The connection between the consecutive retrieval property and interval graphs is explored. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the consecutive retrieval property are developed from the standpoint of graph theory. These conditions are based on a characterization of unit interval graphs developed in this paper.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effects of massage treatment plus 24hours of elastic calf compression on delayed onset of muscle soreness following maximum calf-raise exercises during three consecutive days. METHODS: Fourteen female students (aged 20–22 yr) who had regularly performed moderate exercise were submitted to maximum calf-raise exercises of 1 movement per 3 seconds till exhaustion. Seven...

Given a positive integer n, we let sfp(n) denote the squarefree part of n. We determine all positive integers n for which max{sfp(n), sfp(n+ 1), sfp(n+ 2)} ≤ 150 by relating the problem to finding integral points on elliptic curves. We also prove that there are infinitely many n for which max{sfp(n), sfp(n + 1), sfp(n + 2)} < n.

Received for publication 11 May 1979 and in revisedform 2 October 1979. 592 50% penetrant autosomal recessive model between the two types of families is compatible with a genetic dissimilarity between them. The high frequency ofthe Dw3 and Dw4 antigens, the Dw3/Dw4 genotype, and the decreased frequency of Dw2, however, indicate the existence of two or more important diabetic genetic factors ass...

We show that if A = {a1, a2, . . . , ak} is a monotone increasing set of numbers, and the differences of the consecutive elements are all distinct, then |A+B| ≥ c|A|1/2|B| for any finite set of numbers B. The bound is tight up to the constant multiplier.

Let e > 1 and b > 2 be integers. For a positive integer n = ∑k j=0 aj × b j with 0 6 aj < b, define

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to determine whether compression garments improve intermittent-sprint performance and aid performance or self-reported recovery from high-intensity efforts on consecutive days. METHODS Following familiarization, 14 male rugby players performed two randomized testing conditions (with or without garments) involving consecutive days of a simulated team sport exe...

Flow in the first two-stage of V 94.2 gas turbine is simulated numerically. In this turbine, the second stator is clocked relative to the first stator to different positions. Steady-state analysis was carried out by varying the circumferential relative position of the consecutive stator vanes to study the effects of the clocking on turbine performance. A density based compressible inviscid ...
