Different ancient mortar samples of Pamplona Cathedral have been analyzed to characterize their binder and aggregate fractions. A complete characterization has been carried out including chemical (complete macrochemical analysis, analysis of the soluble fraction in hot HCl (1:5) and of the insoluble residue, trace elements and soluble salts, using traditional chemical procedures, ion chromatogr...

Both temperature and strain characterization of seed and regenerated gratings with and without post annealing is reported. The high temperature regeneration has significant impact on thermal characterization and mechanical strength of gratings while the post annealing has little effect. The observed difference is evidence of viscoelastic changes in glass structure.

We show that the norm graph constructed in [13] with n vertices about 1 2n 2−1/t edges, which contains no copy of Kt,(t−1)!+1, does not contain a copy of Kt+1,(t−1)!−1.

In this paper we investigate the closure ~-* under substitution-composition of a family of graphs ~,, defined by a set Lr of forbidden configurations. We first prove that ~-* can be defined by a set L~* of forbidden subgraphs. Next, using a counterexample we show that ~* is not necessarily a finite set, even when .~ is finite. We then give a sufficient condition for ~* to be finite and a simple...

Logical structures for modeling agents’ reasoning about unawareness are presented where it can hold simultaneously that: (i) agents’ beliefs about whether they are fully aware need not be veracious with partitional information; and (ii) the agent is fully aware if and only if she is aware of a fixed domain of formulae. In light of (ii), all states are deemed “possible”. Semantics operate in two...

We characterise t-perfect plane triangulations by forbidden induced subgraphs. As a consequence, we obtain that a plane triangulation is h-perfect if and only if it is perfect.

A circle graph is the intersection graph of a family of chords on a circle. There is no known characterization of circle graphs by forbidden induced subgraphs that do not involve the notions of local equivalence or pivoting operations. We characterize circle graphs by a list of minimal forbidden induced subgraphs when the graph belongs to one of the following classes: linear domino graphs, P4-t...
