Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSWITCHING-ALGEBRAIC ANALYSIS OF RELATIONAL DATABASESAli Muhammad Ali Rushdi, Omar Mohammed Ba-RukabThere is an established equivalence between relational database Functional Dependencies (FDs) and a fragment of switching algebra that is built typically of Horn clauses. This equivalence pertains to both concepts and procedures of the FD relational database domain and the switching algebraic domain. This study is an exposition of the use of switching-algebraic tools in solving problems typically encountered in … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 18 Apr 2014 · 6,708 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordUsing Threads to Overcome Synchronization Delays in Parallel Multiple Progressive Alignment AlgorithmsEvandro A. Marucci, Geraldo F.D. Zafalon, Julio C. Momente et al.Problem statement: The parallelization of multiple progressive alignment algorithms is a difficult task. All known methods have strong bottlenecks resulting from synchronization delays. This is even more constraining in distributed memory systems, where message passing also delays the interprocess communication. Despite these drawbacks, parallel computing is becoming increasingly necessary to perform multiple sequence alignment. Approach: In this study, it is … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 8 Mar 2012 · 14,199 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordHigher-Order Newton-Cotes FormulasPedro Americo Almeida Magalhaes Junior, Cristina Almeida MagalhaesProblem statement: The present work offers equations of Newton-Cotes Integration until twenty segments. Approach: It shows Newton-Cotes closed and open integration formulas. The new type Newton-Cotes semi-closed or semi-open was proposed. Results: An analysis of error in the technique was made. To estimate the error of integration in discrete data, we propose apply different rules or mix several rules. Conclusion/Recommendations: … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,752 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordThe Coordinated Scheduling Support System of Production and DeliveryMing-Feng Yang, Yi LinProblem statement: Traditional scheduling models which only address the sequence of jobs to be processed at the production stage under some criteria are no longer suitable and should be extended to cope with the distribution stage after production. In a rapidly changing environment, competition among enterprises has a tendency to turn towards competing between supply chain systems instead of competing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 6,803 accessesView PDF Cite
