Minimum cycle bases for direct products of K2 with complete graphs
(
University of Queensland Press
, 2009 , Article)
We construct a minimum cycle basis for the direct product K2 x Kp of two complete graphs where p > 2. For p > 3, these bases consists only of squares. This completes the work of R. Hammack, who treated the case Kp x ...
Total and high molecular weight adiponectin in patients with coronary artery disease
(
Wolters Kluwer Health
, 2009 , Article)
BACKGROUND: Serum adiponectin inversely correlates with the extent of coronary artery disease (CAD). OBJECTIVES: To investigate the clinical significance of measuring high molecular weight (HMW) adiponectin in addition to ...
On rough maximal operators and Marcinkiewicz integrals along submanifolds
(2009 , Article)
We investigate the LP boundedness for a class of parametric Marcinkiewicz integral operators associated to submanifolds and a class of related maximal operators under the L(log L)α(Sn-1) condition on the kernel functions. ...
Fuzzy Logic in neurosurgery: predicting poor outcomes after lumbar disk surgery in 501 consecutive patients
(
Elsevier
, 2009 , Article)
Background: Despite a lot of research into patient selection, a significant number of patients fail to benefit from surgery for symptomatic lumbar disk herniation. We have used Fuzzy Logic-based fuzzy inference system (FIS) ...
The Gulf: A young sea in decline
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2009 , Article)
This review examines the substantial changes that have taken place in marine habitats and resources of the Gulf over the past decade. The habitats are especially interesting because of the naturally high levels of temperature ...
Modeling and optimization of biogas production from a waste digester using artificial neural network and genetic algorithm
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2009 , Article)
Artificial neural networks (ANNs) and genetic algorithms (GA) are considered among the latest tools that are used to solve complicated problems that cannot be solved by conventional solutions. The present study utilizes ...
Comparative study on the behavior of square foundations resting on confined sand
(
Canadian Science Publishing
, 2009 , Article)
The behavior of shallow foundations resting on laterally and (or) vertically confined sand has been investigated using physical and numerical modeling. The models were designed to simulate the frequently constructed raft ...
Autonomous corrosion detection in gas pipelines: A hybrid-fuzzy classifier approach using ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation protocols
(
IEEE
, 2009 , Article)
In this paper, a customized classifier is presented for the industry-practiced nondestructive evaluation (NDE) protocols using a hybrid-fuzzy inference system (FIS) to classify the corrosion and distinguish it from the ...
Operational modeling of multistream heat exchangers with phase changes
(
Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company
, 2009 , Article)
Multistream heat exchangers (MSHE) enable the simultaneous exchange of heat among multiple streams, and are preferred in cryogenic processes such as air separation and LNG. Most MSHEs are complex; proprietary and involve ...
A Resolver Angle Estimator Based on Its Excitation Signal
(
IEEE
, 2009 , Article)
A resolver generates a pair of signals proportional to the sine and cosine of the angular position of its shaft. A new low-cost method for converting the amplitudes of these sine/cosine transducer signals into a measure ...
