An algorithm is presented that, given the intersection model S of a circular-arc graph G with n vertices and m edges. finds a maximum-sized clique of GinO (n21oglogn) time. The previously best time bound for this problem is 0 (n 21ogn + mn). • 1ltis work was supported by Ihe Office of Naval Research under Conr:racr.s NOOOl4-84-K-DS02 and NOOOl4-86-K-0689. and by the National Science Foundation ...

The elastic instability of a circular plate adhering to an elastic foundation modeling the exposed surface of a biological cell resting on the cell interior is considered. Plate buckling occurs under the action of a uniform body force due to an overpassing simple shear flow distributed over the plate cross section. The problem is formulated in terms of the linear von Kármán plate bending equati...

Numerous environmental influences have been demonstrated to enhance recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) transduction. Such findings are the foundation of developing new and innovative strategies to improve the efficiency of rAAV as a gene therapy vector. Several of these environmental factors included genotoxic stresses such as UV and y irradiation as well as certain adenoviral gene produ...

While standard notions of security suffice to protect any message supplied by an adversary, in some situations stronger notions of security are required. One such notion is n-circular security, where ciphertexts Enc(pk1, sk2), Enc(pk2, sk3), . . . , Enc(pkn, sk1) should be indistinguishable from encryptions of zero. In this work we prove the following results for n-circular security, based upon...

______________ 1 The work was partially supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (Project No. 08-08-00155-a). Abstract – Switching of H11 mode in a circular waveguide of the interference switch improves parameters of high power microwave compressors. The switch can stand more than 3.5 ⋅ 10 6 operations and provides the rms 2% of output pulse amplitude deviation at the repetitions ...

T. Orr, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland The authors have presented an interesting paper concerning a fundamental problem for geotechnical engineers: the bearing capacity of circular foundations on sand. In this paper the authors have included an equation for the factor Na in the bearing capacity equation for circular foundations on the ground surface, which has been determined from the results ...

The cephalic and pectoral girdle structures of the Chinese catfish Cranoglanis bouderius are described and compared with those of other catfishes as the foundation for an analysis on the Cranoglanididae autapomorphies and also for a discussion on the phylogenetic relationships between the cranoglanidids and the other catfishes. Our observations and comparisons indicate that cranoglanidids are d...
