To investigate the microphysics mechanism and the factors that influence arc development along a polluted surface, the arc was considered as a plasma fluid. Based on the image method and the collision ionization theory, the electric field of the arc needed to maintain movement with different degrees of pollution was calculated. According to the force of the charged particle in an arc plasma str...

An (n, r)-arc is a set of n points of a projective plane such that some r, but no r + 1 of them, are collinear. In this paper new (95, 7)-arc, (183, 12)-arc, (205, 13)-arc in PG(2,17) and (243, 14)-arc, (264, 15)-arc in PG(2,19) are constructed.

During arc welding, the arc heats and melts the workpiece as heat flux. When the welding current is given, the distribution and the intensity of the heat flux are determined by the length of the arc. The measurement and control of the arc length are fundamental in robotic and automated welding operations. Length of welding arc determines the distribution of the arc energy and thus the heat inpu...

Salient stimuli that modify behavior induce transcription of activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein (Arc/Arg3.1) and transport Arc mRNA into dendrites, suggesting that local Arc translation mediates synaptic plasticity that encodes such stimuli. Here, we demonstrate that long-term synaptic depression (LTD) in hippocampal neurons induced by group 1 metabotropic glutamate receptors (m...

Cache replacement algorithms have focused on managing caches that are in the datapath. In datapath caches, every cache miss results in a cache update. Cache updates are expensive because they induce cache insertion and cache eviction overheads which can be detrimental to both cache performance and cache device lifetime. Nondatapath caches, such as host-side flash caches, allow the flexibility o...

Isaak posed the following problem. Suppose T is a tournament having a minimum feedback arc set which induces an acyclic digraph with a hamiltonian path. Is it true that the maximum number of arc-disjoint cycles in T equals the cardinality of minimum feedback arc set of T? We prove that the answer to the problem is in the negative. Further, we study the number of arc-disjoint cycles through a ve...

There is no need to show the importance of arc-consistency in Constraint Networks. Mohr and Henderson [8] have proposed AC-4, an algorithm having an optimal worst-case time complexity. But it has two drawbacks: its space complexity and its average time complexity. In problems with many solutions, where the size of the constraints is large, these drawbacks become so important that users often re...

We formally introduce arc-typed nets as a model for causality based speciica-tions. The new feature of arc-typed nets is the distinction of diierent arc-types; the diierent arc-types carry over to a process of the net. Therefore, there are diierent types of causalities in a run of an arc-typed net. Arc-typed nets have informally been used for modelling and verifying consistency protocols. It tu...

Arc-annotated sequences are useful in representing the structural information of RNA and protein sequences. The longest arc-preserving common subsequence problem has been introduced as a framework for studying the similarity of arc-annotated sequences. In this paper, we consider arc-annotated sequences with various arc structures. We consider the longest arc preserving common subsequence proble...
