N95 traverse and travails

Traverse Analysis

Traversing is a fundamental operation in surveying and the assessment of the quality of a traverse is a skill that every surveyor develops. Acceptable traverses have angular and linear misclosures that fall within acceptable bounds; which would permit the adjustment of the traverse measurements to remove mathematical inconsistencies. Unfortunately these misclosures tell very little about the pr...

Current Advances and Travails in Islet Transplantation

The successful demonstration that insulin-producing -cells can be isolated (in the form of cell clusters called islets containing and other endocrine and nonendocrine cells) from a recently deceased donor’s pancreas, then transplanted into subjects with type 1 diabetes, and thereby restore, at least temporarily, insulin-independent normoglycemia has firmly established the important “proof of co...

Insect Orientation: The Travails of Going Straight

A study of dung beetles rolling dung balls to safety reveals unexpected facets of the beetle's acquisition and use of celestial information for keeping to a straight path.

Graph Traverse Software Pipelining

Software pipelining is becoming widely used as a loop execution model for microprocessors supporting a high instruction level parallelism. In this paper we describe a heuristic method for software pipelining, named Graph Traverse Software Pipelining (GTSP), that divides the scheduling problem in two phases: scheduling on a graph and code generation. The first phase encapsulates the NP-complete ...
