In this paper, we consider the problems of multipacket batch and balanced routing on d-dimensional (constant d 2) torus and mesh-connected processor arrays. We present new \hot-potato" routing algorithms which achieve the best known average-case and worst-case time bounds for both problems on all such networks. In particular, our results include the following: 1. Algorithms that route almost al...

An experiment was conducted to find out variation in isolated Rhizoctonia solani based on radial mycelial growth and sclerotial production. Five isolates of Rhizoctonia solani representing five clusters group were selected and were grown at different levels of temperature and pH on potato dextrose agar (PDA). It was observed that optimum temperature and pH for growth and scierotial production v...

We give the n! permutations of [n] = {1,2, . . . , n} a cyclic order inspired by the children’s game of Hot Potato. Our order is a transposition Gray code, meaning that consecutive permutations differ by a single transposition. Furthermore, each transposition is restricted in two ways: (1) It must transpose value n (the “hot potato”); (2) It must transpose positions that are circularly adjacent...

An empirical power model of the switch-to-switch links and the hot potato switch in Nostrum has been developed based on an analytical analysis and experiments with Synopsys Power Compiler. The model takes into account all possible variations of bit patterns of packets travelling through the network. It has been validated against Power Compiler simulations and is accurate within a few percent. T...

In k routing each of the n processing units of an n n mesh connected computer initially holds packet which must be routed such that any processor is the destination of at most k packets This problem re ects practical desire for routing better than the popular routing of permutations k routing also has implications for hot potato worm hole routing which is of great importance for real world syst...

: Fried products derived from potato, particularly potato crisp have been widely included in food basket of the households in the recent years in Iran. Potato crisp, among other products, is of great importance and is considered as competitive products. This product is in the list of the food products with high acrylamide content. Therefore, due to the nutritional importance of this product and...

Potato image segmentation is an important part of image-based potato defect detection. This paper presents a robust potato color image segmentation through a combination of a fuzzy rule based system, an image thresholding based on Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization and morphological operators. The proposed potato color image segmentation is robust against variation of background, distance and ...

In sub-Saharan Africa, sweetpotato (Impomoea batatas L.) production is greatly constrained by sweetpotato virus disease (SPVD) complex. This study was conducted to assess the incidence of viruses in healthy-looking sweetpotato in Uganda and to optimise modern technologies for virus diagnosis. A collection of healthy-looking sweetpotato vines from central Uganda were serologically assayed for sw...
