How to color shift hypergraphs
Let g(k) denote the minimum integer m so that for every set S of m integers there is a k-coloring of the set of all integers so that every translate of S meets every color class. It is a well known consequence of the Local Lemma that g(k) is finite for all k. Here we present a new proof for this fact, that yields a very efficient parallel algorithm for finding, for a given set S, a coloring as ...
متن کاملDiurnal differences in response to oral levodopa.
Diurnal differences in duration and quality of motor response to levodopa are frequently described by patients. The quality and duration of motor responses were objectively assessed to morning and afternoon oral levodopa doses in five patients with Parkinsonian motor fluctuations who complained of diurnal variation in response to their normal levodopa medication. Results suggest that under cont...
متن کاملDecreased precision contributes to the hypoxic thermoregulatory response in lizards.
The decrease in body temperature (T(b)) observed in most vertebrate classes in response to hypoxia has been attributed to a regulated decrease in set-point, protecting organs against tissue death due to oxygen depletion. Hypoxia, however, imparts particular challenges to metabolic function which may, in turn, affect thermoregulation. In ectotherms, where thermoregulation is mainly behavioural, ...
متن کاملAdding texture to color: quantitative analysis of color emotions
What happens to color emotion responses when texture is added to color samples? To quantify this we performed an experiment in which subjects ordered samples (displayed on a computer monitor) along four scales: Warm-Cool, MasculineFeminine, Hard-Soft and Heavy-Light. Three sample types were used: uniform color, grayscale textures and color textures. Ten subjects arranged 315 samples (105 per sa...
متن کاملColor Change for Thermoregulation versus Camouflage in Free-Ranging Lizards.
Animal coloration has multiple functions including thermoregulation, camouflage, and social signaling, and the requirements of each function may sometimes conflict. Many terrestrial ectotherms accommodate the multiple functions of color through color change. However, the relative importance of these functions and how color-changing species accommodate them when they do conflict are poorly under...
