An analytical solution of steady-state dynamic response of a multilayered viscoelastic medium to a moving distributed load is obtained using a novel approach that combines transfer matrix method with Sun’s convolution representation integrated over impulse response function of the layered medium. The layered media under consideration include elastic and viscoelastic media with four different vi...

This study evaluated the effect of angiotensin II receptor blockade on cardiac autonomic control adaptation and urine output in response to acute isotonic volume load in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and asymptomatic to mildly symptomatic heart failure. Left ventricular volumes and heart rate variability measurements were assessed at baseline and during intravenous salin...

This Letter deals with an analysis of bending edge waves propagating along the free edge of a Kirchhoff plate supported by a Winkler foundation. The presence of a foundation leads to a non-zero cut-off frequency for this wave, along with a local minimum of the associated phase velocity. This minimum phase velocity corresponds to a critical speed of an edge moving load and is analogous to that i...

This paper evaluates linear models for predicting the Digital Unix five-second host load average from 1 to 30 seconds into the future. A detailed statistical study of a large number of long, fine grain load traces from a variety of real machines leads to consideration of the Box-Jenkins models (AR, MA, ARMA, ARIMA), and the ARFIMA models (due to selfsimilarity.) These models, as well as a simpl...

An overview of the currently available smart power ICs reveals that a good design should include sensing circuits for protection, analog multiplexer for effic ient use of hardware and analog-todigital converter for real-time monitoring. This research deals with the circuit design and implementation of an advanced smart PIC which features a temperature sensing circuit, a load current detector, a...

This paper focuses on load management in looselycoupled federated distributed systems. We present a distributed mechanism for moving load between autonomous participants using bilateral contracts that are negotiated offline and that set bounded prices for moving load. We show that our mechanism has good incentive properties, efficiently redistributes excess load, and has a low overhead in pract...

there area lot of mobile computer devices with a variety of applications and users tend to use them more. due to the limitations of mobile devices, running most of the procedures are impossible. to resolve this problem, mobile devices can be connected to the grid, to use the facilities of grid. on the other hand the communication mechanisms are different for each device and they cannot be conne...
