We study the parameterized complexity of dominating sets in geometric intersection graphs. In one dimension, we investigate intersection graphs induced by translates of a fixed pattern Q that consists of a finite number of intervals and a finite number of isolated points. We prove that Dominating Set on such intersection graphs is polynomially solvable whenever Q contains at least one interval,...

Coefficient of determination (R (2)) and its leave-one-out cross-validated analogue (denoted by Q (2) or R cv (2) ) are the most frequantly published values to characterize the predictive performance of models. In this article we use R (2) and Q (2) in a reversed aspect to determine uncommon points, i.e. influential points in any data sets. The term (1 - Q (2))/(1 - R (2)) corresponds to the ra...

In internal combustion engines, a significant share of the fuel energy is wasted via heat losses. This study aims to understand losses and analyze potential waste recovery when biofuels are used in SI engines. A numerical model developed for single-cylinder, four-stroke air-cooled engine carry out analysis. To verify solution, experiments first conducted gasoline engine. Biofuels including pure...

The recent high statistics NMC data on the Tin to Carbon structure function ratio seems to indicate, for the first time, a significant Q dependence, especially at small values of Bjorken x, x < 0.05, and Q > 1 GeV. Pure leading twist, perturbative QCD–based predictions, which are consistent with the free nucleon data, yield a fairly flat ratio with little or no Q dependence. In view of this see...

In this paper, we propose the rectangle transformation problem (RTP) and its variants. RTP asks for a transformation by a rectangle partition between two rectangles of the same area. We are interested in the minimum RTP which requires to minimize the partition size. We mainly focus on the strict rectangle transformation problem (SRTP) in which rotation is not allowed in transforming. We show th...

The dijet cross section as a function of both the fraction of the photon momentum participating in the hard process, x OBS γ , and the photon's virtuality, Q 2 , is compared with the predictions of Herwig 5.9 for various photon parton distribution functions. The ratio of dijet cross sections with x OBS γ < 0.75 and x OBS γ > 0.75 is measured as a function of Q 2. This ratio is found to decrease...

We provide a theoretical analysis for the intermediate scattering function typically measured in depolarized dynamic light scattering experiments. We calculate the field autocorrelation function g1(VH)(Q,t) in dependence on the wave vector Q and the time t explicitly in a vertical-horizontal scattering geometry for differently shaped solids of revolution. The shape of prolate cylinders, spheroc...

The present investigation describes the influence of the concentration of PEG 6000 as a melt binder and ratio of HPMC K4M : PVP on Zolpidem tartrate controlled-release tablet formulations using 3(2) full factorial design. The ratio of HPMC K4M and PVP K30 (X(1)) and the concentration of melt binder (X(2)) were selected as independent variables, and drug release at 1 hr (Q(1)), 4 hr (Q(4)), 8 hr...

Let K be a number field, and let A/K be an abelian variety. Let c denote the product of the Tamagawa numbers of A/K, and let A(K)tors denote the finite torsion subgroup of A(K). The quotient c/|A(K)tors| is a factor appearing in the leading term of the L-function of A/K in the conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer. We investigate in this article possible cancellations in this ratio. Precise r...

The relation of the phonocardiographic time intervals (Q-I) and (IIA-OS) and the use of two formulas (Q-I, IIA-OS difference versus their ratio) for estimation of left atrial pressure were investigated in 70 cases of pure mitral stenosis. It was noted that, in cases with normal blood pressure and pluse rate, there was a fair correlation of the two intervals to left atrial pressure. In our studi...
