let g be a (p, q) graph. let k be an integer with 2 ≤ k ≤ p and f from v (g) to the set {1, 2, . . . , k} be a map. for each edge uv, assign the label |f(u) − f(v)|. the function f is called a k-difference cordial labeling of g if |νf (i) − vf (j)| ≤ 1 and |ef (0) − ef (1)| ≤ 1 where vf (x) denotes the number of vertices labelled with x (x ∈ {1, 2 . . . , k}), ef (1) and ef (0) respectively den...

BACKGROUND Cycle training intensity for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is normally based on an incremental cycle test. Such tests are expensive and not readily available to clinicians. The six-minute walk test (6MWT) has been proposed as an alternative to an incremental cycle test for this purpose, based on the findings of previous research that the peak oxygen consu...

Background: Cycle training intensity for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is normally based on an incremental cycle test.

The conventional method of testing during wafer sort using an Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) is to provide fixed clock period to the circuit under test (CUT). This may lead to longer test times owing to large number of sequential elements in the design. Under such scenario, it is observed that the dynamic power dissipated during each test cycle varies based on the amount of signal transitions i...

The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the accuracy of a simple step-test procedure supplemented by the measurement of heart rate (HR) (STEP1) to assess the cardiorespiratory capacity i.e., maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) of Thai workers. The subjects comprised 18 men and 17 women. Their ages varied from 19 to 20 years and all were physically active. The subjects performed three tests:...

We introduce diffusively coupled networks where the dynamical system at each vertex is planar Hamiltonian. The problems we address are synchronisation and an analogue of diffusion-driven Turing instability for time-dependent homogeneous states. As a consequence of the underlying Hamiltonian structure there exist unusual behaviours compared with networks of coupled limit cycle oscillators or act...

This paper introduces a collection of inference problems intended for use in evaluation of semantic theories and semantic processing systems for Japanese. The problem set categorizes inference problems according to semantic phenomena that they involve, following the general policy of the FraCaS test suite. It consists of multilingual and Japanese subsets, which together cover both universal sem...

OBJECTIVE The cell cycle profile test is suggested to be an independent prognostic indicator for breast cancer patients. To further clarify the prognostic value, we applied this to breast cancer patients treated with postoperative 5-fluorouracil-based chemotherapy. METHODS A total of 153 breast cancer patients, who were treated with postoperative 5-fluorouracil-based chemotherapies, were rand...

During the last decade, it has become widely accepted that global warming is not simply a natural cycle but that it is being exacerbated by human activity and that the impact of emissions from man-made technologies is substantial and critical. Reduction in the release of greenhouse gasses is therefore very urgent. Rather than direct regulatory action, governments around the world have been conv...
