This paper considers the construction of minimum aberration (MA) blocked factorial designs. Based on coding theory, the concept of minimum moment aberration due to Xu (2003) for unblocked designs is extended to blocked designs. The coding theory approach studies designs in a row-wise fashion and therefore links blocked designs with nonregular and supersaturated designs. A lower bound on blocked...

Iterative algorithms based on runs and runs of runs are presented to calculate the cells of the two–dimensional lattice intersected by a line of real slope and intercept. The technique is applied to the problem of traversing a ray through a two–dimensional grid. Using runs or runs of runs provides a significant improvement in the efficiency of ray traversal for all but very short path lengths w...

the main objective of this study was to assess genetic comparison of two migratory forms of caspian trout salmo trutta caspius namely fall-run and spring-run. owing to the lack of information on its genetic differences, 5 microsatellite loci were used for 58 sample analyses. genomic dna was extracted from caudal fin using roche dna extraction kit and each pcr reaction was performed in a 25 ?l r...

Given an i.i.d. sequence of n letters from a finite alphabet, we consider the length of the longest run of any letter. In the equiprobable case, results for this run turn out to be closely related to the well-known results for the longest run of a given letter. For coin-tossing, tail probabilities are compared for both kinds of runs via Poisson approximation.

In this short paper we present an interactive mining approach which is based on net synthesis. First, a net is generated from a log file by a liberal mining algorithm such as the alpha-algorithm. Then, using concepts from the theory of regions, runs of this net which are not included in the log are calculated and feedbacked to a user who has to decide whether they are valid runs of the process ...
