The Simplepipe Toolset Manual, Vinayak Joshi, Mark A. Franklin

All Computer Science and Engineering Research

SimplePipe is a simulation framework/tool for analyzing performance effects of alternative task allocations in network processors having multiple pipelines where pipeline stages are either processors or dedicated hardware functions. Tasks are defined in terms of sequence of separate C program executions with each sequence representing the functional requirements of a flow, where a flow is defined as the set of packets having the same processing requirements. The assignment of tasks to pipeline stages, selection of number of stages, and determination of processor cache sizes are important designing decisions impacting performance.

Apparatus And Method For Dispersing Nano-Elements To Assemble Device, Craig A. Grimes, Elizabeth Dickey

Chemical and Materials Engineering Faculty Patents

An apparatus for dispersing a first plurality of conductive elongated nano-elements distributed within a carrier-fluid to assemble a conductive device made of a first charge-receptive area of a support surface to which at least one nano-element has attached, including: a nozzle through which the elongated nano-elements are directed such that the nano-elements pass through an electromagnetic field for imparting a preselected charge thereto, and toward at least the first charge-receptive area. The charge-receptive area is given a charge such that it attracts a first end-portion of one of the nano-elements. Also, a method of assembling a conductive device. Steps include: …

You Can't Ask (Or Say) That: The First Amendment And Civil Rights Restrictions On Decisionmaker Speech, Helen L. Norton

Faculty Scholarship

Many antidiscrimination statutes limit speech by employers, landlords, lenders, and other decisionmakers in one or both of two ways: (1) by prohibiting queries soliciting information about an applicant's disability, sexual orientation, marital status, or other protected characteristic; and (2) by proscribing discriminatory advertisements or other expressions of discriminatory preference for applicants based on race, sex, age, sexual orientation, or other protected characteristics.

This Article explores how we might think about these laws for First Amendment purposes. Part I outlines the range of civil rights restrictions on decisionmaker speech, while Part II identifies the antidiscrimination and privacy concerns that drive their …

Las Tecnologías De La Información Y La Comunicación Y Los Indicadores De Evaluación Universitaria En España, Antonio Cardona Rodríguez, Miren Barrenetzea Ayesta

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

All institutions proclaim the importance of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in education, but is this taken into account when evaluating universities? Is it included in the evaluation indicators? In Spain, as in other neighboring countries, universities are immersed in a process of institutional evaluation. The indicator catalog is a fundamental part of the evaluation process. In this paper we make a brief analysis of the catalog of indicators proposed by the University Coordination Council in relation to its ability to measure the incorporation of ICT in universities.

Processes For Nanomachining Using Carbon Nanotubes, Robert Ryan Vallance, Apparao M. Rao, M. Pinar Mengüç

Mechanical Engineering Faculty Patents

Novel methods and devices for nanomachining a desired pattern on a surface of a conductive workpiece are disclosed. In one aspect, the method comprises using an electron beam emitted from one or more nanotubes to evaporate nanoscale quantities of material from the workpiece surface. The surface of the workpiece to be machined may be excited to a threshold energy to reduce the amount of power required to be emitted by the nanotube. In another aspect, a device is described for nanomachining a desired pattern on a surface of a conductive workpiece, comprising a vessel capable of sustaining a vacuum, a …

From Schweizerhalle To Baia Mare: The Continuing Failure Of International Law To Protect Europe's Rivers, Aaron Schwabach

Law Faculty Scholarship

Beginning on January 31, 2000, at least 100,000 cubic meters of highly polluted water escaped from a tailings dam at the Aurul gold mine in Baia Mare, Romania. The water flowed into the Somes, Tisza, and Danube Rivers, causing enormous environmental damage. Most of the damage occurred in Hungary, downstream from Baia Mare. Hungarian politicians called the spill “the first, most serious environment[al] catastrophe in the 21st century,” and “the worst ecological disaster in central Europe since Chernobyl in 1986.”

More striking than the resemblance to the Chernobyl disaster, though, was the resemblance to another 1986 environmental catastrophe: the Sandoz …

The Effect Of Time Delays In The Stability Of Load Balancing Algorithms For Parallel Computations, Chaouki T. Abdallah, J. D. Birdwell, John Chiasson, Zhong Tang, Nivedita Alluri, Tsewei Wang

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

Deterministic dynamic nonlinear time-delay systems are developed to model load balancing in a cluster of computer nodes used for parallel computations. The model is shown to be self consistent in that the queue lengths cannot go negative and the total number of tasks in all the queues are conserved (i.e., load balancing can neither create nor lose tasks). Further, it is shown that using the proposed load balancing algorithms, the system is stable. Experimental results are presented and compared with the predicted results from the analytical model. In particular, simulations of the models are compared with an experimental implementation of …

Dynamical Discrete-Time Load Balancing In Distributed Systems In The Presence Of Time Delays, Chaouki T. Abdallah, S. Dhakal, B. S. Paskaleva, M. M. Hayat, E. Schamiloglu

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

The implementation of a load balancing policy on a continuous basis in a delay-limited distributed computing environment may not only drain the computational resources of each computational element (CE), but can also lead to an unnecessary exchange of loads between the CEs. This degrades the system performance, measured by the overall completion time of the total tasks in the system. Thus, for a given distribution of the load among the CEs, there has to be an optimal number and distribution of discrete balancing instants. This paper focuses on #xing the number of balancing instants and optimizing the completion time over …

Robust Mobile Robotic Formation Control Using Internet-Like Protocols, Chaouki T. Abdallah, R. Sandoval-Rodriguez, R. H. Byme

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

This work presents an internet-like protocol (ILP) to coordinate the formation of n second-order agents in a two dimensional (2D) space. The trajectories are specified trough via points and a desired formation at each point. A basis for the proof of convergence is given using Lyapunov second method. Simulink is used to verify the response of the agents for a variety of desired trajectories. The proposed algorithms are robust in the sense that they can accommodate changes in the formation of the agents and more importantly, changes in the number of agents as some of them drop of or join …

Quasi-Monte Carlo Methods In Robust Control Design, Chaouki T. Abdallah, Peter E. Hokayem

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

Many practical control problems are so complex that traditional analysis and design methods fail to solve. Consequently, sampling methods that provide approximate solutions to such difficult problems have emerged. In this paper we address the deterministic quasi-Monte Carlo method of sampling and attempt to impose bounds on the error involved in the evaluation of the quality of performance of a specific controller over the whole plant parameter uncertainty space.

Least Squares Support Vector Machines For Fixed-Step And Fixed-Set Cdma Power Control, Chaouki T. Abdallah, Judd A. Rohwer, Christos G. Christodoulou

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

This paper presents two machine learning based algorithms for CDMA power control. The least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM) algorithms classify eigenvalues estimates into sets of power control commands. A binary LS-SVM algorithm generates fixed step power control (FSPC) commands, while the one vs. one multiclass LS-SVM algorithm generates estimates for fixed set power control.
