Formation of Print-Out Images on Large Crystals of Lead Chloride by Jean-François Reber, José G. Fernandez-Garcia, Rolf Steiger, Charles G. Boissonnas

“…The photolysis of these crystals can be divided into three different steps as a function of the exposure time: 1) Short exposure times corresponding to the latent image, 2) longer exposures lead to a print-out image if they are made in the absence of oxygen, and to an invisible one in the presence of oxygen, 3) very long exposures give a print-out image (in the presence as well as in the absence of oxygen). …”

BiRch:a bidirectional search algorithm for k-step reachability queries by Jun-feng ZHOU, Wei CHEN, Chun-ping FEI, Zi-yang CHEN

“…A new bidirectional processing algorithm,namely BiRch was proposed.When checking whether a vertex u can reach v within k steps,BiRch firstly compared the out-degree of u and the in-degree of v,and processed the one with smaller degree,such that to avoid large indexes and the inefficiency due to large degree.Two pruning strategies were proposed based on bidirectional breadth-first levels and bidirectional topological levels,such that to reduce the number of visited vertexes.Experimental results on 19 real datasets verify the efficiency of the proposed method in terms of different metrics,including indexing time,index size,query processing time,the number of visited vertexes,and scalability.…”
