This paper describes a technique called producer-push that enhances the performance of a page-based software distributed shared memory system. Shared data, in software DSM systems, must normally be requested from the node that produced the latest value. Producer-push utilizes the execution history to predict this communication so that the data is pushed to the consumer before it is requested. I...

New technologies enable educators to modify their teaching methods and extend their reach beyond the classroom. One of these methods that can be applied to communicate with students is through the use of push notifications on smartphones. Instead of relying on students to use a spaced learning approach, which is proven to be more efficient than trying to study something in a short period of tim...

With increasing technology advancement, online shopping, and growth of affordable segment, smartphone users’ switching behavior is becoming a concern for companies. To fill the research gap that persists in relation to users from multidimensional view, this study integrates push-pull-mooring model investigate classify factors affect users. test hypotheses different predictors, data were collect...

Composite hydraulic cylinders are used to reduce the weight of construction equipment such as aerial work platforms or excavators. The is compensated by manufacturing from Carbon Fiber Reinsforced Plastic (CFRP), but this expensive. Therefore, study investigated a hybrid cylinder, which combination CFRP and steel, considering both performance cost. conventional cylinder rods made can prevent fa...

Server Push, one of the most promising features of HTTP/2, allows web servers to speculatively send unsolicited web resources to clients. While the mechanism for Push is well defined, policies for effectively utilizing push to maximize page load performance are poorly understood. In this work we investigate the factors that should be considered when implementing a Push policy and combine them t...

Consumers are the only ones who can affect all decision points that drive health care cost and quality. As a result, consumers' health and financial security depend on their taking more responsibility for their health care decisions and having the tools and information needed to do so successfully. This article explains the five key decision points that drive health care cost and quality, how t...

With evolutions of wireless technologies and advances in mobile services, ubiquitous devices have huge acquired and storing data which requires metadata for user to handle easily. For this purpose, this paper introduces Smart PIN a novel performance and cost-oriented, context-aware personal information network. Smart PIN architecture includes network components, service components and managemen...

The deployment of video services to the home will continue to push the development of low cost Digital Set Top Units (STUs) for decoding MPEG video. One technique for reducing cost is to minimize the bu er space in the network interface. This means that the STU will only accept small packets. Video pump design for this situation is complex when the video pump is based on a general purpose works...

In mobile wireless systems data on air can be accessed by a large number of mobile users. Many of these applications including wireless internets and traffic information systems are pull-based, that is, they respond to on-demand user requests. In this paper, we study the scheduling problems of on-demand broadcast environments. Traditionally, the response time of the requests has been used as a ...

To study the effect of seat height on the cardiorespiratory system and kinematics in handrim wheelchair ambulation, nine non-wheelchair users participated in a wheelchair exercise experiment on a motor-driven treadmill. The subjects conducted five progressive exercise tests. After an initial try-out test, four tests were performed at different standardized seat heights of 100, 120, 140, and 160...
