Quickersort, Straight Insertion Sort, Mehlhorn's AVL-tree Sorting Algorithm and Cook's new sorting algorithm are compared on nearly and nedium sorted lists. The ratio of the minimum number of list elements that must be removed so that the remaining portion of the list is in order to the size of the...
We have investigated the gaseous structure of cyclohexane-
1,4-dione via electron diffraction. The large amplitude
motion, as suggested from spectroscopic, dipole moment
and earlier electron diffraction data was studied. The
structure was refined in two types of models: a single
"distorted boat" conformer, and a model comprised of a
superposition...
Productivity gains in the manufacturing sector have generally been
credited to investments in production facilities that supplemented or
replaced manual labor. Insertion of circuit boards is a key activity in
the electronics industry. Improvements in productivity of circuit board
manufacture may be achieved by replacing manual component insertion with
automatic...
Irrigation is essential for profitable agriculture in the western
United States. It is the largest consumer of water and power in
Oregon. Conflicting uses of water and power and their scarcity demands
judicious planning for allocation of these resources. Creditable
baseline data are not only needed for irrigated crop acreages,...
