Abstract. In this paper we deal with the problem of finding an optimal query execution plan in database systems. We improve the analysis of a polynomial-time approximation algorit...
Abstract. Protein design software places amino acid side chains by precomputing rotamer-pair energies and optimizing rotamer placement. If the software optimizes by rapid stochasti...
A flexible neural network (FNN) is a multilayer feedforward neural network with the characteristics of: (1) overlayer connections; (2) variable activation functions for different...
The concept of system-on-a-chip is becoming increasingly popular for the integration of complex systems. New types of processor cores are now available that enable the designer to...
A new approach for CMOS op-amp circuit synthesis has proposed here. The approach is based on the observation that the rst order behavior of a MOS transistor in the saturation regi...
