The term fractal was first introduced by Mandelbrot to denote sets with highly irregular structures. Mandelbrot and others have then used fractals to model various natural phenomena (for example, [19, 2]). A mathematical development of fractals via the theory of (non-random) self-similar sets and measures was given by Hutchinson [12]. A family of contractive maps {Sj}^ on E m is called an itera...

We study the computational complexity of partitioning the vertices of a graph into generalized dominating sets. Generalized dominating sets are parameterized by two sets of nonnegative integers and which constrain the neighborhood N (v) of vertices. A set S of vertices of a graph is said to be a (;)-set if 8v 2 S : jN(v) \ Sj 2 and 8v 6 2 S : jN(v) \ Sj 2 .

A moderate dose of caffeine may enhance muscular strength and power, particularly in males. Less is known on caffeine’s impact performance females. PURPOSE: To determine the effects a 200 mg gum power recreationally active METHODS: Nineteen women performed 3 laboratory sessions beginning with familiarization trial. They came to total sessions, first being For visits 2 3, participants were asked...

We study the computational complexity of partitioning the vertices of a graph into generalized dominating sets. Generalized dominating sets are param-eterized by two sets of nonnegative integers and which constrain the neighborhood N (v) of vertices. A set S of vertices of a graph is said to be a (;)-set if 8v 2 S : jN(v)\Sj 2 and 8v 6 2 S : jN(v)\Sj 2 .

(h(tj−1) can be replaced by h(sj), for any sj ∈ [tj−1, tj ].) As n gets larger and larger while the partition gets finer and finer, the approximating sum to the true area under the function becomes exact. This “dt” integration can be generalized to increments “dG(t)” of (say) any monotone increasing function G(t) by using G(tj) − G(tj−1) in place of tj − tj−1 yielding the so-called Riemann-Stie...

The aim of this study was to determine the reliability of the squat jump test (SJ) and countermovement jump test (CMJ), in fifty-six children (30 girls and 26 boys) with ages ranging from 6 to 8 years. Each subject performed two evaluation sessions (T1, T2) with seven days between tests. The results show that the CMJ test has a high intratrial reproducibility in T1 and T2 measured through intra...

Using sludge at the bottom of Hengshui Lake as samples, and screened out the SJ-9 strain with PHA synthesis capability by enrichment, purification, Nile blue staining, far-infrared spectroscopy and gas qualitative and quantitative analysis. The infrared scanning of SJ-9 bacteria product showed that this product was middle chain PHA. Optimization of SJ-9 fermentation conditions obtained the opti...

Lipid phosphate phosphatases (LPPs) are integral membrane enzymes that regulate the levels of bioactive lipids such as sphingosine 1-phosphate and lysophosphatidic acid. The Drosophila LPPs Wunen (Wun) and Wunen-2 (Wun2) have a well-established role in regulating the survival and migration of germ cells. We now show that wun has an essential tissue-autonomous role in development of the trachea:...

• We are interested in interactive light field segmentation from a reference view. • Challenge for light fields: the amount of data to process in order to edit all the views simultaneously. • In particular, the running time for graph-based approaches, such as graph-cut, increases greatly with the size of the input graph. • We assume a depth map to be known for each view. Our Method Building The...
