Without further ado, we present the P3-game. The P3-game is decidable for elementary classes of graphs such as paths and cycles. From an algorithmic point of view, the connected P3-game is fascinating. We show that the connected P3-game is polynomially decidable for classes such as trees, chordal graphs, ladders, cacti, outerplanar graphs and circular arc graphs.

this paper presents a new arc starter circuit that is usable in manual metal arc welding (mma) power supplies. the proposed circuit uses an auxiliary circuit and a series coupling transformer for adding high frequency spikes to output dc voltage during arc striking. the proposed circuit is usable in inverter based arc welding supplies and it could result in a decrease of weigh, volume and expen...

PURPOSE To develop a simplified volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) technique for more accurate dose delivery in thoracic stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). METHODS AND MATERIALS For each of the 22 lung SBRT cases treated with respiratory-gated VMAT, a dose rate modulated arc therapy (DrMAT) plan was retrospectively generated. A dynamic conformal arc therapy plan with 33 adjoinin...

Immunological, hematological, and biochemical studies were done at the time of referral in 135 homosexual subjects, 28 of whom were symptom free (SF), 74 of whom had the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related symptom complex (ARC), and 33 of whom had AIDS with Kaposi's sarcoma, opportunistic infection, or both. Of 38 laboratory parameters, 11 were significantly different than contro...

We present a multi-view annotation framework for Chinese treebanking, which uses dependency structures as the base view and supports conversion into phrase structures with minimal loss of information. A multi-view Chinese treebank was built under the proposed framework, and the first release (PMT 1.0) containing 14,463 sentences is be made freely available. To verify the effectiveness of the mu...
