We address the following problem: Given a simple polygon $P$ with $n$ vertices and two points $s$ and $t$ inside it, find a minimum link path between them such that a given target point $q$ is visible from at least one point on the path. The method is based on partitioning a portion of $P$ into a number of faces of equal link distance from a source point. This partitioning is essentially a shor...

The partitioning of lysozyme and extraction yield in an aqueous two-phase system containing Poly Vinyl Pyrrolidone (PVP) K25 and potassium phosphate were investigated as a function of weight percent of salt and PVP in the feed, temperature, and pH. To investigate partitioning behavior, the central composite design was considered using a quadratic model. According to the results of the model...

ATP leads to endothelial NO synthase (eNOS)/NO-mediated vasodilation, a process hypothesized to depend on the endothelial caveolar eNOS partitioning and subcellular domain-specific multisite phosphorylation state. We demonstrate herein that, in both the absence and presence of ATP, the uterine artery endothelial caveolae contain specific protein machinery related to subcellular partitioning and...

In this paper, we consider the problem of fixed-priority partitioned scheduling of sporadic real-time tasks for homogeneous processors. We propose a partitioning heuristic that takes into account possible Worst Case Execution Time (WCET) overruns. Our goal is to maximize the duration a task can be allowed to exceed its WCET without compromising the timeliness constraints of all the tasks. This ...

Fast measurements of aerosol and gas-phase constituents coupled with the ISORROPIA-II thermodynamic equilibrium model are used to study the partitioning of semivolatile inorganic species and phase state of Mexico City aerosol sampled at the T1 site during the MILAGRO 2006 campaign. Overall, predicted semivolatile partitioning agrees well with measurements. PM2.5 is insensitive to changes in amm...

Objective The main purpose of this article is to choose the best predictive model for IVF/ICSI classification and to calculate the probability of IVF/ICSI success for each couple using Artificial intelligence. Also, we aimed to find the most effective factors for prediction of ART success in infertile couples. MaterialsAndMethods In this cross-sectional study, the data of 486 patients are colle...

a field study was conducted to evaluate the agronomic response of eight isolines of cv. clark on a clay loam soil (at karaj-iran, 35048´) to four plant population densities of 11.3, 18.5, 68.5, and 103.4 plants per square metre. significant yield increase was obtained as a result of higher plant density. differences among the cv. clark isolines were significant (p

partitioning of photoassimilates between the sinks is one of the most important physiological processes related to the yield of crops which are affected by drought stress. therefore, the effect of drought stress in flowering and grain filling stages, on the percentage partitioning of photoassimilates among different organs was studied in 14 rapeseed cultivars in a split plot experiment based on...

In reconfigurable computing systems, are evolving rapidly, due to their flexibility and high performance. In this paper, we focus on communication cost between partitions in order to develop an algorithm to solve temporal partitioning problems for reconfigurable architecture. In fact, this algorithm optimizes the transfer of data required between design partitions. The proposed algorithm was te...
