We consider the problem of computing the best swap edges of a shortest-path tree Tr rooted in r. That is, given a single link failure: if the path is not affected by the failed link, then the message will be delivered through that path; otherwise, we want to guarantee that, when the message reaches the edge (u, v) where the failure has occurred, the message will then be re-routed using the comp...

در این پژوهش سعی می‌­شود مدلی برای شبیه‌­سازی چرخه عمر صنعت برق با استفاده از شبیه‌سازی عامل­بنیان ارائه شود، مدل، 5 عامل استخراج شد و شبیه­‌سازی به کمک نرم‌افزار Anylogic صورت پذیرفت. بهینه‌­سازی مدل چهار سناریو نظر خبرگان شد. سناریوی نخست، جذابیت نیروگاه گازی سیکل ترکیبی کاهش یافت بر دو دیگر افزوده نتیجه افزایش تولید آبی است که توجه کمبود منابع کشور به‌صرفه نیست. دوم ورود یک فناوری جدید میزان...

OBJECTIVE To compare progression in short-wavelength automated perimetry (SWAP) and white-on-white (standard) perimetry in eyes with progressive glaucomatous changes of the optic disc detected by serial stereophotographs. METHODS Forty-seven glaucoma patients with at least 2 disc stereophotographs more than 2 years apart, along with standard perimetry and SWAP examinations within 6 months of ...

OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to identify a biomarker for multiple sclerosis (MS) that can be used as a predictor of relapse and disability. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sera of 26 consecutive relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) patients were screened for switch-associated protein 70 (SWAP-70) antibody, which was previously identified by protein macroarray. The serum levels of several cytokines, chem...

This paper analyzes the pricing of defaultable securities in rating based models where the default of more than one agent is involved. We extend the model of Duffie and Huang (1996) to a framework which explicitly takes into account the rating of each party. Although our method is by no means restricted to swap contracts we will use as our illustrative example a plain vanilla interest rate swap...

The consensus number of a synchronization primitive, such as compare-and-swap or fetch-and-add, is the maximum number of processes n among which binary consensus can be solved by using read-write registers and registers supporting the synchronization primitive. As per Herlihy’s seminal result, any synchronization primitive with consensus number n can be used to construct a wait-free and lineari...

SWAP-70, an unusual phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase-dependent protein that interacts with the RhoGTPase Rac, is highly expressed in mast cells. Cultured bone marrow mast cells (BMMC) from SWAP-70(-/-) mice are reduced in FcepsilonRI-triggered degranulation. This report describes the hitherto-unknown role of SWAP-70 in c-kit receptor signaling, a key proliferation and differentiation pathway in ma...

In this paper we are concerned with the distributional difference of forward swap rates between the lognormal forward–Libor model (LFM) or “Libor market model” and the lognormal forward-swap model (LSM) or “swap market model”, the two fundamental models for interest-rate derivatives. To measure this distributional difference, we resort to a “metric” in the space of distributions, the well known...
