The sequential and indeterminate behavior of an end-around-carry (EAC) adder is examined. This behavior is commonly overlooked in the literature. Design modifications to impose determinism are provided. These modifications also eliminate the troublesome negative zero found in the one's complement number system.

Two kinds of configuration schemes about eight and ten single-axis vector magnetometers are put forward on the basis of describing the principle of underwater magnetic field localization. The measurement equations of magnetic field magnitude and gradients are educed on condition of two configuration schemes, and that the calculated precisions of both magnetic field magnitude and gradients are c...

The paper introduces an approach for crosstalk-free bitpermute-complement (BPC) permutations routing in hybrid optical variable-stage shuffle-exchange networks (SENs) of size where N=2, and the number of stages can vary in . The number of stages should be asserted as required by a given BPC permutation for its admissibility. The crosstalk is caused by interacting of two optical signals within t...

For cancer patients, quality of life and satisfaction with care are not only related to patient treatment facilities, but also to ambulatory care. Therefore, the goal of ambulatory care should be to prevent predictable morbidities, to eliminate residual morbidities when possible, to control symptoms, and to lessen discomfort when cure is not likely. Truly multidisciplinary services should be av...

We present Neumann-Neumann domain decomposition preconditioners for the solution of elliptic linear quadratic optimal control problems. The preconditioner is applied to the optimality system. A Schur complement formulation is derived that reformulates the original optimality system as a system in the state and adjoint variables restricted to the subdomain boundaries. The application of the Schu...

In the transport layer of the TCP/IP protocol suite, both TCP and UDP use internet checksum to protect headers and data. Internet checksum uses 1’s complement arithmetic to detect errors in the content delivered by the data-link layer. Both research and experience have shown that there are a wide variety of error sources which can not be detected by this lower layer. The error detecting perform...

We deal with the problem of preserving various versions of completeness in (< κ)–support iterations of forcing notions, generalizing the case “S–complete proper is preserved by CS iterations for a stationary costationary S ⊆ ω1”. We give applications to Uniformization and the Whitehead problem. In particular, for a strongly inaccessible cardinal κ and a stationary set S ⊆ κ with fat complement ...

Aim: The majority of cancer patients develop cancer cachexia (CC). CC is a debilitating and life-threatening, multifactorial condition that is characterized by altered metabolism and reduced food intake, contributing to weight loss (mainly lean body mass). Existing treatment approaches are limited in their ability to treat CC, while too little is currently done to prevent it. Surveys were carri...
