The scalability of SAT to very large problems has been achieved in the last ten years, due to substantially improved encodings, SAT solvers, and algorithms for scheduling the runs of SAT solvers. This has lead to SAT-based planners that are dramatically different from the earliest implementations based on the late 1990ies technology. We discuss a SATbased planning system that implements moderni...

Human subcutaneous fat tissue consists of two layers, superficial adipose tissue (SAT) and deep adipose tissue (DAT). Some recent reports suggest that a disproportionate accumulation of DAT is related to obesity-associated metabolic complications. However, the differences in adipocyte function between SAT and DAT are unclear. To clarify the differences in human adipocyte characteristics between...

The satis ability problem (SAT) is a fundamental problem in mathematical logic, constraint satisfaction, VLSI engineering, and computing theory. Methods to solve the satis ability problem play an important role in the development of computing theory and systems. In this paper, we give a BDD (Binary Decision Diagrams) SAT solver for practical asynchronous circuit design. The BDD SAT solver consi...

Constraint satisfaction deals with developing automated techniques for solving computationally hard problems in a declarative fashion. The main emphasis of this thesis is on constraint satisfaction techniques for the propositional satisfiability problem (SAT). As solving techniques for propositional satisfiability have rapidly progressed during the last 15 years, implementations of decision pro...

In recent years backtrack search SAT solvers have been the subject of dramatic improvements. These improvements allowed SAT solvers to successfully replace BDDs in many areas of formal verification, and also motivated the development of many new challenging problem instances, many of which too hard for the current generation of SAT solvers. As a result, further improvements to SAT technology ar...

To determine the characteristics and clinical course of patients with subacute thyroiditis (SAT) without typical signs and symptoms, clinical and pathologic records of the patients were reviewed and compared with those of patients with typical SAT. During the past 10 years, 11 of 105 patients with SAT did not have enough typical features for a diagnosis of SAT (atypical SAT). They included one ...

BACKGROUND Understanding the epidemiology of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), including roles played by different hosts, is essential for improving disease control. The African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) is a reservoir for the SAT serotypes of FMD virus (FMDV). Large buffalo populations commonly intermingle with livestock in Kenya, yet earlier studies have focused on FMD in the domestic livestock, ...

The genomes of all members of the Parvovirus genus were found to contain a small open reading frame (ORF), designated SAT, with a start codon four or seven nucleotides downstream of the VP2 initiation codon. Green fluorescent protein or FLAG fusion constructs of SAT demonstrated that these ORFs were expressed. Although the SAT proteins of the different parvoviruses are not particularly conserve...
