is sentence has two meanings that depend on how she is semantically interpreted. On one meaning, she refers to the same individual that Sally does. On this interpretation, we say that she is “coreferent” with Sally. On the other interpretation, she refers to some female individual that isn’t Sally. On this interpretation we say that she and Sally are “disjoint in reference.” One way of expressi...

Low power has played an increasingly important role for embedded systems. To save power, lowering voltage and frequency is very straightforward and effective; therefore dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) has become a prevalent low-power technique. However, DVS makes no effect on power saving when the voltage reaches a lower bound. Fortunately, a technique called dynamic pipeline scaling (DPS) can ov...

This work introduces a proficient method to build a newly proposed code, named diagonal permutation shifting (DPS) code for the spectral-amplitude-coding (SAC) optical code-division multiple-access (OCDMA) system. The DPS code is derived and constructed from well-known prime codes and certain matrix operations. This proposed code possesses numerous properties such as the cross-correlation (CC) ...

This paper investigates the control problem of distributed parameter systems (DPS) with time-varying delay by employing mobile actuator-sensor networks. It is assumed that each agent in the networks has a sensor device which can measure spatial state, and an actuator device that can dispense control signals to spatially distributed process and can communicate with its neighbors. To better contr...

The chemokine IP-10 (CXCL10) is a candidate marker for hepatitis C virus (HCV) fibrosis monitoring. The aim of this proof-of-concept study is to assess if IP-10 measurements from dried plasma spots (DPS) are accurate in HCV-infected patients with either minimal or significant fibrosis. We measured IP-10 levels in plasma and DPS of 21 HCV-infected patients with cirrhosis and 19 patients with no/...

In this paper, we model the end-to-end QoS provisioning mechanisms in the WLAN and 3GPP interworking network. For the end-to-end QoS guaranteed service, we model the control plane and user plane considering the WLAN and 3GPP interworking network. And we propose the QoS parameter/class mapping and DPS packet scheduler. By the simulation results, DPS can provide the low end-to-end delay of voice ...

Abstract Paper reports the main results of a systematic study on longitudinal train dynamics (LTD) long freight trains, equipped with radio communication. The simulation have been used to prepare an experimental test campaign Distributed Power System (DPS) technology. simulations refer up/down and level track they compare LTD trains without DPS, for different operations link conditions. DPS tec...

We study the contribution from double parton scattering (DPS) to four-jet production at LHC, both leading order accuracy and after incorporating effects of QCD radiation. Apart DPS, we also include discuss single (SPS). find that radiation impacts theoretical predictions significantly, with DPS contributions more affected than SPS. examine a number observables in regard their effectiveness for ...

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS  Endoscopic ultrasound-guided drainage of symptomatic walled-off pancreatic necrosis (WON) usually has been performed with double pigtail plastic stents (DPS) and more recently, with lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS). However, LAMS are significantly more expensive and there are no comparative studies with DPS. Accordingly, we compared our experience with combined endo...

Automatic simpliication of polyhedral objects is a major topic in many computer graphics applications. This work discusses simpliication algorithms for the generation of a multiresolution family of solid representations from an initial polyhedral solid. We introduce the Discretized Polyhedra Simpliication (DPS), a framework for polyhedra simpliication using space decomposition models. The DPS i...
