This paper analyzes the particular requirements that multimedia communication imposes on the network adapter and the I/O subsystem of a workstation. We show the drawbacks of current (parallel) communication subsystems and develop new architectural concepts applicable to multimedia communication subsystems. The key ideas are the separation of isochronous and asynchronous traffic, parallelism bet...

We determine a class of triple systems such that each must occur in a triple system with uncountable chromatic number that omits T0 (the system consisting of two triples on four vertices). This class contains all odd circuit of length ≥ 7. We also show that consistently there are two finite triple systems such that they can separately be omitted by uncountably chromatic triple systems but not b...

Combinations of transcription factors (TFs) instruct precise wiring patterns in the developing nervous system; however, how these factors impinge on surface molecules that control guidance decisions is poorly understood. Using mRNA profiling, we identified the complement of membrane molecules regulated by the homeobox TF Even-skipped (Eve), the major determinant of dorsal motor neuron (dMN) ide...

Static and frequency-dependent electronic (hyper)polarizabilities of the dimethylnaphthalene (DMN) isomers were computed in vacuum using the Coulomb-attenuating Density Functional Theory method. The nonlinear optical Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) and Electro-Optical Pockels Effect (EOPE) were investigated at the characteristic Nd:YAG laser wavelength of 1064 nm. The response electric propert...

Graphical models such as Bayesian networks (BNs) and decomposable Markov networks (DMNs) have been widely applied to probabilistic reasoning in intelligent systems. Figure 1 illustrates a BN and a DMN on a trivial uncertain domain: Virus can damage computer files and so can a power glitch. Power glitch also causes VCR to reset. The BN in (a) has four nodes, corresponding to four binary variable...
