A queue layout of a graph consists of a total order of the vertices, and a partition of the edges into queues, such that no two edges in the same queue are nested. The minimum number of queues in a queue layout of a graph is its queue-number. A threedimensional (straight-line grid) drawing of a graph represents the vertices by points in Z and the edges by non-crossing line-segments. This paper ...

Marine saponins are naturally glycosides compounds which possess important biomedical properties such as anti-cancer, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Nevertheless, no systematic studies on the anti-inflammatory potential of brittle star saponin and its underlying mechanisms have been reported. In this study, Ophiocoma erinaceus extracted saponin was investigated for its in vitro anti-inflamm...

A prototype two-telescope stellar interferometer with a 1.5-m base line has been used to track the white-light fringes, 0.4-0.9 microm, from Polaris. Continuous fringe phase and amplitude measurements were made with ~220-photon/4-msec integration time and 1.27-cm(2) collecting area under 2-arc sec seeing conditions. The same control algorithm should be able to track fringes from an 8.7-mg star ...

We designed, implemented and assessed ALEPH, a pure example-based machine translation system. It strictly does not make any use of variables, templates or training, does not have any explicit transfer component, and does not require any preprocessing of the aligned examples. It relies on a specific operation: the resolution of analogical equations, that neutralizes translation divergences in an...

the constitutive relationships of the rubber materials that act as the main spring of a hydraulic engine mount are nonlinear. in addition to material induced nonlinearity, further nonlinearities may be introduced by mount geometry, turbulent fluid behavior, temperature, boundary conditions, decoupler action, and hysteretic behavior. in this research all influence the behavior of the system only...

The recently established NOAA Hurricane Forecast Improvement Project (HFIP) has set a 5-year goal to reduce track and intensity forecast errors by 20%, and a 10-year goal for a 50% reduction. The 10-year goal corresponds to an average error reduction of 5% per year. Figure 1 shows the annual average 48 h Atlantic track and intensity errors of the National Hurricane Center (NHC) official forecas...
