Vehicle routing problems are well-known combinational optimization problems with considerable economic significance. Considering the vehicle routing problem with limited capacity on tree is a problem that often naturally arises in railway, river, and rural road networks. In this paper, we describe an artificial immune system that is distributed, robust, dynamic, diverse and adaptive. It capture...

We show that in the case when the set of vector pairs that occur at the input of a combinational network in the system environment is restricted (as it is for most applications), the information on such restrictions should be accounted for when evaluating the quality of testing delay faults, especially if the test sequence “mimics” the normal operation, i.e. if only those vector pairs that may ...

To create a combinational ATPG model for an acyclic sequential circuit, all unbalanced fanouts, i.e., fanouts reconverging with different sequential depths, are moved toward primary inputs using a retiming-like transformation. All flipflops are then shorted and unbalanced primary input fanouts are split as additional primary inputs. A combinational test vector for a fault in this model is conve...

Streaming video quality dependents in part upon the video encoding process. The Frequency Domain Motion Estimation process is commonly used to accelerate the entire video encoding process. It is used to reduce the encoding time by increasing the Motion Estimation Time Saving. The Combinational-Discrete Cosine Transform consumes most of the time of the Frequency Domain Motion Estimation video en...

The forecasting to mid-long term load is important because it can provide important evidence to the power planning. Traditional forecast techniques apply a single forecaster to carry out the task. However, this forecaster might not be the best for all situations or databases. A combinational model on the basis of Support Vector Machine (SVM) theory is proposed in this paper. During the process ...

Irinotecan, a standard of care therapy for CRC, elicits cytotoxic effects by generating double strand breaks resulting in DNA damage. The activation of the ATM pathway plays a fundamental role in regulating the cellular response and repair to DNA damage. The objective of this preclinical study was to determine whether ATM inhibition would enhance sensitivity to irinotecan treatment. Treatment e...

Narendra Shenoy Richard Rudell Synopsys Inc., 700 E. Middle eld Road, Mountain View CA 94043 Abstract Retiming is a technique for optimizing sequential circuits. It repositions the registers in a circuit leaving the combinational cells untouched. The objective of retiming is to nd a circuit with the minimum number of registers for a speci ed clock period. More than ten years have elapsed since ...
