In this paper, we have proposed a restricted shared protection (RSP) scheme that provides restriction on the sharing of some of the backup light paths to increase the reliability of the protection in optical network. From the reliability theory, we have proved that the reliability in RSP network is more than that of existing shared protection (SP) network. As failure rate increases, the reliabi...

Graph products are characterized by the existence of non-trivial equivalence relations on the edge set of a graph that satisfy a so-called square property. We investigate here a generalization, termed RSP-relations. The class of graphs with non-trivial RSP-relations in particular includes graph bundles. Furthermore, RSP-relations are intimately related with covering graph constructions. For K2,...

The W3C RDF Stream Processing (RSP) community has proposed a common model and a language for querying RDF streams. However, the current RSP systems significantly differ from each other in terms of performance. In this paper, we propose a unified interface for optimizing a continuous query in heterogeneous RSP systems. To enhance the performance of RSP, a unified interface decomposes a query, re...

The Responder (Rsp) locus of Drosophila melanogaster, the target locus of segregation distortion, is a satellite DNA array. This repeat array imparts some fitness advantage to the chromosomes bearing it. In this paper, we report the following three related molecular properties of this satellite repeat: (1) Sequence-directed curvature--On a polyacrylamide gel, Rsp-containing fragments migrate sl...

A new method for improving the optimization performance of a state-of-the-art differential evolution (DE) variant is proposed in this paper. The technique can increase exploration by adopting long-tailed property Cauchy distribution, which helps algorithm generate trial vector with great diversity. Compared to previous approaches, approach perturbs target instead mutant based on jumping rate. W...

The period estimation and periodic decomposition of a signal are the long-standing problems in the field of signal processing and biomolecular sequence analysis. To address such problems, we introduce the Ramanujan subspace pursuit (RSP) based on the Ramanujan subspace. As a greedy iterative algorithm, the RSP can uniquely decompose any signal into a sum of exactly periodic components, by selec...

BACKGROUND The atrial defibrillation threshold (ADFT) energy of the standard lead configuration, right atrial appendage (RAA) to coronary sinus (CS), was reduced by >50% with the addition of a third electrode traversing the atrial septum in a previous study. This study determined whether the ADFT would be lowered by a more clinically practical third electrode placed in the right atrium along th...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The quality of hospital care for stroke varies, particularly in rural areas. In 2007, funding to improve stroke care became available as part of the Rural Stroke Project (RSP) in New South Wales (Australia). The RSP included the employment of clinical coordinators to establish stroke units or pathways and protocols, and more clinical staff. We aimed to describe the effect...

Surfactant protein (SP) C metabolism was evaluated in vivo by measurements of the clearance of bovine native SP-C (nSP-C) and a recombinant SP-C (rSP-C) in rabbits and mice and in vitro by the uptake into MLE-12 cells. rSP-C is the 34-amino acid human sequence with phenylalanine instead of cysteine in positions 4 and 5 and isoleucine instead of methionine in position 32. Alveolar clearances of ...
