Let ) (m max G ξ denote the maximum number of edges in a subgraph of graph G induced by m nodes. The n -dimensional augmented cube, denoted as n AQ , a variation of the hypercube, possesses some properties superior to those of the hypercube. We study the cases when G is the augmented cube n AQ . In this paper, we show that i p i r i n AQ i p m max )2 2 1 2 ( = ) ( 0 = − + ∑ ξ , where r p p p > ...

Microbial dissimilatory iron reduction (DIR) is widespread in anaerobic sediments and is a key producer of aqueous Fe(II) in suboxic sediments that contain reactive ferric oxides. Previous studies have shown that DIR produces some of the largest natural fractionations of stable Fe isotopes, although the mechanism of this isotopic fractionation is not yet well understood. Here we compare Fe isot...

rangelands are known as one of the main income resources for their exploiters.in the recent century, management of iran rangeland has undergone vast transformationsbecause of vulnerable socio-economic conditions of pastoralists. a study was done toprovide a clear picture of the status and utilization of aq qala rangelands via assessinginternal and external environmental factors affecting the ut...

Aquagenic urticaria (AQ) is a rare physical urticaria induced by contact with water. It may be distinctive clinically, evident as 1-2 mm folliculopapular urticaria, a pattern also characteristic of cholinergic urticaria. AQ has a truncal and upper extremity distribution within 20-30 minutes after contact with water, regardless of its temperature or source. AQ is usually symptomatic with mild to...

BACKGROUND Besides existing artemisinin-based combination therapies, alternative safe, effective and affordable drug combinations against falciparum malaria are needed. Methylene blue (MB) was the first synthetic antimalarial drug ever used, and recent studies have been promising with regard to its revival in malaria therapy. The objective of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of ...

1.1. Fix a surjective morphism of fine monoids π : P → Q, and let j : AQ ↪→ AP be the corresponding closed immersion, where AP := Spec(k[P ]) and AQ := Spec(k[Q]). Assume further that the associated groups P gp and Q are torsion free, and that Q is sharp. Let TP (resp. TQ) denote the torus associated to the group P gp (resp. Q) so that TP acts on AP and TQ acts on AQ. The map π induces an inclu...

Knowledge extraction and acute forecasting are among the most challenging issues concerning the use of computational intelligence (CI) methods in real world applications. Both aspects are essential in cases where decision making is required, especially in domains directly related to the quality of life, like the quality of the atmospheric environment. In the present paper we emphasize on short ...

Codes in finite projective spaces equipped with the subspace distance have been proposed for error control in random linear network coding. The resulting so-called Main Problem of Subspace Coding is to determine the maximum size Aq(v, d) of a code in PG(v−1,Fq) with minimum subspace distance d. Here we completely resolve this problem for d ≥ v − 1. For d = v − 2 we present some improved bounds ...
