Variable fixing is an important technique when solving combinatorial optimization problems. Unique profitable variable values are detected with respect to the objective function and to the constraint structure of the problem. Relying on that specific structure, effective variable fixing algorithms (VFAs) are only suited for the problems they have been designed for. Frequently, new combinatorial...

After material has been produced for use as an antigen in a complement fixation test it is necessary to find out if the finished product has any complement-fixing ability in the presence of a serum containing a suitable antibody. Moreover, the proposed antigen must not have any undue anticomplementary property, and the " gap" between its anticomplementary titre and its complement fixing titre m...

In this work, we consider the GPU implementation of the steepest descent method with Fourier acceleration for Laudau gauge fixing, using CUDA. The performance of the code in a Tesla C2070 GPU is compared with a parallel CPU implementation.

Considering the influence of fixing method component in system on its results ultrasonic infrared thermography testing, detection experiments cracked plat structure with at one end and two ends are carried out through different methods equivalent structure. The show that for same to be detected, more bounds fixed, degrees freedom restricted, less energy is dissipated during inspection process, ...

Microorganisms decompose herbicides and they may serve as bioindicators of soil changes following herbicide application. Certain microbial species may be used as bioherbicides. This study has shown that Azotobacter is most sensitive to herbicide application; it is, therefore, a reliable indicator of the biological value of soil. The numbers of this group of nitrogen-fixing bacteria decrease con...

Blue Green Algae (BGA) have the capacity to self generate photosynthates from CO and 2 water. It is gratifying to note that Aulosira is the most important alga of the rice fields of India. Algalization has been found to benefit all the growth parameters. The propagation of BGA enriches the N status of soil and also provides organic matter and biological quotient 2 substances for plant growth. T...

In this paper, we present an implicit finite difference method for the numerical solution of Black–Scholes model American put options without dividend payments. We combine proposed by using a front-fixing approach where option price and early exercise boundary are computed simultaneously. study consistency prove stability fixing values free its first derivative. improve accuracy via mesh refine...
