In this study, we propose dynamic prioritization of image macro-blocks for Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSN). An encoding scheme is employed at the source node by labeling the blocks as “important” or “not-important” based on the information they contain. We introduce a set of novel priority measures to weigh importance of macro-blocks using their intrinsic properties. Experimental res...

Resolving molecular determinants of mechanical stability of proteins is crucial in the rational design of advanced biomaterials for use in biomedical and nanotechnological applications. Here we present an interdisciplinary study combining bioinformatics screening, steered molecular dynamics simulations, protein engineering, and single-molecule force spectroscopy that explores the mechanical pro...

For better understanding of relevant morphology and mechanics, direct visualization of a Neuroform microstent (NFM) within an actual human intracranial artery is essential. Twelve NFM were deployed into 8 various segments of formaldehyde-fixed cadaver intracranial arteries. The arteries were then dehydrated and cleared in methyl salicylate to create transparency. The morphology of NFM was studi...

This paper studies disfluencies in authentic human–human dialogues in Swedish and Tok Pisin. It is found that while there are no major differences as to types or frequencies on a macro level, there are dissimilarities on a micro level, notably in the characteristics of how prolonged segments are realized. The paper also discusses the results in the light of reported disfluencies in English, Ger...

The semantics of the times macro is given in [2] only for the case when the body of the macro is parahalting. We remedy this by defining a new times macro instruction in terms of while (see [9, 13]). The semantics of the new times macro is given in a way analogous to the semantics of while macros. The new times uses an anonymous variable to control the number of its executions. We present two e...

Why should wait for some days to get or receive the macro 11 assembly language architecture and structured programming book that you order? Why should you take it if you can get the faster one? You can find the same book that you order right here. This is it the book that you can receive directly after purchasing. This macro 11 assembly language architecture and structured programming is well k...

ABSTRACT Blade failure is a common problem of a steam turbine and it’s failure in-service results in safety risks, repair cost and non operational revenue losses. Thus, the reliability of these blades is very important for the successful operation of a steam turbine. Dynamic analysis of a steam turbine blade in computational environment is carried out in the present work. In order to gain physi...

For simplicity, we adopt the following convention: x, y, X are sets, m, n are natural numbers, O is an ordinal number, and R, S are binary relations. Let D be a set, let f be a part...

Der Beitrag stellt auf Basis einer ersten empirischen Untersuchung den Status Quo des Geschäftsprozessmanagements (GPM) in der kommunalen Wirtschaftsförderung dar. Obwohl GPM in der öffentlichen Verwaltung ein Instrument von wachsender Bedeutung darstellt, wurde der Bereich kommunaler Selbstverwaltung hierzu bislang wissenschaftlich nicht evaluiert. Die vorliegende qualitative Voruntersuchung b...

In this paper we show how the abstract behaviours of higherorder systems can be modelled as final coalgebras of suitable behavioural functors. These functors have the challenging peculiarity to be circularly defined with their own final coalgebra. Our main contribution is a general construction for defining these functors, solving this circularity which is the essence of higher-order behaviours...
