We investigate the multicritical behavior of three-dimensional Z_2 gauge Higgs model, at point (MCP) its phase diagram, where one first-order transition line and two continuous Ising-like lines meet. The duality properties model determine some features MCP located along self-dual line. Moreover, we argue that system develops a XY MCP, which is controlled by stable fixed Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson f...

MCP (Modified Critical-Path) algorithm [1] schedules Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) with communication costs onto a bounded number of processors. It is one of the six most popular algorithms in this category and performs the best among them [2]. MCP has many implementations during the last decade, while most of them did not implement it efficiently. In this paper, we present the methods to redu...

an investigation was carried out to study the effect of sole heat treatment and sole 1- methyl cyclo propine (1- mcp) as well as in combination on storage quality of strawberries. the factorial experiment was conducted using a completely randomized design of three replications. treatments included heat treatment at two levels (room teperature, 45°c for 3h) and 1- mcp at two levels (0, 1µl l-1)....

Micro-channel plate photomultiplier tube (MCP-PMT) is a kind of photosensitive device with single photon detection capability and great time resolution, which also called Fast-PMT (FPMT). The characteristic MCP makes the MCP-PMT capable reaching spatial resolution multi-anodes. With experience successfully R&D 20-inch MCP-PMT, researchers in IHEP are now developing multi-anodes FPMT resolut...

Because of their effects on monocytes, monocyte chemotactic proteins-1 and -2 (MCP-1 and MCP-2) may participate in the pathophysiology of sepsis. We measured circulating MCP-1 and MCP-2 levels in 42 septic patients having positive local or blood cultures. MCP-1 and MCP-2 levels were elevated in 24 (57%) and 25 (59%) of 42 septic patients, respectively, compared with healthy volunteers. Both pat...
