In their seminal paper of 1981, Knuth and Plass described how to apply the method of discrete dynamic programming to the problem of breaking a paragraph into lines. This paper outlines how the same method can be applied to the problem of page make up, or in other words breaking paragraphs into pages. One of the key ideas is that there must be interaction between the line breaking and page break...

My research addresses the need for an efficient, effective and interactive access into large-scale image collections. In many cases the data of different modalities are interrelated , as for example photos and annotations in photo-sharing repositories , pictures and captions in news web-sites or x-ray scans and reports in medical databases, and I am investigating retrieval approaches that are c...

A certain systolic assistance in Demand Dynamic Cardiomyoplasty (DDCMP) has been suggested. We here evaluate relations between muscular properties of Latissimus Dorsi wrap (LDW) and systolic function using the doppler flow wire combined with LDW mechanogram. On the basis of previous study, we divided the patients in two groups on the time between intervention and start of demand protocol (group...

This paper investigates the problem of finding the optimal sizes of private caches and a shared LLC in CMPs. Resizing private and shared caches in modern CMPs is one way to squeeze wasteful power consumption out of architectures to improve power efficiency. However, shrinking each private/shared cache has different impact on the performance loss and the power savings to the CMPs because each ca...

Limited systolic assistance by Latissimus Dorsi (LD) weak power due to excessive slow speed of shortening has been considered a problem of Dynamic CardioMyoPlasty (DyCMP) after its creation by Carpentier and Chachques. To improve systolic assistance, and to reduce potential muscular damage, we introduced the concept of activity-rest stimulation, to deliver fewer impulses per day than with the c...

Horava-Witten M-Theory offers new ways in achieving the quark and lepton mass hierarchies not naturally available in supergravity unified models. In previous work, based on a torus fibered Calabi-Yau manifold with a del Pezzo base dP 7 ,a three generation SU(5)model with Wilson line breaking to the Standard Model was constructed. It was seen that if the additional 5-branes clustered near the di...

The Standard Model data suggests that the quantum gravity vacuum should accommodate two pivotal ingredients. The existence of three chiral generations and their embedding in chiral 16 SO(10) representations. The Z2 × Z2 orbifolds are examples of perturbative heterotic string vacua that yield these properties. The exploration of these models in the nonperturbative framework of M–theory is discus...

PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy and stability of the wrap-clipping methods as a reconstructive strategy in the treatment of unclippable cerebral aneurysms. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty four patients who had undergone wrap-clipping microsurgery were retrospectively reviewed. Type and morphology of the treated aneurysm, utilized technique for wrap-clip procedure, and clinical outcome with angi...
