A composition of n ∈ N is an ordered collection of one or more positive integers whose sum is n. The number of summands is called the number of parts of the composition. A palindromic composition of n is a composition of n in which the summands are the same in the given or in reverse order. In this paper we study the generating function for the number of compositions (respectively, palindromic ...

conclusions ramadan fasting resulted in weight loss even it was only a temporary effect, as the weight was quickly regained within one month after fasting. the catabolism catabolic state, which is related to protein loss, was not triggered during ramadan fasting. further research is needed to evaluate the effects of weight loss during ramadan fasting in healthy individuals. results by the 28th ...

Introduction: Apatite is one of the minerals that is rarely utilized in U-Pb geochronology, compared to some other U-rich accessory phases. Relatively low U concentration, commonly high proportion of common Pb and low closure temperature of U-Pb system of apatite inhibit its application as geochronological tool when other minerals such as zircon are widely available. However, zircon appear to b...

The Sonju Lake intrusion (SLI) is a 1200-m-thick, shallow-dipping, sheet-like intrusion that forms part of the Beaver Bay Complex (RI-58, Chapter 7). Although its exposed strike-length is only about 3 km (Fig. 3-1), the SLI has a distinctive aeromagnetic signature that can be traced for at least 20 km beneath a cover of glacial drift. The nearly constant width of its aeromagnetic anomaly sugges...
