1.1. Background Studies have shown that most rollover accidents involve heavy articulated vehicles, and occur on highways [1]. Three major contributing factors to rollover accidents have been identified: (1) sudden course deviation, often in combination with heavy braking, from high initial speed; (2) excessive speed on curves; and, (3) load shift. The accidents are relatively frequent, and the...

The ability of NP-coupled syngeneic spleen cells to induce antigen-specific T-suppressor cells capable of binding to NP-BSA-coated Petri dishes and mediating transfer of specific suppressive activity to NP was demonstrated. Furthermore, in strains of mice bearing the Ig-1b allotype, including SJL, and in (non-Ig-1b x Ig-1b)F1 hybrids, the NP-specific suppressor cells also interferes with expres...

We study the (parameterized) complexity of SHIFT BRIBERY for multiwinner voting rules. We focus on the SNTV, Bloc, k-Borda, and Chamberlin-Courant, as well as on approximate variants of the Chamberlin-Courant rule, since the original rule is NP-hard to compute. We show that SHIFT BRIBERY tends to be significantly harder in the multiwinner setting than in the single-winner one by showing setting...

Abstract Research has indicated that the meridional heat transport (MHT) in North Pacific Ocean (NP) across 24°N increased 1980s and 1990s, resulting different distributions: ocean content (OHC) 1980s, while net surface release was strengthened 1990s; however, reasons for these differences remained unclear. The authors revisited investigation of budget NP mainly using hydrographic observations ...

In statistical machine translation, decoding without any reordering constraint is an NP-hard problem. Inversion Transduction Grammars (ITGs) exploit linguistic structure and can well balance the needed flexibility against complexity constraints. Currently, translation models with ITG constraints usually employs the cube-time CYK algorithm. In this paper, we present a shift-reduce decoding algor...

Using calculated phaseshift values, for pp, nn, and np elastic scattering in the energy range 1MeV to 350MeV, the charge independence breaking of nucleon-nucleon interaction is investigated. We have used Darboux transformation to calculate phase-shift for the first three values of l. It is seen that the charge independency holds in most of the energy range but it is broken in the particular ene...

C57BL mice, upon immunization with chicken ),-globulin conjugated with (4hydroxy-3-nitrophenyl) acetyl (NP), a produced anti-NP antibodies having higher affinity for a cross-reactive analogue, (4-hydroxy-5-iodo-3-nitrophenyl) acetyl (NIP), than for NP itself (1). Furthermore, these "heteroclitic" antibodies share a set of common idiotypes, the predominant idiotype in primary B6 anti-NP antibodi...

Background/Aim. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) 2019 infection represents a global problem. At this moment, in October 2020, there is no vaccine or efficient treatment for infected patients. Treatment with blood plasma rich anti-SARS-CoV-2 specific antibodies might be safe, and effective therapy COVID-19 Methods. A total of 768 patients were analyzed study, whose s...

The splitting number of a graph $$G=(V,E)$$ is the minimum vertex splits required to turn G into planar graph, where split removes $$v \in V$$ , introduces two new vertices $$v_1, v_2$$ and distributes edges formerly incident v among . problem known be NP-complete for abstract graphs we provide non-uniform fixed-parameter tractable (FPT) algorithm this problem. We then shift focus given topolog...
