We study the following Maker/Breaker game. Maker and Breaker take turns in choosing vertices from a given n-uniform hypergraph F , with Maker going first. Maker’s goal is to completely occupy a hyperedge and Breaker tries to avoid this. Beck conjectures that if the maximum neighborhood size of F is at most 2 then Breaker has a winning strategy. We disprove this conjecture by establishing an n-u...

Advances in structural biology have provoked a re-evaluation of the biological significance of the disordered state of proteins. We believe that the rules that govern structure, stability and kinetics in the molecular recognition between disordered polypeptide chains can be elucidated by studying processes that couple association with folding. The reassembly of single domain proteins by fragmen...

The current state of analysis of e+e− annihilation below 2.0 GeV and of the vector component of τ -decay is reviewed. The evidence for and against the presence of hybrid vectors is discussed. It is concluded that the data strongly favour their inclusion, and the consequences of this are outlined.

Relations are found between grain boundary character distribution, misorientation distribution and two-point orientation distribution. Some of these relations are analogies for polycrystals of the Debye-Anderson-Brumberger formula and Berryman formula established for two-phase composites.

Technology is influencing education, providing new delivery and assessment models. A combination between online and traditional course, the hybrid (blended) course, may present a solution with many benefits as it provides a gradual transition towards technology enabled education. This research work provides a set of definitions for several course delivery approaches, and evaluates five years of...

Sums of squares of |ζ(1 2 + it)| over short intervals are investigated. Known upper bounds for the fourth and twelfth moment of |ζ(1 2 + it)| are derived. A discussion concerning other possibilities for the estimation of higher power moments of |ζ(1 2 + it)| is given.

Two hundred twenty-two sinus augmentation procedures were performed using one of three techniques: crestal approach; lateral approach; or lateral approach with simultaneous implant placement. Forty-one of these sinus augmentation procedures were performed in conjunction with buccolingual ridge augmentation. Of the 222 procedures, 217 (97.7%) were successful. Of 510 implants placed in augmented ...
