Wenbo Zong STMicroelectronics Asia Pacific Singapore Large-scale wargame simulations may involve tens of thousands of entities and generally run on distributed simulation nodes. An important issue in constructing these applications is to reduce the amount of data transmitted among the distributed simulation nodes so that the network and the simulation nodes will not be flooded by the state upda...

In this paper, we present a full Newton step feasible interior-pointmethod for circular cone optimization by using Euclidean Jordanalgebra. The search direction is based on the Nesterov-Todd scalingscheme, and only full-Newton step is used at each iteration.Furthermore, we derive the iteration bound that coincides with thecurrently best known iteration bound for small-update methods.

one of the main causes of endodontic treatment failure is the clinician’s inability to localize all the root canals. due to the complex anatomy of the root canal system, missed canals are not uncommon. there are several strategies to decrease the possibility of missed root canals starting with good pre-operative radiographies. in order to overcome the limitations of conventional radiographies, ...
