This is the second of a series of intended reports on realization of sequential machines with shift registers and on properties of shift registers. Some of the pathological cases for the shift register realization algorithms SRR/GSRR reported in the previous report are investigated here. One of the pathological cases turned out to be simple cycles, and based on the work of Yoeli, an algorithm h...

This paper considers the Shift-And approach to the problem of pattern matching in LZW compressed text, and gives a new algorithm that solves it. The algorithm is indeed fast when a pattern length is at most 32, or the word length. After an O(m + |Σ|) time and O(|Σ|) space preprocessing of a pattern, it scans an LZW compressed text in O(n + r) time and reports all occurrences of the pattern, whe...

In this paper, we systematically studied the focal shift effect in planar plasmonic slit lenses. Through theoretical derivations and numerical simulations, we found that there is a focal length shift between the traditional design model and the finite-difference time-domain simulations. The shift is not only dependent on the Fresnel number (FN) of the lens, like traditional dielectric lenses, d...

In this paper, the vibrations of thin plate in modified couple stress thermoelastic medium by using Kirchhoff- Love plate theory has been investigated. The governing equations of motion and heat conduction equation for Lord Shulman (L-S) [1] theory are written with the help of Kirchhoff- Love plate theory. The thermoelastic damping of micro-beam resonators is analyzed by using the normal mode a...

Background: Length of stay is one of the most important indicators in assessing hospital performance. A shorter stay can reduce the costs per discharge and shift care from inpatient to less expensive post-acute settings. It can lead to a greater readmission rate, better resource management, and more efficient services. Objective: This study aimed to ident...

Objective To determine the relationship between the preoperative axial length and the myopic shift over 3 years after congenital cataract surgery with primary intraocular lens implantation and other related factors. Methods In this retrospective cohort study, the axial length was measured and assigned into 2 groups (>21.5 mm and ≤21.5 mm), visual axis obscuration, laterality of cataract, age ...

Heavy-NP shift occurs when speakers prefer placing lengthy or “heavy” noun phrase direct objects in the clause-final position within a sentence rather than in the post-verbal position. Two experiments were conducted in this study, and their results suggested that having a long noun phrase affected the ordering of constituents (the noun phrase and prepositional phrase) by advanced Iranian EFL le...
