In this paper we exploit concepts from Information Theory to improve the classical Chvatal greedy algorithm for set covering problem. particular, develop a new procedure, called Surprisal-Based Greedy Heuristic (SBH), incorporating computation of “surprisal” measure when selecting solution columns. Computational experiments, performed on instances OR-Library, showed that SBH yields 2.5% improve...

The study of the q-analogue classical results geometric function theory is currently great interest to scholars. In this article, we define generalized classes close-to-convex functions and quasi-convex with help q-difference operator. Moreover, by using q-analogues a certain family linear operators, Kq,bsh, K˜q,sbh, Qq,bsh, Q˜q,sbh are introduced. Several interesting inclusion relationships be...

Dried distillers grains plus solubles (DDGS) contain fat and rumen undegradable intake protein, both of which have been shown to increase reproductive performance in heifers. The mechanisms leading to enhanced reproduction have not been fully defined. The objectives of this research were to evaluate effects of DDGS in late gestation heifer diets on animal and reproductive performance and on blo...

AIM To assess the influence of silane evaporation procedures on bond strength between a dental ceramic and a chemically activated resin cement. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighteen blocks (6 mm Chi 14 mm Chi 14 mm) of ceramic IPS Empress 2 were cemented (C and B) to composite resin (InTen-S) blocks using a chemical adhesive system (Lok). Six groups were analyzed, each with three blocks divided acco...

Honey is an essential product produced by both honey bees and stingless bees. It one of the most powerful natural products used for wound healing also known as sweetener that widely available across entire world. One problems required to sustain bee measuring quantifying quality. methods detect via odor signature. However, difficulties in identifying odour profile feature are common using human...

By applying Rosen's quantization approach to the historical Oppenheimer and Snyder gravitational collapse by setting constraints for formation of Schwarzschild black hole (SBH), in a previous paper [1] two Authors (CC FF) found potential, Schrodinger equation, solution energy levels, area quantum representation ground state at Planck scale SBH. Such results are consistent with ones literature. ...

 Subcortical band heterotopia (SBH) merupakan bands of heterotopic dari substansi grisea yang simetris dan bilateral, berlokasi di antara dinding ventrikel lapisan kortikal, terdapat pemisah jelas keduanya. disebabkan oleh mutasi genetik. kelainan langka dengan hanya beberapa ratus kasus dilaporkan sampai saat ini literatur kebanyakan pasien SBH adalah wanita. Gejala klinis biasan...

PURPOSE To compare computed tomography (CT) number measurement consistency under different beam hardening conditions in phantom experiment between dual-energy spectral CT and conventional CT imaging. MATERIALS AND METHODS A phantom with 8 cells in periphery region and 1 cell in central region were used. The 8 conditioning tubes in the periphery region were filled with 1 of the 3 iodine soluti...

We review here those malformations of the cerebral cortex which are most often observed in epilepsy patients, for which a genetic basis has been elucidated or is suspected and give indications for genetic testing. There are three forms of lissencephaly (agyria-pachygyria) resulting from mutations of known genes, which can be distinguished because of their distinctive imaging features. They acco...
