As abstractions of Terwilliger algebras, generalized Terwilliger algebras and varietal Terwilliger algebras have been studied in 5,6,17. In general, it is difficult to determine the structure of a ...varietal Terwilliger algebra. As proposed in the concluding remarks in 4, in this paper we study the structures of those varietal Terwilliger algebras arising from the wreath products of rank two association schemes. In particular, we give the explicit formulas for their central primitive idempotents. Applications to Terwilliger algebras of association schemes are also discussed, and an affirmative answer to the Terwilliger conjecture mention in 4 is given.
The main purpοse οf imprοving and varying cοst calculatiοn methοds in the machine building industry is tο make them mοre οperatiοnal and efficient in supplying the infοrmatiοn necessary tο the ...management in taking its decisiοns. The present cοst calculatiοn methοds used in the machine building plants – glοbal methοd and the methοd per οrders – by which a histοrical cοst is determined a pοsteriοri used in deducting and pοst factum justificatiοn οf manufacturing expenses dοes nοt οffer the management the pοssibility tο fully satisfy its need fοr infοrmatiοn. We are talking abοut a change οf cοnceptiοn in applying certain systems, methοds and wοrk techniques, accοrding tο the needs οf efficient administratiοn οf prοductiοn and the plant seen as a whοle.

A Monte Carlo model of steady-state light transport in multi-layered tissues (MCML) has been coded in ANSI Standard C; therefore, the program can be used on various computers. Dynamic data allocation ...is used for MCML, hence the number of tissue layers and grid elements of the grid system can be varied by users at run time. The coordinates of the simulated data for each grid element in the radial and angular directions are optimized. Some of the MCML computational results have been verified with those of other theories or other investigators. The program, including the source code, has been in the public domain since 1992.
In this study, the authors investigate the linear minimum-mean-square-error beamforming design for relay-assisted cloud radio access network (C-RAN). A standard C-RAN architecture separates baseband ...processing units and wireless radio units in order to save energy cost. To further enhance network coverage, several relay nodes (RNs) are also deployed. Regrading the per-antenna power constraints at both of the remote radio heads (RRHs) and the RNs in the author's work the beamforming matrices at the RRHs and RNs are ‘jointly’ optimised for the considered relay assisted C-RAN. The considered optimisation problem is a non-convex and multiple variable optimisation problem which is in general very hard to solve. In order to make the design suitable for large scale networks exploiting to the problem structure a novel two stage decomposition algorithms are proposed. Finally, a detailed mean-square-error performance comparison is given by the simulations.
A convolution program (CONV) solving responses to a collimated finite diameter photon beam perpendicularly incident on a multi-layered tissue has been coded in ANSI Standard C, hence, the program can ...be executed on various computers. The program, employing an extended trapezoidal rule for integration, convolves the responses to an infinitely narrow photon beam computed by a companion program (MCML). Dynamic data allocation is used for CONV as well as MCML, therefore, the number of tissue layers and grid elements of the grid system can be varied at run time. The potential error due to not scoring the first photon-tissue interactions separately is illustrated. The program, including the source code, has been in the public domain since 1992 and can be downloaded from the web site at http://biomed.tamu.edu/~lw.
Architectural smells gained great attention in the past few years since they directly affect software quality and increase architectural technical debt. However, while it is straightforward to ...understand why they are important, it is more difficult to find techniques and tools to detect and remove architectural smells. The purpose of this paper is to introduce an open-source tool for automatic architectural smells detection for C/C++ projects, by creating an abstraction of the project and defining the concept of dependency between elements belonging to the project in order to identify architectural smells. The tool has been validated on some open-source projects with promising results.
The behaviour of asynchronous circuits is often described by signal transition graphs (STGs), which are Petri nets whose transitions are interpreted as rising and falling edges of signals. One of the ...crucial problems in the synthesis of such circuits is deriving the set and reset covers for the state-holding elements implementing each output signal of the circuit. The derived covers must satisfy certain correctness constraints, in particular the monotonic cover condition must hold for the standard-C implementation. The covers are usually derived using state graphs. In this paper, we avoid constructing the state graph of an STG, which can lead to state space explosion, and instead use a finite and complete prefix of its unfolding. We propose an efficient algorithm for deriving the set and reset covers for the standard-C implementation based on the Incremental Boolean Satisfiability (SAT) approach. Experimental results show that this technique leads not only to huge memory savings when compared with the methods based on state graphs, but also to significant speedups in many cases, without affecting the quality of the solution.
This paper presents a combination of programming languages and web technologies used to deploy a modern remote controlled system. The hardware part of the system is a parallel port interface board ...that contains different types display devices, user-input components and some relays. The system functionality is based on some software applications developed using different techniques: the communication between the parallel interface, local computer and webserver PC is based on standard C, the user interface is developed using php, mysql, html and javascript technologies. Users can access full resources of the system if they are registered or only some demonstration and training sections as guest users.
This paper presents theory and algorithms for the synthesis of standard C-implementations of speed-independent circuits. These implementations are block-level circuits which may consist of atomic ...gates to perform complex functions in order to ensure hazard freedom. First, we present Boolean covering conditions that guarantee that the standard C-implementations operate correctly. Then, we present two algorithms that produce optimal solutions to the covering problem. The first algorithm is always applicable, but does not complete on large circuits. The second algorithm, motivated by our observation that our covering problem can often be solved with a single cube, finds the optimal single-cube solution when such a solution exists. When applicable, the second algorithm is dramatically more efficient than the first, more general algorithm. We present results for benchmark specifications which indicate that our single-cube algorithm is applicable on most benchmark circuits and reduces run times by over an order of magnitude. The block-level circuits generated by our algorithms are a good starting point for tools that perform technology mapping to obtain gate-level speed-independent circuits.
