we denote by $ls[n](t,k,v)$ a large set of $t$-$(v,k,lambda)$ designs of size $n$, which is a partition of all  $k$-subsets ofa $v$-set into $n$ disjoint  $t$-$(v,k,lambda)$ designs and$n={v-t choose k-t}/lambda$.   we use the notation$n(t,v,k,lambda)$ as the maximum possible number of mutuallydisjoint cyclic $t$-$(v,k,lambda)$designs. in this paper we givesome new bounds for $n(2,29,4,3)$ and ...

The distribution of extracellular enzyme activities in particle-size fractions of sediments was investigated in a subtropical mangrove ecosystem. Five enzymes involved in carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) cycling were analyzed in the sand, silt, and clay of sediments. Among these fractions, the highest activities of phenol oxidase (PHO), β-D glucosidase (GLU), and N-acetyl-glucosimin...

magnesium oxide nanoclusters have attracted much attention due to their potential applications to catalysis and novel optoelectronic materials. in the present study, we have studied the electronic and magnetic properties of the stoichiometric magnesium oxide nanoclusters (mgo)n  for n = 2-20. although the binding energy increases with the size of the cluster, it  reaches the asymptotic limit of...

Perturbation theory and renormalization group methods are used to derive a finite-size scaling theory for the partition function zeroes and thermodynamic functions in the O(n) φ 4 model in four dimensions. The leading power–law scaling behaviour is the same as that of the mean field theory. There exist, however, multiplicative logarithmic corrections which are linked to the triviality of the th...

Generalization from single-case designs can be achieved by replicating individual studies across different experimental units and settings. When replications are available, their findings can be summarized using effect size measurements and integrated through meta-analyses. Several procedures are available for quantifying the magnitude of treatment effect in N = 1 designs, and some of them are ...
