The number of processors embedded in high performance computing platforms is growing daily to solve larger and more complex problems. The logical network topologies must also support the high degree of scalability in dynamic environments. This paper presents a scalable and fault tolerant topology called binomial graph (BMG). BMG provides desirable topological properties in terms of both scalabi...

OWC systems have turned into a state-of-the-art technology because of their superior performance uniqueness and its innumerable characteristic as compared to RF. One the application is inter-satellite wireless optical communication (Is-WOC), this framework can be improved by using different ways such advanced modulation formats aperture diameter. We demonstrate an analysis based on diameter eff...

The present study compared differences in subjective and objective performance in completely-in-the-canal (CIC) hearing aids with conventional uniform 1.5 mm parallel vents and another with a reverse horn vent where the diameter increased from 1.5 mm on the lateral faceplate to 3 mm on the medial opening of the hearing aid. Nine hearing-impaired persons with a high-frequency hearing loss partic...

Adding Byzantine tolerance to large scale distributed systems is considered non-practical. The time, message and space requirements are very high. Recently, researches have investigated the broadcast problem in the presence of a f̀ -local Byzantine adversary. The local adversary cannot control more than f̀ neighbors of any given node. This paper proves sufficient conditions as to when the synchro...

Recently Elkin and Solomon gave a construction of spanners for doubling metrics that has constant maximum degree, hop-diameter O(log n) and lightness O(log n) (i.e., weight O(log n)·w(MST)). This resolves a long standing conjecture proposed by Arya et al. in a seminal STOC 1995 paper. However, Elkin and Solomon’s spanner construction is extremely complicated; we offer a simple alternative const...

To investigate the impact of Xuefu Zhuyu decoction on cardiac remodeling and quality life patients with heart failure middle-range coronary disease ejection fraction is main objective study. 116 in middle range were divided as observation or control group. Clinical efficacy both groups was observed changes traditional Chinese medicine symptom scores, function classification, exercise tolerance,...

Vacuum-based handling, used in many applications and industries, offers great flexibility fast handling processes. However, due to significant energy conversion losses from electrical the useable suction flow, vacuum-based is highly energy-inefficient. In preliminary work, we showed that our grasp optimization method potential save at least 50% of by a targeted placement individual cups on part...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to assess if the complex anatomy of aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection can be accurately reproduced from a contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan into a three-dimensional (3D) printed model. METHODS Contrast-enhanced cardiac CT scans from two patients were post-processed and produced as 3D printed thoracic aorta models of aortic aneurysm and ...
