Available throughput performance studies for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) suffer from two major limitations: they mainly focus on the scaling law study of throughput, while the exact throughput of such networks remains largely unknown; they usually consider the infinite buffer scenarios, which are not applicable to the practical networks with limited buffer. As a step to address these limita...

The pH and buffer capacity of dry wood flakes from eleven southern species and their effects on gel time of phenol formaldehyde (PF) oriented strandboard resin with and without zinc borate addition were investigated in this study. It was shown that the pH of the hardwood flakes was acidic, with white oak being the most acidic (pH = 4.60) and elm nearly neutral (pH = 6.93). Southern pine flakes ...

PCM can be used to overcome the capacity limit and energy issues of conventional DRAM-based main memory. This paper explores how the database buffer manager can deal with the write endurance problem, which is unique to PCM-based buffer pools and not considered by conventional buffer algorithms. We introduce a range of novel buffer algorithms addressing this problem, called wear-aware buffer alg...
