With the growing interest in using distributed task migration algorithms for dynamic thermal management (DTM) in multi-core chips comes the challenge of their rigorous verification. Traditional analysis techniques, like simulation and emulation, cannot cope with the design complexity and distributed nature of such algorithms and thus compromise on the rigor and accuracy of the analysis results....

This article presents a new multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) constrained discrete-time modeling (DTM) approach for dynamic block-oriented processes that does not require the nonlinear steady state characteristics to be known prior to model development. This approach uses an efficient statistical experimental design to provide design points for sequential step tests. The DTM is developed f...

Newly synthesized peroxisomal proteins containing a cleavable type 2 targeting signal (PTS2) are transported to the peroxisome by a cytosolic PEX5-PEX7 complex. There, the trimeric complex becomes inserted into the peroxisomal membrane docking/translocation machinery (DTM), a step that leads to the translocation of the cargo into the organelle matrix. Previous work suggests that PEX5 is retaine...

RedesignIT is a computer program that uses model-based reasoning to generate and evaluate proposals of redesign plans for engineered devices. These proposals describe how the design parameters could be changed to achieve a specified performance goal. Equally important, the program proposes complementary modifications that may be necessary to counteract the undesirable side effects of the primar...

Block copolymer micelles have been prepared with a dithiomaleimide (DTM) fluorophore located in either the core or shell. Poly(triethylene glycol acrylate)-b-poly(tert-butyl acrylate) (P(TEGA)-b-P(tBA)) was synthesized by RAFT polymerization, with a DTM-functional acrylate monomer copolymerized into either the core forming P(tBA) block or the shell forming P(TEGA) block. Self-assembly by direct...

Smallholder tree plantations are expanding in the steepland tropics due to demand for timber and interest in ecosystem services, such as carbon storage. Financial mechanisms are developing to compensate vegetation carbon stores. However, measuring biomass—necessary for accessing carbon funds—at small scales is costly and time-intensive. Therefore, we test whether low-cost drones can accurately ...

The paper discusses the use of fast circuit-switching in future highcapacity networks. We believe that the capacity and the size of the public network will increase to an extent where it is infeasible to rely on bandwidth optimization and dynamic congestion control mechanisms [8]. Dynamic synchronous Transfer Mode (DTM) is a new protocol suite based on synchronous fast circuit switching. It is ...

The approach of using an airborne laser scanning for DTM generation has made great progress recently. However, it is not always clear the reliability and the quality of the geometry that characterise the generated DTM. Thus, a special test was conducted to assess the quality and the reliability of the generated DTM via an airborne laser scanning system. To perform this test, an airborne laser s...

Digital terrain model (DTM) is one of the important input parameters in urban flood application. This is because it influences the flow direction, flow velocity, flood extend and flood depth. LiDAR offers accurate DTM for large areas within a short period of time. From the overall LiDAR data processes, filtering (classification) poses the greatest challenge. Evaluation and comparison of current...

In this paper the random Differential Transform Method (DTM) is used to solve a time-dependent random linear differential equation. The mean square convergence of the random DTM is proven. Approximations to the mean and standard deviation functions of the solution stochastic process are shown in several illustrative examples. AMS Subject Classifications: 65L20, 60G15, 39A10.
