This work presents a simple, stable and fast hair simulation system for interactive graphics applications whose CPU budget for hair simulation is small. Our main contribution is a hair-head collision method that has very little CPU cost and simulates the volumetric effect of hair resting on top of each other without the need for hair-hair collision. We also present a simulation-based hair styli...

This paper proposed a fine-grained modularization framework which decomposes the styling of a typical hypermedia presentation into fine-grained style modules (FGSM). A FGSM presenting a specific fragment of the source content document can be regarded as a building block that can be assembled into a final hypermedia presentation. By switching the FGSMs, a content document can be presented in dif...

HSM functionality has been available with Lustre for several releases and is an important aspect for HPC systems to provide data protection, space savings, and cost efficiencies, and is especially important to the NCSA Blue Waters system. Very few operational HPC centers have deployed HSM with Lustre, and even fewer at the scale of Blue Waters. This paper will describe the goals for HSM in gene...

The Optical Transpose Interconnection System; OTIS for short; optoelectronic interconnection network architecture is an interesting alternative for future-generation parallel processing systems due to its promising and attractive topological properties. Recently, many enhancements were presented on OTIS topologies including the Enhanced OTIS-nCube interconnection networks. Therefore, performanc...

Toyota Motor Corporation is arguably the most successful automotive company in the world, outperforming its US competitors on many fronts, including product quality and engineering productivity. Prior research on Toyota’s product development practice has revealed a number of striking differences with those of US automakers; however, from a design process standpoint, the differences are relative...

Many theorists would agree that, had it not been for the unproven unification of 802.11b and IPv7, the simulation of I/O automata might never have occurred. After years of essential research into superblocks, we demonstrate the study of consistent hashing. In this work we use flexible methodologies to argue that Boolean logic and cache coherence can collude to address this quandary. This follow...

Although great advances have been made over the last two decades in the product development process, tradition and experience still govern many design decisions. The need for innovative tools is apparent now more than ever as the design team tries to cope with multiple requirements such as cost, performance, six-sigma quality, styling, packaging, safety, durability, environmental impact, etc. A...

the detection of protein complexes is an important research problem in bioinformatics, which may help increase our understanding of the biological functions of proteins inside our body. Moreover, new discoveries obtained from identification of protein complexes may be considered important for therapeutic purposes. Several proteins linked with Alzheimer’s disease were investigated. By observing ...

in this paper an optimal controller is proposed for a self-balancing electrical vehicle called segway pt. this vehicle has one platform and two wheels on the sides and the rider stands on the platform. a handlebar, as a navigator, is attached to the body of segway, with which the rider controls the vehicle. since segway uses electrical energy produced by batteries, resource consumption manageme...
