Binary black holes on quasicircular orbits with spins aligned with their orbital angular momentum have been testbeds for analytic and numerical relativity for decades, not least because symmetry ensures that such configurations ...

We are presenting a modification of the well-known Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) algorithm with additional preconditioning that aims at solving convex optimisation problems with nonlinear operator ...

This study investigates the structural behavior of precracked reinforced concrete (RC) T-beams strengthened in shear with externally bonded carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets. It reports on seven tests on ...

The results of an experimental and numerical investigation involving unstrengthened reinforced concrete (RC) T-beams and precracked RC T-beams strengthened in shear with prestressed carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) ...

I have added support for predicate dispatching, a powerful generalization of other dispatching mechanisms, to the Common Lisp Object System (CLOS). To demonstrate its utility, I used predicate dispatching to enhance Weyl, ...

Abstract Background The import of most intraperoxisomal proteins is mediated by peroxisome targeting signals at their C-termini (PTS1) or N-terminal regions (PTS2). Both signals have been integrated in subcellular location ...

This report presents a new, automatic technique to assess whether replacing a component of a softwaresystem by a purportedly compatible component may change the behavior of the system. The techniqueoperates before integrating ...

Using artificial intelligence to assist physicians in patient care has received sustained interest over the past several decades. Recently, with automated systems at most bedsides, the amount of patient information collected ...

In order to deliver the promise of Moore s Law to the enduser, compilers must make decisions that are intimately tiedto a specific target architecture. As engineers add architecturalfeatures to increase performance, systems ...

The Heart Disease according to the survey is the leading cause of death all over the world. The health sector has a lot of data, but unfortunately, these data are not well utilized. This is as a result of lack of effective ...

Liquid holdup was predicted for slug flow using the neural network toolbox available in MATLAB. Experimental data contained Liquid holdup measured at an interval of 5 seconds over a period of 12,000 time points for both ...

Surge and swab pressure computation is very important in drilling hydraulics. Most blowout problem in oil wells have been as a result of surge and swab pressures developed from running or pulling of tubular goods in ...

Alternative pre-messenger RNA splicing affects a majority of human genes and plays important roles in development and disease. Alternative splicing (AS) events conserved since the divergence of human and mouse are likely ...

Energy efficiency is paramount in the quest to achieve sustainable development in the 21st century. Statistics in recent research have shown that in many sectors in any nation’s economy, which include buildings, industries ...

Knowledge-based applications will require vastly increased computational resources to achieve their goals. We are working on the development of a VLSI Message Passing Architecture to meet this need. As a first step we ...

Decoding analysis has been applied to electrophysiology and fMRI data to study the visual system, however, this method has only been applied to MEG visual data in a few instances. Here we use the Neural Decoding Toolbox ...

A program framework has been designed in which the linguistic facts and heuristics necessary for generating fluent natural language can be encoded. The linguistic data is represented in annotated procedures and data ...

A visual scene is transformed from a very simple and convenient format, to an internal format which describes the same scene, but is more akin to complex manipulations. This format is compatible with programs like ...
