The magnetoelastic (ME) biosensors are used to detect pathogen in fresh juice or milk by solenoid coil, and also developed for real-time, direct pathogen detection on food surfaces by surface-scanning coil. This paper presents blocking effect of different reagents on non-specific binding for detecting Salmonella typhimurium in apple juice using phage-based magnetoelastic biosensors. Three diffe...

This article deals with the performance of Bluetooth scatternets in a real-life environment where different queues are implemented with finite buffers. Finite buffer size will introduce packet blocking at different queues along the packet path, which in turn causes changes in effective traffic load as well as retransmissions and ultimately affects end-to-end packet delays. The authors assume th...

We obtain equivalencies between closed queueing networks with blocking with respect to buffer capacities and the number of customers in the network. These results can be used in approximations, in the buffer allocation problem as well as to explain the behavior of closed queueing networks with finite buffers. We also present exact efficient solutions for special cases.

In this paper, we examine different methods using techniques of blocking, buffering, and padding for efficient implementations of bit-reversals. We evaluate the merits and limits of each technique and its application and architecture-dependent conditions for developing cache-optimal methods. Besides testing the methods on different uniprocessors, we conducted both simulation and measurements on...

This paper presents a preliminary investigation into the impact of TCP’s advertised receive buffer size and timer granularity on TCP performance over erroneous links in a LEO satellite environment. Conducted simulations include over 200 different combinations of TCP flavor, advertised receive buffer size, timer granularity, and bit error rate. Results show that TCP can only approximate the vari...

To illustrate separate verification of a library and its client, we adapt another classic example due to Owicki and Gries. The library is a one-place buffer with blocking put and get operations. The client is a pair of producer and consumer each with a private array of data that they concurrently communicate through the buffer. The producer iterates over its array, putting the elements into the...

Abstract Nonspecific binding of monocytes to certain cyanine-like dye conjugated antibodies that are commonly used in flow cytometry for cell surface staining is well known. Although lesser extent than monocytes, other leukocyte subsets can also exhibit nonspecific conjugates. This poses a challenge multicolor cytometric analysis utilizing these conjugates as dye-mediated mask the real expressi...

In this paper, we propose an N × N high speed and non-blocking asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) switch with input and output buffers. In this switch, each buffer adopts a priority discarding scheme, which discards incoming cells of low-priority traffic when its queue length is greater than a predefined threshold value. Our switch also supports broadcast/multicast functions without increasing th...

To date, data locality optimizing algorithms mostly aim at providing e cient strategies for blocking and reordering loops. But little research has been devoted to the nal step, i.e., computing the optimal block size. Optimal block sizes are currently computed as if a cache behaves as a local memory, i.e., cache interference phenomena are ignored. Case-studies have already shown that cache inter...
