This paper presents a technique, called loop dissevering, to temporally partitioning any type of loop presented in programming languages. The technique can be used in the presence of complex loops that oversize the physically available hardware resources. Unlike loop fission or distribution, the technique can be applied to all types of loops and it is not constrained by loop dependences. Thus, ...

Certain reproductive techniques culture embryos in vitro; however, little is known about the impact of culture on fetal growth. Coculture of day 1ovine zygotes on a bovine granulosa cell layer to blastocysts followed by transfer to synchronous recipients increased fetal weight by 11 and 40% at days 61 and 125, respectively, compared with the transfer of in vivo-produced blastocysts. Plantaris m...

Modular multilevel converters (MMCs) have been recognized as the most attractive technology for high voltage direct current (HVDC) applications during last years. Their advantages include ability to freely control internally stored energy in distributed submodules (SMs) and independently AC DC powers. Recent studies showed that an MMC can take advantage of this degree freedom supply ancillary s...

A book is a book – or is it? With present-day, affordable technology, we can scale a book to become a spatial object, or even a space in itself, of almost arbitrary size. We describe our design of and experiences with a generic interactive installation, called Viskbook, that provides a convincing illusion of oversize books, allowing the spectator to turn over the pages using natural and intuiti...

Companhia Brasileira de Alumínio (CBA) has bauxite processing plants at Poços de Caldas and Itamarati de Minas, and a new processing plant at Miraí that has been operating since June, 2008; all of them are in the State of Minas Gerais. The plants haveunits for the crushing, scrubbing and screening operations. The screened oversize is the concentrate or washed bauxite. At Itamarati de Minas, the...
