Abstract Background Nodular (NM) and superficial spreading melanoma (SSM) show different disease trajectories, with more rapid development in NM fewer opportunities for early detection often resulting worse outcomes. Our study described the patient-identified signs of thin via comparisons to (≤ 2 mm) SSM thick (> NM. Methods We conducted semi-structured interviews patients analyzed data usin...

Protecting the remaining wild salmon stock in Norway is of utmost importance and requires that farmed cannot escape from aquaculture sites. As holes net-cages are responsible for a large fraction escaped industry has to perform frequent inspections fish cage integrity. In this paper we propose an image processing computer vision based attention mechanism towards more automated fish-cage inspect...

congestive heart failure (chf) remains to be one of the major cardiovascular disorders in the world. due to the prevalence of chf related issues, it is prudent to seek out new prognostic predictors that would facilitate the prevention, monitoring, and treatment of the disease on a daily basis. a detection approach using entropy measures extracted from surface electrocardiograms (ecgs) and class...

High irregularity of Iris tissue is the main reason of its usage in identification systems. In some literatures, this irregularity has been known as a result of a stochastic genetic process. In this paper an efficient method based on the Poincaré section and modified version of fractal dimension is used. In fact, this method is introduced a pattern for decision making about series specification...

Let G be a simple graph with no isolated edges and at most one isolated vertex. For a positive integer w, a w-weighting of G is a map f : E(G) → {1, 2, . . . , w}. An irregularity strength of G, s(G), is the smallest w such that there is a w-weighting of G for which ∑

Irregularities in force output are present throughout human movement and can impair task performance. We investigated the presence of a large force discontinuity (after-peak reduction, APR) that appeared immediately following peak in maximal effort ramp contractions performed with the thumb adductor and ankle dorsiflexor muscles in 25 young adult participants (76% males, 24% females; M age 24.4...

Consider a simple graph G with no isolated edges and at most one isolated vertex. A labeling w : E(G) → {1, 2, . . . ,m} is called product-irregular, if all product degrees pdG(v) = ∏ e3v w(e) are distinct. The goal is to obtain a product-irregular labeling that minimizes the maximum label. This minimum value is called the product irregularity strength. The analogous concept of irregularity str...

In this paper, we tighten the concise Turán theorem for irregular graphs, using spectral and non-spectral proofs. We then investigate to what extent Turán’s theorem can be similarly strengthened for generalized r-partite graphs.
