This paper describes the design and performance of a distributed, multi-tier architecture for scientific information management and data exploration. A novel aspect of this framework is its integration of Java IDL, the CORBA distributed object computing middleware with JavaBeans, the Java Component model to provide a flexible, interactive framework for...
Synchronization is one of the important issues in digital system design. While
other approaches have been intriguing, up until now a globally clocked timing
discipline has been the dominant design philosophy. However, we have reached the
point, with advances in technology, where other options should be given serious
consideration. VLSI...
A Hybrid Meshnet LAN, a new local area network architecture, has been proposed by Dr. Cheoul-Shin Kang and Dr. James Herzog. It provides for distributed control hybrid architecture which is good for effective load sharing under various local area network environments. Hybrid Meshnet has a dual channel structure, a token...
The intensity and scale of wildfires has increased throughout the Pacific Northwest in recent decades, especially within the last decade, destroying vast amounts of valuable resources and assets. This trend is predicted to remain or even magnify due climate change, growing population, increased housing density. Furthermore, the associated stress of...
Within the past several years the technology of high-throughput sequencing has transformed the study of biology by offering unprecedented access to life's fundamental building block, DNA. With this transformation's potential a host of brand-new challenges have emerged, many of which lend themselves to being solved through computational methods. From de...
Pine needle blight of Pinus ponderosa Laws. caused by
Elytroderma deformans (Weir) Darker is recognized by changes in
the needles, in the bark and in the development of the branches.
Anatomical studies of the host-parasite relation have been made previously
on young pine tissue up to four years of age...
A series of complex digital blocks have been designed and fabricated using the newly
developed current-mode differential CMOS logic family viz. the Folded Source-Coupled
Logic ( FSCL ). The main feature of this logic family is the low current spikes generated
during the switching transitions ( at least 2 orders...
In a constant weight code, each code word contains a constant number of 1's. If this number is equal to half the length of the code word then the code is called balanced. These codes find many applications in computer and communication systems noise reduction in VLSI systems, fault masking...
The recent advances in VLSI technology have facilitated feature shrinking
and hence a rapid increase in the levels of integration at the chip level. This increase
in the level of integration has brought along with it a host of other constraints, the
most crucial being timing management and increased power...
Sisson's formally exact series solution for momentum, heat and
mass transfer in steady two-dimensional or axi-symmetrical constant-property,
laminar boundary layer flow was examined. A new series
was proposed for the boundary condition accounting for the mass
transfer at the surface of the body on which the boundary layer is
formed....
