We study the problem of non-preemptive scheduling to minimize energy consumption for devices that allow dynamic voltage scaling. Specifically, consider a device that can process jobs in a non-preemptive manner. The input consists of (i) the set R of available speeds of the device, (ii) a set J of jobs, and (iii) a precedence constraint Π among J . Each job j in J , defined by its arrival time a...

This review especially describes the dangerous pathogens research program in Azerbaijan (AJ) funded by the US Defense Threat Reduction Agency under the Cooperative Biological Engagement Program (CBEP) from 2011 through 2015. The objectives of the CBEP are to prevent the proliferation of biological weapons; to consolidate and secure collections of dangerous pathogens in central repositories; to ...

The Deligne-Simpson problem (DSP) (resp. the weak DSP) is formulated like this: give necessary and sufficient conditions for the choice of the conjugacy classes Cj ⊂ GL(n,C) or cj ⊂ gl(n,C) so that there exist irreducible (resp. with trivial centralizer) (p + 1)-tuples of matrices Mj ∈ Cj or Aj ∈ cj satisfying the equality M1 . . .Mp+1 = I or A1+ . . .+Ap+1 = 0. The matrices Mj and Aj are inter...

The problem of existence and uniqueness of polynomial solutions of the Lamé differential equation A(x)y′′ + 2B(x)y′ + C(x)y = 0, where A(x), B(x) and C(x) are polynomials of degree p + 1, p and p − 1, is under discussion. We concentrate on the case when A(x) has only real zeros aj and, in contrast to a classical result of Heine and Stieltjes which concerns the case of positive coefficients rj i...

Compartmentalization of the plasma membrane in a cell is fundamental for its proper functions. In this study, we present evidence that mammalian Fat4 and Dachsous1 cadherins regulate the apical plasma membrane organization in the embryonic cerebral cortex. In neural progenitor cells of the cortex, Fat4 and Dachsous1 were concentrated together in a cell-cell contact area positioned more apically...

Abstrakt: V príspevku sú zhrnuté priebežné výsledky aplikovaného výskumu v oblasti spracovania prirodzeného jazyka v úlohách orientovaných na výskum a vývoj modulov rečových rozhraní medzi človekom a strojom, ktorý prebieha v Laboratóriu rečových a mobilných technológií na KEMT FEI TU v Košiciach. Zahrnutie hovorenej reči, ako najprirodzenejšieho komunikačného nástroja medzi l’ud’mi, má svoje n...
