* This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 9875177. Abstract Input buffered switches with Virtual Output Queues (VOQ) are scalable to very high speeds, but require switch matrix scheduling algorithms to achieve high throughput. Existing scheduling algorithms based on parallel requestgrant-accept cycles cannot natively support variable length ...

The introduction of Eurocode in Kazakhstan allows for the application modern technological innovations and elimination technical barriers realization international projects. It is significant to study standards design requirements provided Eurocode. This presents a comparative analysis Kazakhstani European approaches geotechnical foundations provides methods considered codes practice. Three dif...

A classical result of Jörgens, Calabi and Pogorelov states that any strictly convex smooth function u with det(D2u)= constant in Rn must be a quadratic polynomial. We establish the following extension: any strictly convex smooth function u with det(D2u) being 1-periodic in each variable must be the sum of a quadratic polynomial and a function which is 1-periodic in each variable. Given any posi...

A large number of different Pseudo-R measures for some common limited 2 dependent variable models are surveyed. Measures include those based solely on the maximized likelihoods with and without the restriction that slope coefficients are zero, those which require further calculations based on parameter estimates of the coefficients and variances and those that are based solely on whether the qu...

Because of difficulty in inspection and retrofit of foundation in comparison with other elements, the common design philosophy is to avoid any nonlinear deformation in the foundation. This paper shows that by employing controlled foundation nonlinearity, in predetermined sections with arrangements for inspection and retrofit, it is possible to reduce seismic demand on superstructure. Localizing...

A nite element formulation to deal with the friction contact problem between an elastic body and a rigid foundation is presented. An augmented Lagrangian method, which incorporates two Lagrange multipliers and a slack variable in the constraint equation, is developed. In this method, the solution is achieved through a Newton-Raphson monolithic iterative strategy and leads to simple implementati...
