OBJECTIVE Malalignment is associated with knee osteoarthritis (KOA), however, the optimal anatomic axis (AA) knee alignment measurement on a standard limb radiograph (SLR) is unknown. This study compares one-point (1P) and two-point (2P) AA methods using three knee joint centre locations and examines cross-sectional associations with symptomatic radiographic knee osteoarthritis (SRKOA), radiogr...

Two-photon excitation fluorescence resonance energy transfer (2P-FRET) imaging microscopy can provide details of specific protein molecule interactions inside living cells. Fluorophore molecules used for 2P-FRET imaging have characteristic absorption and emission spectra that introduce spectral cross-talk (bleed-through) in the FRET signal that should be removed in the 2P-FRET images, to establ...

In this article, we discuss a computation method for the linear complexity of generalized cyclotomic binary sequences of length 2p. This method allows to assess the linear complexity of above-mentioned sequences and to design the sequences with high linear complexity. Also we generalize known results about binary sequences of length 2p. In conclusion we evaluate the autocorrelation of generaliz...

We investigate properties of the formula p → 2p in the basic modal logic K. We show that K satisfies an infinitary weak variant of the rule of margins, which leads to a description of a complete set of unifiers of p → 2p. Using this information, we establish that K has nullary unification type. Moreover, we show that the formula p → 2p is admissibly saturated, but not exact.

Background K(2P) channels are tightly regulated by different stimuli including variations of external and internal pH. pH sensitivity relies on proton-sensing residues that influence channel gating and activity. Gene inactivation in the mouse is a revealing implication of K(2P) channels in many physiological functions ranging from hormone secretion to central respiratory adaptation. Surprisingl...

The molecular oxygen or dioxygen (O 2 ) molecule has 6 molecular orbitals (MO) in its triplet state, of which the two π 2p ∗ MO contain each one electron. Thus, O 2 has two unpaired electrons (indicated by a dot ); that is, O 2 is an uncharged diradical molecule: O–O. An electron that is donated by another molecule is incorporated in one of the two π 2p ∗ MO of the O 2 molecule; that is, one π ...

A graph is symmetric or arc-transitive if its automorphism group acts transitively on vertices, edges and arcs. Let p, q be odd primes with p, q ≥ 5 and X a q-valent symmetric graph of order 4p. In this paper, we proved that X K4p with 4p-1=q, X K2p,2p-2pK2 with 2p-1=q, the quotient graph of X is isomorphic to Kp,p and p=q, or K2p and 2p-1=q.

Let p be a prime. It was shown by Folkman (J. Combin. Theory 3 (1967) 215) that a regular edge-transitive graph of order 2p or 2p is necessarily vertex-transitive. In this paper an extension of his result in the case of cubic graphs is given. It is proved that, with the exception of the Gray graph on 54 vertices, every cubic edge-transitive graph of order 2p is vertex-transitive. c © 2003 Elsev...

We study the isometry groups of a family of complete p + 2curvature homogeneous pseudo-Riemannian metrics on R which have neutral signature (3 + 2p, 3 + 2p), and which are 0-curvature modeled on an indecomposible symmetric space.
