ÐIn a fault-tolerant distributed system, it is often necessary for nonfaulty processes to agree on the value of a shared data item. The criterion of Approximate Agreement does not require processes to achieve exact agreement on a value; rather, they need only agree to within a predefined numerical tolerance. Approximate Agreement can be achieved through convergent voting algorithms. Previous re...

The non-Hermitian skin effect can be realized through asymmetric hopping between forward and backward directions, where all the modes of system are localized at one edge a finite 1D lattice. Here we show theoretically that in chain exciton-polariton micropillars with symmetric hopping, inherent nonlinearity exhibit double-sided (bi-skin) based fluctuations system, two edges system. To topologic...

Concentrically braced frames (CBFs) are one of the efficient lateral load resisting systems in high seismicity regions. One of the common problems with the use of concentrically braced frames is limitation in the architectural application and position of the openings. Two-story X braced frames have more advantages than other configurations of concentrically braced frames, since in many cases th...

We have chosen an Ising ASYNNNI (ASYmmetric Next Nearest Neighbor Interaction)   model under a grand canonical regime to investigate structural phase transition from a high symmetric tetragonal (Tet) to a low symmetric orthorhombic in YBa2Cu3O6+x , 0<x<1,  HTc system. Ordering process for absorbed oxygens from an external gas bath into the basal plane of the layered system is studied by Monte C...

4-chloro-3,5-dioxaphosphacyclohepta[2,1-;3,4-&apos;]dinaphthalene (binol-pcl) was found to be an efficient, bulky and selective reagent for the transformation of symmetric and asymmetric benzoins to the corresponding benziles at 0 °c to room temperature under nitrogen atmosphere in good yield.

Depending on whether bidirectional links or unidirectional links are used for communications, the network topology under a given range assignment is either an undirected graph referred to as the symmetric topology, or a directed graph referred to as the asymmetric topology. The Min-Power Symmetric (resp., Asymmetric) k-Node Connectivity problem seeks a range assignment of minimum total power su...
