A hyper-star graph HS(n, k) provides a promising topology for interconnection networks of parallel processing systems because it combines the merits of a hypercube and a star graph. In this study, we propose a fault-tolerant routing algorithm that establishes a fault-free path between any pair of non-faulty nodes in an HS(n, k) with faulty nodes by using limited global information called safety...

For the purpose of studying the spectral properties of energy transfer between large and small scales in high-Reynolds-number turbulence, we measure the longitudinal subgrid-scale (SGS) dissipation spectrum, defined as the co-spectrum of the SGS stress and filtered strain-rate tensors. An array of four closely spaced X-wire probes enables us to approximate a two-dimensional box filter by averag...

In this paper, a new application of the hyper-Rayleigh scattering technique in determining multiple binding constants of a small molecule like bilirubin to a macromolecule like the protein human serum albumin has been demonstrated. Human serum albumin has two binding sites for bilirubin, and the binding constants have been measured by carrying out a second harmonic titration of the protein agai...

We present a goal-oriented algorithm that can synthesise k-bounded Petri nets (k ∈ N+) from hyper modal transition systems (hMTS), an extension of labelled transition systems with optional and required behaviour. The algorithm builds a potential reachability graph of a Petri net from scratch, extending it stepwise with required behaviour from the given MTS and overapproximating the result to a ...

hyper ige syndrome (hies) is a rare primary immunodeficiency disease. most of hies cases are sporadic. hies type ad is caused by mutation in signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (stat-3). a number of mosaicism hies has been reported that is associated with intermediate phenotype. autosomal recessive hies (ar-hies) is due to mutation in dock-8 or cytokine sis 8 and tyk2 or tyrosine...

background: asthma is a multifactorial disease and its severity varies with the inflammatory grade. there are conflicting reports about the roles of trace elements in asthma. this study examined the effects of zinc (zn), copper (cu), and selenium (se) concentrations in sera of patients with allergic asthma attending ghaem hospital, mashhad, iran. methods: forty-nine patients, aged 10 to 50 year...

BACKGROUND The quantitative effect of strong electrolytes, unmeasured strong anions (UAs), pCO2, and plasma protein concentrations in determining plasma pH can be demonstrated using the physicochemical approach. Plasma anion gap (AG) and strong ion gap (SIG) are used to assess UAs in different species. HYPOTHESES Strong ions are a major factor influencing changes in plasma pH of hospitalized ...

We study the interplay between following types of special non-Kähler Hermitian metrics on compact complex manifolds (locally conformally Kähler, k-Gauduchon, balanced, and locally balanced) prove that a Kähler nilmanifold carrying balanced or left-invariant k-Gauduchon metric is necessarily torus. Combined with main result in [FV16], this leads to fact 2-step endowed whichever two metrics—balan...
