Let £ be a $0$-distributive lattice with the least element $0$, the greatest element $1$, and ${rm Z}(£)$ its set of zero-divisors. In this paper, we introduce the total graph of £, denoted by ${rm T}(G (£))$. It is the graph with all elements of £ as vertices, and for distinct $x, y in £$, the vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if $x vee y in {rm Z}(£)$. The basic properties of the ...

Several high-resolution proxy environmental records have been obtained for the last 35 kyr from ODP Hole 658C, a well-studied site ca. 200 km o€ Cap Blanc, NW Africa. The collective assessment based on the marine proxies (U 0 37 SST, contents of TOC and chlorins, Upwelling Radiolarian Index and the percentage of Florisphaera profunda), surprisingly indicates that the last glacial maximum (LGM) ...

We provide a general framework to remove short advice by formulating the following computational task for a function f : given two oracles at least one of which is honest (i.e. correctly computes f on all inputs) as well as an input, the task is to compute f on the input with the help of the oracles by a probabilistic polynomial-time machine, which we shall call a selector. We characterize the ...

The Leg 104 organic geochemistry program consisted of monitoring (a) hydrocarbon gases, (b) organic and inorganic carbon, and (c) parameters resulting from Rock-Eval pyrolysis at three sites on the Vdring Plateau. The results amplify some of those obtained earlier on Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) Leg 38. In a regional sense there is an inverse correlation between amounts of hydrocarbon gas a...
