An orthogonal double cover (ODC) of the complete graph Kn by a graph G is a collection G of n spanning subgraphs of Kn, all isomorphic toG, such that any two members ofG share exactly one edge and every edge ofKn is contained in exactly two members of G. In the 1980s Hering posed the problem to decide the existence of an ODC for the case that G is an almost-Hamiltonian cycle, i.e. a cycle of le...

in this study, flow characteristics through symmetric stenosis artery are investigated. the shape of eccentricity for stenotic flows is limited by circular-cross sections and plaques are usually assumed as to be oriented concentrically. thegoverningequationsaretheusualnavier-stokesequationsandare numericallysolved by using finite volumemethod in arbitrary orthogonal curvilinear coordinates. in ad...

We propose an approach to constructing a new type of design, a sliced space-filling design, intended for computer experiments with qualitative and quantitative factors. The approach starts with constructing a Latin hypercube design based on a special orthogonal array for the quantitative factors and then partitions the design into groups corresponding to different level combinations of the qual...

A simple orthogonal array OA(q2n−1, q2n−2, q, 2) is constructed by using the action of a large subgroup of PGL(n + 1, q2) on a set of non degenerate Hermitian varieties in PG(n, q2).

 Background:It is possible that some hamate hook fractures are not diagnosed or treated, thereby affecting the study of their natural history. Study of the prevalence of incidental hamate hook fractures, nonunions, and other abnormalities on computed tomography (CT) ordered for another reason could document a subset of undiagnosed and untreated hamate hook fractures which might change our under...

An (r,λ)-design with mutually balanced nested subdesigns ( for brevity, (r,λ)-design with MBN ) is introduced firstly in this paper. It is shown that an (r,λ)design with MBN is equivalent to a balanced array of strength 2 with s symbols. By the use of a nested design and an orthogonal array, a construction of an (r,λ)design with MBN is given. A direct construction of such an (r,λ)-design, based...
