dissolution pressure and nozzle temperature effects on particle size and distribution were investigated for ress (rapid expansion of supercritical solution) process. supercritical co2 was used as solvent and ibuprofen was applied as the model component in all runs. the resulting ibuprofen nano-particles (about 50 nm in optimized runs) were analyzed by sem and laser diffraction particle size ana...

Scheduling algorithms in CDMA packet systems need to allocate codes and power based on channel state information and queue information. For finite queue sizes, the allocated rate should be less than or equal to the maximum rate required to clear the whole queue. This ensures that resources are not under-utilized. Although queue size and head-of-the-line packet delays have been considered in exi...

We treat a single–server vacation queue with queue–length dependent vacation schedules. This subsumes the single–server vacation queue with exhaustive service discipline and the vacation queue with Bernoulli schedule as special cases. The lengths of vacation times depend on the number of customers in the system at the beginning of a vacation. The arrival process is a batch–Markovian arrival pro...

The queue size at a bottleneck would impact the performance of TCP protocols, especially when running a single TCP flow in networks with a large bandwidth-delay product. However, queue size has been not well considered in experiments. This paper shows how bottleneck queue size influences TCP protocols performance. Bursityness of advanced TCPs is examined. Ways of estimating queue size are intro...

abstract in recent years, many researchers have attempted to estimate the soil hydraulic functions (e.g. soil moisture characteristics curve, and hydraulic conductivity function) using particle-size distribution (psd) curve. in these studies, an accurate mathematical representation of psd is required for fitting the observed data. so far, some mathematical models were developed with different l...

empirical studies have shown that the size distribution of firms can be described as a lognormal or pareto distribution. however, these studies have focused on developed countries and little attention has been devoted to developing countries. using the variable of number of employees as a measure of firm size, this paper investigates the shape of firm size distribution in the food & beverages i...

We consider a queue with finite buffer where the buffer size limits the amount of work that can be stored in the queue. The arrival process is a Poisson or a Markov modulated Poisson process. The service times (packet lengths) are iid with a general distribution. Our queue models the systems in the Internet more realistically than the usual M/GI/1/K queue which restricts the number of packets i...

Increasing power dissipation has become a major constraint for future performance gains in the design of microprocessors. In this paper, we present the circuit design of an issue queue for a superscalar processor that leverages transmission gate insertion to provide dynamic low-cost configurability of size and speed. A novel circuit structure dynamically gathers statistics of issue queue activi...
