To address the issue of vibration discomfort caused by excessive in cockpit, a method that allocates reduction index (VRI) to different transfer paths is proposed. By combining identified contribution sources using path analysis (TPA) with evaluated relative difficulty levels design these through fuzzy analytical hierarchy process, allocation weights can be constructed, which enables VRI at tar...

We propose extensions to the NFSv4 client architecture that provide recovery services, checkpointing and logging to parallel applications. Fault-tolerance relies on NFSv4 clients forming client clusters that share delegation state and transfer data among their local caches. We contend that parallel extensions to NFSv4 should not be limited to file system technologies, such as parallelizing or v...

Several studies have shown that the capacity of visuo-spatial working memory is limited by complexity. Using a variant of the Corsi blocks task, this paper investigates the effect of complexity of the to-be-remembered path on visuo-spatial memory span. Redundancy was determined by three Gestalt principles: symmetry, repetition, and continuation. Experiment 1 revealed an effect of path complexit...

We propose a linear time algorithm, called G2DLP, for generating 2D lattice L(n1, n2) paths, equivalent to two-item } B , {A 2 1 n n multiset permutations, with a given number of turns. The usage of turn has three meanings: in the context of multiset permutations, it means that two consecutive elements of a permutation belong to two different items; in lattice path enumerations, it means that t...

Advanced channel reservation is emerging as an important feature of ultra high-speed networks requiring the transfer of large files. Applications include scientific data transfers and database backup. In this paper, we present two new, online algorithms for advanced reservation, called BatchAll and BatchLim, that are guaranteed to achieve optimal throughput performance, based on multi-commodity...

Two distinct approaches, the Frenkel-Dirac time-dependent variation and the Haken-Strobl model, are adopted to study energy transfer dynamics in single-ring and double-ring light-harvesting (LH) systems in purple bacteria. It is found that the inclusion of long-range dipolar interactions in the two methods results in significant increase in intra- or inter-ring exciton transfer efficiency. The ...

During the planning phase of modern, complex, block-structured, large-area located, but still landscape-harmonized health-care buildings, the key is the optimal positioning of the blocks and functions, simultaneously ensuring the most-effective backup-paths for any transportation route failure in the buildings in order to speed up system operation, reduce maintenance costs and especially to imp...
