The explosive growth of data generated by information digitization has been identified as the key driver to escalate storage requirements. It is becoming a big challenge to design a resilient and scalable interconnection network which consolidates hundreds even thousands of storage nodes to satisfy both the bandwidth and storage capacity requirements. This paper proposes a Resilient Interconnec...

The congruence coefficient was first introduced by Burt (1948) under the name of unadjusted correlation as a measure of the similarity of two factorial configurations. The name congruence coefficient was later tailored by Tucker (1951, see also Harman, 1976). The congruence coefficient is also sometimes called a monotonicity coefficient (Borg & Groenen, 1997, p. 203). The congruence coefficient...

Min Storage is an NP–hard optimization problem that arises in a natural way when one considers computations in which the amount of energy provided with the input values is preserved during the computation. In this paper we propose a polynomial time membrane algorithm that computes approximate solutions to the instances of Min Storage, and we study its behavior on (almost) uniformly randomly cho...

We present switching methods that make thermoelectric refrigerators efficient and optimal for all cold storage applications. These temporal methods double the coefficient of performance (COPs) of the refrigerators during cooling transients and allow highly energy-efficient operation in the steady state by turning off the thermoelectric devices both electrically and thermally so as to avoid back...

We have used the Potsdam-Allahabad Hindi Eye-tracking Corpus that contains eyemovement data from 30 participants on 153 sentences to investigate the effect of surprisal and retrieval on reading time, while controlling for word-level predictors (word complexity, syllable length, unigram and bigram frequency) and integration and storage costs. We find that surprisal has a significant coefficient ...

In this work, we present a new photochromic tungstate based glass which have both absorption coefficient and refractive index modified under laser exposure. The photosensitive effect is superficial under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation but occurs in the entire volume of the glass under visible irradiation. The effect can be obtained in any specific point inside the volume using an infrared femtose...

We derive the finite-size dependence of the clustering coefficient of scale-free random graphs generated by the configuration model with degree distribution exponent 2 < γ < 3. Degree heterogeneity increases the presence of triangles in the network up to levels that compare to those found in many real networks even for extremely large nets. We also find that for values of γ ≈ 2, clustering is v...

background and purpose: in a recent century, the amount of construction waste has increased significantly. although the building industry has a considerable role in the development of a society, it is regarded as an environmentally destructive. source reduction is the highest goal in the waste management hierarchy and is in priority. it also has economic benefits by reducing costs associated wi...
