Abstract This study establishes that women slave-owners were specifically inscribed into South Carolina’s laws on slave management from the first decades of English colonization. Mistresses explicitly named alongside masters or incorporated gender-neutral rubric owner in a common understanding absolute ownership and authority over enslaved people was as much rooted female mastery male. Remarkab...

Clusters of computers can be used together to provide a powerful computing resource. This paper presents a con gurable system capable of modelling a variety of particle growth mechanisms. Large Monte Carlo simulations, such as those used to model particle growth, are computationally intensive and take a considerable time to execute on conventional workstations. The repetitive nature of Monte Ca...

There are two types of hookworm, Ancylostoma duodenale, known as the Old World hookworm, and Necator americanus, the New World hookworm. While both species may be found in Africa, Asia and the Americas, N. americanus is predominantly located in the Americas and Australia, while only A. duodenale is found in the Middle East, North Africa and southern Europe (a). The origin of the New World speci...

Several polling algorithms have been proposed to overcome the slot wastage problem due to the exchange of POLL or NULL packets in the case of no data to transmit. However, most of these algorithms suffer from achieving the fairness among all slaves. This paper proposes two scheduling algorithms, Uplink Downlink Limited Round Robin (LRR) with fixed cycle time and Uplink Downlink LRR with adaptiv...

This paper summarizes the development of the synchronization control technology of the multi-motor control system. And a model structure of multi-motor synchronization control system based on the monomaster PROFIBUS-DP network is proposed, which slaves are intelligent including PLC, convertor and motor. The communication mode of MS is adopted. The control tasks of the master and their slaves ar...
