In this report, we consider the problem of scheduling an application composed of independent tasks on a fully heterogeneous master-worker platform with communication costs. We introduce a bi-criteria approach aiming at maximizing the throughput of the application while minimizing the energy consumed by participating resources. Assuming arbitrary super-linear power consumption laws, we investiga...

Abstract: This paper proposes a new control strategy for bidirectional DC-DC converter. This strategy aims at controlling a bidirectional DC-DC converter to behave like a virtual conductor. As a matter of fact, the voltage difference between the terminals of any conductor is zero volts. Conversely, the main target of this proposed control strategy is to keep the voltage difference between the c...

the aim of this article is to extend the study of the lorentz transformation of order (m,n) from m=1 and n>=1 to all m,n>=1, obtaining algebraic structures called a bi-gyrogroup and a bi-gyrovector space. a bi-gyrogroup is a gyrogroup each gyration of which is a pair of a left gyration and a right gyration. a bi-gyrovector space is constructed from a bi-gyrocommutative bi-gyrogroup that admits ...

Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) technology is being used for various high frequency applications such as T/R modules for radar, bluetooth communication modules, LAN switches, and automotive radar. One of the key properties of the electronic packages for these applications is microwave loss. LTCC metallizations are typical thick film conductors. Conventional thick film technology has rel...

This paper proposes a method to simplify a computational model from logistic regression for clinical use without computer. The model was built using human interpreted featrues including some BI-RADS standardized features for diagnosing the malignant masses. It was compared with the diagnosis using only assessment categorization from BI-RADS. The research aims at assisting radiologists to diagno...

A well-conditioned volume-surface integral equation, called the volume equation-combined field is applied to analyse electromagnetic (EM) scattering from arbitrarily shaped three-dimensional composite objects comprising both inhomogeneous bi-anisotropic material and closed perfect electric conductors (PECs). The equivalent surface currents are respectively expanded using commonly used RWG SWG b...

Audible noise generated from water drops collected on the transmission line conductor surface during foul weather is a major concern in UHV (ultrahigh voltage) transmission line design. Although the noise can be kept to an acceptable level by maintaining a surface electric gradient below 15 to 17 kV/cm, this alternative is quite costly since it would mean having larger conductor bundles and hen...

Proposition 4.1 (1) of this article is not correct as stated. For instance, if ε is the quadratic Dirichlet character of conductor 15, then there are two newforms in Sk(Γ1(15), ε) with coefficients in Q, and these are twists of each other by the quadratic character of conductor 3, whereas the quantity u in the proposition is 0 here. I am grateful to Steve Donnelly for pointing out this example....

We propose a general workflow to numerically estimate the spread of electrical excitation in the patients' hearts. To this end, a semi-automatic segmentation pipeline for extracting the volume conductor model of structurally normal hearts is presented. The cardiac electrical source imaging technique aims to provide information about the spread of electrical excitation in order to assist the car...
