The problem of optimally ordering the execution of independent disjuncts is explored. Only a single answer is sought, not necessarily the best one. By definition, this is called satisfying search. Since the disjuncts are independent, the total combined probability that a solution is found does not depend on the execution order. However, the ordering does affect the total expected execution time...

The many recent publications that focus upon watermarking with side information at the embedder emphasize the fact that this side information can be used to improve practical capacity. Many of the proposed algorithms use quantization to carry out the embedding process. Although both powerful and simple, recovering the original quantization levels, and hence the embedded data, can be difficult i...

細胞発生力顕微鏡は，細胞の明視野画像を得ることにより，その細胞が発生する力（traction force）を定量的に予測することができる．本技術は，従来のtraction force測定法に比べて圧倒的に高いスループットを実現しているが故に，定量化の難しいメカノバイオロジー研究において新しい展開を拓きうる．

The nanostructure of a peptide amphiphile in commercial use in anti-wrinkle creams is investigated. The peptide contains a matrikine, collagen-stimulating, pentapeptide sequence. Self-assembly into giant nanotapes is observed and the internal structure was found to comprise bilayers parallel to the flat tape surfaces.

Wrinkle ridges are the largest and most morphologically complex contractional landforms found on Moon. They occur exclusively in mare basalt thought to result from load induced subsidence flexure of lunar lithosphere. The displacement-length (Dmax/L) relations wrinkle ridge thrust faults mascons, where basalts generally thickest, non-mascon settings compared. results show no statistically signi...

The processing of thin-structured materials in a fluidic environment, from nearly inextensible but flexible graphene sheets to highly extensible polymer films, arises many applications. So far, little is known about the dynamics such thin freely suspended fluid. In this work, we study soft uniaxial extensional flow. Elastic are modeled with continuum model that accounts for in-plane deformation...
