Tessellation is a manycore OS predicated on two central ideas: Space-Time Partitioning (STP) and Two-Level Scheduling. STP exploits novel hardware and software mechanisms to provide performance isolation and strong partitioning of resources (such as cores or memory bandwidth) among interacting software components, called “Cells”. Two-Level Scheduling separates global decisions about the allocat...

the objective of this study was to evaluate different pistachio hullers and determine the proper harvest time of pistachio nuts for hulling. three pistachio hulling machines (helical drum, helical- blade drum, rubber drum) at three harvest times and 15 days interval were evaluated. the hulling efficiency, percentage of damaged nuts, faulty hulled nuts and unhulled nuts were measured at each tim...

Cell formation problem mainly address how machines should be grouped and parts be processed in cells. In dynamic environments, product mix and demand change in each period of the planning horizon. Incorporating such assumption in the model increases flexibility of the system to meet customer’s requirements. In this model, to ensure the reliability of the system in presence of unreliable machine...

electric and hybrid electric vehicles are attractive candidates for sustainable transportation due to its higher efficiency and low emission. the critical choice on the electric motors is its capability of motoring and regenerative braking characteristics. switched reluctance machines are viable candidate as with proper control and extended constant power range operation replacing the multi-gea...

The reconfigurable vibrating screen (RVS) machine is an innovative beneficiation machine designed for screening different mineral particles of varying sizes and volumes required by the customers’ through the geometric transformation of its screen structure. The successful RVS machine upkeep requires its continuous, availability, reliability and maintainability. The RVS machine downtime, which c...

harvesting practices of potato is one of the most difficult, troublesome and sensitive stages. potatoes enter the machine with huge amounts of clod and stones: in the meantime separation of potato some stone and clod, which are the same size as of that the potatoes, shall be confide red a major problem. many methods of study by investigators are based on physical properties of potato, stone and...

greater levels of complexity in tunnelling with tunnel boring machine (tbm) allow higher chances of failures that may increase the potential hazardous risks. this paper presents the results of a study on tbm reliability using risk analysis. machinery failure mode and effect analysis was applied to analyze the risks of a tbm using qs9000 and sae.j1739 recommendations. for this purpose, 48 failur...

the price of single point diamond tools with a sharp tip is very high due to complex machining process and highly expensive machining equipments. yet, the performance is not quite satisfactory. in this paper, we have presented a very simple and cost effective machining process for the sharpening and polishing of diamond stylus using low energy reactive ion beam machining (ribm). in our method, ...

evaporation is a fundamental parameter in the hydrological cycle. this study examines the performance of m5model tree and artificial neural network (ann) models in estimating potential evapotranspiration calculated bypenman- monteith and hargreaves- samani equations. daily weather data from two meteorological stations in asemi-arid climate of iran, namely kerman and zahedan, were collected duri...
