An s-workspace algorithm is an algorithm that has read-only access to the values of the input, write-only access to the output, and only uses O(s) additional words of space. We present a randomized s-workspace algorithm for triangulating a simple polygon P of n vertices that runs in O(n/s+ n logn log(n/s)) expected time using O(s) variables, for any s ≤ n. In particular, when s ≤ n logn log5 lo...

the effect of anti-follicular stimulating hormone (fsh) on testicular lipid and the specific activity of testicular enzymes of the isocitrate dehydrogenase (icdh), pyruvate/malate dehydrogenase (mdh) and malic enzyme involved in lipogenesis were studied in mature bonnet monkeys, macaca radiata. immunization of monkey with anti-fsh for 24 days did not produce any significant changes in the body ...

introduction: cholinergic systems are involved in learning and memory. scopolamine, a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist, is used as a standard/ reference drug for inducing cognitive deficits in healthy humans and animals. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of scopolamine on avoidance memory and number of neurons in rat’s hippocampus. . methods: thirty five male alb...

background: it has been reported that epilepsy is a disorder of the central nervous system that causes memory impairment. this study examines the role of the aqueous extract of boswellia on the learning disability of the pentylenetetrazol (ptz)‑induced kindled rats. methods: in this experimental study, 64 male rats were used. kindling seizures were induced by three injections of 25 mg/kg of ptz...

in this paper, the electrochemical behaviour of passive films formed on aisi 321 stainless steel (aisi 321)immersed in 0.1 m naoh + 0.1 m koh solution was evaluated by different electrochemical techniques. forthis purpose, passive films were formed at open circuit potential for 1 to 12 hours and then electrochemicalmeasurements were done. the polarization curves suggested that aisi 321 showed e...

Active turbulent advection is considered in the context of magnetohydrodynamics. In this case, an auxiliary passive field bears no apparent connection to the active field. The scaling properties of the two fields are different. In the framework of a shell model, we show that the two-point structure function of the passive field has a unique zero mode, characterizing the scaling of this field on...

This paper presents a novel quadrature sinusoidal oscillator using second-generation current conveyor transconductance amplifier as an active building block. The proposed circuit employs only a single second-generation current conveyor transconductance amplifier, four passive components. The proposed circuit offers the advantages of independent control of the condition of oscillation and freque...

At STOC ’87, Goldreich et al. presented two protocols for secure multi-party computation (MPC) among n parties: The first protocol provides passive security against t < n corrupted parties. The second protocol provides even active security, but only against t < n/2 corrupted parties. Although these protocols provide security against the provably highest possible number of corruptions, each of t...

We give a simple and intuitive proof that the only states which are completely passive, i.e. those states from which work cannot be extracted even with infinitely many copies, are Gibbs states at positive temperatures. The proof makes use of the idea of virtual temperatures, i.e. the association of temperatures to transitions. We show that (i) passive states are those where every transition is ...
