogy and chemistry of this meteorite were characterized in detail [2-6]. A Pb-U-Th age of 4.559 Ga was obtained for pyroxenes by Jagoutz et al. [7]. Here we report results on the noble gas isotopic composition and, in particular, on the cosmic-ray exposure (CRE) age of D’Orbigny. Cosmogenic component: ...

A subset of insulin requiring diabetes in the young (IRDY) is ketosis resistant. Its pathogenesis and pathophysiology remain ill defined. The current study was done to evaluate the exocrine and endocrine dysfunction in ketosis resistant young diabetics. Fecal chymotrypsin (unit/G), basal & stimulated c-peptide levels (pmol/ml) and sonographic evaluation of the pancreas were done in 59 IRDY pati...

The mutagenic effect of gamma rays, ethyl methane sulphonate (EMS) and sodium Azide (SA) used either singly or in combination were observed for induced genetic variability for yield and yield traits in M and 2 M generation in the two cultivars of Basmati rice. The observation mean range and coefficient of variation (CV) 3 suggest that the mutagen treatment had wider values than the control. The...

We investigate two training-set methods: support vector machines (SVMs) and Kernel Regression (KR) for photometric redshift estimation with the data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 5 and Two Micron All Sky Survey databases. We probe the performances of SVMs and KR for different input patterns. Our experiments show that the more parameters considered, the accuracy doesn’t always i...

Among different doses of gamma rays, 1.5 kR induced 71.84% callus in Basrnati rice in amodified MS medium and 2% redifferentiation under anon-saline environment, 20% callusing response with 7.5%,2.8% and 2.5% redifferentiation was induced by 2.0 kR at electrical conductivity (EC) of 4,s and 6 dS.m of NaCl respectively, in regeneration medium. A non-irradiated non-saline environment reveale...

Urotensin II (UII) is a potent vasoactive peptide and mitogenic agent to induce proliferation of various cells including vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). In this study, we examined the effects of a novel UII receptor (UT) antagonist, KR-36676, on vasoconstriction of aorta and proliferation of aortic SMCs. In rat aorta, UII-induced vasoconstriction was significantly inhibited by KR-36676 in...

Validity of QSS Many systems of chemical reactions obey QSSA in all but the initial moments of the reaction [1]. QSSA treats the rates of change of the intermediates’ concentrations ( dt and d[J] dt in our system) as small enough to be approximated as 0. The validity of QSSA is ensured when the timescale of the overall reaction is slower than the timescale at which I and J reach their quasi-ste...
