An innovative logic tree, Failure Expansion Tree (FET), is proposed in this paper, which improves on traditional Fault Tree Analysis (FTA). It describes a different thinking approach for risk factor identification and reliability risk assessment. By providing a more comprehensive and objective methodology, the rather subjective nature of FTA node discovery is significantly reduced and the resul...

Let G1 and G2 be simple graphs and let n1 = |V (G1)|, m1 = |E(G1)|, n2 = |V (G2)| and m2 = |E(G2)|. In this paper we derive sharp upper and lower bounds for the number of spanning trees τ in the Cartesian product G1 G2 of G1 and G2. We show that: τ(G1 G2) ≥ 2(n1−1)(n2−1) n1n2 (τ(G1)n1) n2+1 2 (τ(G2)n2) n1+1 2 and τ(G1 G2) ≤ τ(G1)τ(G2) [ 2m1 n1 − 1 + 2m2 n2 − 1 ](n1−1)(n2−1) . We also characteri...

The discovery of new drugs requires the development of improved animal models for drug testing. The Chinese tree shrew is considered to be a realistic candidate model. To assess the potential of the Chinese tree shrew for pharmacological testing, we performed drug target prediction and analysis on genomic and transcriptomic scales. Using our pipeline, 3,482 proteins were predicted to be drug ta...

The \fractional tree" algorithm for broadcasting and reduction is introduced. Its communication pattern interpolates between two well known patterns | sequential pipeline and pipelined binary tree. The speedup over the best of these simple methods can approach two for large systems and messages of intermediate size. For networks which are not very densely connected the new algorithm seems to be...

We propose a 3D colour point cloud processing pipeline to count apples on individual apple trees in trellis structured orchards. Fruit counting at the tree level requires separating trees, which is challenging dense employ clouds acquired from leaf-off orchard winter period, where branch structure visible, delineate crowns. localise harvest period. Alignment of two enables mapping locations del...

Answering a question raised by Luis Pereira, we show that a continuous tree-like scale can exist above a supercompact cardinal. We also show that the existence of a continuous tree-like scale at אω is consistent with Martin’s Maximum.

The heavy involvement of the Arabic internet users resulted in spreading data written language and creating a vast research area regarding natural processing (NLP). Sentiment analysis is growing field that great importance to everyone considering high added potential for decision-making predicting upcoming actions using texts produced social networks. used microblogging websites, especially Twi...
