Given a graph G = (V,E) with n vertices, m edges and maximum vertex degree ∆, the load distribution of a coloring φ : V → {red, blue} is a pair dφ = (rφ, bφ), where rφ is the number of edges with at least one end-vertex colored red and bφ is the number of edges with at least one end-vertex colored blue. Our aim is to find a coloring φ such that the (maximum) load, lφ := 1 m · max{rφ, bφ}, is mi...

A new technique permits removal of the resting force from the muscle during the course of shortening and study of the maximum velocity of shortening with almost zero load at physiological initial muscle lengths. This unloading has been performed as a sudden unloading to zero total load (zero load clamping), or according to the resting length-tension relations, or according to an arbitrary unloa...

Suppose now that instead of placing each ball in a single random bin, we choose d random bins for each ball, place it in the one that currently has fewest balls, and proceed in this manner sequentially for each ball. Clearly if d = n the maximum load will be optimal: dm/ne. But this requires global knowledge of the state of all bins. Today we will show that with d = 2 choices, the maximum load ...

The maximum traffic load that can be supported by a wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) optical burst switched (OBS) network with dynamic wavelength allocation is studied. It is shown that it depends on the requirements of the class of service and on the efficiency of the dynamic routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) algorithm employed. Two methods to build the bursts are presented as well ...

This paper presents a complete closed-form timedomain analysis of the blocking probability of time-driven switching (TDS) for the single node case. In this work blocking is defined as the occurrence in which transmission resources are available in both inlet and outlet, but there is no schedule. The main constraints for finding a schedule are: (i) the load and (ii) the maximum scheduling delay ...

Considering the majority of the power losses occur in distribution systems, it is worthwhile to investigate the use of reactive power compensation (RPC) from wind turbines installed in the distribution system for loss reduction. Therefore, this paper analyses the effectiveness of the RPC for loss reduction under different system conditions. These include power factor of the system load, X/R rat...

The balancing of the manipulators is an important subject in the different industries, because with the balancing of manipulators, their consumed energy is reduced and it leads to actuators' size reduction. But the relation between of balancing and energy consumption was unclear until the optimal balancing method became introduced. On the other hand, Different tasks for instance, welding and gl...

The limited usefulness of the maximum power transfer theorem in practice is argued. Inappropriately, the utility and value of the maximum power transfer theorem are often elevated to be religious icons of electrical engineering. While the theorem appears to be useful, often in real circuits the load impedance is not set equal to the complex conjugate of the equivalent impedance of the connectin...
