Given a sequence of n elements, the All Nearest Smaller Values (ANSV) problem is to nd, for each element in the sequence, the nearest element to the left (right) that is smaller, or to report that no such element exists. Time and work optimal algorithms for this problem are known on all the PRAM models 3], 5], but the running time of the best previous hypercube algorithm 6] is optimal only when...

BACKGROUND The RD(50) (exposure concentration producing a 50% respiratory rate decrease) test evaluates airborne chemicals for sensory irritation and has become an American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard method. Past studies reported good correlations (R(2)) between RD(50)s and the occupational exposure limits, particularly threshold limit values (TLVs). OBJECTIVE The main ...

this article deals with the social and family values in one of the most famous simulation games (the sims) in the recent years. it is tried to answer some questions, whether, the sims is a representative of social values of american society, and in particular, of the american family. what is the cement of the american society from the game point of view? what does the sims family suggest as a m...

The paper examined the value system in Philippine firms against the backdrop of Eastern-Western cultural dynamics in East Asia. The Asian milieu presents co-existence of cultural stasis and unease -balance and tension between Eastern values and Western ideas. Successful Asian countries demonstrated their ability to blend conflicting cultures and highlight certain values in order to promote nati...
