We investigate the irregularity strength (s(G)) and total vertex irregularity strength (tvs(G)) of circulant graphs Cin(1, 2, . . . , k) and prove that tvs(Cin(1, 2, . . . , k)) = ⌈ n+2k 2k+1 ⌉ , while s(Cin(1, 2, . . . , k)) = ⌈ n+2k−1 2k ⌉ except if either n = 2k + 1 or if k is odd and n ≡ 2k + 1(mod4k), then s(Cin(1, 2, . . . , k)) = ⌈ n+2k−1 2k ⌉ + 1.

Implantable devices capable of several modes of therapy will require differentiation of various ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Three methods of arrhythmia analysis, magnitude-squared coherence, ventricular rate, and irregularity of cycle length were performed for 45 episodes of induced ventricular tachyarrhythmia in 15 patients. Differentiation of monomorphic ventricular tachycardia from polymor...

car body acceleration is an important factor affecting track safety and ride comfort, which are two primary aspects of railway systems. though track level is an important source of wagon body acceleration, no quantitative relation between them is available and the aim of this paper is to propose a method to address this issue. to do so, car body acceleration is determined using a 10 dof simulat...

We compare constrained and unconstrained power law irregularity models for characterizing and interpreting scintillations caused by field-aligned irregularities in the equatorial ionosphere. The unconstrained irregularity model we consider is the two-component power law model described in (Carrano and Rino, Radio Sci., 2016). The constrained irregularity model encapsulates this twocomponent mod...

We investigate a modification of well known irregularity strength of graph, namely the total edge irregularity strength. An edge irregular total k-labeling φ : V ∪E → {1, 2, . . . , k} of a graph G is a labeling of vertices and edges of G in such a way that for any two different edges uv and u′v′ their weights φ(u)+φ(uv)+φ(v) and φ(u′)+φ(u′v′)+φ(v′) are distinct. The total edge irregularity str...

In the cortex, the timing of successive action potentials is highly irregular. The interpretation of this irregularity has led to two divergent views of cortical organization. On the one hand, the irregularity might arise from stochastic forces. If so, the irregular interspike interval reflects a random process and implies that an instantaneous estimate of the spike rate can be obtained by aver...

A numerical study on the dynamic responses of irregular fibers under axial tension is presented in this article. The irregularity was represented by a sinusoidal shape profile along the fiber axis. The finite element method was used in the simulations and the maximum first principal stress due to the dynamic pulling has been examined. Our numerical results indicate that the first principal stre...

AIMS Reduced irregularity of RR intervals in permanent atrial fibrillation (AF) has been associated with poor outcome. It is not fully understood, however, whether modification of atrioventricular (AV) conduction using rate-control drugs affects RR variability and irregularity measures. We aimed at assessing whether atrial fibrillatory rate (AFR) and variability and irregularity of the ventricu...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to investigate the duration of mandibular-crowding alleviation with self-ligating brackets compared with conventional appliances and the accompanying dental effects. METHODS Fifty-four subjects were selected from a pool of patients satisfying the following inclusion criteria: nonextraction treatment in the mandibular or maxillary arches; eruption of all ...
