Application mapping is one of the key problems of Network-on-Chip (NoC) design. It maps the cores of application to the processing elements of the NoC topology. This paper presents a novel approach for NoC application mapping, which uses adaptive genetic algorithm (AGA) in the mapping. The proposed approach adaptively varies the probabilities of crossover and mutation operators in genetic algor...

Let f(x) be a mapping f : GF(p) → GF(p), where p is prime and GF(p) is the finite field with p elements. A mapping f is called differentially k-uniform if k is the maximum number of solutions x ∈ GF(p) of f(x + a) − f(x) = b, where a, b ∈ GF(p) and a = 0. A 1-uniform mapping is called perfect nonlinear (PN). In this paper, we propose an approach for assurance of perfect nonlinearity which invol...

The mapping class group of a Heegaard splitting is the group of connected components in the set of automorphisms of the ambient manifold that map the Heegaard surface onto itself. We find examples of elements of the mapping class group that are periodic, reducible and pseudo Anosov on the Heegaard surface, but are isotopy trivial in the ambient manifold. We prove structural theorems about the f...

The accurate mapping of clones derived from genomic regions containing complex arrangements of repeated elements presents special problems for DNA sequencers. Recent advances in the automation of optical mapping have enabled us to map a set of 16 BAC clones derived from the DAZ locus of the human Y chromosome long arm, a locus in which the entire DAZ gene as well as subsections within the gene ...

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) have been used for a huge number of tasks ranging from commercial, military and research areas etc, while the fundamental function of a successful AUV is its localization and mapping ability. This report aims to review the relevant elements of localization and mapping for AUVs. First, a brief introduction of the concept and the historical development of AUV...

Restriction mapping involves cleaving DNA clones at specific sites with enzymes to produce a set of fragments. These fragments have characteristic lengths which together constitute a multiset (a set allowing repeated elements) called the “fingerprint” of the clone. Clones that overlap with each other share common restriction fragments as long as the region of overlap contains at least two enzym...

Background and Aim: Brain mapping is a study of the anatomy and function of the CNS (central nervous system). Brain mapping has many techniques and these techniques are permanently changing and updating. From the beginning, brain mapping was invasive and for brain mapping, electrical stimulation of the exposed brain was needed. However, nowadays brain mapping does not require electrical stimula...

The paper establishes a computational enclosure of the solution of a nonlinear complementarity problem x ≥ 0, l(x) ≥ 0, x l(x) = 0, where l(x) = Mx+ Φ(x) is a so-called almost linear mapping with an H-matrix M with positive diagonal elements and an increasing diagonal mapping Φ. The procedure also delivers a simple proof for the uniqueness of the solution. Mathematics Subject Classification (20...

Let I be a finite or infinite index set, let X be a topological space, and let Yi, φNi i∈I be a family of FC-spaces. For each i ∈ I, letAi : X → 2i be a set-valued mapping. Some new existence theorems of maximal elements for a set-valued mapping and a family of set-valued mappings involving a better admissible set-valuedmapping are established under noncompact setting of FC-spaces. Our results ...

The dog (Canis familiaris) was chosen for sequencing both for its unusual potential for disease gene mapping and for its clear value for mammalian comparative sequence analysis. The current 7.5x assembly generated from a female boxer is of high quality and has already proven useful for identification of regulatory elements . The SNP map accompanying the genome sequence has also been utilized to...
