An open question in numerical analysis of multidimensional scalar conservation laws discretized on non-structured grids is the optimal rate of convergence. The main difficulty relies on a priori BV bounds which cannot be derived by opposition to the case of structured (cartesian) grids. In this paper we consider a related question for a corresponding continuous model, namely the vanishing visco...

MDS Matrix has an important role in the design of Rijndael Cipher and is the most expensive component of the cipher. It is also used as a perfect diffusion primitive in some other block ciphers. In this paper, we propose a replacement of Mix Column Transformation in AES by equivalent Dynamic Mix Column Transformation. A Dynamic Mix Column Transformation comprises dynamic MDS Matrices which are ...

objectives: myelodysplastic syndromes (mdss) include a diverse group of clonal bone marrow disorders characterized by ineffective hematopoiesis and pancytopenia. it was found that down regulation of apaf1 , a putative tumor suppressor gene, leads to resistance to chemotherapy and disease development in some cancers. in this study, we investigated the relation of apaf1 methylation status with it...

introduction: measurement of diabetes management effectiveness includes the process of care and its quality, health outcome and response to care before everything; it needs a conceptual framework about this universal disease. minimum data set (mds) of diabetes make this framework by using standard data element with unique definition and effectiveness indicators preparation of diabetes managemen...

conclusions adherence to the meddiet, according to mds and sofi-mds, may not predict mets components and mets incidence after 3 years of follow-up in iranian adult populations. results after adjusting for potential confounders, neither higher mds nor higher sofi-mds were significantly associated with the mean values of mets components and the risk of metabolic abnormalities incidence after 3 ye...

De nition. The reason for the title MDS is because of the tie with maximum distance separable codes. Indeed, a [n; k; d] linear code C is said to be maximum distance separable if it meets the Singleton Bound k n d + 1 at equality. This bound is simply proved by noting that in a code of distance d, any choice of n d+ 1 entries can determine at most one codeword of C, so in the case of equality, ...

We investigate iterative methods for solving consistent linear systems arising from the kinetic theory of gases and for providing multicomponent diffusion coefficients for gaseous mixtures. Various iterative schemes are proved to be convergent by using the properties of matrices with convergent powers and the properties of nonnegative matrices. In particular, we investigate StefanMaxwell diffus...

Wave propagation in composite structures with shunted piezoelectric patches is investigated in this work. The Wave Finite Element(WFE) approach is firstly developed as a prediction tool for wave propagation characteristics like dispersion curves in composite structures, and subsequently extended to consider shunted piezoelectric elements through the Diffusion Matrix Model(DMM). A three-layered ...

We present the construction of a family of erasure correcting codes for distributed storage systems that achieve low repair bandwidth and low repair complexity. The construction is based on two classes of codes, where the primary goal of the first class of codes is to achieve a good fault tolerance, while the second class of codes aims at reducing the repair bandwidth and the repair complexity....

Let E be a complete, separable metric space and A be an operator on Cb(E). We give an abstract definition of viscosity sub/supersolution of the resolvent equation λu − Au = h and show that, if the comparison principle holds, then the martingale problem for A has a unique solution. Our proofs work also under two alternative definitions of viscosity sub/supersolution which might be useful, in par...
