A balanced multiple-valued filing scheme of order (t 1) is constructed based on the finite projective geometry PG(t, q), (t + 1) not prime, t odd. The attributes and attribute values are defined using a spread of flats from PG(t, q) as in Yamamoto etal. (Inform. Contr. 21 (1972), 72-91) and Berman (Inform. Contr. 32 (1976), 128-138). Certain structural properties of PG(t,q) are exploited, resul...

Abstract In this work we analyse bucket increasing tree families. We introduce two simple stochastic growth processes, generating random trees of size n , complementing the earlier result Mahmoud and Smythe (1995, Theoret. Comput. Sci. 144 221–249.) for recursive trees. On combinatorial side, define multilabelled generalisations families d -ary generalised plane-oriented Additionally, a cluster...

Basel II imposes regulatory capital on banks related to the default risk of their credit portfolio. Banks using an internal rating approach compute the regulatory capital from pooled probabilities of default. These pooled probabilities can be calculated by clustering credit borrowers into different buckets and computing the mean PD for each bucket. The clustering problem can become very complex...

Bucket sorting algorithm achieves O(n) running time complexity in average. It is very fast compared to any comparison-based sorting algorithms that usually have a lower bound of Ω(n log n). Given an unsorted array of n positive integers, bucket sorting algorithm works by distributing the elements into m ordered buckets each contains zero or more elements. Each bucket is then sorted using either...

Despite some studies on bearing capacity have been studied, the detail responses of the suction bucket foundations under dynamic loads have remained unknown [3]. The dynamic load condition is significant when suction buckets are used as the foundation of an offshore structure. Wave load, ice-induced or wind-induced load cause the foundation to be subjected to cyclic loads [4]. The dynamic load ...

Citation: Richter M (2015) Commentary: Pre-crastination: hastening subgoal completion at the expense of extra physical effort. Rosenbaum et al. (2014) announced in a recent Psychological Science paper the discovery of a new psychological phenomenon. They presented nine studies on task choice in a bucket carrying task and claimed that the results of these studies provide evidence for pre-crastin...

Network services with deterministic guarantees are based on a worst-case description of user-generated traffic. When designing a policing and scheduling algorithm for guaranteed services on the Internet, accuracy of description of the traffic profile has to be traded with simplicity of implementation. The result of this trade off is often expressed as the number of token buckets required by the...

We are developing an Undergraduate Digital Library Framework (UDLF) that will support creation/archiving of courses and reuse of existing course material to evolve courses. UDLF supports the publication of course materials for later instantiation for a specific offering and allows the addition of time-dependent and student-specific information and structures. Instructors and, depending on permi...

By operating the Metrology Light Source (MLS) near horizontal resonances (∆Qx = 1/2, 1/3 or 1/4), two, three or four resonance island buckets may be populated for beam storage. This paper presents experimental results and operational experience such as tuning the machine for high current, controlling inter-bucket diffusion rates, improving overall lifetime and extraction of radiation pulses wit...

Bucket increasing trees are multilabelled generalizations of trees, where each non-leaf node carries b labels, with b≥1 a fixed integer. We provide fundamental result, giving complete characterization all families bucket that can be generated by tree evolution process. also several equivalent properties, complementing and extending earlier results for ordinary to trees. Additionally, we state s...
