Biological sequence comparison is a time consuming task on a Von Neuman computer. The addition of dedicated hardware for parallelizing the comparison algorithms results in a reduction of several orders of magnitude in the execution time. This paper presents and compares different dedicated approaches, based on the parallelization of the algorithms on linear arrays of processors.

A new family of bivariate means is defined and investigated. Members of that family are generated by the Schwab-Borchardt mean. Comparison results involving new means and the second Neuman mean are established. In particular, two means introduced and studied by J. Sándor and Z. Yang belong to a new class of means.

Sharp bounds for the Neuman-Sándor mean and for the logarithmic mean are established. The bounding quantities are the one-parameter bivariate means called the p-means. In this paper best values of the parameters of the bounding means are obtained. Mathematics subject classification (2010): 26E60, 26D07, 26D20.

In this paper, we present the sharp upper and lower bounds for the Neuman means SAC and SCA in terms of the the arithmetic mean A and contraharmonic mean C . The given results are the improvements of some known results. Mathematics subject classification (2010): 26E60.

A list of species of the water mitegenus Lebertia Neuman, 1880 known from Turkey is provided, based on bibliographical data and results from recent field work, mainly in the Southwestern part of the country. We describe one new species, Lebertia martinisp. n. and report new 28 locality records from 6 provinces for the three previously known species.

We present a local exponential fitting hybridized mixed finiteelement method for convection-diffusion problem on a bounded domain with mixed Dirichlet Neuman boundary conditions. With a new technique that interpretes the algebraic system after static condensation as a bilinear form acting on certain lifting operators we prove an a priori error estimate on the Lagrange multipliers that requires ...

This article describes an adaptation of the Neuman Systems Model to the care of the hospitalized preschool child. This was done to unite the physical care of the hospitalized preschool child with other aspects of his development and to describe the causes and prevention of stresses of hospitalization for this child.

One protocol (called the primary protocol) is independent of other protocols (jointly called the secondary protocol) if the question whether the primary protocol achieves a security goal never depends on whether the secondary protocol is in use. In this paper, we use multiprotocol strand spaces ([27], cf. [28]) to prove that two cryptographic protocols are independent if they use encryption in ...
