A key aspect of the parallel partitioners of AMR codes based on meshes consisting of regularly refined patches lies in the choice of a load balancing algorithm. One of the current load balancing methods of choice is to use a space-filling curve. The need to apply load balancing in parallel on possibly hundreds of thousands of processors has led to the development of an algorithm which generates...

Filling is a task carried out by a machine that packages liquid products such as cold drinks or water .Traditional methods of bottle filling involved placing bottles onto a conveyor and filling only one bottle at a time. This method is time consuming and expensive. Our paper aims at filling and capping bottles simultaneously. The filling and capping operation takes place in a synchronized manne...

Estimating and minimizing the maximum power dissipation during testing is an important task in VLSI circuit realization since the power value affects the reliability of the circuits. Therefore during testing a methodology should be adopted to minimize power consumption. Test patterns generated with –D 1 option of ATALANTA contains don’t care bits (x bits). By suitable filling of don’t cares can...

This study tested the hypothesis that a controlled water deficit during grain filling of wheat (Triticum aestivum) could accelerate grain-filling rate through regulating the key enzymes involved in Suc-to-starch pathway in the grains. Two high lodging-resistant wheat cultivars were field grown. Well-watered and water-deficit (WD) treatments were imposed from 9 DPA until maturity. The WD promote...

Abstract Eleven wheat cultivars were evaluated at 10-day intervals, beginning from anthesis, under irrigated and drought stress conditions during 2006-2007. The effects of irrigation, genotype and date of harvest were significant for most of the studied characters. Water deficit decreased pre-and post-anthesis assimilation rate, grain weight per spike, grain number per spike and 1000 grain wei...

The water-filling algorithm enables an energy-efficient OFDM-based transmitter by maximizing the capacity of a frequency selective fading channel. However, this optimal strategy requires the perfect channel state information at the transmitter that is not realistic in wireless applications. In this paper, we propose opportunistic error correction to maximize the data rate of OFDM systems withou...

One of most important problems in soil thermodynamics is related to soil water hysteresis , which arises mainly from differences in the processes of emptying and filling individual pores during wetting and drying. In a minesoil coming from excavations, amended with six different types of sewage sludge (composted or thermally dried), it was observed that the critical point (c, wc) that separate...

eight genotypes of spring safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.) were evaluated for several physiological traits under stress and non-stress water regimes. data were analyzed using principal factor analysis. the factor analysis technique extracted six factors under non-stress conditions. six factors explained about 80% of the total variation, and only 40% of the variance was accounted for by the f...

Subglacial lakes beneath Antarctica’s fast-moving ice streams are known to undergo 1 km volume changes on annual timescales. Focusing on the MacAyeal Ice Stream (MacIS) lake system, we create a simple model for the response of subglacial water distribution to lake discharge events through assimilation of lake volume changes estimated from Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) laser a...
