The interaction between intracellular magnesium level, adiponectin production and insulin sensitivity has been recently suggested in both diabetic patients and their first-degree relatives. The present study aimed to investigate whether magnesium supplements are able to increase plasma adiponectin and af-fect insulin sensitivity in first-degree relatives of subjects with type 2 diabetes. Sevent...

Let G 1 + G 2 , G 1 • G 2 and G 1 {G 2 } be the join, corona and cluster of graphs G 1 and G 2 , respectively. In this paper, Kirchhoff index formulae of these composite graphs are given.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to in-vestigate the effect of irradiation duration and distance of light tip to prepared samples in two different light curing unites on the degree of conversion of resin composite. Materials and Methods: Conventional halogen and blue Light emitting diode (LED) units were used for polymerization of an Opalis resin com-posite. The conversion measurements w...

the topological indices, defined as the sum of contributions of all pairs of vertices (among which are the wiener, harary, hyper–wiener indices, degree distance, and many others), are expressed in terms of contributions of edges and pairs of edges.

A theoretical relation is presented between the seismological Fourier amplitude spectrumand the mean squared value of the elastic response, which is defined by Gaussian distribution. Byshifting a general process to its mean value, spectrum of the mean squared value of the displacementis computed from the Fourier amplitude spectrum and the real part of the relative displacementtransfer function ...

Let [Formula: see text] be a simple graph. The resistance distance between [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is defined as the net effective resistance between nodes i and j in the corresponding electrical network constructed from G by replacing each edge of G with a resistor of 1 Ohm. The resistance-distance matrix of G, denoted by [Formula: see text], is a [Formula: see tex...

This paper presents the effects of instrument transformers connection points on the measured impedance by distance relays in the presence of Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS) devices with series connected branch. Distance relay tripping characteristic itself depends on the power system structural conditions, pre-fault operational conditions, and especially the ground ...

1. Introduction. In the problem of bounding the size of codes in compact homogeneous spaces, Del-sarte's polynomial method gives rise to the most powerful universal bounds on codes. Many overviews of the method exist in the literature; see for instance Levenshtein (1998). The purpose of this talk is to present a functional perspective of this method and give some examples. Let X be a compact me...
