we have studied the effect of hypothetical cosmions on the core stability of main sequence stars (of populations i and ii). cosmions, with a mass of 4-10 gev/c2 and a scattering cross section with nucleons of approximately 10-36 cm2 could prevail in transporting heat in the stellar cores. raby [17] showed the existence of a local thermal instability caused by the presence of cosmions in the sol...

Let G be a connected graph. The core of G, denoted by G∆, is the subgraph of G induced by the vertices of maximum degree. Hilton and Zhao [On the edge-colouring of graphs whose core has maximum degree two, JCMCC 21 (1996), 97-108] conjectured that, if ∆(G∆) ≤ 2, then G is Class 2 if and only if G is overfull, with the sole exception of the Petersen graph with one vertex deleted. In this paper w...

The peptide human urotensin-II (hUT-II) and its receptor have recently been cloned. The vascular function of this peptide in humans, however, has yet to be determined. Vasoconstrictor and vasodilator responses to hUT-II were investigated in human small muscular pulmonary arteries [approximately 70 microm internal diameter (ID)] and human abdominal resistance arteries (approximately 200 microm I...

Biochemical probes positioned on the surface of the general transcription factor TFIIB were used to probe the architecture of the RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription preinitiation complex (PIC). In PICs, the TFIIB linker and core domains are positioned over the central cleft and wall of Pol II. This positioning is not observed in the smaller Pol II-TFIIB complex. These results lead to a ne...

This paper studies learning under multiple priors by characterizing the decision maker’s attitude toward information. She is incredulous if she integrates new information with respect to only those measures that minimizes the likelihood of the new information and credulous if she uses the maximum likelihood procedure to update her priors. Both updating rules expose her to dynamic inconsistency....

To calculation non-bonded interaction of the [CoCl6]3- complex embedded in nano ring, we focus on the single wall boron-nitride B18N18 nano ring. Thus, the geometry of B18N18 nano ring has been optimized by B3LYP method with EPR-II (Electron paramagnetic resonance) basis set and geometry of the [CoCl6]3- complex has been optimized at B3LYP method with Aldrich’s VTZ basis set and Stuttgart RSC 1...

Corelite is a Quality of Service architecture that provides weighted max-min fairness for rate among flows in a network without maintaining any per-flow state in the core routers. There are three key mechanisms that work in concert to achieve the service model of Corelite: (a) the introduction of markers in a packet flow by the edge routers to reflect the normalized rate of the flow, (b) weight...

In this paper, the scientific methodology of the contemporary philosopherImre Lakatos is revised to construct a methodology for theological systems. In this methodology, each theological system consists of the following main elements: (1) hard core I, (2) protective wall, (3) hard core II, and (4) auxiliary hypotheses. We will expound the criteria for the evaluation of different theolo...

The electronic structure of CdSe/CdS core/shell seeded nanorods of experimentally relevant size is studied using a combination of molecular dynamics and semiempirical pseudopotential techniques with the aim to address the transition from type-I to a quasi-type-II band alignment. The hole is found to be localized in the core region regardless of its size. The overlap of the electron density with...
