The purpose of this study was to compare the results of measurements of VO2 as obtained by the Zephyr Bioharness (ZB) and the Cosmed Quark CPET Metabolic cart (CM). Both ZB and CM have been proven reliable by previous research. The ZB is portable and offers many practical advantages over CM, which requires greater expertise and expense, and tests must be completed in a laboratory setting. Aerob...

We introduce a generalization of CM-triviality relative to a fixed invariant collection of partial types, in analogy to the Canonical Base Property defined by Pillay, Ziegler and Chatzidakis which generalizes one-basedness. We show that, under this condition, a stable field is internal to the family, and a group of finite Lascar rank has a normal nilpotent subgroup such that the quotient is alm...

We show that any effective Hodge structure of CMtype occurs (without having to take a Tate twist) in the cohomology of some CM abelian variety over C. As a consequence we get a simple proof of the theorem (due to Hazama) that the usual Hodge conjecture for the class of all CM abelian varieties implies the general Hodge conjecture for the same class.

In this article we generalize the CM method for elliptic and hyperelliptic curves to Picard curves. We describe the algorithm in detail and discuss the results of our implementation.

Competitiveness and survivability of many companies today does not only depend on their products and development processes. It also strongly depends on how effective the organizations are in managing emergency software problems. Despite this, there is only one process model dealing with software emergencies. It is CM 3 : Emergency Problem Management. In this paper, we evaluate CM 3 : Emergency ...

The intelligent analysis and mining system of curative efficacy messages of Chinese Medicine (CM) prescription is based on CM theory, which can realize description of mathematical measuring and qualitative forecast analysis of CM recipes by applying information processing and intelligent reasoning technology. In this system, the mathematic model of relative dosage of any herb is an important fo...

The limitations of paper-and-pencil self-monitoring (PM) are leading to the use of more sophisticated techniques. PM was compared with cellular phone monitoring (CM) to collect ecological momentary assessment data on alcohol use. Twenty social drinkers were randomly assigned to the 2 groups, and their drinking was monitored for 14 days. PM participants recorded data on cards. CM participants ca...
