A finite lattice L is called slim if no three join-irreducible elements of L form an antichain. Slim lattices are planar. Slim semimodular lattices play the main role in [3], where lattice theory is applied to a purely group theoretical problem. After exploring some easy properties of slim lattices and slim semimodular lattices, we give two visual structure theorems for slim semimodular lattices.

objective: in recent years the use of herbal slimming supplements has increased in iran. one problem may be the illegal inclusion of synthetic drugs by some manufacturers in these products. the aim of this study is to determine four undeclared synthetic adulterants in some herbal slimming products present in the iranian market. methods: this survey studyresearched six common herbal slimming sup...

Slim groupoids are groupoids satisfying x(yz) ≈ xz. We find all simple slim groupoids and all minimal varieties of slim groupoids. Every slim groupoid can be embedded into a subdirectly irreducible slim groupoid. The variety of slim groupoids has the finite embeddability property, so that the word problem is solvable. We introduce the notion of a strongly nonfinitely based slim groupoid (such g...

cozero maps are generalized forms of cozero elements. two particular cases of cozero maps, slim and regular cozero maps, are significant. in this paper we present methods to construct slim and regular cozero maps from a given  cozero map. the construction of the slim and the regular cozero map from a cozero map are called slimming and regularization of the cozero map, respectively. also, we pro...

This paper presents the design and implementation of a Sliding Memory Plane (SliM) Array Processor, a mesh-connected SIMD architecture. To build the array processor, we developed the SliM chip consisting of mesh-connected 5 x 5 processing elements (PEs). Due to the idea of sliding, that is, overlapping the inter-PE communication with the computation, the SliM chip can greatly reduce the inter-P...

The publicly available Japanese data on the use of slim holes in geothermal exploration and reservoir assessment are reviewed in this report. Slim holes have been used for (1) obtaining core for geological studies, (2) delineating the stratigraphic structure, (3) characterizing reservoir fluid state (pressure, temperature, etc . ) , and (4) defining the permeability structure for reservoir asse...

Input frequency is one of the important variables in design and performance analysis of single-sided linear induction motors (SLIMs). Changing the frequency changes both the dimension of the SLIM in design process and the performance of the designed motor. The frequency influences the induced eddy currents in the secondary sheet as well as saturation level of the secondary back-iron. In this pa...

Although, Single-Sided Linear Induction Motor (SLIM) utilization has increased in railway applications due to their numerous advantages in comparison to Rotational Induction Motors (RIM), there are some sophistication in their mathematical models and electrical drive. This paper focuses on the problems of SLIM modeling, with assuming end-effect on the basis of Field Oriented Control (FOC) as a ...

We introduce SLIM, a hybrid storage system that uses disks within data center racks to implement persistent caches for storage area networks (SANs). SLIM leverages compression and block overwrites to reduce traffic on data center oversubscribed network links and to improve performance for low-cost SANs. We evaluate SLIM using various microbenchmarks and industry standard benchmarks. Our results...
