We explore the problem of transforming a BSP program for execution on a multipro-gramming architecture, where it has to share resources with other BSP programs executing at the same time. 1 The BSP model The Bulk Synchronous Parallelism (BSP) 2] model is a general-purpose model that is both architecture-independent and eecient for most problems on today's architectures. A BSP program consists o...

A parallel implementation of Genetic Programming is described, using the Bulk Synchronous Parallel Programming (BSP) model, as implemented by the Oxford BSP library. It is shown that considerable speedup of the GP execution can be achieved. As the complexity and the size of the problem increases, the actual speedup can be improved (assuming a constant number of processors), since the communicat...

— IETF has proposed Mobile IPv6-based Network Mobility (NEMO) basic support protocol (BSP) to support network mobility. NEMO BSP inherits all the drawbacks of Mobile IPv6, such as inefficient routing path, single point of failure, high handover latency and packet loss, and high packet overhead. To address these drawbacks, we proposed an IP diversity-based network mobility management scheme call...

This paper presents a study of image simplification techniques as a first stage to define a multiresolution registration framework. We propose here a new approach for image registration based on the partitioning of the source images in binary-space (BSP) and quad-tree structures. These partitioned images have been obtained with a maximum mutual information gain algorithm. Multimodal registratio...

We consider the problem of constructing of binary space partitions (BSP) for a set S of n hyperrectangles in arbitrary dimensional space. If the set S fulfills the low directional density condition defined in this paper then the resultant BSP has O(n) size and it can be constructed in O(n log n) time in R. The low directional density condition defines a new class of objects which we are able to...

In this paper we discuss an algorithm to perform the conversion from the interior to the boundary of d dimensional polyhedra where both the d polyhedron and its d boundary faces are represented as BSP trees This approach allows also to compute the BSP tree of the set intersection between any hyperplane in E and the BSP representation of a d polyhedron If such section hyperplane is the a ne supp...

This paper presents a unified approach to colour image coding, content-based indexing, and retrieval for database applications. The binary space partitioning (BSP) tree, traditionally used in gray scale image coding [1, 2] is extended to represent colour images. The BSP tree, hence the structure, of the image is explicitly coded. A method is developed to compute the similarities of images based...

Bone sialoprotein (BSP) has been implicated in a variety of physiological and pathophysiological events, including tumor cell invasion, bone homing, adhesion, and matrix degradation. To explore the potential involvement of BSP in human breast cancer cell invasion and metastasis, we used retrovirus-mediated RNAi to deplete BSP levels in the human bone-seeking breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231BO...

BACKGROUND Mammalian semen contains a family of closely related proteins known as Binder of SPerm (BSP proteins) that are added to sperm at ejaculation. BSP proteins extract lipids from the sperm membrane thereby extensively modifying its composition. These changes can ultimately be detrimental to sperm storage. We have demonstrated that bovine BSP proteins interact with major milk proteins and...

To clarify sulfobromophthalein (BSP) and bilirubin uptake mechanisms, isolated rat hepatocytes were incubated with [5SJBSP. The initial uptake velocity (V.), determined from the first, linear portion of the cumulative uptake curve, was saturable (Michaelis constant [K.i = 6.2±0.5 ;sM; V.,= = 638±33 pmol X minl' per 10i hepatocytes), maximal at 370C and pH 7.4, and competitively inhibited by bil...
