Resource selection is fundamental to the performance of master/slave applications. In this paper, we address the problem of promoting performance for distributed master/slave applications targeted to distributed, heterogeneous ”Grid” resources. We present a work-rate-based model of master/slave application performance which utilizes both system and application characteristics to select potentia...

In this paper, the analysis and design of master-slave teleoperation systems are discussed. The goal of this paper is to build a superior master-slave system that can provide good maneuverability. We first analyze a one degree-of-freedom system including operator and object dynamics. Second, some ideal responses of master-slave systems are defined and a quantitative index of maneuverability ...

Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is a hereditary autoinflammatory disorder characterised by acute attacks of fever and serosal inflammation. FMF primarily affects Jewish, Armenian, Turkish, and Arab populations. The disease is accompanied by a marked decrease in quality of life due to the effects of attacks and subclinical inflammation in the attack-free periods. Untreated or inadequately tre...

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is a systemic auto-inflammatory disorder characterized by seemingly unprovoked recurrent episodes of fever and localized inflammation usually involving the peritoneum, pleura and joints accompanied by a marked acute-phase response. The disease primarily affects populations living around the Mediterranean basin ( Jewish, Armenian, Arab, Turkish populations) but...

The article summarizes a study of phrasal stress in Armenian and English. The characteristics concern the effect of the grammatical factor on accentuation through auditory and acoustic clues. The analyzed issue is directly related to the problems of the rhythmic structure of languages. It is an attempt to explore and model a formal criterion for the analysis of rhythmic stereotype of languages....

Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgery that accelerates postoperative recovery, but it can only be performed by surgeons with advanced surgical skills. One of the main difficulties in laparoscopic surgery is restriction of free motion of the forceps because of limited degrees of freedom by the trocar. Recently, many master–slave manipulators with a remote center-of-motion mechanis...

Introduction Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is an ethnic disease for Armenian population and represents a significant health care problem. Frequency of carriers of MEFV mutations is 1:3, and the prevalence of FMF is rather high (14-100:10000). During the period between 2003 and 2012 there was a 4.5-fold increase of the total number of children with FMF. Many of these cases have severe clini...

Though laryngeal features have been a central concern of phonologists for more than 25 years (see Kim 1970, Halle and Stevens 1971, Thráinsson 1978, Iverson 1983, Keating 1984, Lombardi 1991, Blevins 1993, Kingston and Diehl 1994, Iverson and Salmons 1995), little attention has been given to the laryngeal specifications of fricatives. Halle and Stevens (1971) suggest that fricatives are general...
