The reconfiguration problem on VLSI/WSI processor arrays in the presence of faulty processors can be stated as the following integral multi-source routing problem [16]: Given a set of N nodes (faulty processors or sources) in an m x n rectangular grid where m, n < N, the problem to be solved is to connect the N nodes to distinct nodes at the grid boundary using a set of “disjoint” paths. This p...

In this paper, we propose an end-to-end route optimization scheme for nested mobile networks, which we refer to as Recursive Binding Update plus (RBU+). A nested mobile network is a hierarchical form of mobile networks. Nested mobile networks suffer from a pinball routing problem with hierarchical mobile routers. This problem becomes more serious in the case of macro mobility, as the routing di...

-Stoichiometric reactions of metal hydroxycarbonates with the acid trans-l,2cyclohexanediaminotetraacetic acid (H4CDTA) in water under reduced pressure yielded [Cu(H2CDTA)]'H20 (I) and [Ni(H2CDTA)(H20)]'4H20 (II). Both compounds were characterized by TG-DTA analysis, spectral properties (IR, reflectance and RSE) and Xray diffraction. In I the copper(II) atom exhibits a distorted square-base coo...

This research is on presenting a new approach for cardiac arrhythmia disease classification. The proposed method uses Modular neural network (MNN) model to classify arrhythmia into normal and abnormal classes. We have performed experiments on UCI Arrhythmia data set [8]. Missing attribute values of this data set are replaced by closest column value of the concern class. We have constructed neur...

dinosaurs rose to predominance among vertebrate herbivores, in terms of both species diversity and biomass (e.g., Romer 1966; McIntosh 1990). Their perceived decline on northern landmasses during the Cretaceous has been linked to the evolution of tooth batteries in ornithischian herbivores (e.g., Lull and Wright 1942; Ostrom 1961; Bakker 1978; Lucas and Hunt 1989). On southern landmasses, in co...

A grey wolf optimizer for modular neural network (MNN) with a granular approach is proposed. The proposed method performs optimal granulation of data and design of modular neural networks architectures to perform human recognition, and to prove its effectiveness benchmark databases of ear, iris, and face biometric measures are used to perform tests and comparisons against other works. The desig...

In voice-activated teleservices, two types of speech recognition systems are commonly used, (tri)phone-based and wholeword model recognizers. While the first type of systems exhibits a convenient implementation to recognize any new vocabulary word, the second achieves a higher performance level when the necessary and specific training data is available. In order to bridge the performance gap be...

In the title compound, (C(8)H(20)N)[Mn(C(22)H(18)N(2)O(4))(H(2)O)(2)][Fe(CN)(6)]·2CH(3)OH·2C(2)H(5)OH or [NEt(4)][Mn(3-Meosalophen)(H(2)O)(2)](2)[Fe(CN)(6)]·2CH(3)OH·2C(2)H(5)OH, the asymmetric unit consists of one half of an [NEt(4)](+) cation disordered around a twofold axis, the [Mn(3-Meosalophen)(H(2)O)(2)](+) coordination cation, one half of a C(2) symmetric [Fe(CN)(6)](3-) anion and disor...

BACKGROUND Recently, we found that a 30-mer peptide derived from apoprotein E (apoE) 133-162 has antibiotic activity that is comparable with the classic antibiotics and neutrophil-derived antibiotic peptide. In this study, we tested if apoE 133-162 also has anti-tumor activity against several cancer cell lines. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two gastric cancer cell lines (MKN-7, MNN-1), two pancreatic...

OBJECTIVE Comparative algorithmic evaluation of heartbeat series in low-to-high risk cardiac patients for the prospective prediction of risk of arrhythmic death (AD). BACKGROUND Heartbeat variation reflects cardiac autonomic function and risk of AD. Indices based on linear stochastic models are independent risk factors for AD in post-myocardial infarction (post-MI) cohorts. Indices based on n...
