چکیده

We study aspects of the combinatorial and graphical structure shared by a certain family of recursively generated arrays related to the operation of Nimaddition. In particular, these arrays display periodic behavior along rows and diagonals. We explain how various features of computer-generated graphics depicting these arrays are reflections of the theorems we prove.

Algebraic Structure in a Family of Nim-like Arrays

We study aspects of the algebraic structure shared by a certain family of recursively generated arrays related to the operation of Nim-addition. We first observe that each individual array represents a countably infinite, commutative loop (in the sense of quasigroups). We then prove that each loop in the family is monogenic (generated by a single element in a non-associative fashion), and use t...

Fabrication and Optical Characterization of Silicon Nanostructure Arrays by Laser Interference Lithography and Metal-Assisted Chemical Etching

In this paper metal-assisted chemical etching has been applied to pattern porous silicon regions and silicon nanohole arrays in submicron period simply by using positive photoresist as a mask layer. In order to define silicon nanostructures, Metal-assisted chemical etching (MaCE) was carried out with silver catalyst. Provided solution (or materiel) in combination with laser interference lithogr...

Prediction of Secondary Structure of Citrus Viroids Reported from Southern Iran

Abstract Viroids are smallest, single-stranded, circular, highly structured plant pathogenic RNAs that do not code for any protein. Viroids belong to two families, the Avsunviroidae and the Pospiviroidae. Members of the Pospiviroidae family adopt a rod-like secondary structure. In this study the most stable secondary structures of citrus viroid variants that reported from Fars province wer...
