The array erasure code, an ideal method for fault tolerance in storage systems, however, is obstructed by its impossibility to set the fault tolerant ability according to dynamic application environment for practical purpose. In view of this, this paper presents a new class of array erasure codes, with the greatest contribution to the array codes which can be obtained according to the preset nu...

A new method for interpolating between presets is described. The interpolation algorithm called Intersecting N-Spheres Interpolation is simple to compute and its generalization to higher dimensions is straightforward. The current implementation in the SuperCollider environment is presented as a tool that eases the design of many-to-many mappings for musical interfaces. Examples of its uses, inc...

Generating the “right” visual representation for the data and task at hand remains a standing challenge in visualization research and practice. A variety of different approaches to produce visual representations have been proposed in the past, including such noteworthy instances as visualization by example and visualization by analogy. With this paper, we add a new twist to creating visual repr...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of a temporary ureteral catheter in preventing iatrogenic ureteral damage in cervical cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic radical hysterectomy. All cases had confirmed diagnoses of cervical cancer preoperatively between December 2008 and December 2012 in our hospital and were in clinical stages IA2 to IIA. In total, 176 laparoscopi...

(b) Binarize the data to make it suitable for frequent itemset generation. We have implemented following different schemes • Taking absolute values only, set all entries greater than a preset threshold, λ to 1 and the rest to 0. • Taking absolute values only, set all entries which lie above a preset percentile to 1 and the rest to 0. • Split each gene, g into three components g−, g and g signif...

Schreuder, J.A.M., Combinatorial aspects of construction of competition Dutch Professional Football Leagues, Discrete Applied Mathematics 35 (1992) 301-312. Competitions are defined as a set of meetings between a number of clubs at preset dates under preset rules. Such a problem can be divided in two subproblems: firstly developing a Home-Away schedule with oriented egde-colourings of complete ...
