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...

The genetic analysis of nervous system development has revealed a’wealth of information about the molecular mechanisms that generate neural precursors and neuronal cell type diversity (Shankland and Macagno, 1992). Until recently, however, relatively little has been known about the genetic control of gliogenesis, in part because of the comparative lack of early markers specific for glial cellso...
