Quantifying structure complexity in filamentous matter, like proteins and polymers, via topological metrics, can be of prohibitive computational cost. A classical example is the Jones polynomial, ...

The label placement algorithm works as follows: Measure the width and height of the bounding box of the text. Use the bisection method to search for the maximum size rectangle that fits within the ...

Break even and profitability analysis is a classical and widely used topic in business analysis. Break-Even Point or point of equilibrium is the point of sales volume making neither a profit nor a ...

Like the deranged children’s programming provided by the Five Nights at Freddy’s and Chucky series before it, My Friendly Neighborhood takes everyone’s favorite childhood memories and converts them ...

Abstract: In this article, an image encryption algorithm via bisection method and one-dimensional piecewise chaotic map is proposed. It depends on the permutation-substitution model. Firstly, the ...

The interaction of space and time affects perception of extents: (1) the longer the exposure duration, the longer the line length is perceived and vice versa; (2) the shorter the line length is, the ...

Abstract: In this paper, we present a fully distributed bisection algorithm for the economic dispatch problem (EDP) in a smart grid scenario, with the goal to minimize the aggregated cost of a network ...
