Parallel computers, such as multiprocessors system-on-chip (Mp-SoCs), multicomputers and cluster computers, are consisting of hundreds or thousands multiple processing units and components (such as routers, channels and connectors) connected via some interconnection network that collectively may undergo high failure rates. Therefore, these systems are required to be equipped with fault-tolerant...

ABSTRACT Soils are highly variable across landscapes, which can be assessed and characterized according to scale, as well fractal multifractal concepts of scale. Thus, the objective this study was analyze multifractality penetration resistance (PR) vertical profiles from different slope forms (concave convex). The experimental plot incorporated 44.75 ha, PR measured at 70 sampling points in 0-0...

In this work, the WAD Characteristics were improved by forming a concave‐convex scattering structure on organic planarization layer of large size AMOLED backplane TFT. By using slit mask scanner as VIA photosensitive poly‐imide film, semi‐transmissive area and contact hole made simultaneously without adding separate photo process to form structure. On top that, ITO/Ag/ITO anode pixel, EL cathod...

In this paper the problem of minimum cost communication network design is considered where the costs are piecewise linear concave. Several methods are compared: Simulated Annealing method, a heuristic based on the method proposed by Minoux, and a lagrangian method based on lower bounding procedure.

In this article we consider the continuity properties of the partial Legendre-Fenchel transform which associates, with a bivariate convex function F: X x Y --t R U {+m}, its partial conjugate L : x x Y * + R, i.e. L(z , y* ) = inf y E Y { F ( z , y ) (Y* I Y)}. Follwiing [3] where this tranformation has been proved to be bicontinuous when convex functioiis F are equipped with the Mosco-epi-conv...

Purpose: Scoliosis is one of the most common spinal deformities that affect chest wall mechanics. Scoliosis results in ventilator disorders and respiratory muscle weakness. However, the mechanism of these disorders is still unknown. The main objective of this study was to identify the intensity of respiratory muscles activity in patients with idiopathic scoliosis compare with healthy indi...
