Spanning trees are widely used in interconnection networks for routing, broadcasting, fault-tolerance, and securely delivering messages, as well parallel distributed computing. The problem of efficiently finding a maximal set independent spanning (ISTs) is still open arbitrary (general) topologies (graphs). first contribution this paper presenting two efficient methods that solve the Eisenstein...

Characterization of acoustic and thermal properties of thin ( 1 pm) polymeric films either free standing or used as’ coatings is -of great technological importance for the polymer, microelectronics, and biomedical industries. The ideal method for doing this would be noninvasive and would be applicable to films in their ha1 configurations or during fabrication and curing. A rapid, noninvasive ch...

The Income Stabilisation Tool (IST), which was recently added to the European Common Agricultural Policy's risk management toolkit, is a mutual fund that aims at stabilising farmers' income. We investigate drivers of participation in an IST for apple sector Autonomous Province Trento Italy, only region has operationalised Union. Our analysis based on theoretical framework Unified Theory Use and...

Considerando os vários ganhos que o aumento da longevidade tem proporcionado nas últimas décadas no Brasil, prolongamento vida sexual é um ponto merecedor de destaque. Entretanto, as ocorrências práticas sexuais desprotegidas têm contribuído para essa população se torne vulnerável às infecções sexualmente transmissíveis (ISTs). Objetivo: O objetivo desse estudo foi descrever a epidemiologia pes...

A key challenge of infrared small target segmentation (ISTS) is to balance false negative pixels (FNs) and positive (FPs). Traditional methods combine FNs FPs into a single objective by weighted sum, the optimization process decided one actor. Minimizing with same strategy leads antagonistic decisions. To address this problem, we propose competitive game framework (pixelGame) from novel perspec...

There is a well-established trend towards the effective use of the Broadband (BB) telecommunication facilities. Information Society Technologies (IST) is impacting our lives. Foresight on IST in the European Research Area (FISTERA) has been producing scenarios for studying the possible situation in Europe in 2015 and beyond. In particular the Workshops held in Seville, in June 2004 [1] and in M...

OBJECTIVE Acceptable noise level (ANL) has been established as a method to quantify the acceptance of background noise while listening to speech presented at the most comfortable level. The aim of the present study was to generate Danish, Swedish, and a non-semantic version of the ANL test and investigate normal-hearing Danish and Swedish subjects' performance on these tests. DESIGN ANL was m...
