In this paper, we introduce the notion of generalized interval order (GIO) which extends the notion of interval order in non-transitive binary relations. This allow us to extend the classical representation theorem of Fishburn in [5]. We also provide sufficient conditions which ensure the existence of the Generalized Optimal Choice Set (GOCS) of GIOs. Finally, we characterize the existence of t...

DURING iTS two hundred and sixty-eight years of domination over the Maltese Islands (1530-1798), the Order of St. John of Jerusalem waged an unceasing war against the Barbary and Turkish pirates in the Mediterranean. Those who escaped death were enslaved by the victor, irrespective of sex or age, or whether they were combatants or simply passengers and crews of unarmed vessels; so much so that ...

Decreased bone formation is responsible for the pathogenesis of glucocorticoid- (GC-) induced osteoporosis (GIO), while the mechanism remains to be elucidated. The aim was to investigate how natural antioxidant tanshinol attenuates oxidative stress and rescues impaired bone formation elicited by GC in Sprague-Dawley rats and in C2C12 cells and/or MC3T3-E1 cells. The results showed that tanshino...

In this paper, we defined the Zq-linear codes and discussed its various parameters. We constructed Zq-Simplex code and Zq-MacDonald code and found its parameters. We have given a lower and an upper bounds of its covering radius for q is an even integer.
