Wireless distributed microsensor systems will enable the reliable monitoring of a variety of environments for both civil and military applications. In this paper, we look at communication protocols, which can have significant impact on the overall energy dissipation of these networks. Based on our

interpolation procedure, followed by superposition of quality-improved gridded observations onto the reconstructions to restore local detail. The sea ice fields are made more homogeneous by compensating satellite microwave-based sea ice concentrations for the impact of surface melt effects on retrievals

-structured), then probabilities can be updated by local propagation in an isomorphic network of parallel and autonomous processors and that the impact of new information can be imparted to all propositions in time proportional to the longest path in the network. The second part of the paper deals with the problem of finding a

. Validation was performed using finiteelement simulation. The paper also introduces several effective methods for dynamic thermal management (DTM): “temperaturetracking” frequency scaling, localized toggling, and migrating computation to spare hardware units. Modeling temperature at the microarchitecture

Measuring the local impact of electronic gaming machines Date:

, despite the presence of dead-space effects, can be still be used with the existing local theory for efficiently quantifying multiplication and breakdown voltages. Index Terms—Avalanche diodes, avalanche photodiodes, hot carriers, impact ionization, Monte Carlo methods, power semi-conductor devices. I.

provided a clear framework to examine influences and knowledge one teacher used to support the teaching of career studies. The data showed that the teacher knew her local economy had been affected by the global economic downturn, and she described local business closures and the potential impact upon

Currently, there is strong interest in the effects of impact induced damage to composite structures as evidenced by the large number of articles on this topic that have appeared in the literature in recent years. With laminated composite structures, foreign object impacts, that are expected

We have designed and implemented a new operating system facility for I/O buffer management and data transfer across protection domain boundaries on shared memory machines. This facility, called fast buffers (fbufs), combines virtual page remapping with shared virtual memory, and exploits locality
