This paper describes Mirador, a dynamic placement service implemented as part of an enterprise scale-out storage product. Mirador is able to encode multidimensional placement goals relating to the performance, failure response, and workload adaptation of the storage system. Using approaches from dynamic constraint satisfaction, Mirador migrates both data and client network connections in order ...

agricultural crops and food materials exert frictional forces on agricultural machinery elements and on storage walls during their harvest, transportation, processing and storage. coefficient of friction is an important parameter to be predetermined in designing equipments and evaluating processes. an assessment of the coefficient of friction for agricultural materials is usually done through s...

Bugs in network hardware can cause tremendous problems. However, programmable devices have the potential to provide greater visibility into internal behavior of devices, allowing us more quickly find and identify In this paper, we a taxonomy data plane bugs, use derive Portable Test Architecture (PTA) which offers essential abstractions for testing on variety devices. PTA is implemented with no...

purpose: this study aimed to assess the effect of boston brace on trunk muscles length as well as lower limbs and trunk range of motion in patients with idiopathic scoliosis. methods: five patients with idiopathic scoliosis with c shape curve and mean (sd) age, height, and weight of respectively 12.61(1.16) years, 1.53(0.08) m, and 35.6(6.1) kg participated in this study. spatiotemporal paramet...

This paper proposes a Depth from Defocus (DFD) model based on geometric constraints. The two measured defocused images match with each other with this method including geometric constraints, which bypasses estimation of the radiance. These geometric constraints vary with different relative position of image plane and image focus. The experimental results on the synthetic and real images show th...
