effect of small al additions, from 0.14% to 0.31% ai, on the hot deformation behavior of low carbon steels containing 1%cu-1.2%mn was investigated in the temperature range of 750-800•c over the strain rate range of 1o.3.1o.1s•1 by a hot compression testing machine. the flow curves obtained, exhibited typical characteristics of dynamic recovery type of softening mechanism, and the critical strai...

thermal modeling of an automotive cabin was performed in this paper to predict the inside cabin air temperature. to implement this task, thermal and ventilation loads were estimated and the mass and energy balance conservation equations for dry air and water vapor with considering a new parameter (air circulation ratio) as well as the balance equations of internal components of a cabin were der...

Air conditioning contributes significantly to building energy consumption in hot climate regions. In addition to greater cooling requirements in hot climates, cooling equipment efficiency decreases with increasing outdoor temperature. Therefore, it is advantageous to develop improved technologies that can achieve higher efficiency at high ambient conditions. In this paper, two novel compression...

The purpose of this study is to survey cross section changes of the animal brain samples during the tension and compression tests and comparison of the experimental results for three animals: bovine, sheep, and rabbit. A linear elastic theory with considering the necking in tension and barreling in compression has been considered for brain tissue. Bridgman method for tension and cross section u...

Test compression / decompression using variable-length coding is an efficient method for reducing the test application cost, i.e., test application time and the size of the storage of an LSI tester. However, some coding techniques impose slow test application, and consequently a large test application time is required despite the high compression. In this paper, we clarify the fact that test ap...

With the release of Rdb version 7.0, Oracle offered a powerful and economical new solution to the reliability problem that has confounded data processing professionals from the earliest days of computing. Because of disk drive failures, the data we store in “persistent” storage isn’t really persistent. Disasters beyond our control—fires, floods and explosions—can destroy whole computer systems....

One of the major challenges in testing a System-on-a-Chip (SOC) is dealing with the large test data size. To reduce the volume of test data, several efficient test data compression techniques have been recently proposed. In this paper, we propose hybrid test compression techniques that combine the Geometric-Primitives-Based compression technique with the frequency-directed run-length (FDR) and ...
