$O(n^2 log n)$ Time On-line Construction of Two-Dimensional Suffix Trees
2007
The two-dimensional suffix tree of an n × n square matrix A is a compacted trie that represents all square submatrices of A [11]. For the off-line case, i.e., A is given in advance to the algorithm, it is known how to build it in optimal time, for any type of alphabet size [11], [18]. Motivated by applications in Image Compression [22], Giancarlo and Guaiana [14] considered the on-line version of the two-dimensional suffix tree and presented an O(n2 log2 n)-time algorithm, which we refer to as GG. That algorithm is a nontrivial generalization of Ukkonen’s on-line algorithm for standard suffix trees [23]. The main contribution in this paper is an O(logn) factor improvement in the time comple…
Type II Odontoid Fracture: a case series highlighting the treatment strategies
2019
Background: A type II odontoid fracture, if unstable, can cause spinal cord damage. In this case, it is essential to choose the correct treatment—but the issues of what the correct treatment is and which of the different surgical options is best are quite controversial. In this paper we present strategies for treatment of type II odontoid fracture. Materials and Methods: Thirty consecutive cases of type II odontoid fracture were treated at the Division of Neurosurgery at Villa Sofia Hospital in Palermo (23 cases) and at the Neurosurgical Clinic, University Hospital of Palermo (seven cases), from January 2011 to August 2016. Four patients were treated with external immobilization. Twenty-six…
Los procesos de derivación locucional en el continuum discursivo de la literatua medieval de castigos
2016
Las características formales y estilísticas del género sapiencial se antojan fundamentales para el estudio histórico de la fraseología. Por su brevedad y concisión, por su capacidad de adaptarse lingu?ísticamente a tradiciones literarias que nacen y se desarrollan en contextos culturales muy diversos, las colecciones de sentencias medievales que tuvieron su eclosión en el siglo XIII y que llegaron hasta el siglo XV como consecuencia de un continuum discursivo, se caracterizaron por manifestar un uso locucional bastante nutrido. Esta investigación tiene como principal objetivo caracterizar todas las locuciones prepositivas cuyo núcleo se vio sometido a un proceso de derivación léxica, lo cua…
Existence theorems for inclusions of the type
1999
For a family of operator inclusions with convex closed-valued right-hand sides in Banach spaces, the existence of solutions is obtained by chiefly using Ky Fan's fixed point principle. The main result of the paper improves Theorem 1 in [16] as well as Theorem 2.2 of [3]. Some meaningful concrete cases are also presented and discussed.
A Short Proof that Some Mappings of the Unit Ball of ℓ2 Are Never Nonexpansive
2020
It is known that some particular self-mappings of the closed unit ball Bl2 of l2 with no fixed points cannot be nonexpansive with respect to any renorming of l2. We give here a short proof of this ...
Some Moduli and Constants Related to Metric Fixed Point Theory
2001
Indeed, there are a lot of quantitative descriptions of geometrical properties of Banach spaces. The most common way for creating these descriptions, is to define a real function (a “modulus” depending on the Banach space under consideration, and from this define a suitable constant or coefficient closely related to this function. The moduli and/or the constants are attempts to get a better understanding about two things: The shape of the unit ball of a space, and The hidden relations between weak and strong convergence of sequences.
An extension of Guo's theorem via k--contractive retractions
2006
Abstract Let X be a infinite-dimensional Banach space. We generalize Guo's Theorem [D.J. Guo, Eigenvalues and eigenvectors of nonlinear operators, Chinese Ann. Math. 2 (1981) 65–80 [English]] to k- ψ -contractions and condensing mappings, under a condition which depends on the infimum k ψ of all k ⩾ 1 for which there exists a k- ψ -contractive retraction of the closed unit ball of the space X onto its boundary.
In vitro comparison of flexural strength and elastic modulus of three provisional crown materials used in fixed prosthodontics
2013
Objectives: To evaluate and compare the flexural strength and the elastic moduli of three provisional crown materials (methyl methacrylate based autopolymerized resin, bis acryl composite based autopolymerized resin and urethane dimethacrylate based light polymerized resin) after storing in artificial saliva and testing at intervals of 24 hours and 7 days. Study design: A metal master mould with four slots of dimensions 25x2x2 mm was fabricated to obtain samples of standard dimensions. A total of 135 specimens were thus obtained with 45 each of three provisional materials. Further 15 samples of each group were tested after storing for one hour at room temperature and again at intervals of 2…
Estudio contrastivo lingüístico y semántico de las construcciones verbales fijas diatópicas mexicanas/españolas
2010
En este artículo analizamos las construcciones verbales fijas de origen mexicano, y las compararemos con construcciones homólogas del español peninsular desde el punto de vista lingüístico y semántico con el fin de poner de relieve las peculiaridades de estas variantes diatópicas. In the present paper, we analyse set verbal constructions of Mexican origin and compare them with homologous verbal constructions of European Spanish origin from a morphological and semantic point of view in order to underline the peculiarities of the Mexican, diatopic varieties.
A MODEL FOR VESTIBULAR FUNCTION IN ALTERED GRAVITATIONAL STATES
1979
ABSTRACT During evolution, the vestibular organ was made to serve mainly two purposes: 1) to guide eye movements during sharp turns, so that the point of fixation in the visual field can be kept steady, a function accomplished by the semicircular canal system and 2) to indicate the terrestrial vertical, so that upright posture and gait can be maintained even in the dark. The otolith system serves the latter purpose. Since the function of the semicircular canal system does not depend on gravity, it is not grossly disturbed by gravitational levels different from 1 g . The proper function of the otolith system depends entirely on the presence of a gravitational force vector of 9.8/m/sec2 direc…
