In this note, we show how the determinant of the q-distance matrix Dq(T ) of a weighted directed graph G can be expressed in terms of the corresponding determinants for the blocks of G, and thus generalize the results obtained by Graham et al. [R.L. Graham, A.J. Hoffman and H. Hosoya, On the distance matrix of a directed graph, J. Graph Theory 1 (1977) 85–88]. Further, by means of the result, w...

We define an effect system, based upon visibly pushdown languages (VPLs), for a programming language that processes streams of tokens with parenthesis-like matching, as found in XML documents or s-expressions. The effect analysis ensures that programs read and write words in which tokens match, despite the fact that tokens are read and written individually. In particular, the novel treatment of...

let $a = (a_{i,j})_{1 leq i,j leq n}$ be an $n times n$ matrixwhere $n geq 2$. let $dt(a)$, its second immanant be the immanant corresponding to the partition $lambda_2 = 2,1^{n-2}$. let $g$ be a connected graph with blocks $b_1, b_2, ldots b_p$ and with$q$-exponential distance matrix $ed_g$. we given an explicitformula for $dt(ed_g)$ which shows that $dt(ed_g)$ is independent of the manner in ...

Effect of Mean Stress on Low-Cycle Fatigue Strength of a Medium Carbon Steel S45C True Stress-Controlled Cyclingby Tatsuo ENDO*, Shoji HARADA*, Yoshihiro FUKUSHIMA* and Haruo SAKAMOTO** Nominal stress-controlled low-cycle fatigue life under imposed mean stress is affected by elongation or contraction due to cyclic stress-induced creep. Therefore, the effect of mean stress was examined by a micr...
