MOTIVATION Researchers studying large or complex biochemical networks would benefit from the ability to automatically create lucid visualizations and store them in a portable and widely accepted format. SUMMARY Two modules, SBMLSupportLayout and SBWAutoLayout, support reading, creating, manipulating and writing layout information for biochemical models. SBMLSupportLayout can read, update, add...

cellular manufacturing system (cms) is highly important in modern manufacturing methods. given the ever increasing market competition in terms of time and cost of manufacturing, we need models to decrease the cost and time of manufacturing. in this study, cms is considered in condition of dynamic demand in each period. the model is developed for facing dynamic demand that increases the cost of ...

We live in an information consumer society; day by day people consume lots of digital content. The reason behind it is that almost all of us have mobile devices that support web browsing, multimedia, and reading different document formats, like HTML, ePub or PDF files. Based on the current trends we can say that tablets are going to be dominant consumer devices. The diversity of the tablets and...

LayOPTTM is an innovative facilities layout analysis and optimization software package which can be used by layout planners and engineers in the optimal solution of single and multiple floor facility layout problems. LayOPT is ideal for the re-design of the overall layout for an existing facility or the development of a block layout for a new building. It can be applied to manufacturing, wareho...

Preparata and Vuillemin proposed the cube-connected cycles (CCC) in 1981 16], and in the same paper, gave an asymptotically-optimal layout scheme for the CCC. We give a new layout scheme for the CCC which requires less than half of the area of the Preparata-Vuillemin layout. We also give a non-trivial lower bound on the layout area of the CCC. There is a constant factor of 2 between the new lay...

Layout arrangement is important to achieve high productivity in flexible manufacturing system (FMS). This paper discusses the design of loop layout in FMS. The objective of the loop layout problem is the determination of the ordering of machines around a loop, to minimize the total number of loop traversals for a family of parts. This paper details the design, development and testing of particl...

COMAIDE is a toolkit for user-system cooperation through joint multi-focal graph browsing. It supports cooperative force-directed layout management, concurrent with dialogue handling, for heterogeneous multi-layered 3D interactive diagrams. The layout manager's intu-itively`natural' animations of multi-layered 3D graph drawings support: 1. Cooperative tidying of user-manipulable 3D layout; 2. O...

Layout is a physical arrangement of document components such as text-blocks, text-lines, figures and tables in a page. The difficulty of layout analysis depends on a class of layout to be analyzed. An important and the most investigated class would be rectangular layout. Layout is rectangular if all document components are circumscribed by non-overlapping upright rectangles. In recent years, ho...

A new zero-crossing edge detection method is described. Similar to Laplace of a Gaussian (LoG) algorithm, a 7x7 point spread function (PSF) is convolved with the original image to generate a smoothed image. Instead of locating edge position from the smoothed image, as in the case of LoG, we use the smoothed image as a reference to convert the original image into a three-value edge polarity map ...

With the evolution of QoS-capable 3G wireless networks, the wireless community has been increasingly looking for a framework that can provide effective network-independent end-toend QoS control. In this article we first construct such a framework and then describe how dynamic SLA-based control can be used to achieve end-to-end QoS in a wired and wireless (UMTS) environment. The proposed framewo...
