We present explicit formulae for the eccentric connectivity index and Wiener index of 2-dimensional square and comb lattices with open ends. The formulae for these indices of 2-dimensional square lattices with ends closed at themselves are also derived. The index for closed ends case divided by the same index for open ends case in the limit N →&infin defines a novel quantity we call compression...

A methodology is presented to enable the usage of a digital tester for an accurate detection of open circuits as well as short circuits in test structures to control backend process steps. Therefore, a novel graph model will be introduced to calculate the resistance values of test structures containing defects. The paper gives a comprehensive description of the procedure to adjust the tester pa...

o p p f r 2 w i t t t recent report from the Institute of Medicine documents idespread racial disparities in medical treatment and ealth outcomes. Such disparities are particularly apparent mong patients with cancer. For many types of cancer, lack Americans have markedly higher cancer-specific ortality rates than members of other racial and ethnic roups—more than 2-fold higher in some instances...

ver the last 25 years, there has been enormous progress in nderstanding the pathogenesis of acute coronary synromes (ACS) and the pathobiology of atherosclerosis and therothrombosis. Nonocclusive, mural, or occlusive intraoronary thrombus (ICT) has been established as the cause f nearly all acute myocardial infarctions (AMIs), a majority f non–ST-segment elevation ACS, and a large proportion f ...

Objectives: Specific language impaired children, despite being normal in cognitive and neurological characteristics, and also normal levels of hearing, experience multiple problems in syntax comprehension. This study compared the passive comprehension as one of Syntactic Structures in Persian-speaking typically developing children and Specific language impaired children. Methods: 10 children w...

Interactive Information Extraction brings together search and information extraction to provide fast, interactive text mining over large volumes of text such as Medline abstracts, full text scientific articles, patents etc. As well as covering the two ends of the spectrum: keyword search over documents, and detailed linguistic patterns within sentences, the Interactive Information Extraction Sy...

Paragraphs are composed of sentences. Hence when a paragraph begins, a sentence must begin, and as a paragraph closes, some sentence must finish. This observation is the basis of the sentence boundary detection method proposed by Riley (1989). Similarly, sentences consist of words. As a sentence begins or ends there must be word boundaries. Inspired by this notion, we invent a method to learn a...

An analysis of word duration in English sentences uttered by native speakers of Japanese is made, in which the difference in prosodic patterns between the English and Japanese languages is taken into account. The durations of Japanese speakers are compared with those of English speakers in regard to a percentage distribution of an individual word relative to all words in a sentence. The results...
