Background: Interferons are some kind of natural cytokines which express in response to a variety of antigens including viral RNA, bacterial products, and tumor proteins. Interferon beta is used in the treatment of autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis. Moreover, this drug inhibits cellular proliferation as well as angiogenesis and as a result, helps to cure cancer. In this research, i...

We address the problem of off-line fault tolerant scheduling of an algorithm onto a multiprocessor architecture with distributed memory and provide a generic algorithm which solves this problem. We take into account two kinds of failures: fail-silent and omission. The basic technique we use is the replication of operations and data communications. We then discuss the principles which govern the...

Let {pm(wα)}m be the sequence of the polynomials orthonormal w.r.t. the Sonin-Markov weight wα(x) = e−x 2 |x|. The authors study extended Lagrange interpolation processes essentially based on the zeros of pm(wα)pm+1(wα), determining the conditions under which the Lebesgue constants, in some weighted uniform spaces, are optimal.
