In preliminary studies, the dose of each drug which produced a 90 to 95 per cent decrease of the grip strength, or a :ity, whichever was greater, was selected. The enzymatic hydrolysis of SCh was prevented by the intravenous administra4 a selective inhibitor of plasma cholinesterase. The doses of the relaxants stu...

Glasses containing various amounts of aluminum and fluorin were crystallized by the heat treatment. Bending strengths of the crystallized glasses were measured, the crystalline phases were identified by X-ray diffraction method, and the microstructures were examined by electrommicroscopy. The relation between the microstructure and the bending strength was studied. The results obtained are summ...

Upon unloading in a forming process there is elastic recovery, which is the release of the elastic strains and the redistribution of the residual stresses through the thickness direction. It causes changes in shape and dimensions that can create major problem in the external appearance of outer panels. Thus surface deflection prediction is an important issue in sheet metal forming industry. The...

This paper discusses the application of different algorithm transformation techniques in Code Division Multiple Access receivers (CDMA). This is achieved by looking at some of the computational blocks that constitute the CDMA receivers. We focus on the Look-Ahead, Relaxed Look-ahead and Strength Reduction algorithm transformation techniques and demonstrate how CDMA receivers could benefit when ...

Let G be a simple graph with no isolated edges and at most one isolated vertex. For a positive integer w, a w-weighting of G is a map f : E(G) → {1, 2, . . . , w}. An irregularity strength of G, s(G), is the smallest w such that there is a w-weighting of G for which ∑

Consider a simple graph G with no isolated edges and at most one isolated vertex. A labeling w : E(G) → {1, 2, . . . ,m} is called product-irregular, if all product degrees pdG(v) = ∏ e3v w(e) are distinct. The goal is to obtain a product-irregular labeling that minimizes the maximum label. This minimum value is called the product irregularity strength. The analogous concept of irregularity str...

For I a proper, countably complete ideal on P(X) for some set X , can the quotient Boolean algebra P(X)/I be complete? This question was raised by Sikorski [Si] in 1949. By a simple projection argument as for measurable cardinals, it can be assumed that X is an uncountable cardinal κ, and that I is a κ-complete ideal on P(κ) containing all singletons. In this paper we provide consequences from ...

This study presents an extended model of homeostatic adaptation designed to exploit the internal dynamics of a neural network in the absence of sensory input. In order to avoid typical convergence to asymptotic states under these conditions plastic changes in the network are induced in evolved neurocontrollers leading to a renewal of dynamics that may favour sensorimotor adaptation. Other measu...

The two-point angular correlation function is a traditional method used to search for deviations from expectations of isotropy. In this paper we develop and explore a statistically descriptive three-point method with the intended application being the search for deviations from isotropy in the highest energy cosmic rays. We compare the sensitivity of a two-point method and a “shape-strength” me...

We measure the correlation between the spin of the top quark and the spin of the anti-top quark in t ¯ t → W + bW − ¯ b → ℓ + νbℓ − ¯ ν ¯ b final states produced in p¯ p collisions at a center of mass energy √ s = 1.96 TeV, where ℓ is an electron or muon. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb −1 and were collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The c...
