Many future applications will require guarantees on network performance, such as bounds on throughput, delay, delay jitter, and reliability. To address this need, the Tenet Group at the University of California at Berkeley has designed, simulated, and implemented a suite of network protocols to support real-time channels (network connections with mathematically provable performance guarantees)....

Explanation pertaining to individuals’ cognitive development and learning approaches is a recurring theme in the areas of education and psychology. The work of Okagaki (e.g., Okagaki, 2001; Okagaki & Frensch, 1998), for example, has provided both theoretical and empirical insights into the structuring and situational positioning of individuals within a community (e.g., the school, the family). ...

In astrophysics, the two main methods traditionally in use for solving the Euler equations of ideal fluid dynamics are smoothed particle hydrodynamics and finite volume discretization on a stationary mesh. However, the goal to efficiently make use of future exascale machines with their ever higher degree of parallel concurrency motivates the search for more efficient and more accurate technique...

MOTIVATION Target characterization for a biochemical network is a heuristic evaluation process that produces a characterization model that may aid in predicting the suitability of each molecule for drug targeting. These approaches are typically used in drug research to identify novel potential targets using insights from known targets. Traditional approaches that characterize targets based on t...

The economic theory of federalism is largely built around the premise that more heterogeneous preferences result in more decentralized policy making. Despite its prominence and importance, this central tenet of economic federalism has never been empirically evaluated. This paper presents the first formal test of the link between preference heterogeneity and endogenous policy decentralization us...

Two algorithms that are distinct from the closed algorithm proposed to create inverse kinematics model of UR10 robot: Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP) and Back Propagation-Sequential (BP-SQP) algorithm. The SQP is an iterative in which fundamental tenet joint’s total rotation radian should be at a minimum when industrial robot reaches target attitude. With this tenet, establishes robot. S...
