We introduce the "First Fit Matching Periods" algorithm for static-priority multiprocessor scheduling of periodic tasks with implicit deadlines and show that it yields asymptotically optimal processor assignments if utilization values are chosen uniformly ...
Extracting the main melody from a polyphonic music recording seems natural even to untrained human listeners. To a certain extent it is related to the concept of source separation, with the human ability of focusing on a specific source in order to extract ...

The fluctuation-induced, Casimir-like interaction between two parallel rods of length L adsorbed on a fluid membrane is calculated analytically at short separations d < L. The rods are modeled as constraints imposed on the membrane curvature along a strai ...
Given a set P of n points in R-d and epsilon > 0, we consider the problem of constructing weak E-nets for P. We show the following: pick a random sample Q of size O(1/epsilon log(1/epsilon)) from P. Then, with constant probability, a weak epsilon-net of P ...
The reaction mechanism on the formation of the hydrosulfido complex [Re(SH)(CO)(3)(bipy)] via the reaction of [Re(OH)(CO)(3)(bipy)] with carbon disulfide was theoretically investigated at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d, p) (LANL2DZ+f for Re) level of theory taking int ...
Understanding friction has been the goal for many researchers, and although a lot is known about the factors contributing to friction, a complete picture of the origin of friction is still lacking. Besides mechanical based arguments (such as material prope ...
The wing of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, with its simple, two-dimensional structure, is a model organ well suited for a systems biology approach. The wing arises from an epithelial sac referred to as the wing imaginal disc, which undergoes a pha ...
Experiments on grid turbulence are reported for pure water and dilute Polyox WSR 301 solutions. A novel passive grid, which consists of a square mesh grid with tethered spheres, has been developed to enhance the turbulence properties. In pure water the new ...
Le site d'Artamis est à l'origine une zone industrielle qui, suite à sa fermeture, a été squatté par des artistes et est ainsi devenu le centre culturel alternatif de Genève. Il est aujourd'hui sur le point de changer d'affectation, pour cause d'une décont ...
The reliability of systems made of unreliable nanoelectronic devices is discussed in this paper. Massive defect density which may affect future fabrication technologies calls for novel solutions, where spatial redundancy and the voting scheme play a signif ...
