Repetitive, brief target ramp movements every few seconds lead to anticipatory acceleration before each ramp onset and anticipatory deceleration before ramp offset. We assessed whether identifying novel changes in the pursuit target would alter this pattern of anticipatory pursuit. Without target identification (TI), anticipatory acceleration increased when intervals between ramps were regular,...

this paper proposes a novel technique for solving generation scheduling and ramp rate constrained unit commitment. a modified objective function associated with a new start-up cost term is introduced in this paper. the proposed method is used to solve generating scheduling problem satisfying srr, minimum up and down time as well as ramp rate constraints. two case studies are conducted to implem...

Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) control of hypersonic laminar separation flows is investigated in this paper. A series numerical simulations over various geometry configurations, namely, a compression corner and double wedge ramp inlet, have been conducted by application an external electromagnetic field. Results show that the performance MHD flow mainly determined acceleration Lorentz force directed...

By making spectral absorption-line observations of disk galaxies at intermediate inclinations, we have been able to determine the amplitude of their constituent stars’ random motions in three dimensions. This full measure of the shape of the velocity ellipsoid is a useful diagnostic for determining the “heating” mechanism responsible for creating the random motions. The analysis implies that th...

This paper describes the architecture of RAMP-White, an FPGA-based coherent shared memory machine. RAMP-White aims to provide a configurable coherent shared memory research platform while also demonstrating how large systems can be assembled using RAMP building blocks. The platform is sufficiently flexible to handle different coherency protocols, memory hierarchies and even processor ISAs and i...
