It is often necessary to divide a certain amount of money between n participants i e to assign to each participant a certain portion wi of the whole sum so that w wn In some situations from the fairness requirements we can uniquely determine these weights wi However in some other situations general considerations do not allow us to uniquely determine these weights we only know the intervals w i...

Objective(s): The placenta provides nutrients and oxygen to embryo and removes waste products from embryo’s blood. As far as we know, the effects of exposure to Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz) signals on placenta have not been evaluated. Hence, we examined the effect of prenatal exposure to Wi-Fi signals on anti-oxidant capacity, expressions of CDKNA1, and GADD45a as well as apoptosis...

Consider the alphabet A and define A∗ as the set of words over A. Define a vector of sequences of subsets of N as ~u = (u1, u2, . . . , uk). Consider a word w ∈ A∗. Define their to be an embedding of ~u in w, ~u ≤ w if there is some i such that, wi ∈ uj , wi+1 ∈ uj+1, . . . wi+k−1 ∈ uj+k−1. Define a word that avoids the vector ~u as a word where there is no such i, such that wi ∈ uj , wi+1 ∈ uj...

A reduced ground plane diamond shaped multiband microstrip slot antenna is proposed. The antenna is designed with two symmetrical slots to form the diamond shape and the patch is fed with a microstripline. The slots make the antenna to have multiple resonances to operate in the frequency bands of 2.15 GHz to 7.8 GHz with a peak gain of 6.09 dB at 6.83 GHz and above 2 dB in all operating bands a...

In Hierarchical Multi-label Classification (HMC), rich hierarchical information is used to improve classification performance. Global approaches learn a single model for the whole class hierarchy [3, 6]. Local approaches introduce hierarchical information to the local prediction results of all the local classifiers to obtain the global prediction results for all the nodes [2, 5]. In this paper,...

This paper studies optimal matroid partitioning problems for various objective functions. In the problem, we are given a finite set E and k weighted matroids (E, Ii, wi), i = 1, . . . , k, and our task is to find a minimum partition (I1, . . . , Ik) of E such that Ii ∈ Ii for all i. For each objective function, we give a polynomial-time algorithm or prove NP-hardness. In particular, for the cas...

W i-Fi—consisting of the IEEE 802-11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g technologies—has proven to be a fast wireless-networking approach that is relatively easy and inexpensive to implement. The technology is particularly popular in North America and Asia. About 21 million Wi-Fi (short for wireless fidelity) cards will ship worldwide this year, and 33 million will ship in 2004, said Gemma Paulo, senior an...
