In this paper, we propose a variable depth search (VDS) algorithm for the generalized assignment problem (GAP), which is one of the representative combinatorial optimization problems, and is known to be NP-hard. The VDS is a generalization of the local search. The main idea of VDS is to change the size of the neighborhood adaptively so that the algorithm can e ectively traverse larger search sp...

C be the normalization of Γ . Let g = (d− 1)(d− 2) 2 − δ; the genus of C. We identify smooth points of Γ with the corresponding points on C. In particular, if P is a smooth point on Γ then the Weierstrass gap sequence at P is considered with respect to C. A smooth point P ∈ Γ is called an (e − 2)-inflection point if i(Γ, T ;P ) = e ≥ 3 where T is the tangent line to Γ at P (cf. Brieskorn–Knörre...

The optical transmission spectrum of [111](c) poled relaxor-based ferroelectric single crystal 0.93Pb(Zn(13)Nb(23))O(3)-0.07PbTiO(3) (PZN-0.07PT) was measured in the range of ultraviolet to near infrared. The optical absorption edge has been determined and the wavelength dependence of the absorption coefficient was calculated. The direct energy gap E(gd)=3.144 eV, indirect energy gap E(gi)=2.91...

We consider Chebyshev polynomials, Tn(z), for infinite, compact sets e ⊂ R (that is, the monic polynomials minimizing the sup–norm, ‖Tn‖e, on e). We resolve a 45+ year old conjecture of Widom that for finite gap subsets of R, his conjectured asymptotics (which we call Szegő–Widom asymptotics) holds. We also prove the first upper bounds of the form ‖Tn‖e ≤ QC(e) (where C(e) is the logarithmic ca...

A series of cells representing normal, non-tumorigenic cell lines, as well as differentiating neoplastic and undifferentiated neoplastic rat tracheal epithelial cell populations were evaluated for their ability to establish homologous and/or heterologous cell-cell gap junction communication in culture. Gap junction communication was evaluated by flow cytometric quantitation of the transfer of t...

This study investigates the major reasons for e-marketplace adoption among SMEs in their international marketing practices. Based on organizational innovation theories, resource-based view theories of the firm, and former studies in the IS adoption research, a three match-based framework was proposed for IS innovation adoption among organizations. And based on this framework, we proposed a pars...

Various studies indicate that most e-government projects have failed and there is a gap in Information Systems literature regarding a mechanism to assure their success and sustainability. This is research in-progress that is aimed at developing a framework to assure sustainability of e-government projects. The research will be conducted in Ethiopian context and a case study research design will...
