In event-related brain potential (ERP) studies using a visual S1-S2 matching task, change stimuli elicit a posterior positivity at around 100-200 ms. In the present study, we investigated the effects of magnitude of spatial frequency changes on change-related positivity. Each trial consisted of two sequentially presented stimuli (S1-S2), where S2 was either (1) the same as S1 (i.e., NO-change, ...

To evaluate the relationship between total organic carbon (TOC) and Rock-Eval S2 (petroleum potential) of petroleum source rocks, atotal of 180 outcrop samples from the black organic matter–rich facies of Mesozoic strata from a locality of southwest of Iran wereinvestigated using Rock-Eval VI pyrolysis and Leco Carbon Analyzer. The linear regression is applied to determine the correlationbetwee...

Given any -tuple ( s1, s2, . . . , s ) of positive integers, there is an integer N = N ( s1, s2, . . . , s ) such that an orthogonal design of order 2 ( s1 + s2 + · · ·+ s ) and type ( 2s1, 2 s2, . . . , 2 s ) exists, for each n ≥ N . This complements a result of Eades et al. which in turn implies that if the positive integers s1, s2, . . . , s are all highly divisible by 2, then there is a ful...

This study was carried out to investigate the direct and indirect responses to selection for four-week body weight (4 week body (wk BW)) and four-week breast weight (4 week breast weight (wk BRW)) and to determine the genetic contribution of reminder founders to the last generation. A total number of 351 birds were equally allocated to three lines, including two selected lines (S1 and S2 for BW...

‘Rangpur’ lime (Citrus limonia Osbeck cv. Cravo) is widely used as a rootstock for citrus seedlings, although factors such luminosity and substrate composition are extremely important to obtain quality seedlings. The objective of this study was analyze the formation seedlings grown in different substrates luminosities. A 3x4 factorial arrangement an RBD with four replications twelve plants. Thr...

From now on X denotes a set and S denotes a family of subsets of X. Now we state the propositions: (1) Let us consider sets X1, X2, a family S1 of subsets of X1, and a family S2 of subsets of X2. Then {a×b, where a is an element of S1, b is an element of S2 : a ∈ S1 and b ∈ S2} = {s, where s is a subset of X1 ×X2 : there exist sets a, b such that a ∈ S1 and b ∈ S2 and s = a × b}. Proof: {a × b,...

This note is an addendum to Sum theorems for monotone operators and convex functions. In it, we prove some new results on convex functions and monotone operators, and use them to show that several of the constraint qualifications considered in the preceding paper are, in fact, equivalent. Introduction We continue with the notation and the numbering of [4]. For the moment, we shall assume that E...

Proposition 1. Consider two stocking policies s1 and s2 where for some j , s2 j = s1 j − 1, s2 j−1 = s1 j−1 + 1, and s2 i = s1 i , ∀ i = j j − 1. We have that: (i) ILi s2 i s 2 N ≥ ILi s1 i s1 N for i ∈ 1 j − 1 , and (ii) ∑j i=1 Bi i s 2 i s 2 N ≥ ∑j i=1 Bi i s 1 i s 1 N . Proof. From (6) and (7) we find that ILj s2 j s 2 N = ILj s1 j − 1 s1 j+1 s1 N = ILj s1 j s1 N − 1. Thus from (8) and (9), ...

We study inverse semigroup amalgams [S1, S2;U ], where S1 and S2 are finitely presented inverse semigroups with decidable word problem and U is an inverse semigroup with decidable membership problem in S1 and S2. We use a modified version of Bennett’s work on the structure of Schützenberger graphs of the R-classes of S1 ∗U S2 to state sufficient conditions for the amalgamated free products S1 ∗...
