Given two classifications, or lightweight ontologies, we compute the minimal mapping, namely the subset of all possible correspondences, called mapping elements, between them such that i) all the others can be computed from them in time linear in the size of the input ontologies, and ii) none of them can be dropped without losing property i). In this paper we provide a formal definition of mini...

BACKGROUND Few studies have assessed the predictors of changes in commuting. This study investigated the associations between physical environmental characteristics and changes in active commuting. METHODS Adults from the population-based European Prospective Investigation into Cancer (EPIC)-Norfolk cohort self-reported commuting patterns in 2000 and 2007. Active commuters were defined as tho...

INTRODUCTION Active commuting is associated with a reduced risk of several chronic diseases, but few studies have considered institutional factors that influence it. We examined the association between cultural and physical workplace supports for active commuting and employee active commuting behavior. METHODS Data were collected from employees (N = 375) in Manhattan, Kansas, via an online su...

BACKGROUND The current study examined the associations between active commuting to school, cognitive performance, and academic achievement in Dutch adolescents. In addition, it was explored whether these associations were moderated by sex and mediated by depressive symptoms. METHODS Students in grades 7 and 9 (N = 270; mean age 13.4 years; 53% boys) were included. Active commuting to school w...

In this paper, we prove strong convergence results for a modified Mann iterative process for a new class of I- nearly weak uniformly L-Lipschitzian mappings in a real Banach space. The class of I-nearly weak uniformly L-Lipschitzian mappings is an interesting generalization of the class of nearly weak uniformly L-Lipschitzian mappings which inturn is a generalization of the class of nearly unif...

‎in a recent paper c‎. ‎miguel proved that the diameter of the commuting graph of the matrix ring $mathrm{m}_n(mathbb{r})$ is equal to $4$ if either $n=3$ or $ngeq5$‎. ‎but the case $n=4$ remained open‎, ‎since the diameter could be $4$ or $5$‎. ‎in this work we close the problem showing that also in this case the diameter is $4$.

‎Suppose $n$ is a fixed positive integer‎. ‎We introduce the relative n-th non-commuting graph $Gamma^{n} _{H,G}$‎, ‎associated to the non-abelian subgroup $H$ of group $G$‎. ‎The vertex set is $Gsetminus C^n_{H,G}$ in which $C^n_{H,G} = {xin G‎ : ‎[x,y^{n}]=1 mbox{~and~} [x^{n},y]=1mbox{~for~all~} yin H}$‎. ‎Moreover‎, ‎${x,y}$ is an edge if $x$ or $y$ belong to $H$ and $xy^{n}eq y^{n}x$ or $x...

Let $R$ be a non-commutative ring with unity. The commuting graph of $R$ denoted by $Gamma(R)$, is a graph with vertex set $RZ(R)$ and two vertices $a$ and $b$ are adjacent iff $ab=ba$. In this paper, we consider the commuting graph of non-commutative rings of order pq and $p^2q$ with Z(R) = 0 and non-commutative rings with unity of order $p^3q$. It is proved that $C_R(a)$ is a commutative ring...

BACKGROUND Walking or bicycling to school (ie, active commuting) has shown promise for improving physical activity and preventing obesity in youth. Our objectives were to examine, among US youth, whether active commuting was inversely associated with adiposity and positively associated with moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA). We also examined whether MVPA mediated the relationships b...
