Evaluation of power dissipation is a critical step in the design of today’s ICs. Power disssipation is strongly input pattern dependent and hence, to obtain accurate power values, one must simulate the circuit with a large number of input vectors that typify the application data. The goal of this paper is to present an effective and robust technique for compacting a large sequence of input vect...

There are numerous active and abandoned waste sites in the US and worldwide. Post‐closure development of these sites is desirable from an environmental, societal and economical perspective. However, the post‐closure development of landfills presents many challenges. A major challenge is the generally soft nature of the municipal solid waste (MSW) and the high pote...

Yazdan Aghaghiri and Massoud Pedram Department of Electrical Engineering-Systems University of Southern California Los Angeles, CA Abstract In this paper, we introduce Dynamic Multiple-sector Encoding (DME), which is an irredundant encoding technique that can effectively exploit locality in different kinds of data streams. The basic idea is to have a set of registers called sector heads that ar...

To gain insight into the conformational properties and compaction of megabase-long chromatin molecules, we reconstituted chromatin from T4 phage DNA (165 kb) and recombinant human histone octamers (HO). The unimolecular compaction, induced by divalent Mg2+ or tetravalent spermine4+ cations, studied by single-molecule fluorescence microscopy (FM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) techniques, re...

We study, formally and experimentally, the trade-off in temporal and spatial performance when managing contiguous pieces of memory using the explicit, dynamic memory management system Compact-fit (CF). The key property of CF is that temporal and spatial performance can be bounded, related, and predicted in constant time through the notion of partial and incremental compaction. Partial compactio...

Dynamic roller compaction has become the common method for near-surface compaction, because dynamic rollers are much more efficient compared to static rollers. Two types of excitation are mainly used for dynamic roller compaction, the vibratory and the oscillatory roller. In the presented study the differences in functioning, mode of operation and loading the soil are outlined for the two types...
