The merging algorithm continues until no such pairs can be found.
As for the urging of activist investor Starboard Value that AOL and Yahoo merge, Armstrong continued to dismiss any potential move in this area as "a distraction".
According to the blog, Kobe University's Yukio-Pegio Gunji and colleagues discovered when two swarms of crabs meet, they merge and "continue in a direction that is the sum of their velocities", which could be used to form AND, OR, and NOT logic functions -- the basic logic backbone for computers.
Moreover, non-responders (that is, those who failed their initial treatment and were placed on open label drug) have more close connections (that is, more merge, split, continue events are found) than responders (that is, those who had had a satisfactory response and therefore remained on their blinded drug(s).
Moreover, in the group who failed initial therapy and were moved to the open label arm of the protocol (that is, those patients passing through stages 1, 2a, and 3), there were more detected events (merge, split, continue) than seen for those patients with a satisfactory response (stages 1, 2b, and 3), as noted above.
Thus, a deadlock is generated and no further merging process will continue.
Ford continued merging departments and reorganizing the executive branch throughout 1973 to the extent that, by the end of the year, there were only three program cabinets (Development, Education and the Arts, and Consumer Protection and Regulation) and four additional departments (Human Resources, Justice, Natural Resources and Environmental Protection, and Transportation).
He continues, "The merging of these diverse inputs will never be easy and should never be overly prescriptive.
With a user-specified distance of three nucleotides between stacks, ustacks first finds stacks that are a single nucleotide different and merges them, then continues at a distance of two, and finally at a distance of three.
Such merge-resplit process continues until the partition no longer varies after completely traversing the boundaries between all pairs of the neighboring communities, thereby reaching a self-organized state (a state in which boundaries between any two neighboring communities can not be further improved).
