Emerging design problems are prompting the use of instruction-level parallelism techniques during the high-level synthesis (HLS) of ASICs or ASIPs in order to meet tight time-constraints. Techniques like code motion and speculative execution can grant time-constraint satisfiability because they can shorten schedule lengths. The mechanism for inducing code motion and speculative execution relies...

this paper presents the steady state behavior and maintenance planning of the bleaching system in a paper plant. the paper plant comprises of various systems including feeding, chipping, digesting, washing, bleaching, screening, stock preparation and paper making, etc. one of the most important functionaries of a paper plant, on which quality of paper depends, is the bleaching system, where rem...

The emerging communication applications such as IPTV, VoIP, infotainment, interactive games, and Internet access might dictate very high reliability and availability in future fiber access networks. We present an easy-to-use software tool, called NetExpert, designed to simplify the network planning, design and optimization processes and save valuable time preparing network configurations that p...

It is important to be able to characterise foods and feedstuffs according to their available amino acid contents. This involves being able to determine amino acids chemically and the conduct of bioassays to determine amino acid digestibility and availability. The chemical analysis of amino acids is not straightforward and meticulousness is required to achieve consistent results. In particular a...

ÐPoint availability and expected interval availability are dependability measures respectively defined by the probability that a system is in operation at a given instant and by the mean percentage of time during which a system is in operation over a finite observation period. We consider a repairable computer system and we assume, as usual, that the system is modeled by a finite Markov process...

The Blade server enterprise has remained the firmest developing sector of the global server enterprise aimed at numerous ages and the tendency is likely to remain conferring to commerce investigators. IDC described in late August, 2007 that server blade enterprise advancement persistently accelerated by 36.7% growth yearly with clients increasing their blade distributions and retailers intensif...

This paper studies the availability equivalence of different designs of a repairable series-parallel system. Under the assumption that the system components have constant failure rates and repair rates, we derive the availability of the original and improved systems according to reduction, increase, hot duplication, warm duplication and cold duplication methods, respectively. The availability e...

BACKGROUND Empiric studies find that contextual factors affect individual weight status over and above individual socioeconomic characteristics. Given increasing levels of obesity, researchers are examining how the food environment contributes to unhealthy weight status. An important change to this environment is the increasing availability of away-from-home eating establishments such as restau...

The Loran Integrity Performance Panel (LORIPP) is to complete its 18-month study of whether an enhanced Loran system, which includes modernized equipment, new receiving equipment, and updated operating procedures, could meet aviation requirements for Required Navigation Performance 0.3 (RNP 0.3) in March 2004. There are four primary areas that must be examined in order to demonstrate RNP 0.3 – ...
