Combinatorics on multisets is used to deduce new upper and lower bounds on the number of numerical semigroups of each given genus, significantly improving existing ones. In particular, it is proved that the number ng of numerical semigroups of genus g satisfies 2Fg 6 ng 6 1 + 3 · 2 , where Fg denotes the gth Fibonacci number.

In Heteropneustes fossilis, administration of a single dose (0.15 micrograms/g body weight, i.p.) of [D-Ala6,Gly10]-gonadotrophin-releasing hormone analogue (GnRHa) induced ovulation (in 35 of 35 fish) when mild-stripped at 16 h. Plasma gonadotrophin II (GTH II) levels showed a highly significant increase at 2, 4, 8, 12 and 16 h with the peak at 8 h. Plasma cortisol, progesterone and testostero...

This paper describes the GTH-CSTR systems developed for the Albayzin 2010 Speech Synthesis Evaluation. We have developed three different HMM-based systems to build synthetic voices in Spanish, using two hours of speech of a male speaker. We have improved our baseline system (GTHCSTR-2008) by using morphosyntactic features, iterative segmentation algorithms, enhanced feature analysis and speaker...

The Grassmann, Taksar, and Heyman (GTH) algorithm for the computation of the stationary distribution of a finite stochastic matrix is shown to apply for the general case when there is a unique stationary distribution. The approach is elementary and matrix based, with probabilistic arguments avoided, to give insight into the essential structural properties. A byproduct is a necessary and suffici...

Gth August.?A Bungarus Fasciatus, nearly full-grown, was bittea by the same Cobra at 12-22 p.m., at about eight inches from the head. The snake was bitten twice; the Cobra took firm hold, and implanted the fangs deeply. At 2-30, when I left, there was no change; the Bungarus eeemed unaffected. The Bungarus died at 7-30 p.m. of the 7th, about 29 hours after being bitten. At 1 p.m. of the 7th, he...

disease in India. Therefore an account of its outbreak in the Jliang Jail, with details of some of the symptoms observed, will, I hope, be not unacceptable to the profession. On the Gth of May 6 cases of Febricula, in whom the temperature varied from 99? or 100? to 102? or 104?, were seen in the jail, and some of them cpmplained of slight sore-throat. On the 10th two and on the 11th six more ca...
