In Parnas et al advocate the use of relational model for doc umenting the intended behaviour of programs In this method tabular expres sions or tables are used to improve readability so that formal documentation can replace conventional documentation Parnas describes several classes of tables and provides their formal syntax and semantics In this paper an alternative more general and more homog...

A framework is presented to investigate product form expres sions for circuit or packet switching random access protocols such as multihop-CSMA. Acceptation, retransmission and delay or acceleration functions are included. The transmission times and packet lenghts are generally distributed. A concrete invariance condition on the system functions is given which guarantëes an insensitive product ...

Abiotic stresses such as salinity influence agricultural production. Plants generally respond to stimulus conditions in a complex manner involving many genes and proteins. In the evolution process, halophyte plant Aeluropus littoralis has been proven to have abiotic stress-tolerance capacity. A. littoralis is a salt-resistant halophyte providing a wealthy genetic resource for developing salinit...

Plants encounter various stresses such as drought and salinity which adversely affect growth, development and crop productivity. The expression of the genes Delta -1- pyr-roline – 5 - carboxylate synthetase (P5CS) and Betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH) extends throughout various protec-tive mechanisms in plants and allows them to adapt to unfavorable environmental condi-tions. P5CS and BADH ...

over the years, the use of plastics has complicated the problem of disposal of solid wastes. one strategy to reduce plastic waste is the use of biodegradable plastics. a group of these plastics are polyhydroxyalkanoates (phas). to date more than 250 different microorganisms are known to synthesize and accumulate pha. most pseu-domonas strains are able to accumulate mcl-pha. in previous studies,...

We present an accurate model and procedures for predicting the common physical design characteristics of standard cell layouts i e the interconnection length and the chip area The predicted results are obtained from analysis of the net list only that is no prior knowledge of the functionality of the design is used Random and opti mized placements global routing and detailed routing are each abs...

Peak detection is a basic data analysis problem which isessential in a large number of applications. In applications such asimage processing, the large computational effort to locate peaks mayprohibit operation in real-time. A Hopfield neural network is proposedfor the peak detector to solve the real-time problem. Analytical expres-sions are derivedfor input separation, ...

An electrically conductive tubular element with a thin external electri-cally coating underthe action of an unsteady electromagnetic field the radio frequency range is considered. To analyze thermal re-gime, initial-boundary problem electrodynamics for two-layer non-ferromagnetic hollow cylinder under ex-ternal non-stationary formulated. The electromag-netic given by values axial component magn...

Objective(s): The purpose of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis on human microRNAs (miRNAs) expression data of endometriosis tissue profiles versus those of normal controls and to identify novel putative diagnostic markers. Materials andMethods: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Ovid Medline were used to search for endometriosis miRNA expression profiling studies of endometriosis. The miRN...

Kinderen die geneigd zijn de intenties van anderen als vijandig te interpreteren, hebben een grotere kans om agressieve gedragsproblemen ontwikkelen. Het is dus belangrijk vroege ontwikkeling vijandige interpretatiestijl beter begrijpen. Wij onderzochten of gesprekken ouders met hun kinderen voeren over het gedrag leeftijdsgenootjes hierop invloed is. Studie 1 (N = 109, leeftijd 4-7) was observ...
