Placing column lap-splice in the locations of possible nonlinear deformation may adversely affect the structures response to strong ground motions. Localization of damage in splice zone may change the structural response and prevent the load redistribution and development of a uniform pattern of nonlinear excursions among the various members. Validated by existing laboratory experiments, this s...

In a previous study, the relaxant and anticholinergic (functional antagonism) effects of Bunium persicum (B. persicum ) have been demonstrated on guinea pig tracheal chains. To elucidate the other mechanisms responsible for this relaxant effect, the inhibitory effect of this plant on histamine H1 receptors was examined in this study. The antihistaminic effects of aqueous and macerated extracts,...

In this paper, we give a ‘direct’ construction of the endomorphism ring of supersingular elliptic curves over a prime field Fp from ‘ideal classes’ of Q( √−p). We use the result to prove that the result of Kaneko on ‘minimal’ CM liftings of such supersingular elliptic curves is a best possible result. We also prove that the result of Elkies on ‘minimal’ CM liftings of all supersingular elliptic...

the β2-adrenergic effects of macerated extract, aqueous extract, ethanol extract, and essential oil of carum copticum, 5 nm propranolol, and saline were tested by performing cumulative log concentration-response curves of isoprenaline-induced relaxation of precontracted isolated guinea pig tracheal chains in three different conditions including: non-incubated (group 1, n=9) incubated with 1 µm ...

in this note we review a simple criterion, due to ekedahl, for superspecial curves defined over finite fields.using this we generalize and give some simple proofs for some well-known superspecial curves.

The forced response curve is a graph showing the amplitude of the response of a periodically forced system as the forcing frequency is varied. Zhang and Golubitsky (SIADS, 10(4) (2011) 1272–1306) classified the existence and multiplicity of periodic responses to small amplitude periodic forcing of a system near a Hopf bifurcation point, where the forcing frequency, ωF , is close to the Hopf fre...
