Let X be the affine flag manifold of Lie type A1. Its moment graph encodes the torus fixed points (which are elements of the infinite dihedral group D∞) and the torus stable curves in X. Given a fixed point u ∈ D∞ and a degree d = (d0, d1) ∈ Z≥0, the combinatorial curve neighborhood is the set of maximal elements in the moment graph of X which can be reached from u using a chain of curves of to...

Herein I investigated the impact of vitamin D on glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. 128 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were enrolled in this study (mean (S.D) age: 57.7±10 years, 26.6% were female). It was collected clinical and laboratory characteristics of patients from hospital records retrospectively. Patients were divided into two groups according to the HB...

We study adjacency of equisingularity types of planar curve singularities in terms of their Enriques diagrams. The goal is, given two equisingularity types, to determine whether one of them is adjacent to the other. For linear adjacency a complete answer is obtained, whereas for arbitrary (analytic) adjacency a necessary condition and a sufficient condition are proved. We also show an example o...

This study was carried out to investigate the relationship between early lactation curve parameters andcalving interval in Holstein cows of Iran. In order to describe the lactation curve, the incomplete gammafunction was fitted to 5,754,428 test-day milk records corresponding to 766,108 lactations on 315,634 cowsin 2,448 herds. Cows with higher milk yield during early lactation had shorter calv...

In this paper we consider D = 4 NCSYM theories with 8 supercharges. We study these theories through a proper type IIA (and M-theory) brane configuration. We find the one loop beta function of these theories and show that there is an elliptic curve describing the moduli space of the theory, which is in principle the same as the curve for the commutative counterpart of our theory. We study some o...

Let X be a minuscule homogeneous space, an odddimensional quadric, or an adjoint homogenous space of type different from A and G2. Le C be an elliptic curve. In this paper, we prove that for d large enough, the scheme of degree d morphisms from C to X is irreducible, giving an explicit lower bound for d which is optimal in many cases. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: 14M15, 14N35

Components that have defects after release, but not during testing, are very undesirable as they point to ‘holes’ in the testing process. Either new components were not tested enough, or old ones were broken during enhancements and defects slipped through testing undetected. The latter is particularly pernicious, since customers are less forgiving when existing functionality is no longer workin...
