BACKGROUND Menstrual irregularity is an indicator of endocrine disorders and reproductive health status. It is associated with various diseases and medical conditions, including obesity and underweight. We aimed to assess the association between body weight changes and menstrual irregularity in Korean women. METHODS A total of 4,621 women 19 to 54 years of age who participated in the 2010 to ...

A closed walk in a connected graph G that contains every edge of G exactly once is an Eulerian circuit. A graph is Eulerian if it contains an Eulerian circuit. It is well known that a connected graph G is Eulerian if and only if every vertex of G is even. An Eulerian walk in a connected graph G is a closed walk that contains every edge of G at least once, while an irregular Eulerian walk in G i...

I construct normal del Pezzo surfaces, and regular weak del Pezzo surfaces as well, with positive irregularity q > 0. Such things can happen only over nonperfect fields. The surfaces in question are twisted forms of nonnormal del Pezzo surfaces, which were classified by Reid. The twisting is with respect to the flat topology and infinitesimal group scheme actions. The twisted surfaces appear as...

A vertex irregular total k-labeling of a graph G with vertex set V and edge set E is an assignment of positive integer labels {1, 2, ..., k} to both vertices and edges so that the weights calculated at vertices are distinct. The total vertex irregularity strength of G, denoted by tvs(G)is the minimum value of the largest label k over all such irregular assignment. In this paper, we study the to...

congestive heart failure (chf) remains to be one of the major cardiovascular disorders in the world. due to the prevalence of chf related issues, it is prudent to seek out new prognostic predictors that would facilitate the prevention, monitoring, and treatment of the disease on a daily basis. a detection approach using entropy measures extracted from surface electrocardiograms (ecgs) and class...

High irregularity of Iris tissue is the main reason of its usage in identification systems. In some literatures, this irregularity has been known as a result of a stochastic genetic process. In this paper an efficient method based on the Poincaré section and modified version of fractal dimension is used. In fact, this method is introduced a pattern for decision making about series specification...

Let G be a simple graph with no isolated edges and at most one isolated vertex. For a positive integer w, a w-weighting of G is a map f : E(G) → {1, 2, . . . , w}. An irregularity strength of G, s(G), is the smallest w such that there is a w-weighting of G for which ∑

Irregularities in force output are present throughout human movement and can impair task performance. We investigated the presence of a large force discontinuity (after-peak reduction, APR) that appeared immediately following peak in maximal effort ramp contractions performed with the thumb adductor and ankle dorsiflexor muscles in 25 young adult participants (76% males, 24% females; M age 24.4...

Consider a simple graph G with no isolated edges and at most one isolated vertex. A labeling w : E(G) → {1, 2, . . . ,m} is called product-irregular, if all product degrees pdG(v) = ∏ e3v w(e) are distinct. The goal is to obtain a product-irregular labeling that minimizes the maximum label. This minimum value is called the product irregularity strength. The analogous concept of irregularity str...

In this paper, we tighten the concise Turán theorem for irregular graphs, using spectral and non-spectral proofs. We then investigate to what extent Turán’s theorem can be similarly strengthened for generalized r-partite graphs.
