We develop a novel circuit-level stochastic local search (SLS) method D-CRSat for Boolean satisfiability by integrating a structure-based heuristic into the recent CRSat algorithm. D-CRSat significantly improves on CRSat on real-world application benchmarks on which other current CNF and circuit-level SLS methods tend to perform weakly. We also give an intricate proof of probabilistically appro...

objective electroencephalogram (eeg) is an easy and non invasive evaluation method for diagnosis and early prognosis in children. our aim was to assess the association between eeg and the patients' developmental quotient (dq) level in phenylketonuria. materials & methods in this study, 94 pku patients (45 boys, 49 girls; mean age: 8.5 6.2 years) who were diagnosed through newborn screening test...

background: due to difficulty of obtaining a 24h urine (especially in children), a random urine calcium sample is recommended to detect of hypercalciuria. however, recent studies have shown that the urinary calcium/creatinine ratio varies with age and geographic areas. so, the aim of this study was determining the normal value of urinary calcium to creatinine ratio in healthy adolescent’s child...

● view-driven mesh refinement / level-of-detail scheme with geomorphing ● ‘ambient’ (procedural) waves with dispersion property ● ‘interactive’ waves with dispersion property (which we believe is a technological first for games) ● real-time procedural normal maps, with distance-based cross-over into geometry ● optical effects including Fresnel reflectance, cloudy water, and refraction ● special...

We propose a new model for distributed programming , called Associative Broadcast, that achieves a high level of communication abstraction by using as its fundamental mode of communication a form of logical broadcast. Each message contains a predicate that speciies the local states of the objects that are to receive the message, rather than their identi-ers. Message delivery is asynchronous and...

Ambrosio and Soner [1] have shown that level-set methods can be used to characterize classical, and define generalized, evolution by mean curvature of manifolds of arbitrary codimension in Rn. We investigate for what (other) normal velocities, and how, the level-set methods can be used to treat motion of manifolds of arbitrary codimension by the given velocity. Two variants of the level-set app...

The implications of approximate dynamical constants of motion for statistical analysis of highly excited vibrational spectra are investigated. The existence of approximate dynamical constants is related to localized chaos and partial assignability of a "chaotic spectrum." Approximate dynamical constants are discussed in a dynamical symmetry breaking formulation of the transition from periodic t...

Multiresolution representations of 3D surfaces make it possible to concentrate the efforts of a modification at the appropriate level of detail. This paper introduces a multiresolution representation for point-set surfaces. At each level, the point set is smoothed and downsampled, and the geometric details are encoded along the smoothed surface normal. The resulting structure is only slightly l...

High-pressure Raman spectroscopic experiments of anglesite, PbSO4, were carried out in a diamond anvil cell up to about 35 GPa at room temperature. Two stages of changes in the pattern of wavenumber-versus-pressure plot were observed in most of the vibrational modes. The first stage of change is the kink in the slope of wavenumber-versus-pressure plot at about 14 GPa, indicating a change in the...

We measure the low lying eigenmodes of an overlap Dirac operator on 2–flavor staggered configurations. By comparing the eigenmode distribution to the predictions of Random Matrix Theory we test to what accuracy staggered configurations describe continuum QCD. The agreement between the numerical data and RMT implies that at our quark mass values the lattice artifacts of the staggered configurati...
