We study the $k$ nearest neighbors problem in plane for general, convex, pairwise disjoint sites of constant description complexity such as line segments, disks, and quadrilaterals under a general family distance functions including $L_p$ norms additively weighted Euclidean distances. compose static data structure this setting with nearly optimal $O(n\log\log n)$ space, $O(\log n+k)$ query time...

This paper extends the previous work of generating monotonic-rhythm log-aesthetic space curve segments so that compound-rhythm log-aesthetic space curve segments are interactively generated. A compound-rhythm log-aesthetic space curve segment is composed of two monotonic-rhythm log-aesthetic space curve segments whose logarithmic curvature and torsion graphs are represented by two connected lin...

Cells removed from asynchronous cultures during lag, log, and stationary phases of growth were found to differ in their sensitivity to antibody/complement-mediated killing. The human lymphoblastoid line, Raji, was relatively more susceptible to killing by human anti-HLA antibody plus rabbit complement during the lag and log phases of growth, while the human lymphoid cell line, PY, was relativel...

We consider the problem of scheduling communication on optical WDM (wavelength division multiplexing) networks using the light-trails technology. We seek to design scheduling algorithms such that the given transmission requests can be scheduled using minimum number of wavelengths (optical channels). We provide algorithms and close lower bounds for two versions of the problem on an n processor l...

Logs contain valuable information about the runtime behaviors of software systems. Thus, practitioners rely on logs for various tasks such as debugging, system comprehension, and anomaly detection. However, are difficult to analyze due their unstructured nature large size. In this paper, we propose a novel approach called <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http:...

A recognition model which de®nes a measure of shape similarity on the direct output of multiscale and multiorientation Gabor ®lters does not manifest qualitative aspects of human object recognition of contour-deleted images in that: (a) it recognizes recoverable and nonrecoverable contour-deleted images equally well whereas humans recognize recoverable images much better, (b) it distinguishes c...
