was taken from indwelling jugular cannulae at 30 min intervals for 48 hr, a testis being removed under local anaesthesia (Lignocaine, Pharmaceutical Man. Co.) from each animal after 24 hr. Testosterone concentrations in plasma were measured by the radioimmunoassay method of Haynes, Hafs, Waters, Manns & Riley (1975) and LH concentrations by the radioimmunological procedure described by Oxender,...

The increasing demand for new multimedia services requires the higher performance routers. The performance of Internet router highly depends on the efficiency of update operations as well as lookup operations on IP forwarding table. While IP lookup schemes based on TCAM(Ternary Content Addressable Memory) can achieve high speed lookup, they usually need more complex update operations because of...

Good and Hughes [9] introduced the notion of bi-ideal and Steinfeld [11, 12] introduced the notion of quasi-ideal. Sioson [10] studied some properties of quasi-ideals of ternary semigroups. In [1], Dixit and Dewan studied about the quasi-ideals and bi-ideals of ternary semigroups. Quasi-ideals are generalization of right ideals, lateral ideals, and left ideals whereas bi-ideals are generalizati...

Ternary subdivision schemes compare favorably with their binary analogues because they are able to generate limit functions with the same (or higher) smoothness but smaller support. In this work we consider the two issues of local tension control and conics reproduction in univariate interpolating ternary refinements. We show that both these features can be included in a unique interpolating 4-...

I NSULIN is essential for the normal metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins in the monogastric animal (Tepperman, 1968) ; however, its role in the normal metabolism of ruminants is poorly understood. Since alloxan-induced diabetes produced a similar response in ruminant and nonruminant animals (Reid, Hinks and Mills, 1963; Jarret, 1946) and depancreatized sheep behaved similarly to al...

We consider commutation between multi-variable functions defined over a fixed non-empty set A. A centralizing monoid M is a set of unary functions which commute with all members of some given set F of functions, where F is called a witness of M . In this paper, we focus on the case where A is a three-element set and determine all centralizing monoids which have ternary majority functions as the...

We offer some partition functions related to ternary quadratic forms, and note on its asymptotic behavior. We offer these results as an application of a simple method related to conjugate Bailey pairs.

A new application of a hybrid material exhibiting the photoelectrochemical photocurrent switching (peps) effect in a three-valued logic device is reported. In contrast to other similar peps-based systems, the one described here is capable of performing basic ternary logic operations: gullibility and consensus.
