We consider ancestry labeling schemes: Given a rooted tree T , assign a binary string (label) to each node, such that given the labels of any two nodes, one can determine whether the first is an ancestor of the second in T . Recently, Fraigniaud and Korman [STOC’10] showed that such labels can be assigned using log n+O(log log n) bits per label, solving a long standing open question and matchin...

There is possibility of microbial contamination of any single-dose vials (SDVs), multiple-dose vials (MDVs) and admixtures (ADXs) during the preparation and injection to the patients that could be resulted in bloodstream infection. The goal of this study was to investigate the microbial contamination of MDVs and SDVs after multiple use and ADXs prepared by nursing staff in the treatment room ve...

Different alley flooring systems have been found to influence claw health and locomotion among dairy cows in cubicle barns. The ability to keep the alley floors clean and dry is part of this. It is, however, challenging to keep the alleys clean at all time. Different cleaning regimes are used, and barns are equipped with a diversity of scrapers and alley surfaces. Scrapers are earlier found to ...

Most listeners have difficulty understanding speech in reverberant conditions. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether it is possible to reduce the degree of degradation of speech intelligibility in reverberation through the development of an algorithm. The modulation spectrum is the spectral representation of the temporal envelope of the speech signal. That of clean speech is domin...

One-loop off-shell contributions to the three-gluon vertex are calculated, in arbitrary covariant gauge and in arbitrary space-time dimension, including quark-loop contributions (with massless quarks). It is shown how one can get the results for all on-shell limits of interest directly from the general off-shell expression. The corresponding general expressions for the one-loop ghost-gluon vert...
