Stream compaction is an important parallel computing primitive that produces a reduced (compacted) output stream consisting of only valid elements from an input stream containing both invalid and valid elements. Computing on this compacted stream rather than the mixed input stream leads to improvements in performance, load balancing, and memory footprint. Stream compaction has numerous applicat...

in this paper the effect of using various models for conductivity and viscosity considering brownian motion of nanoparticles is investigated. this study is numerically conducted inside a cavity full of water-al2o3 nanofluid at the case of mixed convection heat transfer. the effect of some parameters such as the nanoparticle volume fraction, rayleigh, richardson and reynolds numbers has been exa...

This work demonstrates how the addition of few-layer graphene (FLG) influences processability and mechanical properties mixed polyolefin waste stream (R-(PE/PP)). Three different types compounds were investigated: (1) R-(PE/PP) with FLG; (2) blends prime polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP) PP copolymer; (3) both polymer FLG. The was assessed by measuring torque during melt extrusion, flow i...

In this paper, we simulate steady inviscid flows over a cylinder using potential and stream functions, including entropy and vorticity corrections for incompressible, subsonic, transonic and supersonic flows. The present hierarchical formulation is equivalent to Euler equations satisfying conservation of mass, momentum and energy. Standard numerical schemes and iterative algorithms are used for...

This paper presents a simple methodology for cost estimation of a near optimal heat exchanger network, which comprises mixed materials of construction. Intraditional pinch technology and mathematical programming it is usually assumed that all heat exchangers in a network obey a single cost model. This implies that all heat exchangers  in a network are of the same type and use the same mate...

Streaming data classification requires that a model be available for classifying stream content while simultaneously detecting and reacting to changes to the underlying process generating the data. Given that only a fraction of the stream is ‘visible’ at any point in time (i.e. some form of window interface) then it is difficult to place any guarantee on a classifier encountering a ‘well mixed’...

A dimension crucial for the perceptual segregation of simultaneous speech sounds is the one of syllabic and subsyllabic envelope fluctuations, indicating that, in the “cocktail-party effect,” prosody plays a definite role. This role was investigated in a psychoacoustic study using a much reduced stimulus configuration to examine the way the rhythmic pattern of a target stream can be segregated ...

We present a method by which to determine a synchronzation point within a DEFLATEcompressed bit stream (as used in Zip and gzip archives) for which the beginning is unknown or damaged. Decompressing from the synchronization point forward yields a mixed stream of literal bytes and co-indexed unknown bytes. Language modeling in the form of byte trigrams and word unigrams is then applied to the re...
