Abstract The movement of past peoples in the landscape has been studied extensively through use least cost path (LCP) analysis. Although methodological issues applying LCP analysis archaeology have frequently discussed, effect DEM error on results not fully assessed. Due to this, reliability result is undermined, jeopardising how well method can confidently be used model movement. To strengthen...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to explore the clinical outcomes of anatomical allograft or fibula shaft augmentation with locking compression plates (LCPs) in elderly patients with four-part proximal humeral fracture (PHF). METHODS A total of 22 elderly patients with four-part PHF underwent allograft augmentation with LCPs for treatment. Among them, 7 cases received anatomical allograft ...

Linear Complementarity Problems (LCP s) belong to the class of NP-complete problems. Therefore we can not expect a polynomial time solution method for LCP s without requiring some special property of the matrix coefficient matrix. Our aim is to construct some interior point algorithms which, according to the duality theorem in EP form, gives a solution of the original problem or detects the lac...

The Doi kinetic theory for flows of homogeneous, rodlike liquid crystalline polymers (LCPs) is extended to model flows of nonhomogeneous, rodlike LCPs through a nonlocal (long-range) intermolecular potential. The theory features (i) a nonlocal, anisotropic, effective intermolecular potential in an integral form that is consistent with the chemical potential, (ii) short-range elasticity as well ...

We study uncertain linear complementarity problems (LCPs), that is, in which the LCP vector q or matrix M may contain parameters. To this end, we use concept of Γ-robust optimization applied to gap function formulation LCP. Thus, work builds upon Krebs and Schmidt (2020). There, studied Γ-robustified LCPs for ℓ1- box-uncertainty sets, whereas now focus on ellipsoidal uncertainty sets. For M, de...

We provide an analytical study on the stability of equilibria of rigid rodlike nematic liquid crystalline polymers (LCPs) governed by the Smoluchowski equation with the Maier-Saupe intermolecular potential. We simplify the expression of the free energy of an orientational distribution function of rodlike LCP molecules by properly selecting a coordinate system and then investigate its stability ...

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) constitute a set of ambitious steps adopted to transform our world. They comprehensively outline action plans for social inclusion, environmental sustainability, and economic development. Achieving the SDGs by 2030 requires an unusual combination partnership between various governmental non-governmental organizations, development partners, private sector...

A novel approach is presented to 3D print vacuum–tight polymer components using liquid crystal polymers (LCPs). Vacuum–tight are essential for gas storage and passive heat transfer, but traditional printing methods often suffer from poor interfaces between layers high free volume, compromising vacuum integrity. By harnessing the unique properties of LCPs, including low volume melt viscosity, hi...

In this paper we describe an approach to solve the problem of the longest common parameterized subsequence. This approach is based on constructing logical models for LCPS. Mathematics Subject Classification: 03D15, 68Q17
