The recent trend of rapid increase in the number of cores per chip has resulted in vast amount of on-node parallelism. Not only the number of cores per node is increasing substantially but also the cores are becoming heterogeneous. The high variability in the performance of the hardware components introduce imbalance due to heterogeneity. The applications are also becoming more complex resultin...

Integrative approaches to studying the coupled dynamics of skeletal muscles with their loads while under neural control have focused largely on questions pertaining to the postural and dynamical stability of animals and humans. Prior studies have focused on how the central nervous system actively modulates muscle mechanical impedance to generate and stabilize motion and posture. However, the qu...

We employ periodic density functional theory to explore the effect of cyclic tensile loading on the behavior of alumina in the threshold region of crack formation. We find evidence for nanoscale fatigue when the alumina lattice is subjected to uniaxial tensile loading and unloading and tensile stresses normal to the applied load. It is possible that such atomic-scale fatigue impacts the durabil...

A formulation for the automatic synthesis of two-dimensional bistable, compliant periodic structures is presented, based on standard methods for topology optimization. The design space is parametrized using nonlinear beam elements and a ground structure approach. A performance criterion is suggested, based on characteristics of the load-deformation curve of the compliant structure. A genetic al...

Previous behavioral work has shown the existence of both anticipatory and reactive grip force responses to predictable load perturbations, but how the brain implements anticipatory control remains unclear. Here we recorded electroencephalographs while participants were subjected to predictable and unpredictable external load perturbations. Participants used precision grip to maintain the positi...

This paper proposes a control method for an electrolytic capacitor-less dual inverter compressors. Single-phase motor drive systems are required to minimize vibrations, maintain high power factor, and meet the limit harmonic current emissions. The proposed achieves reduction of dq-axis currents, low grid THD under periodic load torque fluctuations. effectiveness is demonstrated via experimental...

‎in this paper‎, ‎we investigate a damped korteweg-de‎ ‎vries equation with forcing on a periodic domain‎ ‎$mathbb{t}=mathbb{r}/(2pimathbb{z})$‎. ‎we can obtain that if the‎ ‎forcing is periodic with small amplitude‎, ‎then the solution becomes‎ ‎eventually time-periodic.

To predict fatigue-driven delamination growth in real structures, it is inevitable to understand under load spectra, also known as in-service loads, which most commonly are variable amplitude patterns. In this work, glass fibre-reinforced polymer laminates subjected two-level block loading investigated using a pure moment loaded DCB test configuration for G-controlled cyclic testing. The patter...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Monitoring of HIV-infected individuals on antiretroviral treatment (ART) ideally requires periodic viral load measurements to ascertain adequate response to treatment. While plasma viral load monitoring is widely available in high-income settings, it is rarely used in resource-limited regions because of high cost and need for sophisticated sample transport. Dried blood s...

This chapter presents a middle-term new load adjustment approach by overlapping for a set of jobs in a job-shop context, guaranteeing the existence of a limited capacity schedule without scheduling under the assumption of pre-emptive tasks. The proposed approach is based on the exploitation of the tasks scheduling time segments overlapping and on the distribution of the job’s margins between ta...
