In this work, we demonstrate an on-chip microfluidic flow cytometry system based on a three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamic focusing technique, microfluidic drifting. By inducing Dean flow in a curved microfluidic channel, microfluidic drifting can be used to hydrodynamically focus cells or particles in the vertical direction and enables the 3D hydrodynamic focusing in a single-layer planar micro...

We present TritonSort, a highly efficient, scalable sorting system. It is designed to process large datasets, and has been evaluated against as much as 100 TB of input data spread across 832 disks in 52 nodes at a rate of 0.916 TB/min. When evaluated against the annual Indy GraySort sorting benchmark, TritonSort is 60% better in absolute performance and has over six times the per-node efficienc...

Because of the unbalanced class and skewed profit distribution in customer purchase data, the unknown and variant costs of false negative errors are a common problem for predicting the high-value customers in marketing operations. Incorporating cost-sensitive learning into forecasting models can improve the return on investment under resource constraint. This study proposes a cost-sensitive lea...

Very recently, Kavut and Yucel identified 9-variable Boolean functions having nonlinearity 242, which is currently the best known. However, any of these functions do not contain any zero in the Walsh spectrum and that is why they cannot be made balanced. We use these functions to construct 13-variable balanced Boolean function having nonlinearity 213−1 − 2 13−1 2 + 2 = 4034 which is strictly gr...

Note: The Accounting and Critical Theories Division did not send us their proceedings. But they did send us the following paper asking that we include it in the proceedings: The Balanced Scorecard (BSC) has evolved from a performance measurement tool to become a widely accepted strategic management system. This paper examines relevant research as it relates to the most pressing methodological a...

In this paper we study the existence of linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG)-balanced realizations for continuous-time infinite-dimensional systems. LQG-balanced realizations are those for which the optimal cost operator for the system and its dual system are equal (and diagonal). The class of systems we consider is that of distributional resolvent linear systems which includes well-posed linear sys...

In this paper, we are going to investigate the growth of the Iranian maritime transport with a focus mainly on the North - South transit Corridor, review of dry ports in order to support the Iranian container terminals at the south ports in order to increase the volume of container storages at the terminals. For the purpose of assessing the outcome of port operational management, the Balanced ...
