Broadcasting is an important collective communication operation in many applications which use parallel computing. In this paper, we focus on designing broadcasting algorithms for general incomplete star graphs. We propose two optimal one-to-all broadcasting algorithms for incomplete star graphs with a single-port communication model. An incomplete star graph with N nodes, where (n 1)! < N < n!...

the aim of this research was to investigate the efficiency of ldpe films incorporating fifferent nanofillers in extending orange juice shelf life. fresh orange juice packed in different films was assessed for microbial stability, ascorbic acid content, ph, color parameters and sensory quality during 0, 7, 28 and 58 d of storage. mold and yeast growth, acidophil and aerobic mesophil bacteria pop...

starch is found in abundance in nature and it is one of the raw materials used for food packaging because of the low price, biodegradability, good mechanical and barrier properties. the recycling ability of coating materials was significantly increased by using edible films and coating in comparison to traditional packaging and it could be an alternative for synthetic films. in this research, t...

Zinc Sulfide (ZnS) thin films were deposited on glass substrates at the pressure of 10-6 mbar by thermal resistor evaporation technique. The effects of annealing on the structural, optical properties of ZnS films were studied. Crystalline ZnS films have been analyzed by X-ray diffraction. Only cubic phase with the preferred (111) plane was found in ZnS films. Optical characteristics were studie...

BACKGROUND Guatemala, as a party to the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), is required to regulate cigarette packaging and labeling and eliminate illicit tobacco trade. Current packaging and labeling characteristics (of legal and illegal cigarettes) and their compliance with the FCTC is unknown. METHODS We sought to analyze package and label characteristics of illegal and legal c...
