The present paper is a note on the relative tensor degree of finite groups. This notion generalizes the tensor degree, introduced recently in literature, and allows us to adapt the concept of relative commutativity degree through the notion of nonabelian tensor square. We show two inequalities, which correlate the relative tensor degree with the relative commutativity degree of finite groups. 1...

[1] Global Positioning System (GPS) data collected in campaigns in 2000 and 2004 were processed and interpreted with other GPS data in the western Basin and Range province to provide new constraints on the rate, style, and pattern of deformation of the central and northern Walker Lane (WL), which lies near the western boundary of the Basin and Range. Across the central WL, near 38 N latitude, t...

criticism of public extension services has resulted in various countries seeking alternative approaches for provision of these services. in all these approaches, extension personnel are the key factors to the success of the implementation. today, agricultural extension services in turkey bear the responsibility of the ministry of food, agriculture and livestock. a number of non-public extension...

1. Let A1, . . . ,An be central simple disjoint algebras over a field F . Let also li|exp(Ai), mi|ind(Ai), li|mi, and for each i = 1, . . . , n, let li and mi have the same sets of prime divisors. Then there exists a field extension E/F such that exp(AiE) = li and ind(AiE) = mi, i = 1, . . . , n. 2. Let A be a central simple algebra over a field K with an involution τ of the second kind. We pro...

for any continuity point x of H . Several papers have dealt with logarithmic limit theorems of this kind and the above relation has been extended in various directions. Fahrner and Stadtmüller [5] gave an almost sure version of a maximum limit theorem. Berkes and Horváth [2] obtained a strong approximation for the logarithmic average of sample extremes. Berkes and Csáki [1] showed that not only...

Decorin, an archetypal member of the small leucine-rich proteoglycan gene family, regulates collagen fibrillogenesis and cell growth. To further explore its biological function, we examined the role of Decorin during zebrafish development. Zebrafish Decorin is a chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan that exhibits a high degree of conservation with its mammalian counterpart and displays a unique spat...

[1] We have modeled linear viscoelastic relaxation of a uniformviscosity asthenosphere following large earthquakes in the AegeanAnatolian region during the 20th century to evaluate whether this process contributes significantly to the regional velocity field. We address in particular whether southward motion of the Aegean Sea region relative to central Anatolia (and thus extension of western Tu...
