We present a simplified form of the HK (= HanKobayashi) achievable rate region for the general interference channel by using Fourier-Motzkin algorithm, as well as a simplified form of the HK region without the don’t care inequalities. Also, in the same spirit, we give an improved form of the CMG (= Chong-Motani-Garg) region. I. THE ORIGINAL HK ACHIEVABLE REGION Let ω(y1y2|x1x2) be an interferen...

INTRODUCTION Developing effective exercise programmes for the paediatric population is a strategy for decreasing obesity and is expected to help in eventually limiting obesity-associated long-term health and societal impact. In this study, the effects of a 12-week twice weekly additional exercise training, which comprised a combination of circuit-based resistance training and aerobic exercises,...
