A new algorithm for the linear arrangement problem is described. The goal is to produce linear arrangements of software model diagrams such that the total length of all connections is reduced as much as possible. The algorithm uses the same general numbering strategy as existing algorithms for the highly related problems of bandwidth and profile reduction but is based on a new heuristic that ad...

Shock-boundary layer interaction (SBLI) is a kind of problem which is frequently met in supersonic engine inlet flow and external flow. A detail study on mechanism of reduction of shock induced flow separation by MVG is carried out by high order implicit large eddy simulation (LES). To generate the fully developed turbulent flow, a series of turbulent profiles are given by previous DNS simulati...

chronic anemia is common in liver cirrhosis. in this setting the pathogenesis of anemia is complex and multifactorial. spur cell anemia is a serious disorder in cirrhotic patients associated with poor prognosis. liver transplantation constitutes the only therapeutic tool. we report a case of  a severe spur cell anemia in alcoholic liver cirrhosis. in the attempt to investigate the origin of the...

The dietary and environmental agent, 6-nitrochrysene (6-NC) is a powerful mammary carcinogen and mutagen in rats. It is known to be metabolized by ring-oxidation, nitro-reduction and a combination of the two pathways. In order to determine the ultimate mutagenic metabolites, we have compared the previously determined mutational profile of 6-NC in rat mammary gland [T. Boyiri, et al. (2004) Carc...
