An axis-parallel b-dimensional box is a Cartesian product R1 ×R2 × . . .× Rb where each Ri (for 1 ≤ i ≤ b) is a closed interval of the form [ai, bi] on the real line. The boxicity of any graph G, box(G) is the minimum positive integer b such that G can be represented as the intersection graph of axis parallel b-dimensional boxes. A b-dimensional cube is a Cartesian product R1 × R2 × . . . × Rb,...

In this paper, a specific Spatial Modulation of Magne t i za t ion (SPAMM) imaging protocol and associated image analysis methods are proposed. T h e imaging process creates long axis tag p lanes which are coincident with short-axis i m a g e slices a t t h e t i m e of on-set of tags. In addition, o n e se t of short-axis tag planes are created coincident w i t h long-axis image slices a t the...

A method for the practical determination of the absolute concentration of single (a1delta(g)) oxygen is discussed. The method is based on sensitive off-axis integrated-cavity-output spectroscopy (ICOS). Off-axis ICOS allows narrowband, continuous-wave lasers to be used in conjunction with optical cavities to record sensitive absorption measurements. The details of the method as well as spectros...

Background The Mendelian Susceptibility to Mycobacterial Diseases (MSMD) is a rare congenital syndrome that confers a predisposition to recurrent infections by mycobacteria. All genetic defects that lead to MSMD produce changes at IL-12/23-IFN-g axis. We aimed to evaluate the IL-12/ 23-IFN-g axis in adult patients with recurrent mycobacterial infections in order to identify possible MSMD patients.

In this paper, we demonstrate a miniature magnetic-force-based, three-axis, AC magnetic sensor with piezoelectric/vibrational energy-harvesting functions. For magnetic sensing, the sensor employs a magnetic-mechanical-piezoelectric configuration (which uses magnetic force and torque, a compact, single, mechanical mechanism, and the piezoelectric effect) to convert x-axis and y-axis in-plane and...

In this paper, the methodology for verifying inverse kinematic equations is presented. Analysis of structure machine shown, which results in needed configuration machine's postprocessor. The proposed paper a five-axis tool with two rotating axes on spindle. X'OYZBA. derived are used to transform CL data test model into G code virtual tool. A simplified developed using PTC Creo software, initial...

An axis-aligned string is a simple polygonal path, where each line segment is parallel to an axis in R. Given a graph G, a string contact representation Ψ of G maps the vertices of G to interior disjoint axis-aligned strings, where no three strings meet at a point, and two strings share a common point if and only if their corresponding vertices are adjacent in G. The complexity of Ψ is the mini...
