Recent work in the area of statistical QoS has demonstrated that a) statistical envelopes can lead to large gains in utilization, b) easily enforced deterministic envelopes can be used to obtain such statistical envelopes, c) end-to-end performance bounds can be provided with high utilization targets if rate-controlled scheduling disciplines are employed on every node. In this paper we examine ...

Observations of seismic waves from earthquakes at depths between 100 and 200 km beneath Japan show that the initial portion of the S-wave arrival has greater duration than can be accounted for by earthquake source-time duration. The observed long duration of S waves has been explained as being caused by multiple forward scattering around the ray path between source and receiver. Array observati...

This paper describes a program, mf2ps, that translates a METAFONT font definition into a definition for the same font in the POSTSCRIPT language. mf2ps is constructed out of the part of the METAFONT program that extracts the envelopes of the letters; these envelopes are converted into POSTSCRIPT outlines.

A . This paper considers the problem of conducting inference on the regression coefficient in a bivariate regression model with a highly persistent regressor. Gaussian asymptotic power envelopes are obtained for a class of testing procedures satisfying a conditionality restriction. In addition, the paper proposes testing procedures that attain these power envelopes whether or not the innovation...

The perception of stimuli with ramped envelopes (gradual attack and abrupt decay) and damped envelopes (abrupt attack and gradual decay) was studied in subjective and objective tasks. Magnitude estimation (ME) of perceived duration was measured for broadband noise, 1.0-kHz, and 8.0-kHz tones for durations between 10 and 200 ms. Damped sounds were judged to be shorter than ramped sounds. Matchin...

When serially cultivated human epidermal keratinocytes are placed in suspension culture they stop growing and form, beneath the plasma membrane, an insoluble envelope consisting of protein cross-linked by ~-(y-glutamyl)lysine. The formation of envelopes in suspended cells is preceded by a sharp decline in the rate of protein synthesis, and most envelopes appear only after the average rate of pr...
