How Many Loops Kolam Loop Pattern Consists of

Extended Pasting Scheme for Kolam Pattern Generation

The theory of “Formal Languages” had been applied successfully to study the aspect of generating patterns of the kolam folk designs. In this paper a new picture generating method by the use of pasting of tiles is presented. The generating model “Pasting Scheme” and its variant “Extended Pasting Scheme” are shown to generate patterns including kolams of kambi and non-kambi types and tessellation...

How many patients? How many doctors?

O ne of the fastest growing fields in medicine is the care of adults with congenital heart disease (adult CHD or ACHD). This is mainly a consequence of much longer survival due to advances in pediatric cardiology, interven-tional catheterization, cardiac surgery, and intensive care. Fifty years ago we could diagnose most forms of moderate and severe CHD, but some anomalies were untreatable and ...

Random Graph Ensembles with Many Short Loops

Networks observed in the real world often have many short loops. This violates the treelike assumption that underpins the majority of random graph models and most of the methods used for their analysis. In this paper we sketch possible research routes to be explored in order to make progress on networks with many short loops, involving old and new random graph models and ideas for novel mathema...

HOW MANY FACTORS ? 1 Question Number Two : How Many Factors ?

Exploratory factor analysis involves five key decisions. The second decision, how many factors to retain, is the focus of the current paper. Extracting too many or too few factors often leads to devastating effects on study results. The advantages and disadvantages of the most effective and/or most utilized strategies to determine the number of factors to extract will be explored. Equipped with...
