Let $G$ be a connected graph of order $n$ and minimum degree $delta(G)$.The edge-connectivity $lambda(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum numberof edges whose removal renders $G$ disconnected. It is well-known that$lambda(G) leq delta(G)$,and if $lambda(G)=delta(G)$, then$G$ is said to be maximally edge-connected. A classical resultby Chartrand gives the sufficient condition $delta(G) geq frac{n-1}{2}$fo...

The pontine parabrachial nucleus (PBN) receives both opioid and Neuropeptide FF (NPFF) projections from the lower brain stem and/or the spinal cord. Because of this anatomical convergence and previous evidence that NPFF displays both pro- and anti-opioid activities, this study examined the synaptic effects of NPFF in the PBN and the mechanisms underlying these effects using an in vitro brain sl...

Recent evidence indicates that the well established delta-opioid antagonist TIPP (H-Tyr-Tic-Phe-Phe-OH) also displays agonist activity in several cellular models. Therefore, it is possible that TIPP, and structurally related compounds, might represent a novel class of opioid agonists exhibiting unique characteristics. The purpose of this study was to examine the properties of TIPP at selected p...

Abstract This article is a natural continuation of the paper Tiwari, D., Giordano, P., Hyperseries in non-Archimedean ring Colombeau generalized numbers this journal. We study one variable hyper-power series by analyzing notion radius convergence and proving classical results such as algebraic operations, composition reciprocal series. then define real analytic functions, considering their deri...

Abstract. An impulse sampler multiplies an input signal u by a periodic delta impulse train of period z. If z is small, then the output signal of the sampler (or filtered versions thereof) can be used as an approximation of u. If u belongs to the Sobolev space H s with s > 89 then the output is in H -s. Our main result is that as the sampling period z becomes small, the impulse sampler approxim...

The remarkably high frequency of strong surface winds in the region of Big Delta, Alaska, is studied with respect to its cause, characteristics, and local effects. During the winter, the winds are predominantly east-southeast and, unlike glacier or valley winds, are caused by a topographically induced convergence of the flow of air down the Tanana Valley which occurs at times of southeast gradi...

The convergence of the linear δ expansion for the connected generating functional of the quantum anharmonic oscillator is proved. Using an order-dependent scaling for the variational parameter λ, we show that the expansion converges to the exact result with an error proportional to exp(−cN1/3). PACS Numbers : 11.15.Tk, 11.10Jj

In this paper we present Konduit, a desktop-based platform for visual scripting with RDF data. Based on the idea of the semantic desktop, non-technical users can create, manipulate and mash-up RDF data with Konduit, and thus generate simple applications or workflows, which are aimed to simplify their everyday work by automating repetitive tasks. The platform allows to combine data from both web...

In this paper we prove that any distance-balanced graph $G$ with $Delta(G)geq |V(G)|-3$ is regular. Also we define notion of distance-balanced closure of a graph and we find distance-balanced closures of trees $T$ with $Delta(T)geq |V(T)|-3$.
