For two integers k(> 0) and s(≥ 0), a cycle of length l is called an (s mod k)-cycle if l ≡ s mod k. In this paper, the following conjecture of Chen, Dean, and Shreve [5] is proved: Every 2-connected graph with at least six vertices and minimum degree at least three contains a (2 mod 4)-cycle.

The Online Romance Scam is a very successful scam which causes considerable financial and emotional damage to its victims. It is based on building a relationship which establishes a deep trust that causes victims to voluntarily transfer funds to the scammer. The aim of this research is to explore online dating scams as a type of e-Living which initially creates happiness for the victim in a vir...

Dynamic capabilities enable firms to reconfigure limited resources or relative strengths to respond to rapid changes in market conditions. This study considers the central role of IT in creating and enhancing dynamic capabilities by analyzing the essential determinants of dynamic marketing capabilities and proposing a model that includes market orientation, IT infrastructure capabilities, and u...

An adaptable relation extraction system for the biomedical domain is presented. The system makes use of a large set of contextual and shallow syntactic features, which can be automatically optimised for each relation type. The system is tested on three different relation types; protein-protein interactions, tissue expression relations and fragment to parent protein relations.

Nathanson constructed bases of integers with a prescribed representation function, then asked how dense they can be. Chen constructed unique representation bases of integers which is infinitely often dense. In this paper, we will see how to construct bases of integers with a prescribed representation function which is infinitely often dense.

A novel QSPR development technique is proposed with the aim to combine the advantages of the two methods most frequently applied. A quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) is developed using this technique to relate the molecular structures of 645 diverse organic compounds to their vapor pressures at 25 C expressed as logVP. The compounds are encoded with topological, electronic, ge...
