The geodesic distance (path length) and effective resistance are both metrics defined on the vertices of a graph. The effective resistance is a more refined measure of connectivity than the geodesic distance. For example if there are k edge disjoint paths of geodesic distance d between two vertices, then the effective resistance is no more than d k . Thus, the more paths, the closer the vertice...

Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is a plant defense response in which an initial localized infection affords enhanced pathogen resistance to distant, uninfected leaves. SAR requires efficient long-distance signaling between the infected leaf, where SAR signals are generated, and the distant uninfected leaves that receive them. A growing body of evidence indicates that the lipid transfer prote...

This paper presents the design, simulation and implementation of an adaptive mho distance relay to compensate during a phase-to-phase fault with fault resistance using the KU method. The phaseto-phase fault with fault resistance occasionally produces a trajectory of impedance outside the zone of the distance relay protection. Therefore, in this case, the distance relay will not send the trip co...

Objective. The objective of this paper is to compare the impact of supervised walking and resistance training upon the walking distance in PAD patients. Materials and Methods. The examination involved 50 PAD patients at the 2nd stage of the disease according to Fontaine's scale. The participants were randomly allocated to two groups: one exercising on the treadmill (n = 24) and one performing r...
