We give a simple and intuitive fixed parameter tractable algorithm for the Odd Cycle Transversal problem, running in time O(3 · k · |E| · |V |). Our algorithm is best viewed as a reinterpretation of the classical Iterative Compression algorithm for Odd Cycle Transversal by Reed, Smith and Vetta [8].

January/February 2005 • Vol 95 • No 1 • Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association Equinus deformity is defined as a limitation of dorsiflexion motion of the ankle joint. Although many authors have attempted to specify the necessary degrees of ankle dorsiflexion, normative values have been limited.1, 2 Biomechanically, the maximum amount of dorsiflexion in the stance phase of normal ...

Introduction : As the modified Ferriman–Gallwey (mFG) score is unsuitable for self-assessment and requires specialist training, a short, self-administered questionnaire to identify hirsutism was constructed validated large-scale application, particularly targeting population-based studies. Design: A validation study conducted assess new (NHQ). Material Methods: total of 90 women aged 35-60 ye...

One of the major goals of most early concept learners was to find hypotheses that were perfectly consistent with the training data. It was believed that this goal would indirectly achieve a high degree of predictive accuracy on a set of test data. Later research has partially disproved this belief. However, the issue of consistency has not yet been resolved completely. We examine the issue of c...
