Since in periodic systems, a given element may be present different spatial arrangements displaying vastly physical and chemical properties, an elemental basis set that is independent of properties materials lead to significant simulation inaccuracies. To avoid such lack material specificity within set, we material-specific Gaussian optimization scheme for solids, which simultaneously minimizes...

Since heavy flows account for a significant fraction of network traffic, being able to predict has benefited many management applications mitigating link congestion, scheduling capacity, exposing attacks and so on. Existing machine learning based predictors are largely implemented on the control plane Software Defined Networking (SDN) paradigm. As result, frequent communication between data pla...

Multi-layer context tree (MCT) modeling has been recently applied for lossless compression of multi-layer map images and showed its efficiency. Though it is not applicable directly to compression of gray-scale images, it could be utilized together with bit-plane separation technique. In this work we evaluated the performance of MCT modeling according to three bit-plane separation methods and co...

background and aim: the video head-impulse test (vhit) measures the vestibulo-ocular reflex (vor) driven by each semicircular canal, follo­wing high-acceleration head rotations. the main measurable response is the ratio of eye mov­ement velocity to the angular head velocity, which reflects canal function. although norma­tive data is available for vor gain, most studies only report horizontal vo...

objectives: the aim of this study was to extract suitable spatiotemporal and kinematic parameters to determine how total knee replacement (tkr) alters patients’ knee kinematics during gait, using a rapid and simplified quantitative two-dimensional gait analysis procedure. methods: two-dimensional kinematic gait pattern of 10 participants were collected before and after the tkr surgery, using a ...

Identifying the “heavy hitter” ows or ows with large tra c volumes in the data plane is important for several applications e.g., ow-size aware routing, DoS detection, and tra c engineering. However, measurement in the data plane is constrained by the need for linerate processing (at 10-100Gb/s) and limited memory in switching hardware. We propose HashPipe, a heavy hitter detection algorithm usi...

Distributed video coding (DVC) is an important topic for emerging applications, for example visual sensor networks and mobile video streaming. However, the major handicap applying DVC for real world applications is still the mandatory feedback channel. In previous approaches, the rate allocation algorithm was relying on feedback channel data. Commonly bit plane by bit plane decoding is done in ...

An increasing number of TCP performance issues including TCP Incast, TCP Outcast, and long query completion times are common in large-scale data centers. We demonstrate that the root cause of these problems is that existing techniques are unable to maintain self-clocking or to achieve accurate and rapid packet loss notification. We present cutting payload (CP), a mechanism that simply drops a p...

Replay debugging systems enable the reproduction and debugging of non-deterministic failures in production application runs. However, no existing replay system is suitable for datacenter applications like Cassandra, Hadoop, and Hypertable. For these large scale, distributed, and data intensive programs, existing methods either incur excessive production overheads or don’t scale to multi-node, t...

a fundamental assumption in prosthetic dentistry is that the axis-orbital plane will usually be parallel to the horizontal reference plane. most articulator systems have incorporated this concept into their designs and use orbitale as the anterior reference point for transferring the vertical position of the maxilla to the articulator. clinical observations of cantonese patients suggest that in...
