Probabilistic data structures are so popular in membership queries, network applications, and so on. Bloom Filter and Cuckoo Filter are two popular space efficient models that incorporate in set membership checking part of many important protocols. They are compact representation of data that use hash functions to randomize a set of items. Being able to store more elements while keeping a reaso...

A physically interpretable model of an experimental strip guidance installation, operated at Hoogovens Research and Development in the Netherlands, is derived by means of system identification. This process consists of an offset pivot guide steering roll with five degrees of freedom, four cylindrical guide rolls, and one driving roll. In this experimental installation, an endless steel strip is...

The practice of medicine was profoundly transformed by the introduction of the antibiotics (compounds isolated from Nature) and the antibacterials (compounds prepared by synthesis) for the control of bacterial infection. As a result of the extraordinary success of these compounds over decades of time, a timeless biological activity for these compounds has been presumed. This presumption is no l...

Retrograde ventriculoatrial conduction in persons with implanted dual chamber pacemakers can cause two types of responses. One is the familiar pacemaker mediated endless loop tachycardia. Another less known response is the repititive non-rentrant ventriculoatrial synchrony (RNRVAS). Both conditions produce similar symptoms due to the loss of atrial booster function and the presence of the rever...
