nowadays, automakers have invested in new technologies in order to improve the efficiency of their products. giant automakers have taken an important step toward achieving this objective by designing continuously variable transmission systems (cvt) to continuously adapt the power of the engine with the external load according to the optimum efficiency curve of engine and reducing fuel consumpti...

Multiblock analysis attacks the problem of how to combine data from various sources for purposes such as prediction, classification, clustering, or visual analysis. A key concept is distinction between “common” and “distinct” parts, that is, what information repeats itself across blocks unique an individual block. The statistical field multiblock holds many different approaches, which leads tre...

For every integer k 2 and graph G; consider the following natural procedure: if G has a component G0 that is not k-connected, remove G0 if jG0j k, otherwise remove a cutset U V (G0) with jU j < k; do the same with the remaining graph until only k-connected components are left or all vertices are removed. We are interested when this procedure stops after removing o (jGj) vertices. Surprisingly, ...
