We consider the degree-diameter problem for undirected and directed circulant graphs. To date, attempts to generate families of large circulant graphs of arbitrary degree for a given diameter have concentrated mainly on the diameter 2 case. We present a direct product construction yielding improved bounds for small diameters and introduce a new general technique for “stitching” together circula...

a new species of cassiduloid echinoids, pygaulus baghinensis is reported for the first time from aptian sediments of baghin area, west of kerman, iran. the diagnostic features of the species are centrally positioned of the apical disc and approximately low profile of the test. variation in gonopore size in different individuals allows to conclude that p. baghinensis is sexually dimorphic. speci...

Abstract Detailed calculations of the specific absorption rate (SAR) a dilute assembly iron oxide nanoparticles with effective uniaxial anisotropy dispersed in liquid are performed depending on particle diameters, alternating (ac) magnetic field amplitude H 0 and viscosity. For small moderate values respect to k SAR as function diameter passes through characteristic maximum then reaches plateau...

study of soil and plant relationships is nessesery for ecological- based and appropriate management. the objective of this study is to determine the influence of edaphic properties on haloxylon persicum growth and also, indentifing growth limiting soil properties for saxaul. the study was performed through the stratified random sampling and 3 sites were selected as follow: planted strong saxaul...

We describe a straightforward technique to synthesize pure Mo nanowires (NWs) from Mo6SyIz (8,2 15 nm) Mo NWs are hi...

We present a theoretical study of nanorod translocation events through solid-state nanopores of different sizes which result in positive or negative ion conductance changes. Using theoretical models, we show that positive conductance changes or up events happen for nanopore diameters smaller than a transition diameter dt, and negative conductance changes or down events occur for nanopore diamet...

During avian egg production, oestrogen mediates marked increases in hepatic lipid production and changes in the diameter of assembled very-low density lipoprotein (VLDL). A nearly complete shift from generic VLDL ( approximately 70 nm in diameter), which transports lipids to peripheral tissues, to yolk-targeted VLDL (VLDLy) ( approximately 30 nm), which supplies the yolk with energy-rich lipid,...

in order to study the effect of canopy gap size on species diversity and composition in mixed stands, a reserved area which located in asalem forests was selected. all of gaps in this area identified and were divided into four categories: small gaps (1000 m2). in each category, 21 of gaps with a relatively homogeneous in terms of an aspect and slope were selected. the major and minor diameter o...

Savannas’ defining feature is a scattered tree layer. However, woody plants have encroached savannas throughout the world, altering tree densities and potentially modifying regeneration dynamics. We used a replicated large-scale restoration experiment with Midwestern oak savannas (USA) to understand spatial patterns of regeneration by the dominant overstory species, Quercus alba. Q. alba is not...
