In large-scale supercomputers thousands of processors are connected together to their respective memory modules which controlled by several control units in parallel. Large data streams have be communicated between these and memories through interconnection networks. Multistage network (MIN) is an efficient way provide communications at a very reasonable cost. For such large systems MIN employe...

Each variable X is a new, independent Uniform [0, 1] random number. For example, T = ∅ with probability 1−p, T = (∅, ∅) with probability p(1−p)2, and T = ((∅, ∅), ∅) with probability p2(1− p). The number of vertices N is equal to twice the number of left parentheses (parents) in the expression for T , plus one. Equivalently, N is twice the number of ∅s (leaves), minus one. It can be shown that ...

Plasma lipids have been known to be altered by the within-month variations in the female hormonal system. The female hormonal system also controls the menstrual cycle in the pre-menopausal women. This study is, therefore, aimed at finding the possible effects of menopause on plasma lipids and lipoprote ins, as shown by the lipid profile. The lipid profiles of 200 post-menopausal women and 100 p...
