There could be different procedure variants of chip removal by the applied kinematic relations in turning operations. Recently, some research and analysis of these variants have come to the front since turning can replace grinding in precision machining operations due to the development of tools w...

the main objective of this study was to evaluate the response of consumers to changes in income and prices of chicken meat in the short run and long run. in order to achieve this goal, vector auto regression (var) and vector error correction model (vecm) have been applied to data since 1974 to 2007. impulse response function (irf) calculation indicated that past and present consumption of chick...

Next-generation sequencing has become an essential tool in molecular biology that has been successfully applied to a broad variety of experimental approaches. While several platforms for next-generation sequencing exist, the most commonly used approach is sequencing-by-synthesis, implemented on Illumina's Genome Analyzer II (GAII) and HiSeq2000 systems. A key constraint of these sequencers is t...

Run-time analysis is a type of empirical tool that studies the time consumed by running an algorithm. This type of analysis has been successfully used in some Artificial Intelligence (AI) fields, in paticular in Metaheuristics. This paper is an attempt to bring this tool to the path-planning community. To this end the paper reports a run-time analysis of some AI classical algorithms applied to ...

Process mining has been around for more than a decade now, and in that period several discovery and replay algorithms have been introduced that work fairly well on averagesized event logs. Nevertheless, these algorithms have problems dealing with big event logs. If the algorithms do not run out of memory, they will run out of time, because the problem handed to them is just too complex to be so...

This study has profiled the application Code Saturne, which is part of the PRACE benchmark suite. The profiling has been carried out with the tools HPCtookit and Tuning and Analysis Utilities (TAU) with the target of finding compute kernels suitable for autotuning. Autotuning is regarded as a necessary step in achieving sustainable performance at an Exascale level as Exascale systems most likel...

Energy Consumption is a key constraint in modern computing era. The consumption of energy should be ascertainable not only to Gate Level or Register Transfer (RT) Level but also to the System Level. There is a trade-off between energy consumption and run-time. Researchers are working on low power consumption techniques without degrading performance of the system. The computing science developer...

The study attempts to find out the impact of buyback announcement on share price. Paired sample T-test is employed to compare share price before and after the buyback announcement. The analysis of variance is also used to find out whether there is any significant difference among industries in the price change due to buyback announcement. The study is carried out from 1st January 2005 to 31st D...
