Series of measurements should be planned carefully in order to reduce the costs and to allow an efficient execution at measuring devices. For this planning process, we present a multi-step optimization method using genetic algorithms. As a concrete application, we arrange a set of Design of Experiment measuring points appearing during the calibration of combustion engines in an optimal way. Key...

How do I enrol? You must first arrange a supervisor and a project. Once you have reached an agreement with your supervisor, please complete a Special Permission form (available from the Student Support Office in Physics). This must be signed by the Senior Physics Coordinator (Tim Bedding, Room 558, [email protected]) and then taken to the Science Faculty Office (Carslaw) to allow you ...

In this paper, we formulate and investigate the following problem: given integers d, k and r where k > r ≥ 1, d ≥ 2, and a prime power q, arrange d hyperplanes on Fq to maximize the number of r-dimensional subspaces of Fq each of which belongs to at least one of the hyperplanes. The problem is motivated by the need to give tighter bounds for an error-tolerant pooling design based on finite vect...

There have been reported1) over 40 kinds of positioning technique in taking the radiogram of the optic canal. It seems to us, however, some of them are too complicated, while others are inconvenient for the practice. For the purpose of taking it more accurately and conveniently, we deviced the following position ing technique. 1). Arrange the X-ray tube and the film so that the central X-ray falls

Every mature T cell specifically recognizes a particular combination of self-MHC molecule bound to a foreign peptide antigen. However, newborn T cells do not start out with the ability to recognize these complexes. During development, T cells re arrange their T cell receptor (TCR) genes, thus generating a diverse repertoire that includes those that do not recognize self-MHC. Only those that bin...

We report the construction of a linkage map of the human genome, based on the pattern of inheritance of 403 polymorphic loci, including 393 RFLPs, in a panel of DNAs from 21 three-generation families. By a combination of mathematical linkage analysis and physical localization of selected clones, it was possible to arrange these loci into linkage groups representing 23 human chromosomes. We esti...

We investigate the performance of an algorithm to detect selfcollisions in a tubular object approximated by spheres. The approach utilizes the Bounding Volume Hierarchy (BVH) to arrange the spheres and it was implemented using sequential and parallel algorithms. The tubular object has a snake-like motion, and the algorithm calculates the closer pairs of spheres considering the hierarchy and the...

Background: Human decision-making involves a complex interplay of intra- and inter-personal factors. The decisions clinicians make in practise are subject to wide range influences. Admission psychiatric hospital is major clinical intervention, but the processes involved admissions remain unclear. Aims: To delineate factors influencing clinicians' arrange acute admissions. Methods: We undertook ...

The Overlay routing has been anticipated in recent years as a successful way to accomplish convinced routing properties, exclusive of going into the elongated and monotonous process of regularity and global deployment of a routing protocol. This gives ascend to the optimization, reliability, fault tolerant and high distributed problem which we overcome in this work we are using distributed and ...

OBJECTIVE To analyse barriers and facilitators in substituting hospital care with primary care to define preconditions for successful implementation. METHODS A descriptive feasibility study was performed to collect information on the feasibility of substituting hospital care with primary care. General practitioners were able to refer patients, about whom they had doubts regarding diagnosis, t...
