Given a tree and a set P of non-trivial simple paths on it, Vpt(P) is the VPT graph (i.e. the vertex intersection graph) of the paths P of the tree T , and Ept(P) is the EPT graph (i.e. the edge intersection graph) of P. These graphs have been extensively studied in the literature. Given two (edge) intersecting paths in a graph, their split vertices is the set of vertices having degree at least...

nloaded kground: Although it is well established that combined estrogen-progestin therapy (EPT) increases cancer risk, questions remain regarding the effect of different formulations of hormones, whether ceromen are at particularly high risk, and whether risk varies by tumor subtype. thods: We investigated hormone therapy (HT) use in relation to breast cancer risk in the California rs Study coh...

BACKGROUND Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT) has been shown to improve treatment outcomes among heterosexual partners of individuals with curable sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Although the use of EPT with men who have sex with men (MSM) has been debated, due to the potential for missed opportunities to diagnose unidentified cases of HIV and syphilis infection in symptomatic partners, in...

The simultaneous, concerted transfer of electrons and protons--electron-proton transfer (EPT)--is an important mechanism utilized in chemistry and biology to avoid high energy intermediates. There are many examples of thermally activated EPT in ground-state reactions and in excited states following photoexcitation and thermal relaxation. Here we report application of ultrafast excitation with a...

Extensive sampling for aquatic insects was conducted in the orders Ephemeroptera (mayflies), Plecoptera (stoneflies), and Trichoptera (caddisflies) (EPT) of Isle Royale National Park (ISRO), Michigan, United States of America, during summer 2013. The island was ice covered until 8,000 to 10,000 years ago and is isolated by 22-70 km distance from the mainland. Two hypotheses were examined: that ...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of the different fragmentation patterns for the lens nucleus in terms of the effective phacoemulsification time (EPT) and power. SETTING Shinagawa LASIK Center, Tokyo, Japan. DESIGN Comparison study. METHODS Seventy-one eyes of 71 patients had preoperative lens opacity grading based on the Emery-Little Classification (Grade 1 and Grade 2). Eyes underwent fe...

INTRODUCTION Lack of access to empirically-supported psychological treatments (EPT) that are contextually appropriate and feasible to deliver by non-specialist health workers (referred to as 'counsellors') are major barrier for the treatment of mental health problems in resource poor countries. To address this barrier, the 'Program for Effective Mental Health Interventions in Under-resourced He...

Let T = (V(T), E(T)) be a tree and B = {Pi} denote a collection of non-trivial (i.e., of length at least 1) simple paths in T, where a path P= (v,, u2, . . . , Q) is considered in the sequel as the collection {{uJ, {Q}, . . . ,{z)J, {u,, u2}, {u2, I+}, _ . . , {w,-,, Q}}. The intersection graph 0(S, 9) of 9 over set S has vertices which correspond to the paths in 9 and two vertices uk and U! ar...
