A positional game can be thought of as a generalization of Tic-Tac-Toe played on a hypergraph (V,H). We study the Maker-Breaker game in which Maker wins if she occupies all of the vertices in an edge of H; otherwise Breaker wins. The Erdős–Selfridge Theorem, a significant result in positional game theory, gives criteria for the existence of an explicit winning strategy for Breaker for the game ...

A membrane-associated lipoxygenase from breaker-stage fruit of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) was purified and partially sequenced. Using degenerate oligonucleotides corresponding to portions of this sequence, a cDNA was amplified by PCR and used to screen a breaker fruit cDNA library. Two clones, tomloxA and tomloxB, were isolated and one of these (tomloxA) corresponded to the isolated...

Ultra Wide Band Radio (UWB) is also known as the impulse radio (IR). It will become one of the most competitive technologies, especially in the high speed data transmission, high precision positioning, tracking and other fields; it has broad application prospects in the future. The main function of the highvoltage circuit breaker in the power grid is breaking, closing and carrying run normal cu...

We study Maker/Breaker games on the edges of the complete graph, as introduced by Chvátal and Erdős. We show that in the (m : b) clique game played on KN , the complete graph on N vertices, Maker can achieve a Kq for q = ( m log 2 (b+1) − o(1) ) · logN , which partially solves an open problem by Beck. Moreover, we show that in the (1:1) clique game played on KN for a sufficiently large N , Make...

To discover the nonlinear characteristics of pipe flow, we simulated the flow as a sum of many vortex rings. As a first step, we investigated the nonlinear interaction among a maximum of three vortex rings. The pipe wall was replaced by many bound vortices. A free vortex ring moves right or left according to the radius, and that of a particular radius keeps the initial position. The energy of a...

Redesign of traditional relays with microcontroller-based relays can be used to achieve a higher level of reliability. In this study, the results of redesign and prototyping of a synchrocheck relay using an 8952 microcontroller with improved reliability is discussed. These relays are usually used for paralleling two load-generation islands, or for closing an open loop in an electric power syste...

This paper deals with the power flow modulation and control using the various power system. In this paper the efficient usage of power produced is defined. The battery management system is introduced in order to store the excess power produced and use that power in case of power deficiency. The battery management is controlled using the fuzzy logic controller which is one of the intelligent con...

  Using small groups in teaching and learning has a long history. Evidence suggests that by applying some defined guidelines, it would be possible to reinforce the effectiveness of the small groups teaching. One of these guidelines is related to ice-breaker activities which would be applied by the facilitators at the start of the session, which are noticeably significant. The aim of the presen...
