We consider the problem of online graph colouring. Whenever a node is requested, a colour must be assigned to the node, and this colour must be different from the colours of any of its neighbours. According to the greedy algorithm the node is coloured by the colour with the smallest possible k. The goal is to use as few colours as possible. We propose an algorithm, where the node is coloured no...

Insecurely attached people have less happy, unstable romantic relationships, but the quality of their relationships should depend on how their partners regulate them. Some partners find ways to buffer (emotionally and behaviorally regulate) insecurely attached individuals, which makes them feel better, behave more constructively, and improves their relationships. Understanding when and how this...

ions that can be applied in various ways to the “real world”, including physical systems (fluid filled communicating vessels); boundaries of physical system and of buffered system need not be

Melatonin modulates a wide range of physiological functions with pleiotropic effects on the immune system. Despite the large number of reports implicating melatonin as an immunomodulatory compound, it still remains unclear how melatonin regulates immunity. While some authors argue that melatonin is an immunostimulant, many studies have also described anti-inflammatory properties. The data revie...

We introduce and solve a new problem inspired by energy pricing schemes in which a client is billed for peak usage. At each timeslot the system meets an energy demand through a combination of a new request, an unreliable amount of free source energy (e.g. solar or wind power), and previously received energy. The added piece of infrastructure is the battery, which can store surplus energy for fu...

In this letter, we study the effect of adaptive transmission on performance coded-caching based networks. Particularly, concentrating reduction backhaul peak load during high traffic periods, develop rate and power allocation schemes maximizing network successful probability, which is defined as average probability that cache nodes decode their intended signals correctly. Moreover, different me...

The leaner (tg(la)) mouse mutation occurs in the gene encoding the voltage-activated Ca(2+) channel alpha(1A) subunit, the pore-forming subunit of P/Q-type Ca(2+) channels. This mutation results in dramatic reductions in P-type Ca(2+) channel function in cerebellar Purkinje neurons of tg(la)/tg(la) mice that could affect intracellular Ca(2+) signaling. We combined whole cell patch-clamp electro...

BACKGROUND Advancements in geographic information systems over the past two decades have increased the specificity by which an individual's neighborhood environment may be spatially defined for physical activity and health research. This study investigated how different types of street network buffering methods compared in measuring a set of commonly used built environment measures (BEMs) and t...

In this thesis, the performance investigation of packet services in both a standalone UMTS network and a UMTS network coexisting with other networks is undertaken. The investigations are concerned with the performance of a single link. Apart from objective performance metrics such as goodput and delay, subjective measures of user perceived QoS are also used. A real time emulation platform that ...

Abstract Professionals within street-level organizations are essential for the delivery of public services to citizens. However, among a number difficult dilemmas, they have deal with an extensive workload. The police can be seen as good example this; expected solve most crimes, including so-called mass crimes and more spectacular cases that make it into media headlines, often on continually de...
