We show an upper bound for the minimal size set of keys which cannot be inserted into a d-cuckoo hashing table independently of the hashing functions and the insertion algorithm. We also discuss the probability for a successful insertion into such a hash table.

A T-mesh is basically a rectangular grid that allows T-junctions. In this paper, we propose a method based on Bézier nets to calculate the dimension of a spline function space over a T-mesh. When the order of the smoothness is less than half of the degree of the spline functions, a dimension formula is derived which involves only the topological quantities of the T-mesh. The construction of bas...

We argue that thought insertion primarily involves a disruption of the sense of ownership for thoughts and that the lack of a sense of agency is but a consequence of this disruption. We defend the hypothesis that this disruption of the sense of ownership stems from a failure in the online integration of the contextual information related to a thought, in particular contextual information concer...

Insertional mutagenesis techniques, including transposon- and T-DNA-mediated mutagenesis, are key resources for systematic identification of gene function in the model plant species Arabidopsis thaliana. We have developed a database (http://atidb.cshl.org/) for archiving, searching and analyzing insertional mutagenesis lines. Flanking sequences from approximately 10 500 insertion lines (includi...

While the concept of disorders of basic self-experience as the clinical core of schizophrenia spectrum disorders has gained increasing significance and empirical support, several questions remain still unresolved. One major problem is to understand how the basic and prodromal self-disturbances are related to Schneider's first rank symptoms, in particular to the so-called 'ego disorders' found i...

Introduction: To study the long-term complications of tympanostomy tube insertion in young children 10 years after surgery.   Materials and Methods: In September 2011, the medical records of all patients who had undergone myringotomy with tympanostomy tube insertion between February 2000 and March 2001 at the two general hospitals of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences were studied. Of t...

background and aims: this research aimed to study a possible link between endometriosis and polymorphism of the progesterone receptor gene. materials and methods: the control group consisted of 86 women without endometriosis and the case group comprised 86 patients with a diagnosis of endometriosis by laparoscopy. genotypes for alu insertion polymorphisms (a1/a1, a1/a2 and a2/a2) were described...

OBJECTIVES To test the outcome of sonotubometric measurement in children with otitis media with effusion (OME) before and after insertion of ventilation tubes. DESIGN Eustachian tube ventilatory function was tested in children with OME. To test validity, sonotubometric testing took place before insertion of ventilation tubes (ie, glue ear) and 1 week and 3 months after grommet insertion (ie, ...

abstract export of nonoil goods in economic activities is so important and its effect on economic and comparative growth is undeniable. so, emphasize on agricultural sector and development of export in this sector prepares good conditions, for iran, to be present at international markets relying its advantages. the study tries to recognize necessary policies to enhance agricultural export poten...

background and objectives: enteropathogenic escherichia coli (epec) strains can be detected by serogrouping and the presence of enterocyte attaching- effacing (eae) gene. most epec strains belong to a certain o antigenic group. locus of enterocyte effacement (lee) pathogenicity island contains the eae gene and secretory proteins (esps) that introduce the attaching-effacing lesion. lee inserted ...
