Analysis-suitable T -splines (AS T -splines) are a mildly topological restricted subset of T -splines which are linear independent regardless of knot values [1–3]. The present paper provides some more iso-geometric analysis (IGA) oriented properties for AS T splines and generalizes them to arbitrary topology AS T -splines. First, we prove that the blending functions for analysis-suitable T -spl...

One of the greatest challenges to be faced in the fight against climate change in the construction sector is the fact that (non-traditional) conventional solutions are routinely accepted despite their high environmental impact. In particular, reinforced or mass concrete foundations are used at almost all sites, but they require a large amount of material, involve high emissions (some toxic), ar...

Transport protocols applied to WSNs have gathered increased attention in recent years due to the increased application of the WSNs for different surveillance

Wemake statistical investigations of various speech corpora to extract useful information re ecting the contents of the corpus so that we can create a sort of guidelines for selecting the most suitable corpus. A word is not separated by spaces in the Japanese text. Accordingly, we adopt n-gram counting methods to extract frequent mora sequences instead of words. A mora roughly corresponds to a ...

......The DOME project [1] is a collaboration between IBM and ASTRON, the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy, to develop a computing solution to the exascale requirements for data processing of the international “Square Kilometer Array” radio telescope. One sub-project is the development of low cost low energy consumption microservers for processing the huge amount of data generated ever...

This study defines the construct of team atmosphere and provides a framework within which causes and consequences of team atmosphere in knowledge transfer and creation can be empirically investigated. Data were collected using a survey of 363 individuals of 12 companies who worked in self-managed teams. As predicted, results indicated that a ‘high care’ atmosphere among team members favours bot...

In a group signature scheme, group members are able to sign messages on behalf of the group. Moreover, resulting signatures are anonymous and unlinkable for every verifier except for a given authority. In this paper, we mainly focus on one of the most secure and efficient group signature scheme, namely XSGS proposed by Delerablée and Pointcheval at Vietcrypt 2006. We show that it can efficientl...

This technical report describes a novel certificateless signature scheme suitable for aggregation that requires no pairing computations for signing and only 3 pairing computations for signature verification. We provide proofs for the security of single and aggregate signatures.

Often graphs are used to investigate properties of logic programs. In general, different graphs represent different kinds of information of the corresponding programs. Sometimes this information is not sufficient for solving a certain problem. In this paper we define graphs which are suitable for computing answer sets of different classes of logic programs. Intuitively, a graph associated to a ...
