A group divisible design GDD(m,n; 3, λ1, λ2) is an ordered triple (V,G,B), where V is a m+ n-set of symbols, G is a partition of V into 2 sets of sizes m,n, each set being called group, and B is a collection of 3-subsets (called blocks) of V , such that each pair of symbols from the same group occurs in exactly λ1 blocks; and each pair of symbols from different groups occurs in exactly λ2 block...

We introduce, for block size 3, the problem of minimal enclosings of GDDs with u groups of size g into GDDs with u groups of size g + 1. We prove the necessary conditions are sufficient for the embedding of any GDD with group size 1, i.e., a BIBD(v, 3, λ), into a GDD with v groups of size 2. Minimal faithful enclosings of GDDs are given for group size 2 with any index into GDDs with group size ...

In this paper, a new form of weather derivative contract, namely the climatic zone-based growth degree-day (GDD) contract, is introduced. The objective is to increase the risk management efficiency in the agricultural sector of China and to reduce the model dimension of multi-regional temperature-based weather derivatives pricing. Since the proposed contract serves as a risk management tool for...

صخلملا Seasonal variation of zooplankton biomass has been carried out at two selected sites on Greater Zab River. Monthly samples of water were collected during period from January to December 2008. Some physico-chemical properties of water were studied including water temperature (from 8 to 30.5 C), hydrogen ion concentration (from 6.3 to 8), EC (from 255 to 821 μs.cm), turbidity (1085 NTU), d...

BACKGROUND Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is the current gold standard for the assessment of left ventricular (LV) function. Repeated breath-holds are needed for standard multi-slice 2D cine steady-state free precession sequences (M2D-SSFP). Accelerated single breath-hold techniques suffer from low contrast between blood pool and myocardium. In this study an intravascular contrast agen...
