Bundles of muscle fibres were isolated from the diaphragm of mouse, rat and rabbit. Mean oscillatory power output was determined during phasic stimulation and imposed sinusoidal length changes. Maximum power output was measured over a range of cycle frequencies. The cycle frequency for maximum power output (fopt) decreased with increasing body mass and was described by the equation, fopt = 4.42...

The integer DCT (Int-DCT), which transforms an integer input to an integer output, is attracting many researchers' attention as an effective method for DCT based lossy / lossless unified coding. There are many reports relevant to the Int-DCT. Recently, we proposed an optimum word length allocation method based on the proposed SNR sensitivity. In this report, we confirm an effectiveness of the p...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) consist of large number of tiny sensor nodes, all of which have sensing capabilities. As sensor nodes are typically powered by nonrenewable batteries, energy efficiency is a critical factor in wireless sensor networks. Sensor nodes want to continue their lives with limited energy. Each of them using its own energy in minumum level and they aims to provide maximum...

We establish many-server heavy-traffic limits for G/M/n + M queueing models, allowing customer abandonment (the +M), subject to exogenous regenerative service interruptions. With unscaled service interruption times, we obtain a FWLLN for the queue-length process where the limit is an ordinary differential equation in a two-state random environment. With asymptotically negligible service interru...

We consider an asexual population under strong selection-weak mutation conditions evolving on rugged fitness landscapes with many local fitness peaks. Unlike the previous studies in which the initial fitness of the population is assumed to be high, here we start the adaptation process with a low fitness corresponding to a population in a stressful novel environment. For generic fitness distribu...

We use the variational method to find the optimum launch conditions that can sustain path-averaged solitons in a periodically amplified, constant-dispersion, optical communication system even when amplifier spacing is comparable to or larger than the dispersion length. We determine the amount of prechirping and the initial peak power required and show that both the pulse width and the chirp rec...

In this paper, the author presented a modified Chen and Chung’s model considering that the process mean may not be equal to the target value when the process is in the in-control state. Taguchi’s asymmetric quadratic quality loss function will be applied in evaluating the product quality. Subsequently, the modified economic manufacturing quantity (EMQ) model based on modified the Chen and Chung...

There has been much interest in recent years in bounds on the redundancy of Huffman codes, given only partial information about the source word distribution, such as the probability of the most likely source. This work determines upper and lower bounds for the redundancy of Huffman codes of source words which are binomially distributed. Since the complete distribution is known, it is possible t...

Recently, the integer DCT (Int-DCT), which has the rounding operations in the lifting structure, is attracting many researchers' attention as an effective method for DCT based lossy / lossless unified coding. So far, focuses of the previous reports relevant to the Int-DCT have been limited to a few topics such as how to reduce the number of multipliers with the four point lossless Hadamard tran...

A semi-analytical solution is presented using method of Laplace transform for the transient pulse electroosmotic flow (EOF) Maxwell fluid in a circular micro-channel. The driving mode EOF here considered as an ideal rectangle pulse. involves solving linearized Poisson-Boltzmann (P-B) equation, together with Cauchy momentum equation and general constitutive equation. results show that profiles v...
