We discuss the problem of partitioning a set of points into two subsets with certain conditions on the diameters of the subsets and on their cardinalities. For example, we give an O(n log n) algorithm to find the smallest t such that the set can be split into two equal cardinality subsets each of which has diameter at most t. We also give an algorithm that takes two pairs of points (x, y) and (...

in order to determine the best form factor formula for loblolly pine (pinus taeda l.) plantations in talesh (western guilan province-iran), a number of 110 trees were selected based on their distribution in diameter classes, from 12 to 34 cm (in a two- cm diameter interval). first, several quantitative factors including diameter at breast height, diameter at 0.65 m of height, and diameter at st...

The transfinite diameter is a way of quantifying the size of compact sets in Euclidean space. This quantity is related to the Hausdorff dimension and the Lebesgue measure, but gives a slightly different perspective on the set than either of those do. In this paper, we introduce the transfinite diameter, and outline some attempts to calculate this quantity for three sets in R. For z1, z2, . . . ...

PURPOSE To evaluate the relationship between the horizontal ciliary sulcus diameter and anterior chamber diameter measured by 35 MHz ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) and the horizontal corneal diameter (white to white [WTW]) measured by scanning-slit topography and to assess the repeatability (intraexaminer difference) of the 2 methods. SETTING Department of Orthoptics and Visual Science, Kitas...

Background: One of the key objectives is to update knowledge in order to develop treatment and care recommendations based on research findings. The purpose of the present meta-analysis was to compare the survival rate of narrow dental implants (NDI) with standard dental implants (SDI).    Methods: The international databases targeted for conducting a broad search included PubMed (Medline), Sco...
