The cyclic ordering problem is to recognize whether a collection of cyclically ordered triples of elements of a set T is derived from an arrangement of all the elements of T on a circle. This problem is shown to be NP-complete. A cyclic ordering of a set T = {l,. ., t ) is essentially an arrangement of the elements of T on a circle. A specific definition is as follows (see [4]). Two linear orde...

SUMMARY 2000 ,Tehran schoolaged children, were included in a randomized trial to evaluate the risk factors for otitis media with effusion through interviews, a written questionnaire, otoscopy pneumatic and tympanometry. We found that the incidence of OME increased in children with parents who smoke (P<0.001) and were bottle fed as babies (P<0.005). Others factor such as, allergy, sinusitis, p...

introduction: application of light transmitting posts to restore greatly damaged endodontically treated teeth has been increased. it is suspected that light intensity decreases as it passes throughout different materials. this can reduce the degree of conversion required for adequate bond strength throughout the length of these posts. the objective of this study was to evaluate the amount of li...

Discriminative models such as logistic regression profit from the ability to incorporate arbitrary rich features; however, complex dependencies among overlapping features can often result in weight undertraining. One popular method that attempts to mitigate this problem is logarithmic opinion pools (LOP), which is a specialized form of product of experts model that automatically adjusts the wei...

This paper addresses the problem of domain model acquisition from only action traces when the underlying domain model contains static relations. Domain model acquisition is the problem of synthesising a planning domain model from example plan traces and potentially other information, such as intermediate states. The LOCM and LOCM2 domain model acquisition systems are highly effective at determi...

Pseudoexfoliation (PFX) is characterized by the abnormàl production and accumulation of a fibrillar extracellular material with a gray appearance in the anterior segment of the eye and other tissues of the body. It is the most common identifiable cause of open-angle glaucoma, and there is an etio1oical association between PFX and cataract formation. Complication rates for cataract surgery in ey...

Optical remote sensing can contribute to biodiversity monitoring and species composition mapping in tropical forests. Inferring ecological information from canopy reflectance is complex data availability suitable such a task limiting, which makes simulation tools particularly important this context. We explored the capability of 3D radiative transfer model DART (Discrete Anisotropic Radiative T...

In 7 free-recall experiments, the benefit of creating drawings of to-be-remembered information relative to writing was examined as a mnemonic strategy. In Experiments 1 and 2, participants were presented with a list of words and were asked to either draw or write out each. Drawn words were better recalled than written. Experiments 3-5 showed that the memory boost provided by drawing could not b...
