Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple connected graph. A matching $M$ in a graph $G$ is a collection of edges of $G$ such that no two edges from $M$ share a vertex. A matching $M$ is maximal if it cannot be extended to a larger matching in $G$. The cardinality of any smallest maximal matching in $G$ is the saturation number of $G$ and is denoted by $s(G)$. In this paper we study the saturation numbe...

Te-Ming Tu Shun-Chi Su Hsuen-Chyun Shyu Ping Sheng Huang Chung Cheng Institute of Technology Department of Electrical Engineering Taoyuan, Taiwan 33509 Republic of China Abstract. The intensity-hue-saturation (IHS) and Brovey transforms are two widespread image fusion methods in the remote sensing community. However, both are sensitive to the characteristics of the analyzed area. Restated, they...

background & aim : pulse oximetry is a frequently used and standard non-invasive method for monitoring oxygen (o2)-saturation in blood. many factors including dark skin and pigmentation may effect on rate of saturation of the blood oxygen absorbed by pulse oximetry. the effect of nail polish and/or henna color on blood oxygen has not been yet identified and the present study has been carried ou...

There have been extensive studies on the performance and behavior of 802.11 networks. These studies primarily focus on the so-called saturation regime, where all clients/user queues always have packets to send. A prominent study is the work by Bianchi [1], as well as numerous subsequent studies. This saturation operating regime may be viewed as the limiting case when all the arrival rates in th...

The principles of sequential saturation as a form of competitive binding assays are discussed in detail and differentiated from those of equilibrium techniques. The rationale of its applicability in practice and its potential to increase sensitivity under certain assay conditions are demonstrated with three binding systems involving digoxin, insulin, and folates. The advantages and disadvantage...

iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by coprecipitation method using ammonia as precipitation agent. most researchers usually add ammonia into the iron salt solution but in this work the salt solution drop wise has been added to the ammonia and the new obtained results were compared with those of other researches. magnetic properties of nanoparticles were measured by vsm. the effect of rea...

CYP2C9 wild-type protein has been shown to exhibit atypical kinetic profiles of metabolism that may affect in vitro-in vivo predictions made during the drug development process. Previous work suggests a substrate-dependent effect of polymorphic variants of CYP2C9 on the rate of metabolism; however, it is hypothesized that these active site amino acid changes will affect the kinetic profile of a...
