In this letter, we introduce and investigate a new problem referred to as the All Hops Shortest Paths (AHSP) problem. The AHSP problem involves selecting, for all hop counts, the shortest paths from a given source to any other node in a network. We derive a tight lower bound on the worst-case computational complexities of the optimal comparison-based solutions to AHSP. 相似文献
In this article we generalize Victor Lomonosov's famous inequality so as to be applicable to a wider class of functions. Then using it we prove that the adjoint of an algebra with a compactness property which is weaker than the PS property, employed by Victor Lomonosov, has nontrivial invariant subspaces.
New experimental studies on the effects of large dynamic compressive loads on highly birefringent optical fibers are presented. The intensity rate of applied dynamic loads ranged between 2.18-6719 KN/m-sec. A Fibercore (previously York) HB600 Bow-Tie fiber with an initial beat length of 1.16 mm was employed in the present study. Sensor response is discussed in terms of the effects of force amplitudes and velocities on the calibration parameter Tf. Tf is a function of the amplitude as well as the velocity of applied loading. Therefore, calibration of the sensor should be achieved through regression analysis of the load-fringe data for the entire spectrum of the desired force velocities. The ramification of this finding is that a single experiment for the measurement of Tf cannot provide the required parameters for calibration. This further implies that the change in beat length is also dependent on the amplitude and velocity of loading. The suggested method takes both effects into account through empirical analysis of experimental data 相似文献
The various thermodynamic parameters for the periodate oxidation of six anilines, viz. aniline, p-chloroaniline, p-ethoxyaniline, o- and p-methoxyanilines and p-methylaniline have been reported and discussed. The validity of the isokinetic relationship and various linear free energy relationships (LFERs) have been tested and discussed. An attempt has been made to correlate these findings with the mechanism operative in these reactions. 相似文献
This paper introduces a Transimpedance Amplifier (TIA) design capable of producing an incremental input resistance in the ohmic range, for input signals in the microampere range, such as are encountered in the design of instrumentation for electrochemical ampero-metric sensors, optical-sensing and current-mode circuits. This low input-resistance is achieved using an input stage incorporating negative feedback. In a Cadence simulation of an exemplary design using a 180 nm CMOS process and operating with?±?1.8 V supply rails, the input resistance is 1.05 ohms and the power dissipation is 93.6 µW. The bandwidth, for a gain of 100 dBohm, exceeded 9 MHz. For a 1µA, 1 MHz sinusoidal input signal the Total Harmonic Distortion, with this gain, is less than 1%. The input referred noise current with zero photodiode capacitance is 2.09 pA/√Hz and with a photodiode capacitance of 2pF is 8.52 pA/√Hz. Graphical data is presented to show the effect of a photodiode capacitance varying from 0.5 to 2 pF, when the TIA is used in optical sensing. In summary, the required very low input resistance, at a low input current level (µA) is achieved and furthermore a Table is included comparing the characteristics and a widely used Figure of Merit (FOM) for the proposed TIA and similar published low-power TIAs. It is apparent from the Table that the FOM of the proposed TIA is better than the FOMs of the other TIAs mentioned.
In this work, 4-diethanolaminomethyl styrene (DEAMSt) monomer was prepared by modification of 4-chloromethyl styrene with diethanolamine. The homopolymerization of styrene modificated was carried out by free radical polymerization method at 60?°C in presence of 1,4-dioxane and AIBN. The metal complexes were prepared by reaction of the homopolymer used as ligand P(DEAMSt)Ll and Ni(II), Co(II) metal ions in presence of ethanol and dilute NaOH at 65?°C for 48?h in pH 6.
The structure of modificated monomer, homopolymer used as ligand and polymer-metal complexes were characterized by (FT-IR), 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, Raman spectroscopy tecniques, elemental analysis, SEM, XRD and magnetic measurements. Their geometric structures according to magnetic measurements of Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes were estimated that have a tetrahedral structure. P(DEAMSt)Ll polymer has a transition state between amorphous and crystalline, whereas metal complexes (Co(II) and Ni(II) are with a large crystal structure. The molecular weight of P(DEAMSt)L1 homopolymer was determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The glass transition temperature (Tg) of homopolymer was measured by differantial scanning calorimeter (DSC). The thermal behaviors of both ligand and polymer-metal complexes were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and (DTA). The results obtained were compared with each other. Then, the dielectrical measurements (dielectric constant, dielectric loss and conductivity) of the ligand and polymer-metal complexes were investigated as a function of temperature and frequency. The activation energies (Ea) of the ligand and metal complexes were determined from the conductivity measurements. 相似文献
A polyamide-peptide conjugate is designed which recruits sequence specifically the developmental regulator Exd to a cognate DNA site. In particular, an eight-ring hairpin polyamide (Im-Im-Py(C3H6NHR)-Py-gamma-Im-Py-Py-Py-beta-Dp) with a heptapeptide (R = Ac-Phe-Tyr-Pro-Trp-Met-Lys-Gly-) attached on a central ring was shown to induce cooperative binding of the Drosophila Hox protein cofactor Exd with a Kd of 4.4 nM in vitro, an order of magnitude more efficient than the natural Hox protein partner Ubx. The conjugate joins two sequence specific domains, one for DNA and one for the protein. This small molecule thus serves as a cooperative protein-DNA dimerizer, which mimics the natural Hox family of developmental regulators. 相似文献
