Interior gateway routing protocols like OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) and DEFT (Distributed Exponentially-Weighted Flow Splitting) send flow through forward links towards the destination node. OSPF routes only on shortest-weight paths, whereas DEFT sends flow on all forward links, but with an exponential penalty on longer paths. Finding suitable weights for these protocols is known as the wei...

Pre-sedimentation basins are among the most important elements of the conventional water treatment process. In pre-sedimentation basins, due to different velocity gradients, secondary and rotational flows are formed that will create short paths and increase dead and still flow zones as well as changes in the flow mixing. This will prevent laminar flow conditions for sedimentation and will reduc...

Program paths—sequences of executed basic blocks—have proven to be an effective way to capture a program's elusive dynamic behavior. This paper shows how paths and path spectra compactly and precisely record many aspects of programs' execution-time control flow behavior and explores applications of these paths in computer architecture, compilers, debugging, program testing, and software mainten...

Path-based Statistical Software Testing is interested in sampling the feasible paths in the control flow graph of the program being tested. As the ratio of feasible paths becomes negligible for large programs, an ML approach is presented to iteratively estimate and exploit the distribution of feasible paths.

We propose an adaptive flow-level multipath routing-based traffic engineering solution for an IP backbone network carrying TCP/IP traffic. Incoming TCP flows are switched between two explicitly routed paths, namely the primary and secondary paths, for resilience and potential goodput improvement at the TCP layer. In the proposed architecture, primary paths receive a preferential treatment over ...

To identify laminar/turbulent transition paths in plane Couette flow, a variational formulation incorporating restricted nonlinear (RNL) system that retains single streamwise Fourier mode, is used. Considering the flow geometry originally used by Monokrousos et al. (2011) and Duguet (2013) same Reynolds numbers (Re), we show initial perturbations obtained RNL optimizations exhibit spatial local...

Previous studies suggested that the reconstruction or maintenance of physiological blood flow paths in the heart is important to obtain a good outcome following cardiac surgery, but this concept has no established theoretical foundation. We developed a multiscale, multiphysics heart simulator, based on the finite element method, and compared the hemodynamics of ventricles with physiological and...
