In this paper, we show that a small minimal k-blocking set in PG(n, q), q = p, h ≥ 1, p prime, p ≥ 7, intersecting every (n−k)-space in 1 (mod q) points, is linear. As a corollary, this result shows that all small minimal k-blocking sets in PG(n, p), p prime, p ≥ 7, are Fp-linear, proving the linearity conjecture (see [7]) in the case PG(n, p), p prime, p ≥ 7.

The Muller-Satterthwaite theorem states that social choice functions that satisfy unanimity and monotonicity are also dictatorial. Unlike Arrow’s theorem, it does not assume that the function produces a transitive social ordering. Wilson showed that a voting process under Arrow’s conditions can be interpreted as a strong and proper simple game—as defined by von Neumann and Morgenstern. We show ...

Using ERA5 reanalysis we find positive trends in poleward transport of moisture and heat during 1979–2018 over the winter Barents Sea sector summer East Siberian sector. The increase blocking occurrence (blocking days) can explain these trends. Blocking significantly increased last 40 winters, inducing increasingly stronger heat. high linear correlation between energy transports temperature sug...

Escherichia coli O157:H7 is found in cattle farms and can live in the intestine of healthy cattle. Mostcases of human illnesses including nonbloody diarrhea, hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndromecan be traced, either directly or indirectly, to cattle. One strategy for reducing the risk of EnterohemorrhagicEscherichia coli (EHEC) infections in human is to reduce the prevalence of inf...

The air preheater of coal-fired units has the problem ash blocking. Combining working principle and blocking mechanism, FLUENT uses porous media model to simulate preheater, corresponding mass flow rate at different speeds or side inlets is obtained. temperature results are compared analyzed, a reasonable used reduce clogging.

The results of studies the influence thicknesses electron-blocking, hole-conducting and recombination layers on luminance-voltage other electrophysical characteristics a multilayer light-emitting diode with an active layer based semiconductor quantum dots are presented. Optimized voltages determined to achieve maximum efficiency electroluminescence diode. Keywords: dots, diode, blocking layer.

Smart contracts are programs that stored on a blockchain ledger with code immutable after deployment. Thus, verifying the correct behavior of smart before deployment is vital. This paper demonstrates how security vulnerability verification in casino contract can be transformed to non-blocking verification. To this end, first modeled as interacting extended finite state machines (EFSM), one EFSM...

Field-Effect Passivation The implementation of Ga2O3 thin film effectively passivates the CZTS/TiO2 heterojunction by blocking holes away from buffer layer and acts as an electron-selective contact. This hole-blocking reduces interface recombination evident significant photoluminescence quenching. More information can be found in article number 2200001 Mukesh Kumar co-workers.

This paper presents an algorithm for adaptive determination of the dead timeduring transient arcing faults and blocking automatic reclosing during permanent faults onoverhead transmission lines. The discrimination between transient and permanent faults ismade by the zero sequence voltage measured at the relay point. If the fault is recognised asan arcing one, then the third harmonic of the zero...
