C. A. R. Hoare, N. Wirth, E. W. Dijkstra, and some others active in structured programing have described and tacitly recommended a hierarchical accessibility of passed data in structured programing (see for example, References 11 and 26). This fits well, they and others indicate, with both the theory and the practice of structured programing (see for example, References 15, 18, 19, and 25). Thi...

this study is investigated the optimum parameters for a tuned mass damper (tmd) under the seismic excitation. shuffled complex evolution (sce) is a meta-heuristic optimization method which is used to find the optimum damping and tuning frequency ratio for a tmd. the efficiency of the tmd is evaluated by decreasing the structural displacement dynamic magnification factor (ddmf) and acceleration ...

Srinivasan and Varghese [17] have proposed the use of multibit tries to represent routing tables used for Internet (IP) address lookups. They propose an dynamic programing algorithm to determine the strides for an optimal variable-stride trie that has at most levels. Here, is the number of prefixes in the routing table and is the length of the longest prefix. We improve on this algorithm by pro...

Monocytes and macrophages play pivotal roles in inflammation and homeostasis. Recent studies suggest that dynamic programing of macrophages and monocytes may give rise to distinct "memory" states. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a classical pattern recognition molecule, dynamically programs innate immune responses. Emerging studies have revealed complex dynamics of cellular responses to LPS, with hig...

Urban traffic gridlock is a familiar scene. At the same time, the mean occupancy rate of personal vehicle trips in the United States is only 1.6 persons per vehicle mile. Ridesharing has the potential to solve many environmental, congestion, pollution, and energy problems. In this paper, we introduce the problem of large scale real-time ridesharing with service guarantee on road networks. Trip ...
