AS ELSEWHERE IN the world, demographic changes have been fundamental to the emergence of modernity in the Tibetan areas of western China. These areas hereafter are referred to as Tibet, which includes the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) and the Tibetan autonomous areas absorbed into Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan, and Yunnan Provinces (see Figure 1). The demographic changes include the onset of the demo...

In this research, the performance and kinetics of an iron/manganese oxide catalyst in a fixed-bed reactor by Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis is studied. The range of operating conditions are; P = 1 – 12 bar, T = 513 - 553 K, H2/CO ratio = 1 - 2 and GHSV = 4200 – 7000 ((〖cm〗^3 (STP))/h/g_cat). The effect of these independent variables, on Fischer-Tropsch product were performed by using a statistical m...

The full automorphism group of $U_6(2)$ is a group of the form $U_6(2){:}S_3$. The group $U_6(2){:}S_3$ has a maximal subgroup $2^9{:}(L_3(4){:}S_3)$ of order 61931520. In the present paper, we determine the Fischer-Clifford matrices (which are not known yet) and hence compute the character table of the split extension $2^9{:}(L_3(4){:}S_3)$.

In contrast to the generalized Fischer-Burmeister function that is a natural extension of the popular Fischer-Burmeister function NCP-function, the generalized natural residual NCP-function based on discrete extension, recently proposed by Chen, Ko, and Wu, does not possess symmetric graph. In this paper we symmetrize the generalized natural residual NCP-function, and construct not only new NCP...

the group $2^6{{}^{cdot}} g_2(2)$ is a maximal subgroup of the rudvalis group $ru$ of index 188500 and has order 774144 = $2^{12}.3^3.7$. in this paper, we construct the character table of the group $2^6{{}^{cdot}} g_2(2)$ by using the technique of fischer-clifford matrices.

BACKGROUND The pathogenesis of Francisella tularensis, the causative agent of tularemia, has been primarily characterized in mice. However, the high degree of sensitivity of mice to bacterial challenge, especially with the human virulent strains of F. tularensis, limits this animal model for screening of defined attenuated vaccine candidates for protection studies. METHODS AND FINDINGS We ana...
