The linear discrepancy of a poset P is the least k for which there is a linear extension L of P such that if x and y are incomparable in P, then |hL(x) − hL(y)| ≤ k, where hL(x) is the height of x in L. In this paper, we consider linear discrepancy in an online setting and devise an online algorithm that constructs a linear extension L of a poset P so that |hL(x) − hL(y)| ≤ 3k − 1, when the lin...

A comprehensive RF analysis technique based on ensemble Monte Carlo (EMC) simulation of compound FET’s with realistic device geometry is presented. Y -parameters are obtained through Fourier transformation of the EMC transients in response to small changes in the terminal voltages. The terminal currents are statistically enhanced and filtered to allow for reliable y-parameters extraction. Impro...

In this paper, assuming that (X, Y1, Y2)T has a trivariate normal distribution, we derive the exact joint distribution of ( X, Y(1), Y(2))^T, where Y(1) and Y(2) are order statistics arising from (Y1, Y2)T . We show that this joint distribution is a mixture of truncated trivariate normal distributions and then use this mixture representation to derive the best (nonlinear) predictiors of X...

Zeolite Y, as a solid acid catalyst with excellent performance, is landmark in petroleum refining and chemical industry production–especially catalytic cracking reactions. Improving the SAR of Y zeolite, enriching its pore structure, modifying it heteroatoms can realize multifunctional catalysis improve application value it, then meet demands refining. In this review, synthesis zeolites high SA...

On the basis of the construction of index system, by the factor analysis and the model of coupled coordination degree, the coupled coordination degrees in 2005 and 2010 between development of urban land intensive use system and social economic system are studied in 17 ground level cities of Shandong province. The first results showed that f(x) and f(y) in 2010 were higher than in 2005, which in...

the study was conducted in adamawa state, nigeria. the major thrust of this study is to assess the adoption rate of technology in fadama iii project, adamawa state, nigeria. fadama iii is being implemented in 20 local government areas (lga) of adamawa state. in its four years of operation, fadama iii project has realized significant impact on household access to new and proven technologies. the...

Interest in superconducting microresonators has grown dramatically over the past decade. Resonator performance has improved substantially through the use of improved geometries and materials as well as a better understanding of the underlying physics. These advances have led to the adoption of superconducting microresonators in a large number of low-temperature experiments and applications. Thi...

This note describes a numerically stable version of the improved Mellor–Yamada (M–Y) Level-3 model proposed by Nakanishi and Niino [Nakanishi, M. and Niino, H.: 2004, Boundary-Layer Meteorol. 112, 1–31] and demonstrates its application to a regional prediction of advection fog. In order to ensure the realizability for the improved M–Y Level-3 model and its numerical stability, restrictions are ...

Commercially improved crop performance under drought conditions has been challenging because of the complexity of the trait and the multitude of factors that influence yield. Here we report the results of a functional genomics approach that identified a transcription factor from the nuclear factor Y (NF-Y) family, AtNF-YB1, which acts through a previously undescribed mechanism to confer improve...
