in order to study the ecology of the genius microtus schrank, 1798 (mammalia: rodentia) in nwof iran, three regions including salmas, marand, and moghan were selected. the number of active nests of m. socialis and m. aff. socialis (2n=54) were detected during spring and autumn. in this period, detection were made in three blocks of each location (each one 20×50m) with intervals of one week in 2...

In this paper, deep holes of Reed-Solomon (RS) codes are studied. A new class of deep holes for generalized affine RS codes is given if the evaluation set satisfies certain combinatorial structure. Three classes of deep holes for projective Reed-Solomon (PRS) codes are constructed explicitly. In particular, deep holes of PRS codes with redundancy three are completely obtained when the character...

We investigate the topological black holes in a special class of Lovelock gravity. In the odd dimensions, the action is the Chern-Simons form for the anti-de Sitter group. In the even dimensions, it is the Euler density constructed with the Lorentz part of the anti-de Sitter curvature tensor. The Lovelock coefficients are reduced to two independent parameters: cosmological constant and gravitat...

We consider static black holes, which are bosonic solutions of supersymmetric theories. We will show that supersymmetry provides a natural framework for a discussion of various properties of such static black holes. The most fundamental property of simple global supersymmetry, non-negativeness of the energy, is generalized in the black hole theory to cosmic censorship. The SUSY classification o...

Given a 2D binary image it is sometimes of interest to determine invariant topological properties, such as Euler number and holes which can reflect directly the complexity of a binary image. Counting the number of holes of binary images is an important problem arising in medical image processing, phototypesetting, petroleum exploration, earthquake prediction, and pattern recognition. In this pa...

While until recently they were often considered as exotic objects of dubious existence, in the last decades there have been overwhelming observational evidences for the presence of stellar mass black holes in binary systems, supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies, and possibly, intermediate-mass black holes observed as ultraluminous X-ray sources in nearby galaxies. Black holes are...

The optical properties of rectangular subwavelength holes in a gold film are investigated using the light generated when a focused beam of electrons impinges on the sample close to the hole. Using this technique, multi-spectral maps of the holes are obtained with a resolution beyond the optical diffraction limit. The results show the influence of hole shape on the spectrum of locally scattered ...

We investigate solutions of new massive gravity with two commuting Killing vectors, one of which is null, with a special emphasis on black hole solutions. Besides extreme BTZ black holes and, for a special value of the coupling constant, massless null warped black holes, we also obtain for a critical coupling a family of massive “log” black holes. These are asymptotic to the extreme BTZ black h...

We give several pieces of evidence to show that extremal black holes cannot be obtained as limits of non-extremal black holes. We review arguments in the literature showing that the entropy of extremal black holes is zero, while that of near-extremal ones obey the Bekenstein-Hawking formula. However, from the counting of degeneracy of quantum (BPS) states of string theory the entropy of extrema...

We consider charged rotating black holes in 5-dimensional EinsteinMaxwell theory. These black holes are asymptotically flat, they possess a regular horizon of spherical topology and two independent angular momenta associated with two distinct planes of rotation. We discuss their global and horizon properties, and derive a generalized Smarr formula. We construct these black holes numerically, fo...
