In this paper we present a QUBO formulation for the Takuzu game (or Binairo), for the most recent LinkedIn game, Tango, and for its generalizations. We optimize the number of variables needed to solve the combinatorial problem, making it suitable to be solved by quantum devices with fewer resources.
For the first time, the repeated wear phenomenon of high-frequency power failure on the data block area in intermittent computing file system is found. A method to improve NVM wear in ICFS under high-frequency power failure scenarios is proposed.

The reported X-ray crystal structures show that both the organic moieties form robust homomeric ribbons based on strong and articulated N–H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
In this paper I present some of the most representative biological models applied to robotics. In particular, this work represents a survey of some models inspired, or making use of concepts, by gene regulatory networks (GRNs): these networks describe the complex interactions that affect gene expression and, consequently, cell behaviour.
The main thrust of the article is to provide interesting example, useful for students of using bitwise operations in the programming languages C ++ and Java. As an example, we describe an algorithm for obtaining a Latin square of arbitrary order. We will outline some techniques for the use of bitwise operations.
El artículo presenta la llegada del nuevo milenio, un número cada vez mayor de empresarios se unieron a la aplicación del diseño sostenible que comenzó a replantearse en las empresas y el rol que juegan con el desarrollo del medio ambiente, el planeta y en la sociedad. Podemos decir que el diseño sostenible busca generar soluciones a través de servicios y estilos de vida, pero no exclusivamente a través de objetos. Con el fin de introducir una definición elaborada de diseño sostenible es necesario mencionar los sistemas sostenibles, que básicamente, se refieren a cualquier tipo de red o servicio social que puede existir y replicarse. Además de sistemas sostenibles hay otros principios dentro del diseño sostenible. Por último, cualquier tipo de resultado obtenido para satisfacer la necesidad debe ser sostenible a largo plazo entendiéndose como un proceso que permita una comunidad lograr un resultado a través de estrategias de diseño.
A Distributed transformer networks remote monitoring system is developed and constructed,for monitor and record the parameters like temperature, oil level status, of a distribution transformer.The system consists of a micro controller based circuit,with solid-state components for handling sensors,power back-up,real time clock and data communication module which based on ZigBee protocol.
Web mining has been very crucial to any organization as it provides useful insights to business patterns. It helps the company to understand its customers better. As the web is growing in pace, so is its importance and hence it becomes all the more necessary to find useful patterns. Here in this paper, web mining using ant colony optimization has been reviewed with some of its experimental results.
The process development and optimization potential needs to be driven by the individial coporate value chain. The identification of this specific value chain and the related indicators is essential to limit the scope of any analysis and optimization to the core business The process framework consisting of clearly defined value chain, the related processes and the corresponding indicators is a pre-requisite for a meaningful and efficient process analysis and continuous process optimization.
Energetic Reasoning (ER) is a powerful filtering algorithm for the Cumulative constraint. Unfortunately, ER is generally too costly to be used in practice. One reason of its bad behavior is that many intervals are considered as relevant by the checker of ER, although most of them should be ignored. In this paper, we provide a sharp characterization that allows to reduce the number of intervals by a factor seven. Our experiments show that associating this checker with a Time-Table filtering algorithm leads to promising results.
In this paper IEEE Learning Technology System Architecture (LTSA) for LMS software has been analyzed. It has been observed that LTSA is too abstract to be adapted in a uniform way by LMS developers. A Learners' Quanta based high level design that satisfies the IEEE LTSA standard has been proposed for future development of efficient LMS software. A hybrid model of learning fitting into LTSA model has also been proposed while designing.
In this paper we describe the process of designing a task-oriented continuous speech recognition system for Arabic, based on CMU Sphinx4, to be used in the voice interface of Quranic reader. The concept of the Quranic reader controlled by speech is presented, the collection of the corpus and creation of acoustic model are described in detail taking into account a specificities of Arabic language and the desired application.

This paper focuses on the application of soft computing in remanufacturing system, in which end-of-life products are disassembled into basic components and then remanufactured for both economic and environmental reasons. The disassembly activities include disassembly sequencing and planning, while the remanufacturing process is composed of product design, production planning & scheduling, and inventory management. This paper presents a review of the related articles and suggests the corresponding further research directions.
In this paper, I present the design and implementation of Clown--a simulator of a microprocessor-based computer system specifically optimized for teaching operating system courses at undergraduate or graduate levels. The package includes the simulator itself, as well as a collection of basic I/O devices, an assembler, a linker, and a disk formatter. The simulator architecturally resembles mainstream microprocessors from the Intel 80386 family, but is much easier to learn and program. The simulator is fast enough to be used as an emulator--in the direct user interaction mode.
Image denoising has become an essential exercise in medical imaging especially the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). This paper proposes a medical image denoising algorithm using contourlet transform. Numerical results show that the proposed algorithm can obtained higher peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) than wavelet based denoising algorithms using MR Images in the presence of AWGN.
This paper presents a fuzzy queuing location model for congested system. In a queuing system there are different criteria that are not constant such as service rate, service rate demand, queue length, the occupancy probability of a service center and Probability of joining the queue line. In this paper with fuzzifying all of these variables, will try to reach an accurate real problem. Finally we change the problem to a single objective function and as far as this model is in NP-Hard classification we will use genetic algorithm for solving it and ant colony for comparison is used for their results and run time.

A new symmetrical four-wire sensor configuration has resulted in a fully integrated sound intensity sensor with significant lower noise floor and smaller size than its predecessors. An integrated sound pressure sensor was further miniaturized by using a folded "back chamber" at both sides of the chip.
We present, in a unifying way, the main components of three asynchronous event-driven algorithms for simulating physical systems of interacting particles. The first example, hard-particle molecular dynamics, is well-known. We also present a recently-developed diffusion kinetic Monte Carlo algorithm, as well as a novel stochastic molecular-dynamics algorithm that builds on the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo. We explain how to effectively combine asynchronous event-driven with classical time-driven or with synchronous event-driven handling. Finally, we discuss some promises and challenges for event-driven simulation of realistic physical systems.
A technique for evaluating noise figure suitable for BIST implementation is described. It is based on a low cost single-bit digitizer, which allows the simultaneous evaluation of noise figure in several test points of the analog circuit. The method is also able to benefit from SoC resources, like memory and processing power. Theoretical background and experimental results are presented in order to demonstrate the feasibility of the approach.
