We define the range 1 query (R1Q) problem as follows. Given a d-dimensional (d ≥ 1) input bit matrix A, preprocess A so that for any given regionR of A, one can efficiently answer queries asking ifR contains a 1 or not. We consider both orthogonal and non-orthogonal shapes for R including rectangles, axis-parallel right-triangles, certain types of polygons, and spheres. We provide space-efficie...

This paper proposes different types of exact (or approximate) confidence intervals and exact (or approximate) joint confidence regions for the parameters of the twoparameter lifetime distribution with bathtub-shaped or increasing failure rate (IFR) function based on a type II right censored sample. Moreover, we provide optimal criteria for finding a best exact (or approximate) confidence interv...

The management of transuranic nuclides in liquid metal reactors (LIvlR’s) is umsidered based on the use of the Integral Fast Reactor (WI?) conceptUnique features of the IFR fiel cycle with respect to transuranic management are identified. lhese features are exploited together with the hard spectrum of LMR’s to demonstrate the neutronic feasibility of a wide range of transuranic management optio...

We have injected a HeNe laser at 543 nm into the science fiber. A set of lenses and a diaphragm (in collimated space) were used after the laser to inject the beam with the correct focal ratio. The diameter of the diaphragm was set to 4 mm, while the focal length of the focusing lens was 19 mm, which gives an input focal ratio (IFR) of F/4.75. After aligning the fiber in x, y and z directions, w...

TRIZ is used to resolve invention problems. ARIZ is the most powerful systematic method which integrates all of TRIZ heuristics. Definition of ideal final result (IFR), identification of contradictions and resource utilization are main lines of ARIZ. But resource searching of ARIZ has fault of blindness. Alexandr sets up mathematical model of transformation of the hereditary information in an i...

taking off in low cloud ceilings. When flying IFR, pilots rely on navigation instruments in conjunction with instructions from air traffic control agencies issuing clearances for routes and altitudes. In congested areas, air traffic controllers essentially “steer” aircraft using radar vectoring. To ensure an orderly flow of traffic, most phases of flight must follow a track, or flight path, tha...
