A classic problem in comparative genomics is to find a shortest sequence of evolutionary operations that transform one genome into another. There are different types of genome rearrangement operators such as reversals, transpositions, translocations, block interchange, double cut and join (DCJ) etc. In this paper we consider reversals and block-interchanges simultaneously and incorporate invert...

this study intends to evaluate interchange series (2005), which are still fundamental coursebooks in the efl curriculum settings, in terms of learning objectives in bloom’s revised taxonomy (2001) to see which levels of bloom's revised taxonomy were more emphasized in these coursebooks. for this purpose, the contents of interchange textbooks were codified based on a coding scheme designed by th...

graph G and applying the eigenvector technique of Barnes 111 to partition the graph G into IC blocks of fixed module . size. An efficient generalization of the Fiduccia-Mattheyses node interchange heuristic is developed to further reduce the number of nets connecting k blocks [3]. This node interchange heuristic is tested on the one resulting netlist partition obtained by this new eigenvector a...

Because of the increasing gap between the speeds of processors and main memories, compilers must enhance the locality of applications to achieve high performance. Loop fusion enhances locality by fusing loops that access similar sets of data. Typically, it is applied to loops at the same level after loop interchange, which first attains the best nesting order for each local loop nest. However, ...

RECIPROCAL translocation between nonhomologous chromosomes may be Adetected cytologically by observing an interchange complex at metaphase I. The interchange complex may occur either as an alternate or adjacent configuration, that is, zigzag or open ring or chain. In some species, the frequency of pollen mother cells with one or the other configurations is approximately equal; in other species,...

We study the effect of government encouraged or mandated interchange fee ceilings on consumer and merchant adoption and usage of payment cards in an economy where card acceptance is far from complete. If the pre-regulatory interchange fee was optimal, any change in the interchange fee would result in lower aggregate welfare for consumers, merchants, and banks. Merchant acceptance of debit and c...
