The COVID-19 global pandemic has adversely affected educational institutions worldwide, resulting in frequent mandatory lockdowns and social distancing rules. After waiting for a brief period, most organizations, including institutions, moved their operations from traditional in-class to virtual, web-based teaching-learning. As result of unprecedented change, faculty, students, administrators f...

We investigate non-stationary heat transfer in the Kipnis-Marchioro-Presutti (KMP) lattice gas model at long times one dimension when starting from a localized distribution. At large scales this initial condition can be described as delta-function, $u(x,t=0)=W \delta(x)$. characterize process by heat, transferred to right of specified point $x=X$ time $T$, $$ J=\int_X^\infty u(x,t=T)\,dx\,, and...

Article history: Received on: 10/12/2012 Revised on: 19/01/2013 Accepted on: 15/02/2013 Available online: 27/2/2013 A rapid and specific RP-HPLC method with DAD at 30C was developed and validated for the determination of quercetin (QN) and kaempferol (KMP) as marker compounds in the extract of Melastoma malabathrichum leaves. Separation was performed using Hypersil GOLD C8 column with acetonit...

OBJECTIVE Describing the efficacy and achievements of the kangaroo mothers' programme (KMP) regarding preterm or low-birth-weight babies' health and development in Hospital San Rafael in Tunja from November 2007 to December 2009. METHODS This was a retrospective observational cohort study; 374 infants born prematurely or having low-birth-weight were included to assess household socio-demograp...

The dominated hypervolume (or S-metric) is a commonly accepted quality measure for comparing approximations of Pareto fronts generated by multi-objective optimizers. Since optimizers exist, namely evolutionary algorithms, that use the S-metric internally several times per iteration, a fast determination of the S-metric value is of essential importance. This work describes how to consider the S-...

Probably the two best-known exact string matching algorithms are the linear-time algorithm of Knuth, Morris and Pratt (KMP), and the fast on average algorithm of Boyer and Moore (BM). The efficiency of these algorithms is based on using a suitable failure function. When a mismatch occurs in the currently inspected text position, the purpose of a failure function is to tell how many positions th...
