The problem of organizing the temporal behavior of digital systems is discussed. This problem is mainly associated with providing the interface between physical (natural) and logical (artificial) time. The most common method of interfacing is based on a system clock that removes physical time from the behavior models A number of algorithms that can be easily formulated in logical time present a...

The logistics sector faces substantial challenges in meeting customer demands for higher service quality, speed and flexibility under conditions of continued growth in world trade and worldwide transportation movements, increasing distances and vulnerabilities of the supply chain. Additional challenges relate to the economic and environmental sustainability of logistics operations. While a lot ...

This study compared control delays computed by HCM (using HCS software), Synchro, PASSER II, PASSER IV, and CORSIM for an urban arterial. Base and optimized conditions were studied. In the base condition, the existing signal settings and traffic volumes were modeled in HCS and Synchro under three scenarios: actuated-coordinated, actuated-uncoordinated and pre-timed traffic controller. For the b...

Reconstructing synteny blocks is an essential step in comparative genomics studies. Different methods were already developed to answer various needs such as genome (re-)annotation, identification of duplicated regions and whole genome duplication events or estimation of rearrangement rates. We present SynChro, a tool that reconstructs synteny blocks between pairwise comparisons of multiple geno...

AbsIracfAll mobile robots suffer from odometry error. Relative localization from odometry has both the systematic and the non-systematic errors. However, once a precise system error model and its parameters are given, the accuracy of odometry can be remarkably improved. Most previous works on this effort focused on the differential drive robots with little attention to the other types of mobile...

I N the past few years investigations have been made on DNA replication during germination of Bacillus subtiZis spores in $bromouracil (5-BU) containing medium (YOSHIKAWA 1965; OISHI and SUEOKA 1965; and WAKE 1967). Germination of spores in 5-BU containing medium has also been used for mapping of markers by the synchro-transfer method ( OISHI and SUEOKA 1965 and O’SULLIVAN and SUEOKA 1967). In ...

Nowadays, the effects of globalization impacted on the international trade that is growing faster. To confirm this trend, the volume of world trade continued to grow in the 2015, according to the estimates provided by the World Trade Organization. In this context, the challenge for transportation is to overcome the complexities related to higher service quality, time-sensitive delivery, the inc...

We discuss the time discrete parametrized dynamics of two coupled re current neural networks General conditions for the existence of synchro nized dynamics are derived for these systems and it is demonstrated that also the coupling of totally di erent network structures can result in peri odic quasiperiodic as well as chaotic dynamics constrained to a synchro nization manifoldM Stability of the...

Synchro-Shockley dislocations, as zonal dislocation, are the major carrier of plasticity in Laves phases at high temperatures. The motion synchro-Shockley dislocations is composed localized transition events, such kink-pair nucleation and propagation, which possess small activation volumes, presumably leading to sensitive temperature strain rate dependence on Peierls stress. However, thermally ...
