This paper presents a smart sensing strip for noninvasively monitoring respiratory flow in real time. The monitoring system comprises a monolithically-integrated flexible hot-film flow sensor adhered on a molded flexible silicone case, where a miniaturized conditioning circuit with a Bluetooth4.0 LE module are packaged, and a personal mobile device that wirelessly acquires respiratory data tran...

In this paper, we describe a 100Gbps capable OpenFlow based Science DMZ approach which combines adaptive IDS load balancing, dynamic traffic filtering and a novel IDS based technique to detect “good” traffic flows and forward around performance challenged institutional firewalls. Evaluation of this approach was conducted using GridFTP and Iperf3. Results indicate this is a viable approach to en...

Particle algorithms are becoming a standard tool for the dynamical simulation of granular flows. An overview of the standard techniques is given along with a discussion of their suitability for multi-processor machines of the vector or scaler type. In particular, the issues surrounding efficiency and load-balancing are discussed. Furthermore, two examples illustrating the potential uses of such...

We explore whether the pattern of international equity returns, equity portfolio flows, and exchange rate returns are consistent with the hypothesis that (unhedged) global investors rebalance their portfolio in order to limit their exchange rate exposure when there are (1) relative equity return and (2) exchange rate shocks. We also explore whether (3) equity flow shocks influence the exchange ...

The concept of a multi-tenant database cluster offers new approaches in implementing a data storage for cloud applications. One of the most important questions to solve is finding a load-balancing algorithm to be used by the cluster, which is able to effectively use all available resources. This paper discusses theoretical foundations for such an algorithm in the simplest case when the flow of ...

Adaptive numerical methods offer greater efficiency than traditional numerical methods by concentrating computational effort in regions of the problem domain where the solution is difficult to obtain. In this paper, we describe progress toward adding mesh refinement to MPSalsa, a computer program developed at Sandia National Laboratories to solve coupled three-dimensional fluid flow and detaile...
