Neutrophil mobility in 60 patients with vitamin D-deficient rickets is studied, and the patients are followed after therapy by 600,000 units vitamin D. 28 of 60 patients (46%), had low chemotaxis for neutrophils before vitamin D injection (migration), and 36 of 60 (60%) had low random mobility. The results showed a significant improvement after vitamin D therapy furthermore, the level of c...

A graph G is said to be hyper-connected if the removal of every minimum cut creates exactly two connected components, one of which is an isolated vertex. In this paper, we first generalize the concept of hyper-connected graphs to that of semi-hyper-connected graphs: a graph G is called semi-hyper-connected if the removal of every minimum cut of G creates exactly two components. Then we characte...

Hyper-heuristics are methodologies used to search the space of heuristics for solving computationally di cult problems. We describe an object-oriented domain analysis for hyper-heuristics that orthogonally decomposes the domain into generative policy components. The framework facilitates the recursive instantiation of hyper-heuristics over hyper-heuristics, allowing further exploration of the p...

We compare deterministic finite automata (DFAs) and biautomata under the following two aspects: structural similarities between minimal and hyper-minimal automata, and computational complexity of the minimization and hyper-minimization problem. Concerning classical minimality, the known results such as isomorphism between minimal DFAs, and NL-completeness of the DFA minimization problem carry o...

This paper investigates a tabu assisted genetic algorithm based hyper-heuristic (hyper-TGA) for personnel scheduling problems. We recently introduced a hyper-heuristic genetic algorithm (hyper-GA) with an adaptive length chromosome which aims to evolve an ordering of low-level heuristics in order to find good quality solutions to given problems. The addition of a tabu method, the focus of this ...

1 The relationship between hypertext and L A T E X Unlike hyper market, hyper tension and hyper-activity, where the prefix hyper-expresses high quantity, and excess, hyper text is not a giant text, but a text with an internal structure that viewers can exploit to allow for non-linear navigation through the document.tian Rahtz, who apologize to Yannis for the massacre of his elegant writing styl...

In this paper, by considering the notion of hyper hoop-algebras, we define the concepts of (strong) regular relations on hyper hoop-algebras and investigate some properties of them. Then we construct a quotient (hyper) hoop-algebra by a (strong)regular relation on hyper hoop-algebras. Finally, we define the notion of maximal filter and we investigate the relation between quotient simple hyper h...
