In the present paper, a hybrid , variational, user-controlled, 3D mesh smoothing algorithm is proposed for orphaned shell meshes. The smoothing model is based on a variational combination of energy and equi-potential minimization theories. A variety of smoothing techniques for predicting a new location for the node-to-smooth are employed. Each node is moved according to a specific smoothing alg...

Clock skew is often cited as an impediment to designing high-performance synchronous circuits. Clock skew reduces the performance of a circuit by reducing the time available for computation, and it may even cause circuit failure by allowing race conditions. In this paper, we show how to use retiming to reduce the e ect of clock skew in both edge-clocked and level-clocked circuits. We include bo...

Image skew is one of the prominent distortions that exist in optical elements, such as in spectacle lenses. The present study evaluates adaptation to image skew in dynamic natural images. Moreover, the cortical levels involved in skew coding were probed using retinal specificity of skew adaptation aftereffects. Left and right skewed natural image sequences were shown to observers as adapting st...

Clock skew variations adversely affect timing margins, limiting performance, reducing yield, and may also lead to functional faults. Non-tree clock distribution networks, such as meshes and crosslinks, are employed to reduce skew and also to mitigate skew variations. These networks, however, increase the dissipated power while consuming significant metal resources. Several methods have been pro...

In this paper, we propose new approaches for solving the usefulskew tree (UST) routing problem [17]: Clock routing subject to general skew constraints. The clock layout synthesis engine of our UST algorithms is based on the deferred-merge embedding (DME) paradigm for zero-skew tree [5; 11 and bounded-skew tree [8; 21 routings; hence, the names UST/DME and Greedy-UST/DME for our algorithms. They...

Skew detection is an important stage of document image processing. It is desirable t o have a fast, all-purpose skew detector. This paper describes a fast skew detector using directional profile analysis. It can quickly and accurately detect skew on a wide variety of document images, including images with multiple text alignments and nontext regions. The complexity of the skew detection process...

Abstract. A skew edge coloring of a graph G is defined to be a set of two edge colorings such that no two edges are assigned the same unordered pair of colors. The skew chromatic index s(G) is the minimum number of colors required for a skew edge coloring of G. In this paper, an algorithm is determined for skew edge coloring of circular ladder graphs. Alsothe skew chromatic index of circular la...

Circular bacterial chromosomes have highly polarized nucleotide composition in the two replichores, and this genomic strand asymmetry can be visualized using GC skew graphs. Here we propose and discuss the GC skew index (GCSI) for the quantification of genomic compositional skew, which combines a normalized measure of fast Fourier transform to capture the shape of the skew graph and Euclidean d...
