the results of mndo, am1 and pm3 semi-empirical calculations and hf/6-31g*, mp/6-31g*, mp2/6-311+g**, and b3lyp/6-311g** and qcisd/6-31g* ab initio methods for angle strain and conjugation effects in twist-boat, boat, and half-chair geometries of (z,z,z)-cycloocta-1,3,5-triene indicate that all methods, except pm3, predict wrong ordering of the conformations.

In this paper, we detail the implementation of a self-organized GMPLS network using the DRAGON software suite to introduce service awareness in a GMPLS network. DRAGON daemon has been extended to support anycast routing to allow forwarding user (service) requests to the most suitable servers based on their advertised service attributes. Furthermore, OSPF daemon has been also extended to allow f...

Grid-based path finding is required in many video games and virtual worlds to move agents. With both map sizes and the number of agents increasing, it is important to develop path finding algorithms that are efficient in memory and time. In this work, we present an algorithm called DBA* that uses a database of pre-computed paths to reduce the time to solve search problems. When evaluated using ...

We present fluid dynamics videos of the motion of a boat on a twolayer or three-layer fluid. Under certain specific conditions, this setup generates large amplitude interfacial waves, while no surface waves are visible. The boat is slowed down leading to a peristaltic effect and sometimes even stopped: this is the so-called dead water phenomenon. The phenomenon of dead water was first encounter...

It has happened several times in recent history that a mathematical discovery of great beauty and importance was originally published in a journal that would not likely to be read by many a working mathematician. One famous example is the Penrose tilings [15]. Surely, Penrose tilings and the theory of quasicrystals is now a major area of research (see, e.g., [17]), and not only in mathematics b...

Previous studies have found broad distributions, resembling power laws for different measures of the size of rainfall events. We investigate the large-event tail of these distributions and find in one measure that tropical cyclones account for a large proportion of the very largest events outside the scaling regime, i.e., beyond the cutoff of the power law. Tropical cyclones are sufficiently ra...

In the year of 2020 “Raya and The Last Dragon” was launched became part Disney Princess animated series. This film is rumored to be Disney's first created based on Southeast Asian visual culture. study aims analyze culture Asia portrayed in Raya Dragon.
