We confront the recent proposal of Emerging Brane Inflation with WMAP3+SDSS, finding a scalar spectral index of ns = 0.9659 +0.0049 −0.0052 in excellent agreement with observations. The proposal incorporates a preceding phase of isotropic, non accelerated expansion in all dimensions, providing suitable initial conditions for inflation. Additional observational constraints on the parameters of t...

We exhibit a graceful labelling for each generalised Petersen graph P8t,3 with t ≥ 1. As an easy consequence, we obtain that for any fixed t the corresponding graph is the unique starter graph for a cyclic edgedecomposition of the complete graph K2t+1. Due to its extreme versatility, the technique employed looks promising for finding new graceful labellings, not necessarily involving generalise...

There is a complicated relation between cold flat rolling parameters such as effective input parameters of cold rolling, output cold rolling force and exit thickness of strips. In many mathematical models, the effect of some cold rolling parameters has been ignored and the outputs have not a desirable accuracy. In the other hand, there is a special relation among input thickness of strips, the ...

ABSTRACT Background: In vivo measurements of applied dose during radiotherapy treatment, is important to ensure accurate dose delivery to patients. Uncertainty in dose delivery should fall within ±5% of the prescribed dose as recommended by ICRU. Assessment of dose for radiotherapy applications performed with various types of detectors. In this study, semiconductor diodes were used which have s...

introduction: elderly patients suffer disproportionally from a number of chronically painful conditions, with arthritis leading the list. osteoarthritis (oa) is the most common joint disorder and the most prevalent cause of joint pain across the spectrum of middle age to elderly. enhancing behavioral intention toward self-care for oa, previously known as proximal predictor of self-care, is one ...
