For a simple path Pr on r vertices, the square of Pr is the graph P 2 r on the same set of vertices of Pr, and where every pair of vertices of distance 2 or less in Pr are connected by an edge. Given a (p, q)-graph G with p vertices and q edges, and an integer k ≥ 0, G is said to be k-edge-graceful if the edges can be labeled by k, k+1, . . . , k+q−1 so that the induced vertex sums (mod p) are ...

Black and Pinto bean starches were physically and chemically modified to investigate the effect of modification on digestibility and physicochemical properties of bean starch. The impact of acetylation, oxidation (ozonation) and annealing on the chemical composition, syneresis, swelling volume, pasting, thermal properties and digestibility of starches was evaluated. The physicochemical and esti...

Description and recognition of objects is the central considerations of research on computer vision. The key issue is how to represent 3-D objects on a machine for recognizing them. Researchers of computer vision commonly employ the EGI model, but it is not able to express concave objects. In this paper, the MEGI model and coe cient of extended spherical correlation have been proposed. The MEGI...

In this paper we present the data management tasks and tools used in a flood prediction application of the CROSSGRID project. The application consists of a computational core a cascade of three simulation stages, a workflow manager, two user interfaces and a data management suite. The project is based on the Grid technology, especially the Globus toolkit 2.4 and 3.2 and the EU DataGrid project....

In this paper the research on a person declaring synesthetic abilities will be presented. According to the current state of knowledge synesthesia activates additional cortical fields in the brain which can be found in the EEG. The research was conducted using an EGI-EEG system (Electrical Geodesic Inc., Eugene, Oregon, USA) with the GeoSource software. GeoSource is a tool that implements the al...

IMPORTANCE Physician practice consolidation could promote higher-quality care but may also create greater economic market power that could lead to higher prices for physician services. OBJECTIVE To assess the relationship between physician competition and prices paid by private preferred provider organizations (PPOs) for 10 types of office visits in 10 prominent specialties. DESIGN AND SETT...

In this paper, data presentation and analysis tools, which use R-GMA, the information and monitoring system of the EU DataGrid project, are presented. The information browser is used to quickly browse among large amount of data. Pulse, a flexibly configurable tool is used to analyse and visualise performance data of grid resources and services. PROVE, a performance visualisation tool is used to...
