Multimedia applications, such as videoconferences, require an efficient management of the Quality of Service (QoS) and consist of a great number of participants which requires the use of multicast routing protocol. Unlike unicast protocol, multicast protocol handles a great number of users while minimizing both network overhead and bandwidth consumption. However, combining multicast routing and...

in this paper, we discuss the geometric properties of solution and lower bound estimate of ∆um−1 of the cauchy problem for a degenerate parabolic equation with periodic source term ut =∆um+ upsint. our objective is to show that: (1)with continuous variation of time t, the surface ϕ = [u(x,t)]mδq is a complete riemannian manifold floating in space rn+1and is tangent to the space rn at ∂h0(t); (2...

a characteriation of continuity of the $p$-$lambda$-variation function is given and the helly's selection principle for $lambda bv^{(p)}$ functions is established. a characterization of the inclusion of waterman-shiba classes into classes of functions with given integral modulus of continuity is given. a useful estimate on modulus of variation of functions of class $lambda bv^{(p)}$ is found.

In a recent paper (Tye 2006), Michael Tye offers a solution to the problem of standard variation. I will argue for two claims. First, the problem of standard variation for the theory of colour and colour experience defended by Byrne and Hilbert (2003), Dretske (1995), Lycan (1996), Tye (2000) reduces to a problem about sensory representation. Thus, this is where the debate should focus. Second,...

Reconstructing images from ill-posed inverse problems often utilizes total variation regularization in order to recover discontinuities in the data while also removing noise and other artifacts. Total variation regularization has been successful in recovering images for (noisy) Abel transformed data, where object boundaries and data support will lead to sharp edges in the reconstructed image. I...

Nanoscale crossbar architectures have received steadily growing interests as a result of their great potential to be main building blocks in nanoelectronic circuits. However, due to the extremely small size of nanodevices and the bottom-up self-assembly nanofabrication process, considerable process variation will be an inherent vice for crossbar nanoarchitectures. In this paper, the variation t...

High utility itemset mining (HUIM) is a new emerging field in data mining which has gained growing interest due to its various applications. The goal of this problem is to discover all itemsets whose utility exceeds minimum threshold. The basic HUIM problem does not consider length of itemsets in its utility measurement and utility values tend to become higher for itemsets containing more items...

staphylococcus aureus carrying pvl gene remain major health problem associated with highly virulent infections. characterization of such gene is important to know the impact and the functional significance of nucleotide variations. pcr and standard sequencing were performed for twelve sudanese strains from different sources. protein structures prediction, modeling and physiochemical analysis we...
