This paper presents the design, implementation, and evaluation of IO-Lite, a uni ed I/O bu ering and caching system for general-purpose operating systems. IO-Lite uni es all bu ering and caching in the system, to the extent permitted by the hardware. In particular, it allows applications, interprocess communication, the lesystem, the le cache, and the network subsystem to share a single physica...

In this paper, a novel model-based LPV controller synthesis approach is proposed for designing fixed-structure LPV controllers based on an input-output (IO) representation form. Both the LPV-IO LPV model and the LPV-IO controller are assumed to depend affinely and statically on the scheduling variables. By using an implicit representation of the system model and the controller, an exact represe...

OBJECTIVES Two- and 13-week inhalation toxicities of indium-tin oxide (ITO) and indium oxide (IO) were characterized for risk assessments of workers exposed to ITO. METHODS F344 rats of both sexes were exposed by inhalation to ITO or IO aerosol for 6 h/day, 5 day/wk for 2 wk at 0, 0.1, 1, 10 or 100 mg/m(3) or 13 wk at 0, 0.1 or 1 mg/m(3). An aerosol generator and inhalation exposure system wa...

Current state of the art runtime systems, built for managing cloud environments, almost always assume resource sharing among multiple users and applications. In large part, these runtime systems rely on functionalities of the node-local operating systems to divide the local resources among the applications that share a node. While OSes usually achieve good resource sharing by creating distinct ...

I n the near future, it will be necessary for the senior citi:ens to nurse the oiher senior citizens because of declining populaiion of children and increasing a new type of family. W e haoe been developing welfare robots which can support lives o f t h e senior ciiirens and have sensibility io lighten the burden imposed on nursing. The measnrement. of emotions from ihe usual conversation is co...

This study implements and tests a mathematical programming model to estimate interregional, interindustry transaction flows in a national system of economic regions based on an interregional accounting framework and initial information of interregional shipments. A national input–output (IO) table, regional data on gross output, value-added, exports, imports, and final demand at sector level ar...

[1] Within the Subantarctic Mode Water (SAMW) density level, we study temporal changes in salinity, nutrients, oxygen and TTD (Transit Time Distribution) ages in the western (W) and eastern (E) subtropical gyre of the Indian Ocean (IO) from 1987 to 2002. Additionally, changes in Total Alkalinity (TA) and Dissolved Inorganic Carbon (DIC) are evaluated between 1995 and 2002. The mechanisms behind...

[Purpose] We investigated the effects of unstable conditions on the electromyographic (EMG) activity of the rectus abdominis (RA) and the transverse abdominis-internal oblique (TrA-IO) muscles, and lumbar kinematics during unilateral upper-limb resistance exercises using elastic tubing bands. [Subjects] Twelve healthy males were recruited. [Methods] The subjects performed isometric left shoulde...

following the categorical approach to universal algebra through algebraic theories, proposed by f.~w.~lawvere in his phd thesis, this paper aims at introducing a similar setting for general topology. the cornerstone of the new framework is the notion of emph{categorically-algebraic} (emph{catalg}) emph{topological theory}, whose models induce a category of topological structures. we introduce t...

In this comment of the article [arXiv:2002.01150] "Locating source field lines Jovian decametric radio emissions" by YuMing Wang et al., 2020, we discuss assumptions used authors to compute beaming angle Jupiter s emissions induced moon Io. Their method, relying on multi-point observations, was applied a single event observed 14th March 2014 Wind and both STEREO A/B spacecraft from 5 16 MHz, er...
