Cellular automata are dynamical systems which emulate natural evolution. Cellular automata is a part of Artificial Life. The paper explains the basics of Artificial Life and Cellular Automata. It also examines the basic building block of such systems that is Langton’s Loops. The paper discusses various applications of Artificial Life and Cellular Automata and also intends to present a brief rev...

Thixotropic properties are one of the low temperature rheology behaviors of gelled waxy crudes. In order to study the thixotropic behavior of gelled waxy crudes oil under cyclic loading of linear increasing and decreasing of shear rate, three different types of waxy crude oil were studied experimentally by using MARSIII rheometer. It is found that hysteresis loop area could represent strength o...

In many parallel applications, network latency causes a dramatic loss in processor utilization. This paper examines software pipelining as a technique for network latency hiding. It quanti es the potential improvements with detailed, instruction-level simulations. The benchmarks used are the Livermore Loop kernels and BLAS Level 1. These were parallelized and run on the instruction-level RISC s...

Acquiring models of the environment belongs to the fundamental tasks of mobile robots. In the past, several researchers have focused on the problem of simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). Classical SLAM approaches are passive in the sense that they only process the perceived sensor data and do not influence the motion of the mobile robot. In this paper, we present a novel integrated ap...
