This paper presents some analytic results concerning the pivot interval routing (PIR) strategy of [T. Eilam, C. Gavoille, D. Peleg, Compact routing schemes with low stretch factor, J.Algorithms 46(2) (2003) 97–114, Preliminary version appeared. in: Proceedings of the 17thACM Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing, June 1998, pp. 11–20.] That strategy allows message routing on every we...

The program for the Thirteenth European Conference on Artificial Intelligence in MedicinE (AIME’11), was prepared by the Program Committee Chair Mor Peleg (University of Haifa, Haifa, Israel), the Local Chair Nada Lavrač (Jožef Stefan Institute, Ljubljana, Slovenia), and the AIME Chairman of the Board Carlo Combi (University of Verona, Verona, Italy). The conference was held in Bled, Slovenia o...

in this research, rehydration behavior of dried figs was studied at different temperatures (25, 60, 70, 80, and 90°c). the rehydration kinetic was examined using the four most frequently used empirical models, namely, weibull, peleg, first-order, and exponential association models. the weibull model gave the highest coefficient of determination (r2) and the lowest values of root mean square err...

We study the evaporation process of 2D black holes in thermal equilibrium when the incoming radiation is turned off. Our analysis is based on two different classes of 2D dilaton gravity models which are exactly solvable in the semiclassical aproximation including back-reaction. We consider a one parameter family of models interpolating between the Russo-Susskind-Thorlacius and Bose-Parker-Peleg...

The avocado is a tropical fruit whose nutritional value is due mainly to its high lipid content. The aim of this work was to evaluate the rehydration of freeze-dried avocado (variety Collinson) powder and slices. The rehydration kinetics was determined using an experimental apparatus that monitored the volume of water absorbed by the sample with the time. Peleg and Weibull equations were used t...

The aim of this work is to find out whether the grey level symmetric axis transform ( SAT) is a useful grey level shape description for finding the salient cavities in echocardiograms. The centres of the maximal discs of the grey level SAT are calculated using mathematical morphology as described by Peleg and Rosenfeld, and these centres are grouped to form symmetry surfaces. These surfaces are...

We consider the relation between strategy−proofness of resolute (single−valued) social choice functions and its property which we call Non−negative association property (NNAP) when individual preferences over infinite number of alternatives are continuous, and the set of alternatives is a metric space. NNAP is a weaker version of Strong positive association property (SPAP) of Muller and Sattert...

Clinical guidelines (GLs) play an important role in medical practice, and computerized support to GLs is now one of the most central areas of research in Artificial Intelligence in medicine. In recent years, many groups have developed different computer-assisted management systems of GL. Each approach has its own peculiarities and thus a comparison is necessary. Many possible aspects can be ana...

We consider a (pure) public goods provision problem with voluntary participation in a quasi-linear economy. We propose a new hybrid solution concept, the free-ridingproof core (FRP-Core), which endogenously determines a contribution group, public goods provision level, and how to share the provision costs. The FRP-Core is always nonempty in public goods economies but does not usually achieve gl...
