In this paper, we show that for a shifted complex :Jr ~ 2 with respect to a poset P with minimum element 0 and an intersecting subfamily ~ ~ :Jr, #~ ~ #{FE:Jr;OEF}. We denote the set {1,2, .. ,n} by [n], the family of all subsets of a set X by 2x , #F denotes the number of elements of a set F. Let :Jr be a family of subsets of [n], i.e., :Jr = {F1, .. ,Fm } where F1 Fm are distinct subsets of [...

pricing of goods and services are one of the fundamental instrument of competition and prerequisite for a competetive market is the right to determine prices freely by undertakimgs. competition law has declared discriminative pricing as an anticompetetive practices in many jurisdiction while analysis specially in the scope of intellectual property rights shows that many form of price discrimina...

the effects of above and below-ground competition between chenopodium album and sugar beet (beta vulgaris) on growth, yield and quality of two sugar beet cultivars of morphologically contrasting growth habit have been investigated a factorial experiment (2 × 4) under glass-house conditions in a randomised complete block design with three replications was done. c. album and two sugar beet cultiv...

In an increasingly globalised and competitive economy, there is a need to ensure that graduates have the skills, knowledge and attitudes to be not only work ready for today but work ready PLUS for tomorrow. Data from the Graduate Destination Survey (2012) show that 75% of ICT students get a job once they complete their degree. Although employment outcomes are influenced by external market condi...

Matrices of correlation coefficients between the abundances or intensities of all pairs of helminth species, across all individual hosts in a sample, are regularly used to detect possible cases of interspecific competition in parasite communities. In these matrices, however, the range of possible values that any correlation coefficient can take is not -1 to 1, contrary to what is generally assu...

Across many species, males exhibit plastic responses when they encounter mating rivals. The ability to tailor responses to the presence of rivals allows males to increase investment in reproduction only when necessary. This is important given that reproduction imposes costs that limit male reproductive capacity, particularly when sperm competition occurs. Fruitfly (Drosophila melanogaster) male...
