Elementary plane rotations are one of the building blocks of numerical linear algebra and are employed in reducing matrices to condensed form for eigenvalue computations and during the QR algorithm. Unfortunately, their implementation in standard packages such as EISPACK, the BLAS and LAPACK lack the continuity of their mathematical formulation, which makes results from software that use them s...

avian infectious bronchitis is an acute and highly contagious disease that mainly causes respiratory symptoms in poultry. a number of serotypes and variants of the viral agent with poor cross-protection are the major problem to achieve desired immunity from vaccination. the s1 subunit of s glycoprotein (spike) is the major determinant of ibv so that a minor change in amino acid sequence of this...

For rectangular rooms with symmetric loudspeaker arrangements, full room equalization can be achieved at low frequencies, as demonstrated by previous research. The method is based on generating a plane wave that propagates along the room. However, often the room is not rectangular, and/or a symmetric loudspeaker setup cannot be assured, leading to a deteriorated equalization performance. In add...

This paper confirms a conjecture of Amdeberhan and Moll that the power of 2 dividing the number of plane partitions in an n-cube is greater than the power of 2 dividing the number of totally symmetric plane partitions in the same cube when n is even, and less when n is odd.

Stein, W.E. and Beck, C.B., 1992. New information on Bostonia pepTh'xa a n unusual member of the Calamopityaceae from North America. Rev. Palaeobot. Palynol., 72:73 102. A calamopityacean axis exhibiting multiple segments of primary xylem surrounded by secondary vascular tissue is analyzed here for its morphological and systematic significance. The plant is fundamentally protostelic with a deep...

this paper deals with aerodynamic design of fan and compressor assembly for turbofan engines having arbitrary by-pass ratios. two different softwares were developed in this respect. first, based on general performance data at design point condition, a one-dimensional approach was activated. initial flow passages of both fan and compressor, together with splitter position were developed utilizin...

The existence of a connected 12-regular {K4,K2,2,2}-ultrahomogeneous graph G is established, (i.e. each isomorphism between two copies of K4 or K2,2,2 in G extends to an automorphism of G), with the 42 ordered lines of the Fano plane taken as vertices. This graph G can be expressed in a unique way both as the edge-disjoint union of 42 induced copies of K4 and as the edge-disjoint union of 21 in...

The existence of a connected 12-regular {K4,K2,2,2}-ultrahomogeneous graph G is established, (i.e. each isomorphism between two copies of K4 or K2,2,2 in G extends to an automorphism of G), with the 42 ordered lines of the Fano plane as vertices and an adjacency resembling that of star Cayley graphs. The graph G can be expressed in a unique way both as the edge-disjoint union of 42 induced copi...

Abstract For wood screw connections, the withdrawal capacity is essential and therefore an optimization target for screws. The based on composite action between thread wood. Optimizing geometry requires knowledge of how parameters influence capacity. Up to now, this largely unknown. Therefore, objective determine height (1 mm; 1.48 mm), flank distance (3.04 6.08 lead angle (6.8°; 13.6°), (30°; ...
