Phase-encoded designs advanced the early development of functional MRI, enabling the "killer app" of retinotopic mapping, which helped demonstrate fMRI's value to a skeptical scientific public. The design, also called "the traveling wave", remains in wide use today, due to its ability to easily measure neural activity in a parameterized set of experimental conditions. In phase-encoded designs, ...

Remote sensing systems are critical tools used for characterizing the geological and ecological composition of the seafloor. However, creating comprehensive and detailed maps of ocean and coastal environments has been hindered by the high cost of operating ship- and aircraft-based sensors. While a number of groups (e.g., academic research, government resource management, and private sector) are...

Minimization of the execution time of an iterative application in a heterogeneous parallel computing environment requires an appropriate mapping scheme for matching and scheduling the subtasks of a given application onto the processors. Often, some of the characteristics of the application subtasks are unknown a priori or change from iteration to iteration during execution-time based on the inp...

Mapping workflow applications onto parallel platforms is a challenging problem, even for simple application patterns such as pipeline graphs. Several antagonistic criteria should be optimized, such as throughput and latency (or a combination). Typical applications include digital image processing, where images are processed in steady-state mode. In this paper, we study the mapping of a particul...

The purpose of this paper is to obtain the common fixed point results for two pair of weakly compatible mapping by using common (CLR) property in partial metric space. Also we extend the very recent results which are presented in [17,  Muhammad Sarwar, Mian Bahadur Zada and Inci M. Erhan, Common Fixed Point Theorems of Integral type on Metric Spaces and application to system of functional equat...

The main objective of the paper is to state newly fixed point theorems for set-valued mappings in the framework of 0-complete partial metric spaces which speak about a location of a fixed point with respect to an initial value of the set-valued mapping by using some $C$-class functions. The results proved herein generalize, modify and unify some recent results of the existing literature. As an ...
