This paper investigates the impact of proper tile size selection on the power the power consumption for tile-based processors. We refer to this investigation as a tile granularity study. This is accomplished by distilling the architectural cost of tiles with different computational widths into a system metric we call the Granularity Indicator (GI). The GI is then compared against the bisection ...

We describe R&D results on optical properties of a scintillating tile//ber system for the SDC barrel electromagnetic calorimeter. The tile//ber system uses a wavelength shifting ber to readout the signal of a scintillating plate (tile) and a clear ber to transmit the signal to a phototube. In the SDC calorimeter design, four of tile//ber systems are grouped as a 22 tile package so that the gap ...

On the basis of rich documentation, the paper defines the place of analytical chemistry in process control as well as the contribution of this science to the development of modern industrial chemistry. At present, analytical chemistry plays a decisivç role in the control of technological processes, and becomes one of the sciences bringing a particular contribution both to the production of good...

In some quality control applications, the quality of a process or a product is described by the relationship between a response variable and one or more explanatory variables, called a profile. Moreover, in most practical applications, the qualitative characteristic of a product/service is vague, uncertain and linguistic and cannot be precisely stated. The purpose of this paper is to propose a ...

We discuss theoretical aspects of the self-assembly of triangular tiles, in particular, right triangular tiles and equilateral triangular tiles, and the self-assembly of hexagonal tiles. Contrary to intuition, we show that triangular tile assembly systems and square tile assembly systems cannot be simulated by each other in a non-trivial way. More precisely, there exists a square tile assembly ...

This paper describes intermediate results of the European project e.bip (IST-1999-10710), which aims to innovate the bidding and procurement processes of tile layers by establishing a new broker service in the supply chain of the tile industry. The paper outlines the concept and functionality of the overall e.bip system, i.e., of the “Master Broker System” (a web-based information broker) and t...

In this appendix, we prove the undecidability of the following problems: the constrained domino problem (proved undecidable by Wang): give a tile set and a tile as input, ask whether it is possible to form a tiling of the plane containing the given tile; the unconstrained domino problem (Berger's Theorem): the input is a tile set and the question is whether one can tile the plane with it; the p...

BACKGROUND Manual material handling is one of the major health and safety hazards in industry. This study aims to assess the lifting tasks, before and after intervention using NIOSH lifting equation and Manual Handling Assessment Charts (MAC). METHODS This interventional study was performed in 2011 in a tile manufacturing industry in Hamadan, located in the West of Iran. The prevalence of mus...
