Many studies have shown that significant amounts of parallelism exist at different granularities. Execution models such as superscalar and VLIW exploit parallelism from a single thread. Multithreaded processors make a step towards exploiting parallelism from different threads, but are not geared to exploit parallelism at different granularities (fine and medium grain). In this paper we present ...

More and more applications and functionalities have been introduced to smartphones, but smartphones have limited resources on computation and battery. To enhance the capacity of smartphones, an interesting idea is to use Cloud Computing and virtualization techniques to shift the workload from smartphones to a computational infrastructure. In this paper, we propose a new framework which keeps a ...

Regenerative medicine and in vivo biosensor applications require the formation of mature vascular networks for long-term success. This study investigated whether biodegradable porous membranes could induce the formation of a vascularized fibrous capsule and, if so, the effect of degradation kinetics on neovascularization. Poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) and poly(dl-lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) me...

This paper describes a new concept for propelling a projectile to hypervelocities and demonstrates the feasibility by numerical simulations. The concept employs imploding blast waves to accelerate a projectile which travels down a launch tube. The launch tube can be open to the atmosphere or sealed and maintained at some low pressure to minimize drag. The launch tube has a liner that contains a...

In order to correctly determine if the software architecture for a system complies with the user requirements, it is necessary to review the software architecture description. There are different means available to perform these reviews ranging from checklists to detailed step-by-step protocols. In this paper we propose the ARTs, a new set of reading techniques focused on software architecture....

Aurora Computed Tomography (ACT) is a method for retrieving the three-dimensional (3-D) distribution of the volume emission rate from monochromatic auroral images obtained simultaneously by a multi-point camera network. We extend this method to a Generalized-Aurora Computed Tomography (G-ACT) that reconstructs the energy and spatial distributions of precipitating electrons from multi-instrument...

This technical report summarizes a year-long undergraduate research project by the first author. As the development of individual and cooperating autonomous robots advances, the need for a robust and reliable communication method becomes apparent. This paper summarizes a study conducted to examine the feasibility of implementing Dual-Tone, Multi-Frequency (DTMF) as an alternative mean of commun...
