structural studies of literary works, which seek to examine the inner textual elements and to discover their connections, provide the grounds for better understanding the essence of literature and by presenting the devices of creating excellent literature can help us to expand the patterns of processing a literary work. a number of structural critics have dealt with the narrative forms by study...

In the field of music system programming, the T-calculus is a proposal for combining space modeling and time programming into a single programming feature: spatiotemporal tiled programming. Based on a solid algebraic model, it aims at decomposing every operation on musical objects into the sequence of a synchronization operation that describes how objects are positioned one with respect the oth...

children who are operated for biliary atresia by the kasai procedure have approximately 30% chance of survival for 5 years. in an attempt to define the role of this operation for biliary atresia, the surgery records of the past 15 years were reviewed. the aim of this study was to assess the benefits achieved from this operation in infants with biliary atresia. this study was conducted in the de...

We show that in the case when the set of vector pairs that occur at the input of a combinational network in the system environment is restricted (as it is for most applications), the information on such restrictions should be accounted for when evaluating the quality of testing delay faults, especially if the test sequence “mimics” the normal operation, i.e. if only those vector pairs that may ...

The correlation between a random sequence and its transformed sequences is studied. In the case of a permutation operation or, in other word, the shuffling operation, it is shown that the correlation can be so small that the sequences can be regarded as independent random sequences. The applications to the Monte Carlo simulations are also given. This method is especially useful in the Ising Mon...

In the job shop scheduling problem (JSP), a set of N jobs = {J1, J2, . . . , JN} is to be processed on a set of m machines M = {1, 2, . . . ,m}. Each job requires a sequence of operations that must be accomplished according to its manufacturing process Ji = {Oi1, Oi2, . . . , Oim}. Operation Oij requires a processing time of pij time units on machine Mij ∈ M . Each machine can perform at most o...

The fuzzy particle swarm optimization (FPSO-RRB- algorithm is used to solve the logistics transportation time problem, a three-dimensional coding method based on receiving point, position sequence and rounding operation proposed, results are compared with those of algorithm. experimental show that can effectively optimize time.

Facial features’ localization is a crucial step for many systems of face detection and facial expression recognition. It plays an essential role in human face analysis especially in searching for facial features (mouth, nose and eyes) when the face region is included within the image. The fundamental technique used in facial analysis is to detect the face and subsequently the associated salient...
