We study three basic price competition games engaged in by an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and its competitive original design manufacturer (ODM): a simultaneous pricing game, an OEM-pricingearly game, and an ODM-pricing-early game. The ODM provides contract manufacturing service to the OEM and competes with this OEM in the consumer market by selling self-branded products. We consider ...

The main target of this research paper is to propose an algorithm to implement data security using encryption and decryption method in binary sequence of original text message. The binary sequence of message is converted into DNA sequence, which consists of nucleotide letter A,T,G,C., then by using random function, which generates the sequence of random numbers for each nucleotide. The generate...

Purpose: To analyze the components of the acoustic signal of swallowing using a specific software. Methods: Fourteen healthy subjects ranging in age from 20 to 50 years (mean age 31±10 years), were evaluated. Data collection consisted on the simultaneous capture of the swallowing audio with a microphone and of the swallowing videofluoroscopic image. The bursts of the swallowing acoustic signal ...

Resumo A displasia broncopulmonar (DBP) é multifactorial. Prematuridade, doença da membrana hialina, oxigénio, ventilação mecânica, inflamação e canal arterial são alguns dos factores na sua patogénese Objectivo: Avaliar a prevalência da DBP e seus factores de risco em cinco unidades portuguesas, para implementar boas práticas no tratamento deste doentes. Material e métodos: 256 recém-nascidos ...

in this paper the author considers a general method, based on time domain samples for spectral manipulation of time limited signals. first, the original signal is divided into some frames in the time domain. then, by presenting a suitable theoretical and computational algorithm, and using a method for improving the speed of convergence, we find the local bandwidth of each frame; thereby, each f...

In each case, 0~’ and /Y range over all ordinals smaller than 01 and p, respectively. Conway has shown, inter alia, that a suitable beginning segment of Onz is an algebraic closure of the two-element subfield (0, 11, cf. section 1. The purpose of this paper is to prove that, in this beginning segment, the field operations can be performed in an effective manner. Following Conway we distinguish ...

A target-oriented sequential pattern is a sequential pattern with a concerned itemset in the end of pattern. A time-interval sequential pattern is a sequential pattern with time-intervals between every pair of successive itemsets. In this paper we present an algorithm to discover target-oriented sequential pattern with time-intervals. To this end, the original sequences are reversed so that the...
