This correspondence presents a linear assignment algorithm for solving the clustering problem. By use of the most dissimilar data as cluster representatives, a linear assignment algorithm is developed based on a linear assignment model for clustering multivariate data. The computational results evaluated using multiple performance criteria show that the clustering algorithm is very effective an...

la présente recherche, en s’appuyant sur les concepts narratologiques de gérard genette, cherche à étudier la question du point de vue dans un amour de swann de marcel proust. l’analyse minutieuse de cette question s’avère importante pour une double raison: 1. l’étude formelle de l’œuvre monumentale qu’est à la recherche du temps perdu dépasse sans aucun doute le statut d’une simple pratique de...

In this paper, we present Λ∧, a fully typed λ-calculus based on the intersection-type system discipline, which is a counterpart à la Church of the type assignment system as invented by Coppo and Dezani. The relationship between Λ∧ and the intersection type assignment system is the standard isomorphism between typed and type assignment system, and so the typed language inherits from the untyped ...

the selection of optimum support system is a key step in the successful design operation of tunneling, rock mass stabilization and minimization of plastic zone extension around a tunnel. in this context, it is not sufficient to rely only on the experiences of design engineers, but taking all effective measures and parameters is necessary to do a proper choice. in this paper, multi attribute dec...

Students learn more effectively with personally meaningful tasks. Thus, students learn more if they have a say in deciding what specific topics and examples are being discussed in class. Naturally, the instructor knows what topics are important to cover in a course and which ones might be optional. Finding the right balance between students’ preferences and the instructor’s requirements is not ...

We report here the nearly complete (1)H, (15)N and (13)C resonance assignment of the La motif and RNA recognition motif 1 of human LARP6, an RNA binding protein involved in regulating collagen synthesis.

This paper presents, formalises and classifies working time accounts (WTAs), a means of achieving flexible production capacity through the flexible organisation of working time. We propose linear programming models to plan working time, using WTA, at companies in the service industry. A computational experiment shows that the models can be solved for any planning problems of reasonable size.

Asurvey of the results described in the author’s PhD thesis (Montemanni 2001) is presented. The thesis, which was supervised by Prof. Derek H. Smith and Dr. Stuart M. Allen, has been defended in January 2002 at the University of Glamorgan (U.K.). The thesis proposes new heuristic algorithms, based on well-known metaheuristic paradigms, and new lower bounding techniques, based on linear programm...

the problem of pole assignment, also known as an eigenvalue assignment, in linear discrete-time periodic systems in discs was solved by a novel method which employs elementary similarity operations. the former methods tried to assign the points inside the unit circle while preserving the stability of the discrete time periodic system. nevertheless, now we can obtain the location of eigenvalues ...
