DEVELOPMENT OF ALGORITHMS FOR CLASSICAL AND SEMICLASSICAL DYNAMICS
… concept we propose the Dynamical Coupling Index (DCI). DCI is a new molecular descriptor derived as the energy loss caused by a short-time atom-pair-decoupling perturbation, averaged over a statistical ensemble. We measure the DCI patterns of many small sized organic molecules and investigate the …

Locating Optimal Water Quality Monitoring Locations Using Demand Coverage Index Method
… California city using the Demand Coverage Index (DCI) method. In order to study small scale systems which are typically more vulnerable to tampering, the method attempts to use the virtual city to show the effectiveness of the DCI method and how it can be implemented on smaller water distribution …

Efficient replication of large volumes of data and maintaining data consistency by using P2P techniques in Desktop Grid
… Grid-based Distributed Computing Infrastructure (DCI). Some of these data-intensive applications deal with large volumes of data. Several solutions for data-intensive applications have been proposed for Desktop Grid (DG) but they are not efficient in handling large volumes of data. Data management …
