In a large scale of mass data management, tape library system has recently aroused lots of attention in terms of improvement of response time with the broad application of its backup usage. In this work, we address the optimal placement scheme of data object in parallel tape drives. By observing a pattern of request containing the repeated group of data objects, we propose a simple relationship...

Dissociable processes for conscious perception (“what” processing) and guidance of action (“how” processing) have been identified in visual, auditory, and somatosensory systems. The present study was designed to find similar dissociation within whole-body movements in which the presence of vestibular information creates a unique perceptual condition. In two experiments, blindfolded participants...

There is a requirement in the current space industry (due to recent technological advances) for small satellite, area deployment devices. Such devices are used to deploy antennae and solar arrays, and demand the usual requirements of low mass, low cost and high reliability that are needed for space missions. Due to the mass reduction of small satellite missions, new systems are required to achi...

BACKGROUND The Broselow™ Pediatric Emergency Tape indicates standardized, pre-calculated medication doses, dose delivery volumes, and equipment sizes using color-coded zones based on height-weight correlations. The present study attempted to provide more evidence on the effectiveness of the Broselow™ Pediatric Emergency Tape by comparing the tape-estimated weights with actual weights. We hypoth...

It is important for a learning program to have a reliable method of deciding whether to treat errors as noise or to include them as exceptions within a growing rst-order theory. We explore the use of an information-theoretic measure to decide this problem within the non-monotonic learning framework deened by Closed-World-Specialisation. The approach adopted uses a model that consists of a refer...

Introduction As track density in tape recording systems increases, the need for high performance control becomes crucial due to significant high frequency disturbances such as lateral tape motion, inner track variability, servo track variability, noise and input saturation of the servo actuator. An essential step in designing high performance model based controllers is the identification of low...

CONTEXT Joint position sense (JPS) is a key neuromuscular factor for developing and maintaining control of muscles around a joint. It is important when performing specialized tasks, especially at the shoulder. No researchers have studied how Kinesio Tape (KT) application affects JPS. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of KT application and no tape on shoulder JPS at increasing shoulder elev...
