Computationally Equivalent Elimination of Conditions

An automatic and easy to implement transformation of conditional term rewrite systems into computationally equivalent unconditional term rewrite systems is presented. No special support is needed from the underlying unconditional rewrite engine. Since unconditional rewriting is more amenable to parallelization, our transformation is expected to lead to efficient concurrent implementations of re...

Metabolic equivalent: one size does not fit all.

The metabolic equivalent (MET) is a widely used physiological concept that represents a simple procedure for expressing energy cost of physical activities as multiples of resting metabolic rate (RMR). The value equating 1 MET (3.5 ml O2 x kg(-1) x min(-1) or 1 kcal x kg(-1) x h(-1)) was first derived from the resting O2 consumption (VO2) of one person, a 70-kg, 40-yr-old man. Given the extensiv...

An example of $,-equivalent spaces which are not &-equivalent

We construct an example of two countable spaces X and Y such that the spaces C,‘(X) and CG (Y) are homeomorphic and the spaces C,(X) and C,(Y) are not homeomorphic. o 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.

Generalized Intersection Bodies Are Not Equivalent

In [Kol00], A. Koldobsky asked whether two types of generalizations of the notion of an intersection-body, are in fact equivalent. The structures of these two types of generalized intersection-bodies have been studied in [Mil06b], providing substantial evidence for a positive answer to this question. The purpose of this note is to construct a counter-example, which provides a surprising negativ...
