We study the Maker-Breaker H-game played on the edge set of the random graph G(n, p). In this game, two players, Maker and Breaker, alternately claim unclaimed edges of G(n, p), until all the edges are claimed. Maker wins if he claims all the edges of a graph H; Breaker wins otherwise. Recently, Müller and Stojaković determined the threshold for the graph property that Maker can win this game i...

A slip-line field model for orthogonal cutting with step-type chip breaker assuming adhesion friction at chip/tool interface is developed using Kudo’s basic slip-line field. An alternative method is suggested for estimation of breaking strain in the chip. The model proposed predicts that with decrease in distance of chip breaker from the cutting edge of the tool, the breaking strain and shear s...

We consider a Maker-Breaker type game on the square grid, in which each player takes t points on their tth turn. Maker wins if he obtains n points on a line (in any direction) without any of Breaker’s points between them. We show that, despite Maker’s apparent advantage, Breaker can prevent Maker from winning until about his nth turn. We actually prove a stronger result: Breaker only needs to c...

Symmetry breaking has been proven to be an efficient preprocessing technique for satisfiability solving (SAT). In this paper, we port the state-of-the-art SAT symmetry breaker BreakID to answer set programming (ASP). The result is a lightweight tool that can be plugged in between the grounding and the solving phases that are common when modelling in ASP. We compare our tool with sbass, the curr...

Application of foam in EOR, increases macroscopic sweep efficiency via awesome increscent of mobility control. Macroscopic manifestation of foam application performance in porous media is complex process that involves several interacting microscopic foam events. Stability as an important factor in foam injection within large reservoirs, depends on several variables including oil saturation, con...

A positional game can be thought of as a generalization of Tic-Tac-Toe played on a hypergraph (V,H). We study the Maker-Breaker game in which Maker wins if she occupies all of the vertices in an edge of H; otherwise Breaker wins. The Erdős–Selfridge Theorem, a significant result in positional game theory, gives criteria for the existence of an explicit winning strategy for Breaker for the game ...

A membrane-associated lipoxygenase from breaker-stage fruit of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) was purified and partially sequenced. Using degenerate oligonucleotides corresponding to portions of this sequence, a cDNA was amplified by PCR and used to screen a breaker fruit cDNA library. Two clones, tomloxA and tomloxB, were isolated and one of these (tomloxA) corresponded to the isolated...

Ultra Wide Band Radio (UWB) is also known as the impulse radio (IR). It will become one of the most competitive technologies, especially in the high speed data transmission, high precision positioning, tracking and other fields; it has broad application prospects in the future. The main function of the highvoltage circuit breaker in the power grid is breaking, closing and carrying run normal cu...

aluminum foams are a novel branch of advanced materials with superior properties. sandwich structures with aluminum foam core are good energy absorbers. in this paper, mechanical properties and energy absorption of aluminum foam sandwich panels subjected to quasi-static perforation tests with conical-nosed indenter were investigated experimentally. for this purpose sandwich panels consisting of...
