The Metamorphosis of 2-fold Triple Systems into Maximum Packings of 2Kn with 4-cycles
(2011-04-27)
The graph is called a hinge. A hinge system of order n is a pair (X, H) where H is a collection of edge disjoint hinges which partition the edge set of 2Kn with vertex set X. Let (X, H) be a hinge system and D the collection ...
The Metamorphosis of Maximum Packings of 2Kn with Triples into Maximum Packings of 2Kn with 4-cycles
(2012-05-07)
In this work, the problem of constructing a maximum packing of 2Kn with triples having a metamorphosis into a maximum packing of 2Kn with 4-cycles is concluded by solving the problem for every n ≥ 11 such that n ≡ 2, 5, ...
Methane Exchanges between Terrestrial Ecosystems and the Atmosphere in Response to Multiple Environmental Changes - A Process-Based Modeling Study
(2016-07-29)
Methane (CH4), the most abundant non-carbon dioxide (CO2) greenhouse gas, has a relatively shorter lifetime (approx. 9 years) and higher global warming potential (approx. 28 times) than CO2 at a 100-year time horizon. The ...
Methiozolin Effects on Annual Bluegrass Control at Various Seasonal Timings and Creeping Bentgrass Injury in Shade
(2019-01-03)
Methiozolin is a new herbicide with efficacy against annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.; ABG) and is being investigated as a selective herbicide in creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.; CBG) golf course greens, tees and ...
Method for Isolating Immature Chicken Oocytes
(2009-12-18)
Knowledge of the development of the avian oocyte has been difficult to obtain due to the physical package of the oocyte at ovulation. The ability to isolate and culture avian oocytes, prior to the accumulation of large ...
A Method For Obtaining New Conservation Quantities and a Solution Method For the N-Body Collision
(2019-08-15)
Exact, numerical, and perturbative methods are commonly used to solve dynamical systems of equations. Many systems’ solutions cannot be written in terms of elementary functions thus numerical and perturbative solutions ...
A Method to Discriminate Between Flicker Sources
(2015-07-29)
This work is a discussion on discriminating between multiple flicker producing sources that are connected electrically close together in the power system. IEC 61000-4-15 provides a thorough description on how to build a ...
Methodism, the Middle Class, and the New South, 1866-1894
(2018-07-24)
This dissertation explores the relationship between the Methodist Episcopal Church, South (MECS) and the middle class within the context of the New South. Both the MECS and the southern middle class emerged from the Civil ...
