background: rna molecules play many important regulatory, catalytic and structuralroles in the cell, and rna secondary structure prediction with pseudoknots is one themost important problems in biology. an rna pseudoknot is an element of the rna secondary structure in which bases of a single-stranded loop pair with complementary basesoutside the loop. modeling these nested structures (pseudokno...

this paper focuses upon the development of an efficient method for conceptual design optimization of a satellite. there are many option for a satellite subsystems that could be choice, as acceptable solution to implement of a space system mission. every option should be assessment based on the different criteria such as cost, mass, reliability and technology contraint (complexity). in this rese...

concurrency control is one of the important problems in operation systems. various studies have been reported to present different algorithms to address this problem, although a few attempts have been made to represent an overall view of the characteristics of these algorithms and comparison of their capabilities to each other. this paper presents a survey of the current methods for controlling...

in this paper, we study the problem of minimizing the ratio of two quadratic functions subject to a quadratic constraint. first we introduce a parametric equivalent of the problem. then a bisection and a generalized newton-based method algorithms are presented to solve it. in order to solve the quadratically constrained quadratic minimization problem within both algorithms, a semidefinite optim...

in the present study, a comprehensive and systematic strategy was described to evaluate the performance of several three-way calibration methods on a bio-analytical problem. parallel factor analysis (parafac), alternating trilinear decomposition (atld), self-weighted alternating trilinear decomposition (swatld), alternating penalty trilinear decomposition (aptld) and unfolded partial least squa...

introduction temporal and spatial change of meteorological and environmental variables is very important. these changes can be predicted by numerical prediction models over time and in different locations and can be provided as spatial zoning maps with interpolation methods such as geostatistics (16, 6). but these maps are comparable to each other as visual, qualitative and univariate for a lim...

background: dose calculation algorithms play a very important role in predicting the explicit dose distribution. we evaluated the percent depth dose (pdd), lateral depth dose profile, and surface dose volume histogram in inhomogeneous media using calculation algorithms and inhomogeneity correction methods. materials and methods: the homogeneous and inhomogeneous virtual slab phantoms used in th...
