Typically real-time applications are written in a multi-threaded language and are executed on single threaded control-ow (von Neumann) processors. A software scheduler is used to switch between the application's multiple threads, thereby simulating a multi-threaded processor. Unfortunately software scheduling is problematic if real-time constraints are to be guaranteed and therefore static (pre...

Abstract Background To validate the traditional talk test (TTT) and an alternative (ATT; using a visual analog scale) in overweight/obese (OW-OB) patients to establish its accuracy determining aerobic training zones. Methods We recruited 19 subjects aged 34.9 ± 6.7 years, diagnosed with overweight/obesity (BMI 31.8 5.7). Every subject underwent incremental cycloergometric tests for maximal oxyg...

A robust fault diagnosis and validation strategy for temperature sensors and ow meters in central chilling plant is developed, which is based on the rst law of thermodynamics. The strategy evaluates soft sensor faults (biases) by examining and minimizing the sum of the squares of concerned mass or steady state energy balance residuals represented by the corrected measurement over a period. It c...

Purpose. Physical therapists (PTs) have direct patient contact, they susceptible to Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMDs), its prevalence among PTs in Jordan has not been reported yet. The significance of this study relies on providing descriptive data about the Jordan. Method. A web-based online survey (Google Forms) was used create survey; it contained a cover letter, consent form an...

Work owmanagement, one of the important technologies for supporting collaborative work, requires database technologies like distributed data management or transaction management. However, as work ow management systems have several heterogeneities like heterogeneity about agents, spatial heterogeneity, temporal heterogeneity, etc., collaboration model for work ow management should resolve these ...

Why-not queries help scientists understand why a given data item was not returned by the executions of a given work�ow. While answering such queries has been investigated for relational databases, there is only one proposal in this area for work�ow provenance, viz. the Why-Not algorithm. This algorithm makes the assumption that the modules implementing the steps of the work�ow preserve the attr...

Machine SUIF 6] is an extension of the SUIF compiler framework that facilitates experiments with machine-speciic optimizations. Just as base SUIF 7] is built on a rich collection of libraries for machine-independent analysis and transformation, machine SUIF has a growing set of libraries for working at the machine level. This note is about the libraries for ow analysis to support ow-directed tr...

Flow control has been studied since the early stages of research in telecommunication networks. In these early studies the term ow control has been used to describe almost any type of network control. With the rapid growth of telecommunication networks control and management, ow control has evolved as a distinct class of algorithms and substantial research e ort has been devoted to its study. A...
