In a recent paper, we have studied associative realizations of the noncommutative extended Snyder model, obtained by including Lorentz generators (tensorial coordinates) and their conjugated momenta. this extend result to also incorporate covariant realization $\kappa$-Poincar\'e spacetime. We obtain coproduct, star product twist in Weyl-ordered realization, first order noncommutativity paramet...

The generalized traveling salesman problem (GTSP) is an extension of the well-known traveling salesman problem. In GTSP, we are given a partition of cities into groups and we are required to find a minimum length tour that includes exactly one city from each group. The aim of this paper is to present a new memetic algorithm for GTSP which clearly outperforms the state-of-the-art memetic algorit...

background: in myocardial perfusion spect imaging, images are degraded by photon attenuation, the distance-dependent collimator, detector response and photons scatter. filters greatly affect quality of nuclear medicine images materials and methods: a phantom simulating heart left ventricle was built. about 1mci of 99mtc was injected into the phantom. images were taken from this phantom. some fi...

Our target article (Robinson-Cimpian, Lubienski, Ganley, & Copur-Gencturk, 2014) used nationally representative data to examine the development of gender gaps in math achievement. We found that when boys and girls demonstrate equivalent math test performance and are perceived by their teachers to be equally well behaved and engaged with the material, teachers tend to rate girls as less proficie...
