The complexity of the winner determination problem has been studied for almost all common voting rules. A notable exception, possibly caused by some confusion regarding its exact definition, is the method of ranked pairs. The original version of the method, due to Tideman, yields a social preference function that is irresolute and neutral. A variant introduced subsequently uses an exogenously g...

‎In this paper‎, ‎we introduce the notion of strongly $k-$spaces (with the weak (=finest) pre-topology generated by their strongly compact subsets)‎. ‎We characterize the strongly $k-$spaces and investigate the relationships between preclosedness‎, ‎locally strongly compactness‎, ‎pre-first countableness and being strongly $k-$space.

Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli have been associated with HUS, HC and TTP in human. We found recto-anal mucosal sample in sheep as well in cattle is the main site for E. coli O157 localization. 1246 E. coli isolates from 872 both healthy and diarrheic animals were analyzed, by screening for the presence of Shiga toxin-producing (VT 1 and VT 2) and intimin (eae) genes used Multiplex PCR. ...

the concept of algebraic hyperstructures introduced by marty as a generalization of ordinary algebraic structures. in an ordinary algebraic structure, the composition of two elements is an element, while in an algebraic hyperstructure, the composition of two elements is a set. the concept of ?-semihyperrings is a generalization of semirings, a generalization of semihyper rings and a generalizat...

We study the notion of a strongly normal sequence in the dual E∗ of a Banach space E. In particular, we prove that the following three conditions are equivalent: (1) E∗ has a strongly normal sequence, (2) (E∗, σ(E∗, E)) has a Schauder basic sequence, (3) E has an infinite-dimensional separable quotient.

Polypyrrole-chitosan nanocomposite (PPy-CTN) was synthesized by dispersion polymerization of PPy in presence of CTN. Preparation of spherical PPy nanoparticles that were successfully covered with a thin layer of chitosan was confirm by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) technique. Characterization techniques also revealed the presence of CNT in the polymer matrix and its presence was confir...
