hershfield method is commonly used for computing probable maximum precipitation (pmp) in most parts of the world for which the frequency factor (km) is considered to be 15 for computing 24-h pmp (pmp24). this value may not be suitable for different stations under different climatic conditions. in 1986 the world meteorological organization standardized the hershfield method and introduced the re...

AIM To compare the effect of 7 h of prolonged sitting on resting blood pressure with a similar duration of sitting combined with intermittent brief bouts of light-intensity or moderate-intensity physical activity. METHODS AND RESULTS Overweight/obese adults (n = 19; aged 45-65 years) were recruited for a randomized three-treatment crossover trial with a one-week washout between treatments: 1)...

A sequence S is potentially Km − H-graphical if it has a realization containing a Km − H as a subgraph. Let σ(Km − H,n) denote the smallest degree sum such that every n-term graphical sequence S with σ(S) ≥ σ(Km−H,n) is potentially Km−H-graphical. In this paper, we determine σ(Kr+1−(kP2 ⋃ tK2), n) for n ≥ 4r+10, r+1 ≥ 3k+2t, k+t ≥ 2, k ≥ 1, t ≥ 0 .

Abstract Native bees are pollinators and bioindicators of ecosystem health but only little is known about its abundance, species distribution, habitat range, especially in the Philippines. This study assessed diversity spatial distribution native Mt. Banahaw de Lucban (MBDL). Belt transect coupled with opportunistic sampling were used inventory their nests. Nests occurrence 7 environmental pred...
