Stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis reveals the diets of different human populations in history. In this study, we performed stable isotope analysis on human skeletons from Joseon-period cemeteries discovered around Old Seoul City (Hansung). Our data clearly showed that Joseon individuals consumed more C3-based than C4-based foods as the main staples, and that the proteins they ate were...

We study farsighted coalitional stability in the context of TUgames. Chwe (1994, p.318) notes that, in this context, it is difficult to prove nonemptiness of the largest consistent set. We show that every TU-game has a nonempty largest consistent set. Moreover, the proof of this result points out that each TU-game has a farsighted stable set. We go further by providing a characterization of the...

oil in water emulsions have attracted considerable attention in food industry due to their large applications. in this study, the effect of thermal treatment on oil in water emulsions (o/w) containing 40% oil was studied. the emulsions were prepared using xanthan gum, guar gum and carboxymethyl cellulose as stabilizer and polyoxyethylen sorbitan monooleat as emulsifier. a mixture design was use...

this paper investigates the dynamics and stability properties of a discrete-time lotka-volterra type system. we first analyze stability of the fixed points and the existence of local bifurcations. our analysis shows the presence of rich variety of local bifurcations, namely, stable fixed points; in which population numbers remain constant, periodic cycles; in which population numbers oscillate amo...

bentonite deposits of economic interest are widespread in tashtab mountains (khur), east of isfahan province, iran. several bentonite deposits have been developed in this area as a result of eocene volcanic alteration. these deposits are classified as khur bentonite horizon. xrd analyses reveal that alteration products consist of na-montmorillonite, kaolinite, quartz, calcite, and crystobalite....

since 2005 a new powerful invariant of an algebra has emerged using the earlier work of horvath, hethelyi, kulshammer and murray. the authors studied morita invariance of a sequence of ideals of the center of a nite dimensional algebra over a eld of nite characteristic. it was shown that the sequence of ideals is actually a derived invariant, and most recently a slightly modied version o...

almost multiplier is rather a new concept in the theory of almost functions. in thispaper we discuss on the boundedness of almost multipliers on some special banach algebras,namely stable algebras. we also dene an adjoint and extension for almost multiplier.

in this paper, we investigate the existence of positive solutions for the ellipticequation $delta^{2},u+c(x)u = lambda f(u)$ on a bounded smooth domain $omega$ of $r^{n}$, $ngeq2$, with navier boundary conditions. we show that there exists an extremal parameter$lambda^{ast}>0$ such that for $lambda< lambda^{ast}$, the above problem has a regular solution butfor $lambda> lambda^{ast}$, the probl...
