It is shown that the extended polar space for the sporadic Fischer group Fi22 is the only extended polar space which has more than two extended planes on a block and is not isomorphic to a quotient of an affine polar space over GF(2). New examples of EGQ(4, 1) and EGQ(4, 2) are presented as well.

Bulb yield and storability of onions (cv. BARI Piaj-1) was studied against five levels of irrigation viz., no irrigation, irrigation at 10, 15, 20, and 30 days interval. Yield and storage losses were increased gradually with increasing number of irrigation. The highest yield of onion was obtained with a total of six irrigations at 10 days interval and it was at par with treatment that received ...

The present paper gives a classification of the expressive power of two-variable least fixed-point logics. The main results are: 1. The two-variable fragment of monadic least fixed-point logic with parameters is as expressive as full monadic least fixed-point logic (on binary structures). 2. The two-variable fragment of monadic least fixed-point logic without parameters is as expressive as the ...

The reported effects of temperature on sweet taste in humans have generally been small and inconsistent. Here, we describe 3 experiments that follow up a recent finding that cooling from 37 to 21 °C does not reduce the initial sweetness of sucrose but increases sweet taste adaptation. In experiment 1, subjects rated the sweetness of sucrose, glucose, and fructose solutions at 5-41 °C by dipping...

Let G be a graph. A total dominating set of G is a set S of vertices of G such that every vertex is adjacent to at least one vertex in S. The total domatic number of a graph is the maximum number of total dominating sets which partition the vertex set of G. In this paper we would like to characterize the cubic graphs with total domatic number at least two.
