An interesting class of orthogonal representations consists the so-called turn-regular ones, i.e., those that do not contain any pair reflex corners point to each other inside a face. For such representation H it is possible compute in linear time minimum-area drawing, drawing minimum area over all assignments vertex and bend coordinates H. In contrast, finding NP-hard if non-turn-regular. This...

We report our studies on single-picosecond electrical pulse switching of YBa2Cu3O7−x (YBCO) grain-boundary bicrystal Josephson junctions. The test structures consisted of coplanar strip (CPS) transmission lines that were patterned in 50 nm thick YBCO films prepared on (100) MgO bicrystal substrates. Each CPS contained a 5 μm wide, 10 μm long microbridge and a 5 μm wide grain-boundary Josephson ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the delay and reasons of delay of turn around time (TAT) of stat tests in the section of clinical chemistry of the clinical laboratory. SETTING Clinical Laboratory, Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi. PATIENTS AND METHODS In our study turn around time (TAT) of stat tests were analyzed. Turn around time was specified as the time from receipt of the sample till the fi...

In his recent book Left Turn, Tim Groseclose concludes that, in a world without media bias, the average American voter would be positioned at around 25 on a 0–100 scale, where 0 is a right-wing Republican and 100 is a left-wing Democrat. In this world, a balanced media might include some TV networks promoting the view that abortion should be illegal under all circumstances and subject to crimin...

When the right-turn vehicles share the same phase with pedestrians on divided lanes at intersection, the stopped buses or mediumsize vehicles that closed to the right-turn vehicleswould block the viewof drivers and pedestrians from the far-side of crosswalk.This paper aims at analyzing the changes of lag/gap acceptance behavior with/without considering sight obstruction and the headway of follo...

No-insulation(NI) Rare-Earth Barium Copper Oxide (REBCO) pancake coils can generate high magnetic fields and have the thermal stability against normal-state transition due to allowing currents radially bypass a local region through turn-to-turn contacts. Despite these merits, no insulation causes charging delay. To solve this delay problem, an NI REBCO coil wound with multi-bundled (MB) conduct...
