Annual medic is an annual crop which performs well in various forage cropping systems. However availability of medic seeds is a major challenge for livestock producers in Iran. This study was conducted to determine if intercropping annual medic with barley can produce supplement medic seeds while barley grain yield as the main crop is not compromised. Two experiments were carried out at the exp...

Recently, Gu, Lai and Liang proved necessary and sufficient conditions for a given sequence of positive integers d1, d2, . . . , dn to be the degree sequence of a line– Hamiltonian multigraph. Our goal in this note is to utilize this result to prove a closed formula for the function dlh(2m), the number of degree sequences with degree sum 2m representable by line–Hamiltonian multigraphs. Indeed,...

We study the Howe dualities involving the reductive dual pairs (O(d), spo(2m|2n)) and (Sp(d), osp(2m|2n)) on the (super)symmetric tensor of C ⊗ C. We obtain complete decompositions of this space with respect to their respective joint actions. We also use these dualities to derive a character formula for these irreducible representations of spo(2m|2n) and osp(2m|2n) that appear in these decompos...

Hepatic angiosarcoma (HAS) is rare but often fatal. A review of literature in 1979 found that only 3% of the 70 patients lived for more than 2 years, but the survival might have been improved over the years. We conducted a retrospective study and reviewed the medical records of patients who visited a teaching hospital in Taiwan from January 2000 to August 2010 and had pathological proof of HAS....

this paper introduces a numerical method for solving the vasicek model by using a stochastic operational matrix based on the triangular functions (tfs) in combination with the collocation method. the method is stated by using conversion the vasicek model to a stochastic nonlinear system of $2m+2$ equations and $2m+2$ unknowns. finally, the error analysis and some numerical examples are provided...

The plasma cell labeling index (PCLI) and serum beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2M) are independent prognostic factors in multiple myeloma (MM). Recently, levels of thymidine kinase (TK) and C-reactive protein (CRP) have been shown to have prognostic value. We studied 107 patients with newly diagnosed myeloma to determine whether TK and CRP values added prognostic information not already available u...

CpG oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) stimulate the immune system and are under evaluation as treatments and vaccine adjuvants for infectious diseases, cancer, and immune system disorders. Although they have shown promising results in numerous clinical trials, the ultimate use of CpG ODN-based therapeutics may hinge on improved pharmacokinetics and reduced systemic side-effects. CpG ODN efficacy and ...

Аннотация The Doob graph D(m, n), where m > 0, is the direct product of m copies of The Shrikhande graph and n copies of the complete graph K 4 on 4 vertices. The Doob graph D(m, n) is a distance-regular graph with the same parameters as the Hamming graph H(2m + n, 4). In this paper we consider MDS codes in Doob graphs with code distance d ≥ 3. We prove that if 2m + n > 6 and 2 < d < 2m + n, th...
