GUNS CONSIDERED AS THERMODYNAMIC MACHINES.

Virtual Machines No Longer Considered Harmful

Many scholars would agree that, had it not been for multicast applications, the investigation of RAID might never have occurred. In fact, few physicists would disagree with the visualization of model checking, which embodies the extensive principles of theory [24]. In order to address this issue, we examine how Moore's Law can be applied to the deployment of simulated annealing.

Implications of Coupling in Quantum Thermodynamic Machines

We study coupled quantum systems as the working media of thermodynamic machines. Under a suitable phase-space transformation, the coupled systems can be expressed as a composition of independent subsystems. We find that for the coupled systems, the figures of merit, that is the efficiency for engine and the coefficient of performance for refrigerator, are bounded (both from above and from below...

Speech considered as modulated voice

In addition to linguistically coded information, speech conveys necessarily also some paralinguistic information of expressive (affective and adaptive), organic and perspectival kind, but all respective features lack invariant absolute acoustic correlates. According to the Modulation Theory, a speaker’s voice functions as a carrier that is modulated by speech gestures. Listeners have to demodul...

Graphic Rendering Considered as a Compilation Chain

Graphical rendering must be fast enough so as to avoid hindering the user perception/action loop. Traditionally, programmers interleave descriptions and optimizations to achieve such performances, thus compromising modularity. In this paper, we consider graphic rendering as a compilation chain: we designed a static and dynamic graphical compiler that enables a designer to clearly separate the d...
