Predicting spacial similarity of freshwater fish biodiversity

Andrea Rinaldo, Mihaela Marian

A major issue in modern ecology is to understand how ecological complexity at broad scales is regulated by mechanisms operating at the organismic level. What specific underlying processes are essential for a macroecological pattern to emerge? Here, we anal ...

Enhanced hole injection in a hybrid organic-inorganic light-emitting diode

Michael Graetzel

The operating mechanism, particularly the carrier injection mechanism, of a hybrid organic-inorganic light-emitting diode (HOILED) is reported. Asymmetric hole injection has been observed in a symmetric hole-only device, which has two identical interfaces ...

Concurrent Direct Network Access for Virtual Machine Monitors

Willy Zwaenepoel, Aravind Menon

This paper presents hardware and software mechanisms to enable concurrent direct network access (CDNA) by operating systems running within a virtual machine monitor. In a conventional virtual machine monitor, each operating system running within a virtual ...

TAC-1 and ZYG-9 form a complex that promotes microtubule assembly in C. elegans embryos

Pierre Gönczy

BACKGROUND: Modulation of microtubule dynamics is crucial for proper cell division. While a large body of work has made important contributions to our understanding of the mechanisms governing microtubule dynamics in vitro, much remains to be learned about ...

Hedging point for non-Markovian piecewise deterministic production processes

Max-Olivier Hongler

We consider a single non-Markovian failure prone machine which delivers a single product. The operating policy of the machine is chosen to be of the hedging point type. In the infinite horizon limit, we calculate the position of the hedging point that mini ...

LCM: Memory System Support for Parallel Language Implementation

James Richard Larus

Higher-level parallel programming languages can be difficult to implement efficiently on parallel machines. This paper shows how a flexible, compiler-controlled memory system can help achieve good performance for language constructs that previously appeare ...
