The deflection of a piezoelectric tube, with the outer (or inner) metal coating sectioned into four quadrants, is analyzed. We show that by applying a voltage V on one of the quadrants, the electromechanical deflection is ( Jzd,, VL2/?rDh), where d,, is the piezoel&tric coefficient, L is the length, D the diameter, and h the wall thickness of the tube. The deflections calculated with it agree w...

Brief review is provided of recent research on the impact of early visual language exposure on a variety of developmental outcomes, including literacy, cognition, and social adjustment. This body of work points to the great importance of giving young deaf children early exposure to a visual language as a critical precursor to the acquisition of literacy. Four analyses of data from the Visual La...

The present contribution reports on the analysis of the high resolution FTIR spectra of the only two IR-active parallel fundamentals v u and v12 of the isotopomers 1 2 C 3 1 4 N 3 H 3 , 1 3 C 3 1 4 N 3 H 3 , 1 2 C 3 1 5 N 3 H 3 , C 3 1 5 N 3 H 3 and 1 2 C 3 1 4 N 3 D 3 , respectively, of 1,3,5-triazine. The molecular constants of the ground state and the upper states u u = l and vl2 = \, respec...

We present a new method for determining the Galactic gravitational potential based on forward modeling of tidal stellar streams. We use this method to test the performance of smooth and static analytic potentials in representing realistic dark matter halos, which have substructure and are continually evolving by accretion. Our FAST-FORWARD method uses a Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm to com...

Recently researchers at Hewlett-Packard have announced the discovery of a new material having resistance switching characteristics and which has been characterized as a fourth fundamental circuit component called the “memristor”[1]. It is proposed to combine such memristors with operational amplifier circuitry and fixed resistor elements so as to form a programmable signal processor capable of ...

Technology providers heavily exploit the usage of edge‐cloud data centers (ECDCs) to meet user demand while ECDCs are large energy consumers. Concerning decrease expenditure ECDCs, task placement is one most prominent solutions for effective allocation and consolidation such tasks onto physical machine (PM). Such must also consider additional optimizations beyond power include other objectives,...

As the increase in satellite number and variety, ground stations should be required to offer user services a flexible efficient manner. Network function virtualization (NFV) can provide new paradigm allocate network resources on-demand for over underlying network. However, most of existing work focuses on virtual (VNF) placement routing traffic problem enterprise data center networks, issue nee...

Edge-Cloud Datacenters (ECDCs) have been massively exploited by the owners of technology and industrial centers to satisfy user demand. At same time, amount energy used these data is considerable. To address this challenge, Virtual Machine (VM) placement ECDCs plays an important role; therefore, assigning VM properly physical machines (PM) can significantly decrease consumption. The applied tec...

In recent years, data center network (DCN) architectures (e.g., DCell [11], FiConn [14], BCube [10], FatTree [1], and VL2 [8]) received a surge of interest from both the industry and academia. However, evaluation of these newly proposed DCN architectures is limited to MapReduce or scientific computing type of traffic patterns, and none of them provides an in-depth understanding of their perform...
