introduction: application of light transmitting posts to restore greatly damaged endodontically treated teeth has been increased. it is suspected that light intensity decreases as it passes throughout different materials. this can reduce the degree of conversion required for adequate bond strength throughout the length of these posts. the objective of this study was to evaluate the amount of li...

De Bruijn graphs, both directed and undirected, have received considerable attention as architecture for interconnection networks. In this paper, we focus on undirected de Bruijn networks of radix d and dimension n, denoted by U B(d; n). We rst discuss the shortest-path routing problem. We present properties of the shortest paths between any two vertices of U B(d; n) and propose two shortest-pa...

in this paper the problem of minimizing the total transmitting power subject to a fixedtotal bit rate in ofdm systems is considered. upper bounds on transmitting power and bit rate ofeach subcarrier can also be taken into account. in practice, the number of bits of each subcarriershould be integer and nonnegative. in this paper an analytical optimal solution is derived for thecase of assuming t...

the chemical nature of secretion by the stigma and transmitting tissue in datura stramoniumwas studied by light microscopy using sudan black b, coomasie brilliant blue (cbb), toluidine blue,safranin, and pas. the stigmatic secretion reacted positively for lipids. during development, stigmaticcells became separated and intracellular lipids were transferred to intercellular spaces where theygradu...

Metabotropic glutamate receptors play major roles in the activation of excitatory synapses in the central nerve system. We determined the crystal structure of the entire extracellular region of the group II receptor and that of the ligand-binding region of the group III receptor. A comparison among groups I, II, and III provides the structural basis that could account for the discrimination of ...

To improve the performance of video compression produced by the previous solution, we propose a region based texture approximation technique. There are situations where the tiny part of the image would vary and transmitting the entire image will not necessary. To overcome such problem, the method splits the video into frames and for each successive frame the method splits the frame into number ...

This paper proposes a new video coding system which transmits functionally layered data for “awareness” communication. The system can display “awareness”, which is defined as a “blurred” and “semi-transparent” person region, by transmitting minimum data necessary for displaying the awareness. The minimum data contains (1) person region (foreground) and (2) lower frequency band signals of the re...

Estimated transmitting ability for milk production calculated from only first lactation records was regressed on milk proofs of the sire and maternal grandsire and either estimated transmitting ability of the dam calculated from only first lactations or estimated transmitting ability of the dam calculated from all lactations of a data set in which all cows were required to have milk records of ...

This work concerns the behavior of “good” (capacity achieving) codes in several multi-user settings in the Gaussian regime, in terms of their minimum mean-square error (MMSE) behavior. The settings investigated in this context include the Gaussian wiretap channel, the Gaussian broadcast channel (BC) and the Gaussian BC with confidential messages (BCC). In particular this work addresses the effe...
