In the general aviation (GA) community, an automated aircraft is generally comprised of an integrated advanced avionics system consisting of a primary flight display (PFD), a multifunction display (MFD) including an instrumentcertified global positioning system (GPS) with traffic and terrain graphics, and a fully integrated autopilot. This type of aircraft is commonly known as an advanced avion...

Six endemic genera/sections of lobeliads (Campanulaceae) occupy nearly the full range of light regimes on moist sites in the Hawaiian Islands, from open alpine bogs and seacliffs to densely shaded rainforest interiors. To determine whether this clade has undergone a corresponding adaptive radiation in photosynthetic adaptations, we studied the natural light habitats and physiological characteri...

BACKGROUND Platelet function disorders (PFDs) have emerged as an important etiology of heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) in adolescents. However, neither clinical nor laboratory data have been methodically analyzed in this population subset. The objective of this study was to evaluate these parameters in order to distinguish characteristics of the disorder that in turn will lead to earlier diagnos...

The light-dependent kinetics of the apparent in vivo synthesis and degradation of 2-carboxyarabinitol 1-phosphate (CA1P) were studied in three species of higher plants which differ in the extent to which this compound is involved in the light-dependent regulation of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (Rubisco) activity. Detailed studies with Phaseolus vulgaris indicate that both the degradat...

It is well-known that all finite connected graphs have a unique prime factor decomposition (PFD) with respect to the strong graph product which can be computed in polynomial time. Essential for the PFD computation is the construction of the so-called Cartesian skeleton of the graphs under investigation. In this contribution, we show that every connected thin hypergraph H has a unique prime fact...

This work is concerned with the prime factor decomposition (PFD) of strong product graphs. A new quasi-linear time algorithm for the PFD with respect to the strong product for arbitrary, finite, connected, undirected graphs is derived. Moreover, since most graphs are prime although they can have a product-like structure, also known as approximate graph products, the practical application of the...

Both Sylvester matrix and convolution are defined by two polynomials. If one of them has small degree, then the associated Sylvester linear system can be solved fast by using its PFD interpretation of the convolution equation. This can immediately simplify the refinement of approximate convolution by means of Newton’s iteration, where we also incorporate the PFD refinement techniques or alterna...

Our objective was to assess knowledge of pelvic floor disorders (PFD) in reproductive- aged women. We administered an institutional review board-approved survey hospitalized postpartum patients 18 years and older. utilized the validated Prolapse Incontinence Knowledge Questionnaire (PIKQ), which assesses patient organ prolapse (POP) urinary incontinence (UI). Based on a graded score, were categ...
