Data prefetching is an effective way to hide memory latency. Current microprocessors allow multiple prefetch requests to overlap and provide a queue structure to track the outstanding requests. A prefetch request can either wait or be dropped when there is no available room in the queue. Recognizing the effectiveness and accuracy of the prefetches generated by the compiler, recent architectures...

This paper discusses two adaptive feedback control approaches designed to reattach a massively separated flow over a NACA airfoil with minimal control effort using piezoelectric synthetic jet actuators and various sensors for feedback. One approach uses an adaptive feedback disturbance rejection algorithm in conjunction with a system identification algorithm to develop a reduced-order dynamical...

Details of pressure distributions, on a two dimensional airfoil oscillating in pitch through stall, in a 0.8 0.8 m low-speed wind tunnel are presented. Pitching occurred about the airfoils quarter-chord axis. Pitch rate, Reynolds number, and oscillation amplitudes were varied to determine the effects on pressure and lift distributions. It was found that mean angle of attack and pitching amplitu...

We measure YouTube content delivery over IPv6 using ⇠100 SamKnows probes connected to dual-stacked networks representing 66 different origin ASes. Using a 34-months long (Aug 2014-Jun 2017) dataset, we show that success rates of streaming a stall-free version of a video over IPv6 have improved over time. We show that a Happy Eyeballs (HE) race during initial TCP connection establishment leads t...

Humeral fractures were treated in 5 calves using unilateral external fixation with epoxy putty fixator (type I). The surgeries were performed under sedation and analgesia, and it involved application of ultrasound-guided brachial plexus block. The surgical procedures were completed in 60 to 90 min, and each calf was returned to the farm on the same day. The fixation allowed each calf to remain ...

The effects of ATP hydrolysis on actin polymerization-based force generation are calculated using a multistate two-state Brownian-ratchet model based on measured polymerization curves. For ensembles of filaments pushing against a rigid obstacle, the stall force per filament can be much less than the equilibrium ATP-actin stall force. PACS numbers: 87.15.Rn,87.17.Jj,87.16.Ac,87.15.Cc

An extensive experimental investigation to study the flow structure over the wing of a fighter type configuration model has been conducted. The model used for this study was similar to the High Alpha Research Vehicle (HARV) that has been used in various European research centers for studying its force and moment characteristics. Tests were conducted at two subsonic speeds and at low to moderate...

Tests of a two-dimensional straight wing with a 10 per cent thick RAE 101 section have been made in a low-speed wind tunnel to check the validity of a criterion suggested by Owen and Klanfer for the type of bubble which will be formed when a laminar boundary layer separates from the surface of an aerofoil. The results confirm this hypothesis and show that if the boundary-layer Reynolds number b...

surge and rotating stall phenomena are two dynamic instabilities that occur in both axial and centrifugal compressors. surge is the stream instability phenomenon in compressor that imposes severe damages to the compressors. nowadays, suppressing surge phenomenon is one of the most important issues in oil and gas industries, especially when flow reduction or gas reflux is considered. this resear...
