Distributed-memory parallel computers and networks of workstations (NOWs) both rely on efficient communication over increasingly high-speed networks. Software communication protocols are often the performance bottleneck. Several current and proposed parall ...
In this paper, we address the design of any number of balanced descriptions using multiple description scalar quantization (MDSQ), based on fast index assignment. The proposed scheme has the advantages of low complexity, and the possibility of being extend ...
The question is addressed of whether the triruthenium cluster cation Ru-3(mu(2)-H)(3)(eta(6)C(6)H(6))(eta(6)-C6Me6)(2)(mu(3)-O), 1, is a supramolecular, outer-sphere benzene hydrogenation catalyst or is 1 a precatalyst to well-known Ru(0)(n) catalysis ...
L’utilisation de capteurs thermiques en façade reste très limitée, malgré le fait que les produits actuels soient performants et économiquement rentables dans la plupart des cas. L’une des raisons majeures de cette situation tient à la difficulté d’intégre ...
Since many biological processes occur on the μs to ms time scale, internal dynamics on that time scale may well be related to biological functionality. The characterization of internal dynamics is thus an important issue to improve our understanding of the ...
Under the real options approach to investment under uncertainty, agents formulate optimal policies under the assumption that firms’ growth prospects do not vary over time. This paper proposes and solves a model of investment decisions in which the growth r ...
This paper investigates whether monetary and exchange rate policies are important for the success of major fiscal adjustments. We assess their role controlling for other determinants of success identified in the literature, including the size and compositi ...
Good things come in small packages: For its moderate molecular weight, the metallostar complex [Fe{Gd2L(H2O)4}3]4− (see picture; L is a bipyridine–poly(aminocarboxylate) derivative) displays exceptionally high proton relaxivity, which is explained in terms ...
To analyze the effects of decellularization on the biomechanical properties of porcine common carotid arteries, decellularization was performed by a detergent-enzymatic procedure that preserves extracellular matrix scaffold. Internal diameter, external dia ...
We present a unified framework for understanding the compaction of colloidal gels under their own weight. The dynamics of the collapse are determined by the value of the gravitational stress σg, as compared to the yield stress σY of the network. For σg
