Compiler-directed dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) is an effective low-power technique in real-time applications, where compiler inserts voltage scaling points in a real-time application, and supply voltage and clock frequency are adjusted to the relationship between the remaining time and the remaining workload at each voltage scaling point. Greedy dynamic voltage scaling is one of the voltage ad...

This review (with 35 references) summarizes the various strategies used in biosensors for galactose, and their analytical performance. A brief comparison of the enzyme immobilization methods employed and the analytical performance characteristics of a range of galactose biosensors are first summarized in tabular form and then described in detail. Selected examples have been included to demonstr...

Nonlinear dynamical systems have been a fertile field for the application of simulation techniques. Since the 1960's, System Dynamics has studied such problems by integrating systems of ordinary differential equations (ODE's) over time. More recently, increases in computer power have permitted the broad application of agent-based (or individual-based) modeling. In our work on supply chain model...

An analytical study along with a numerical investigation is conducted to determine the lateral buckling strength of thin-walled open-section I shape composite beams. Based on Vlasov-type linear hypothesis beam stiffness coefficients, which account for a cross section geometry and material anisotropy of the section, are obtained. In this study the axial and bending coupling terms ( A,, , A,, , D...

We study the traffic characteristics on a single-lane highway with a slowdown section using the deterministic cellular automaton (CA) model. Based on the theoretical analysis, the relationships among local mean densities, velocities, traffic fluxes, and global densities are derived. The results show that two critical densities exist in the evolutionary process of traffic state, and they are sig...

Pressure driven steady flow through a uniform circular channel containing a constricted portion is a common problem considering physiological flows such as underlying human speech sound production. The influence of the constriction’s cross-section shape (circle, ellipse, circular sector) on the flow within and downstream from the constriction is experimentally quantified. An analytical boundary...
