Reducing the costs of bounded-exhaustive testing
Bounded-exhaustive testing is an automated testing methodology that checks the code under test for all inputs within given bounds: first the user describes a set of test inputs and provides test oracles that can check test outputs; then a tool generates all the test inputs, executes them on the …

A Hybrid heuristic-exhaustive search approach for rule extraction
The topic of this thesis is knowledge discovery and artificial intelligence based knowledge discovery algorithms. The knowledge discovery process and associated problems are discussed, followed by an overview of three classes of artificial intelligence based knowledge discovery algorithms. Typical …

Investigation into Greedy Exhaustive Dual Binary Swaps (GEDBS) for the optimization of core configuration in pressurized water reactors
… for the reactor core. The use of Greedy Exhaustive Dual Binary Swaps (GEDBS) was implemented for the optimization of the quarter-core of a reactor containing 193 fuel assemblies. The primary objective was to investigate the quality of the output from the GEDBS algorithm and to compare it …

Toward improved drug discovery against flexible protein targets: an exhaustive study of glutamate racemase conformational dynamics, ligand binding, and catalysis
It is generally agreed that many proteins are structurally dynamic; sampling many conformations while in solution and also adopting new conformations upon complexation with a ligand. Many of these flexible enzymes are of biological interest, and hindering their function via binding of competitive …

The Greedy Exhaustive Dual Binary Swap methodology for fuel loading optimization in PWR reactors using the poropy reactor optimization Tool
… deterministic optimization scheme termed Greedy Exhaustive Dual Binary Swap for the optimization of nuclear reactor core loading patterns. The goal of this optimization scheme is to emulate the approach taken by an engineer when manually optimizing a reactor core loading pattern. This is to …

A Comparative Assessment of Methodologies for Solving Problems of Nonlinear Optimization in the Business Sector
… in minimal time. Simulated annealing and exhaustive enumeration seek to provide a family of solutions. Creating data warehouses using each of exhaustive enumeration, sampling with replacement, and sampling without replacement allows for more expedient analysis. Each method was assessed in …

Optimization algorithms in boiling water reactor lattice design
… the potential for a new method called Greedy Exhaustive Dual Binary Swaps (GEDBS). The mandatory trade-off in computation is accuracy for speed; GEDBS is an exhaustive search and tends toward longer runtimes. While GEDBS performed acceptably for the criterion administered in this paper (local …

Performance Evaluation of Token Control Networks
… model are developed for the cases where exhaustive service and non-exhaustive service disciplines are used, respectively. Accuracies in the values of average network access delay predicted by the empirical model and simpler approximation models are compared to values obtained from …

The Effects of Four Consecutive Days of Acute Exercise on Macrophage Antigen Presentation
… (MOD, 18 m min-1, 5% grade, 0.5 hr day1), exhaustive exercise (EXH, 18--30 m min-1, 3 hr day), or treadmill control (TC, housed on treadmill for 3 hr but did not exercise) groups. The mice underwent treatments for a period of 4 days during peritoneal thioglycolate inflammation. Peritoneal …

Exhaustivity, continuity, and strong additivity in topological Riesz spaces.
… is the link between strong additivity and exhaustive elements of Dedekind s-complete Banach lattices. There is a strong connection between the Diestel-Faires Theorem and the Meyer-Nieberg Lemma in this setting. Also, embedding properties of Banach lattices are linked to the notion of strong …

Exhaustivity
… an answer to the question of how to model exhaustive inferences and what the meaning of the linguistic material that triggers these inferences is. In particular, it deals with the semantics of exclusive particles, clefts, and progressive aspect in Ga, an under-researched language spoken in …

Azione antiossidante del sulforafane: analisi in cellule cardiache in coltura ed in un modello animale di esercizio fisico
… induced by H2O2 It is well known that acute exhaustive exercise causes significant reactive oxygen species generation that results in oxidative stress, which can induce negative effects on health and well being. In fact, increased oxidative stress and biomarkers (e.g., protein carbonyls, MDA, …

Systematic variability in stage-one processing as revealed by eye movements in efficient visual search
… the number of items on the display (due to the exhaustive nature of evidence accumulation). Here, we examined eye movements to further elaborate on these novel contributions of our model. When lure-target similarity was high, participants made more fixations, had longer initial saccade …

Adaptive Bayesian sampling with application to 'bubbles'
… the purpose to render information sampling less exhaustive: they allow to identify significantly informative image regions which are used for further sampling and to exclude from sampling those image regions which contribute at least to solving our categorization problem. Denoting the observed …

The effects of whole pureed mango intake on serum biomarkers of muscle damage in response to moderate intensity aerobic exercise in sedentary adults
… and biomarkers of muscle damage following exhaustive exercise in healthy sedentary young adults. Methods: A 10 week randomized, placebo-controlled cross-over study was conducted. Participants consumed a mango puree or placebo product daily for 4 weeks each. An exhaustive exercise trial was …

The syntactic and semantic roots of floating quantification
… lines: Adverbial floating quantifiers have exhaustive semantics, while stranded adnominal floating quantifiers are non-exhaustive. The analysis developed here provides an explanation for these syntactic and semantic differences.

Acquisition and modeling of material appearance
… materials. Data-driven approaches based on exhaustive measurements are fully general but the measurement process is difficult and the storage requirement is very high. In this thesis, we propose the use of hybrid representations that are more compact and easier to acquire than exhaustive …

Effect of Whey Protein Isolate on Oxidative Stress, Exercise Performance, and Immunity
… capacity following exercise. Following exhaustive exercise for all trials, tGSH and GPx increased 7% and 11%, respectively, while WBCGSH decreased 13%. For WPI, GPx activity was 10% lower than P following exhaustive exercise for all trials combined. Weight loss (2.67 ± 0.26 kg) resulted …

Glutathione regulation during exercise: Effect of fasting-refeeding, glutathione depletion and supplementation
… thesis investigated the importance of GSH during exhaustive exercise under several conditions: (1) after fasting-refeeding; (2) following drug-induced chronic glutathione depletion; and (3) after GSH and GSH ethyl ester (GSHE) supplementation. The effects of fasting and refeeding were investigated …

On Hajj Tourism: In Search of Piety and Identity in the New Order Indonesia
"This study does not provide an exhaustive discussion of the social characteristics of the ""middle class"" to elucidate the conceptual problems of stratification in a new comparative manner; rather, it focuses on the ways in which an Islamic identity has been transformed into a new configuration …
