Irreducible K-To-1 Maps Onto Grids, Susan M. Parker

Honors Theses

In this paper we explore the existence of exactly k-to-1 continuous functions between graphs, and more specifically 2-to-1 continuous function between graphs that are irreducibly 2-to-1, meaning that no restriction of the function to a subgraph is 2-to-l. We show how to construct such functions in some general cases, and then more specifically onto rectangular grids. We have in mind an application to distributed networks and signal verification.

Applying Theory To Practice : Virginia's Secondary School Leadership Courses, Kerith D. Dubik

Creating Complex Monsters: Joint Operating Agreements And The Logical Invalidity Of Treasury Regulation 1.502-1(B), Darryll K. Jones

Journal Publications

This article questions the validity of Regulations section 1.502-1(b) and its resulting insistence upon virtual mergers. It argues that the regulation is invalid as having no basis in section 502, the statute under which it was codified. This article argues, instead, that the regulation is a logically incorrect amalgamation of two distinct judicial tax doctrines by which tax exemption may be or could have been gained vicariously: (1) the integral part doctrine which allows one organization to achieve tax exemption on the basis of another organization's charitable activities, and (2) the now-discarded destination of income doctrine under which tax exemption …

Damage Detection Of Bridge-Like Structures Using State Space Models, Javier Valentin Sivico

Masters Theses

"A global damage detection algorithm for bridge-like structures is proposed. This method provides the capability of determining the reduction in both stiffness and damping parameters of the structural elements. It is assumed the mass of the structural elements is not affected by the damages, which is a reasonable assumption for bridge-like structures. The proposed method uses the state space representation of the structural dynamics to make the diagnosis of the structural integrity. Given that the state space representation of any system is not unique, the damage detection procedure is developed for the physical coordinates of the state space representation. A …

Suprachiasmatic Nucleus Neurons Are Glucose Sensitive, Adam C. Hall, Roselle M. Hoffmaster, Edra L. Stern, Mary E. Harrington, David Bickar

Chemistry: Faculty Publications

The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) in the hypothalamus serves as the pacemaker for mammalian circadian rhythms. In a hamster brain slice preparation, the authors were able to record spontaneous activity from SCN cells for up to 4 days in vitro and verify a self-sustained rhythm in firing. The phase of this rhythm was altered by the concentration of glucose in the bathing medium, with time of peak firing advanced for a 20 mM glucose condition and slightly delayed for a 5 mM glucose condition, relative to 10 mM. The advancing effect of 20 mM glucose and the delaying effect of 5 …

Apportioning Basis: Partial Sales, Bargain Sales And The Realization Principle, Stephen B. Cohen

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

The Internal Revenue Code generally taxes appreciation in the value of property only on realization, defined to mean when property is sold or exchanged. In measuring gain on a sale or exchange, an allowance must be made for the return of capital, referred to as basis. Basis offsets the amount realized-that is, the price received for property-in order to calculate taxable gain.

Issues And Conflicts In The Management Of The Public Domain Of The Saddle Mountains In Eastern Washington: A Case Study, James Jack Sharpe

All Master's Theses

This thesis examines the prehistoric, historic, and contemporary patterns of land use and their effects in the Saddle Mountains of eastern Washington. Federal laws and Indian treaties require that federal lands be managed to preserve natural and cultural resources while meeting the demands of private interests for economic development and of the general public for recreational access. Land management conflicts created by these diverse interests are reviewed in the context of the history of the study area, the legal framework that directs its management, and the management process as it actually works. It concludes with recommendations to resolve land use …

Kirby Calculus In Manifolds With Boundary, Justin Roberts

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Suppose there are two framed links in a compact, connected 3-manifold (possibly with boundary, or non-orientable) such that the associated 3-manifolds obtained by surgery are homeomorphic (relative to their common boundary, if there is one.) How are the links related? Kirby's theorem gives the answer when the manifold is S^3, and Fenn and Rourke extended it to the case of any closed orientable 3-manifold, or S^1 \tilde{\times} S^2. The purpose of this note is to give the answer in the general case, using only minor modifications of Kirby's original proof.

The Hardy -Littlewood-Sobolev Inequality For Non-Isotropic Riesz Potentials, İnan Çinar

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this study the inequality of Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev type are established for non-isotropic generalized Riesz potential depending on \lambda -distance. In this paper we establish analogues of the well known Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality (see[3]) for Riesz potentials with non-isotropic kernel depended on \lambda distance. Note that different problems for convolution type integrals with kernels, depending on \lambda-distance were considered in [1] and [2].

Pin-Structures On Surfaces And Quadratic Forms, A. Degtyarev, S. Finashin

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

A correspondence between various Pin-type structures on a compact surface and quadratic (Iinear) forms on its homology is constructed. Sum of structures is defined and expressed in terms of these quadratic forms and in terms of Whitney sum of Spin structures.

Locally Finite Barely Transitive Permutation Group With Almost Nilpotent Point Stabilizers, Mahmut Kuzucuoğlu

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We show that the groups mentioned in the title are solvable. Moreover, a point stabilizer H of the locally finite barely transitive group G is almost nilpotent, whenever the indices H : H \cap H^g (g \in G) have a finite upper bound.

Economic Considerations Of Land-Use And Landcare In The Peel-Harvey Catchment, Roger Attwater

Natural resources published reports

The first section of this paper reviews some spreadsheets of land-use profitability by soil type which were developed in a previous study, "The economic land capability assessment, Waroona to Capel". The second section discusses how externalities can be accounted for by developing a range of complementary approaches which reinforce property rights.

The spreadsheets reviewed were developed as an aid to aggregate land-use planning, and were proposed as a basis for determining transfer payments to reflect the social costs of phosphorus pollution. The spreadsheets were found to lack the flexibility needed to compare alternative management options, and considered inappropriate for dealing …

Tokdo Or Takeshima? The Territorial Dispute Between Japan And The Republic Of Korea, Benjamin K. Sibbett

Fordham International Law Journal

This Note analyzes Japan's and the Republic of Korea’s competing claims to Liancourt in light of traditional public international law, specifically the 1982 Convention and customary law found in past decisions by the International Court of Justice (“ICJ”) and arbitral bodies (collectively “international adjudicatory bodies”). Part I of this Note provides not only a brief historical overview on Japanese-Korean relations, but also a detailed review of relevant public international law. It outlines important provisions of the 1982 Convention, discusses widely-recognized means of territorial acquisition, and summarizes relevant decisions of international adjudicatory bodies. Part II examines each country's claim to Liancourt. …
