Let ∆ be a simplicial complex and χ be an s-coloring of ∆. Biermann and Van Tuyl have introduced the simplicial complex ∆χ. As a corollary of Theorems 5 and 7 in their 2013 article, we obtain that the Stanley–Reisner ring of ∆χ over a field is Cohen–Macaulay. In this note, we generalize this corollary by proving that the Stanley–Reisner ideal of ∆χ over a field is set-theoretic complete interse...

2. Working Equations of the Vibrating-Wire Instrument Our implementation [1] of the steady-state vibrating-wire technique is similar to that described by Audonnet and Pádua [2] in which the wire is driven at frequency f by a constant sinusoidal current I, and the emf V(f) generated across the vibrating wire is measured with a two-phase lock-in amplifier. This measured emf generally comprises tw...

OBJECTIVES The World Health Organization recommends that all children admitted with severe malnutrition should routinely receive parenteral ampicillin and gentamicin; despite this, mortality remains high. Since this population group is at risk of altered volume of distribution, we aimed to study the population pharmacokinetics of once daily gentamicin (7.5 mg/kg) in children with severe malnutr...

Let G and H be graphs. The strong product GH of graphs G and H is the graph with vertex set V(G)V(H) and u=(u1, v1) is adjacent with v= (u2, v2) whenever (v1 = v2 and u1 is adjacent with u2) or (u1 = u2 and v1 is adjacent with v2) or (u1 is adjacent with u2 and v1 is adjacent with v2). In this paper, we first collect the earlier results about strong product and then we present applications of ...

[1] Voyagers 1 and 2 observed highly-variable beams of energetic ions in the foreshock region upstream of the termination shock (TS). At Voyager 2 (V2), the ion intensities are generally not related to the plasma properties. At Voyager 1 (V1), the beams are often coincident with crossings of the heliospheric current sheet (HCS). The V1 intensity peaks occur when the HCS is crossed from negative...

The simultaneous partition problems are classical problems of the combinatorial geometry which have the natural flavor of the equivariant topology. The k-fan partition problems have attracted a lot of attention [1], [2], [17], [11] and forced some hard concrete combinatorial calculations in the equivariant cohomology [3]. These problems can be reduced, by a beautiful scheme of [1], to a ”typica...

The effects of arginine vasopressin (AVP) on the cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]f) were examined in freshly immunodissected rabbit cortical collecting tubule cells using fluorescent Ca2+ indicators fura-2 and indo-1. The addition of AVP to a cell suspension resulted in a rapid and transient increase in the [Ca2+]f. The 1-deamino-8-D-AVP (dDVP), a V2 receptor agonist of AVP that sti...

In this thesis, the population pharmacokinetics of telapristone and its active metabolite, CDB-4453 was evaluated using nonlinear mixed effects modeling (NONMEM). A two-compartment (parent) one compartment (metabolite) mixture model with first order absorption and elimination adequately described the pharmacokinetics of telapristone and CDB-4453. For the Phase I/II pharmacokinetic analysis (eff...

with initial conditions F±(0, x, v) = F0,±(x, v). Here F±(t, x, v) ≥ 0 are the number density functions for ions (+) and electrons (-) respectively at time t ≥ 0, position x = (x1, x2, x3) ∈ R and velocity v = (v1, v2, v3) ∈ R. The constants e± and m± are the magnitude of their charges and masses, and c is the speed of light. The self-consistent electromagnetic field [E(t, x), B(t, x)] in (1) i...
