Back-pressure is a logical mechanism to control the flow of information on a communication channel of a latency-insensitive system (LIS) while guaranteeing that no packet is lost. Back-pressure is necessary for building open LISs and it represents an interesting design alternative also for closed LISs because it makes possible to realize highly modular implementations with more predictable feat...

A liquid–liquid interface (LLI) at liquid-infused surfaces (LISs) plays a significant role in promoting slip flow and reducing frictional drag. By employing the transverse many-body dissipative particle dynamics simulations, behavior of local effective flat LLI for shear flows over periodically grooved LISs has been studied. With increasing viscosity ratio between working fluid lubricant fluid,...

For multipath channels with a high number of taps and signal constellation points the APP (BCJR) soft-in/soft-out detector in a turboscheme has a prohibitively high number of states. We replace it by a novel list-sequential stack (LISS) algorithm using augmented paths and an auxiliary stack for a length dependent bias term. For BERs lower than 10 the turbo system with a LISS equalizer has almos...

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) occurs when an external force injures the brain. While clinical outcomes of TBI can vary widely in severity, few mechanisms of neurodegeneration following TBI have been identified for treatment. We propose a model for studying TBI using laser-induced shockwaves (LISs). An optical system was developed that allows single cells to be studied in response to LISs. Our sy...
