Sparse storage formats are techniques for storing and processing the sparse matrix data efficiently. The performance of these storage formats depend upon the distribution of non-zeros, within the matrix in different dimensions. In order to have better results we need a technique that suits best the organization of data in a particular matrix. So the decision of selecting a better technique is t...

From the viewpoint of regulatory guidelines, validation of LC-UV and LC-MS based methods have the same requirements. Matrix effects are not considered for most method validations if they do not influence reproducibility or assay linearity. Since matrix effects can strongly suppress ionizaton efficiency and therefore reduce sensitivity, they must be evaluated (and discussed in the context of met...

This study estimates the multi-component efficiency of banks under financial holding companies, including profitability and marketability efficiencies, by utilizing a RAM (Range-adjusted measure) variation model. The analysis process uses the three-dimensional BCG (Boston Consulting Group) matrix created by this study. We find that although semi-publicly-owned banks under financial holding comp...

In this paper we combine results from [1] and [3] in order to determine the relationship between the deficiency of a group G and the deficiency of a Rees matrix semigroup S over G; in particular, we investigate how the efficiency of S depends on the efficiency of G. We start by defining semigroup and group presentations. Let A be an alphabet. We denote by A the free semigroup on A consisting of...

Achieving high-performance while reducing power consumption is the key question as technology scaling is reaching its limits. It is well-accepted that application-specific custom hardware can achieve orders of magnitude improvements in efficiency. The question is whether such efficiency can be maintained while providing enough flexibility to implement a broad class of operations. In this paper,...

effective elastic properties for carbon nanotube reinforced composites are obtained through a variety of micromechanics techniques. an embedded carbon nanotube  in  a  polymer  matrix  and  its surrounding  interphase  is  replaced with an equivalent fiber for  predicting  the  mechanical  properties of  the  carbon  nanotube/polymer composite. the effects of an interphase layer between the nan...

In this article, a new numerical method based on triangular functions for solving  nonlinear stochastic differential equations is presented. For this, the stochastic operational matrix of triangular functions for It^{o} integral are determined. Computation of presented method is very simple and attractive. In addition, convergence analysis and numerical examples that illustrate accuracy and eff...

As demands for energy savings have increased in recent years, inverters are being used in a wider range of applications. Demands for lower cost, smaller size and higher efficiency will continue to further expand the range of inverter applications. However, as a trend toward eco-friendly products increases, some sort of measure is necessary to suppress the harmonics contained in the inverter inp...

This note looks at the efficiency of the cross-wired mesh array in the context of matrix multiplication. It is shown that in case of repeated operations, the average number of steps to multiply sets of n×n matrices on a mesh array of size n 2 approaches n.
