The one dimension computational model of a sequential injection engine, which runs on compressed natural gas (CNG) with spark ignition, is developed for this study, to simulate the performance of gas flow pressure profile, under various speed conditions. The computational model is used to simulate and study of the steady state and transient processes of the intake manifold. The sequential injec...

background: selection of the best approach for the treatment of helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) infection that encompasses higher eradication and lower failure rates leads to a decline in its related complications and disorders. to understand the relative efficacy of new sequential therapy compared with standard triple therapy as two common regimens, we have performed a randomized, controlled t...

the current study was conducted to evaluate effects of sequential or wet feeding programs subsequent to and early meal feeding regime on performance, carcass characteristics and humoral immunity in broiler chicks. 192 ross 308 chicks (seven-day old) were allocated to four treatments at four replicates (12 chicks per plot) based on a completely randomized design. treatments were included: contro...

In an experiment on sequential rent seeking, we find that the theoretically predicted first-mover advantage does not exist empirically. Rather, a second-mover advantage can be observed. Though the subgame perfect equilibrium can not prevail in experiment, individual behavior is highly reasonable nevertheless, such that subjects appear to play a reduced form of the original game. We also observe...

As parallel machines become more widely available, many existing algorithms are being converted to take advantage of the improved speed offered by such computers. However, the method by which the algorithm is distributed is crucial towards obtaining the speed-ups required for many real-time tasks. This paper presents three parallel implementations of the Douglas-Peucker line simplification algo...

This is another in a series of invited tutorial, status and survey papers that are being regularly solicited by the PTGIT Committee on Special Papers. We invited Profess01 Fano to commit to paprr his elegant but, unelaborate explanation of the principles of sequential decoding, a scheme which is currently contending for a position as the most practical implementation to dale of Shannon’s theory...

Purpose: The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) plays an important role in cellular response to chemotherapy and radiotherapy through modulation of DNA repair. EGFR activates DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) stimulating repair ofDNA strand breaks (SB) and interstrand crosslinks (ICL).We investigated the role of EGFR in repair of ionizing radiation (IR)-induced SB independently of DNA-...
