The joined-wing is a new concept of the airplane wing. The fore-wing and the aft-wing are joined together in a joined-wing. The range and loiter are longer than those of a conventional wing. The joined-wing can lead to increased aerodynamic performance and reduction of the structural weight. In this research, dynamic response optimization of a joined-wing is carried out by using equivalent stat...

MapReduce framework is the de facto standard in Hadoop. Considering the data locality in data centers, the load balancing problem of map tasks is a special case of affinity scheduling problem. There is a huge body of work on affinity scheduling, proposing heuristic algorithms which try to increase data locality in data centers like Delay Scheduling and Quincy. However, not enough attention has ...

There are a series of very eecient sequential algorithms that generate irregular trees during the process of detecting shapes in images. These algorithms are based on the Fast Hough Transform and are used for solving the most complex stages of detection when the production of the parameters is uncoupled. However, the parallelization of these algorithms is complex, and the problem of load distri...

This paper discusses the data distribution problem for inherently sequential algorithms, such as the LU factorization in linear algebra, when computed on heterogeneous machines. These algorithms present additional difficulties to optimize the processing time due to the fact that the computational load for data matrix columns increases with their index, requiring a fine tuned load assignment and...

one of the most challenges in parallel computing is how to balance the load over participated processors. Imbalance states usually increase the execution time and thus decrease the performance and minimize the utilization of computing resources. Two main types of load balancing strategies are discussed in literature; static and dynamic. Few works were focused to combine both of them as hybrid s...

Plantar pressure provides useful information to assess the feet’s condition. These systems have emerged as popular tools in clinical environment. These systems present errors and no compensation information is presented by the manufacturer, leading to uncertainty in the measurements. Ten healthy subjects, 5 females and 5 males, were recruited. Lateral load distribution, antero-posterior load di...

The use of static load testing in optimising design and providing verification of suitability and constructability continues to be unsurpassed in the foundation industry. The utilisation of top load reaction testing appears to be that with which most European engineers are familiar, but a variation on this, which has become just as conventional in some parts of the world, is the use of bi-direc...

The problem of minimizing mean response time of generic jobs submitted to a heterogenous distributed computer systems is considered in this paper. A static load balancing strategy, in which decision of redistribution of loads does not depend on the state of the system, is used for this purpose. The article is closely related to a previous article on the same topic. The present article points ou...
