In this paper we study numerical approximations of the nonlocal p−Laplacian type diffusion equation, ut(t, x) = ∫ Ω J(x− y)|u(t, y)− u(t, x)|p−2(u(t, y)− u(t, x)) dy. First, we find that a semidiscretization in space of this problem gives rise to an ODE system whose solutions converge uniformly to the continuous one as the mesh size goes to zero. Moreover, the semidiscrete approximation shares ...

Recently, assurance cases have received much attentions in the field of software-based computer systems and IT services. However, software very often changes and there are no strong regulations for software. These facts are main two challenges to be addressed in software assurance cases. We propose a development method of assurance cases by means of continuous revision at every stage of the sys...

-CLL is frequently accompanied by decreased levels of serum immunoglobulins which increases patients susceptibility to infections (1,2). Low levels of IgA, IgM and IgG occur in 30%, 30% and 10% of B-CLL patients respectively at the time of diagnosis. The appearance of decreased levels of immunoglobulins is a continuos process developing spontaneously during the untreated course of the disease. ...

This paper describes the 3D GIS research efforts done by the GIS research groups as well as by major GIS software vendors world wide, namely Environmental System Research Institute (ESRI) Inc., ERDAS Inc., Integraph Inc., and PCI Geomatics Inc. Research works done by the authors of this paper formed major discussion of this paper including a discussion on why the 3D GIS software is difficult to...

The study observed population of 484 generation restrictive genealogies collected in four Croatian regions during 1970/71 within "The study of fat and carbohydrate metabolism indicators correlated with the occurrence of diabetes in animal fat and oil consuming population groups". The genealogies were collected on two islands (Brac and Hvar) and in two continental regions (Sinjska Krajina and Sr...

Observations of five D-type symbiotics are presented: three oxygen Mira (He2-38, H2-38 and H1-36) and two carbon Mira symbiotics (AS 210 and SS 38). The observations in the spectral range between 3200Å and 7400Å show the presence of several emission lines in various states of excitation. A line list is provided with their suggested identifications. Several parameters were derived for each objec...

This report provides an introduction to some Machine Learning tools within the most common development environments. It mainly focuses on practical problems, skipping any theoretical introduction. It is oriented to both students trying to approach Machine Learning and experts looking for new frameworks. The dissertation is about Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs [1, 2]), since currently is the m...

An evolution scheme is developed, based on Sorkin algorithm, to evolve the most complex regular tridimensional polytope, the 600-cell. The solution of 600-cell, already studied before, is generalized by allowing a larger number of free variables. The singularities of Robertson–Walker (RW) metric are studied and a reason is given why the evolution of the 600-cell stops when its volume is still f...

The preservation of temporal relations for real-time distributed continuos media is a key issue for emerging multimedia applications, such as Tele-Immersion and Tele-Engineering. Although several works try to model and execute distributed continuous media scenarios, they are far from resolving the problem. The present paper proposes a viable solution based on the identification of logical depen...

Automation is an essential component in today’s semiconductor manufacturing As factories migrate to 300 mm technology, automated handling becomes increasingly important for variety of ergonomic, safety, and yield considerations. Traditional semiconductor AMHS systems, such as the Overhead Monorail Vehicles (OMV) or Overhead Hoist, can be overly expensive. Cost projections for a 300mm inter/intr...
