Microfluidic devices can use steady streaming caused by the ultrasonic oscillation of one or many gas bubbles in a liquid to drive small scale flow. Such streaming flows are difficult to evaluate, as analytic solutions are not available for any but the simplest cases, and direct computational fluid dynamics models are unsatisfactory due to the large difference in flow velocity between the stead...

5 We present a semi-streaming algorithm for k-mer spectral analysis of 6 DNA sequencing reads, together with a derivative approach that is fully 7 streaming. The approach can also be applied to genomic, transcriptomic, 8 and metagenomic data sets. We develop two tools for short-read analysis 9 based on these approaches, a method for semi-streaming k-mer-based error 10 trimming, and a method for...

In this paper we explore the use of Priority-progress streaming (PPS) for live video streaming applications with tight latency constraints. PPS is a technique for the delivery of continuous media over variable bit-rate channels. It is based on the simple idea of reordering media components within a time window into priority order before transmission. The main concern when using PPS for live vid...

Peer-to-peer systems become a promising alternative for traditional server-client system to providing video streaming; the topology is the one of most important part of these systems. This paper talking about the simple concept of topology in p2p live video streaming and presents a review for p2p live video streaming topology, in this paper three main types of topology that most used in p2p liv...

Video streaming methods have evolved greatly over the years. Today, the most prevalent technique to stream live and video on-demand is the adaptive HTTP streaming and is used by several commercial vendors. In this paper, we pesent an approximate analytic model for live adaptive streaming over HTTP. Using this model, we propose a new rate control algorithm that makes the rate transitions less fr...

ABSTRACT Acoustic streaming in a multi-well microplate is investigated using two different ultrasonic actuation frequency-schemes: Single-frequency and frequency-modulation. The streaming is tracked by the use of 1 μm fluorescent polymer beads and microparticle image velocimetry. The suspension also contained human B cells for studying the acoustic trapping and aggregation performance simultane...

emergency departments (eds) are the most challenging ward with respect to patient delay. the goal of this study is to present strategies that have proven to reduce delay and overcrowding in eds. in this review article, initial electronic database search resulted in a total of 1006 articles. thirty articles were included after reviewing full texts. inclusion criteria were assessments of real pat...

A video streaming application needs to employ a transport layer protocol to transmit packetized media data. Since TCP is the most dominant protocol over the Internet, it is reasonable to consider TCP for video streaming. However, the AIMD behavior and retransmission timeouts of TCP may introduce unacceptable end-to-end delay, and therefore it is difficult to provide good quality of streaming vi...
