Correlations in traffic patterns are an important facet of the workloads faced by real systems, andone that has far-reaching consequences on the performance and optimization of the systems involved.While there has been considerable amount of work on understanding the effect of correlations be-tween successive interarrival times, there is very little analytical work in understanding ...

Due to their attractive acquisition time performance, matched filter correlators are widely used in GPS signal acquisition engines. Existing methods to evaluate the GPS signal acquisition engine performance parameters viz. probability of detection and mean acquisition time are based on the assumption that the detection among the neighbouring test cells is independent. However in a matched filte...

Metal foam heat exchangers have considerable advantages in thermal management and heat recovery over several commercially available heat exchangers. In this work, the effects of micro structural metal foam properties, such as porosity, pore and fiber diameters, tortuosity, pore density, and relative density, on the heat exchanger performance are discussed. The pertinent correlations in the lite...

The genetic and phenotypic associations between performance and feed intake traits of finished gilts (GFI), along with their subsequent reproductive performance and feed intake during lactation (LFI), were estimated using data collected from two maternal lines recorded under the same management system. Ad-libitum feed intake was heritable (h: 0.33±0.08) when recorded in post-finisher gilts or d...

The construct validity and construct responsiveness of the performance scale of the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) was measured in 87 newly admitted patients with chronic pain attending an outpatient rehabilitation clinic. At admission and after 12 wk, patients completed a COPM interview, the Pain Disability Index (PDI), and the RAND 36-Item Health Survey (RAND-36). We determi...

OBJECTIVE The main purposes of this study were to examine, in subjects with chronic hemiparesis following a stroke: (i) the correlations between tests of muscle tone, stiffness, spasticity, paresis and co-contraction, and (ii) the correlations of these tests and measurements of impairment to upper extremity motor performance. DESIGN Prospective, cross-sectional, correlation matrix using sampl...

The purposes of this study were to determine the relationship between performance in the Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test level 1 (YIRT1), the Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test level 2 (YIRT2) and the Yo-Yo endurance test (continuous) (YET) with maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and Wingate anaerobic performance (WaNT) test results in young soccer players (age 15.00 ± 0.0 years, body height 176.3 ±...
