The hydroelastic symmetric response of a floating ice sheet caused by pressure moving either in the lead or on infinite with crack (a zero width) is investigated. modeled as viscoelastic thin plate. water constant depth. flow under potential and linear. A boundary integral method (BIM) for combined finite difference plate free-free edge conditions to solve coupled problem linear hydroelasticity...

These experiments determined the magnitude of loads that rhinoceros beetles (Scarabaeidae) can carry and also the metabolic energy required for carrying loads. I hypothesized that, like many other animals, these beetles would have metabolic rates in direct proportion to the total load (body mass plus added mass). Eight beetles (Xylorctes thestalus) walked at 1 cm s-1 on a motorized treadmill en...

This paper presents changes to the Virtual Network Computing (VNC) model to improve performance on wall-sized, high-resolution tiled displays. VNC does not fully utilize data distributed to the tiles, noticeably reducing interactive performance when panning images and moving windows. By de-centralizing the VNC model, the VNC viewers can exchange pixels amongst each other, improving performance....
