Beefing Up The Buffer Cache
Modern life demands fast computations. Even the slightest latencies can have severe consequences and cost companies a fortune in lost revenue every hour. A vital component for reducing latency in computer systems is the cache. A cache's main purpose is to store data that is frequently re-accessed, …

ATRAP Buffer-Gas Positron Accumulator
The ATRAP collaboration has been creating antihydrogen, the simplest antimatter atom, since 2002 and has a long-term goal of performing precision laser spectroscopy on these antihydrogen atoms. ATRAP has produced antihydrogen by positron cooling of antiprotons and by a laser-controlled …

Stacked switched capacitor energy buffer architecture
Electrolytic capacitors are often used for energy buffering applications, including buffering between single-phase ac and dc. While these capacitors have high energy density compared to film and ceramic capacitors, their life is limited and their reliability is a major concern. This thesis presents …

Evaluating Determinants of Participation in Voluntary Riparian Buffer Programs: A Case Study of Maryland's Buffer Incentive Program
Forest or grass buffers planted along streams or other waterbodies are receiving considerable attention by policy makers as a way of providing a range of environmental benefits for society, especially prevention of non-point source water pollution from agricultural land. The current emphasis of …

IMPROVING GLOBAL ILLUMINATION WITH A-BUFFER TECHNIQUE
… We improve the accuracy by applying the A-buffer anti-aliasing technique to handle the hemicube visibility and aliasing, thereby alleviating this inaccuracy that was originally caused by the under/over estimation of the projections on the hemicube pixels. An appropriate meshing scheme, …

Kinetics of Buffer-Layer-Assisted Nanostructure Growth
… to circumvent these obstacles, the technique of buffer-layer-assisted growth (BLAG) was introduced by our research group during the 1990’s. In this technique, physical vapor deposition is done on a thin film buffer of condensed rare gas solid, where three-dimensional cluster growth is possible …

Clock tree synthesis under aggressive buffer insertion
… clock tree routing algorithm integrated with buffer insertion, buffer sizing, and topology generation that is able to consider general buffer insertion locations. While previous work on buffered clock tree synthesis restricts potential buffer locations on merge nodes in the clock tree …

An energy buffer for constant power loads
… impedance to the grid. The use of an energy buffer allows the converter to draw variable power in order to resemble a resistive load, while the output consumes constant power. A switched-mode power supply consisting of a cascaded boost and buck converter accomplishes this by storing energy in …

An efficient buffer management methods for Cachet
(cont.) running simulation. Third, since BCachet is almost linear under the assumption of a reasonable number of sites, BCachet is very scalable. Therefore, it can be used to for very large scale multiprocessor systems.

Performance Characterization and Buffer Memory Optimization of Database
Past approaches to fine-granularity buffering have proposed buffering either data tuples alone or index entries alone. In this thesis, we propose a scheme to support fine-granularity buffering of both index and data entries in a unified manner. The scheme, which we call Hot-Entry buffering, can be …

Blast overpressure relief using air vacated buffer medium
… amount by introducing the air-vacated buffer especially for incident overpressures of the order of a few atmospheres. This range of overpressures could be fatal to the human body which makes the concept very relevant for mitigation of human blast injuries. We establish a functional …

A passive microfluidic device for continuous buffer exchange
… the cells into a low-conductivity fluid buffer. The use of a low conductivity buffer also aids in minimizing the effects of Joule heating, which can cause cell death and ineffective cell trapping. The common method to prepare the sample relies on centrifugation of sensitive cells, a …

Adaptive buffer power save mechanism for mobile multimedia streaming
… of multimedia content. The proposed Adaptive-Buffer Power Save Mechanism (AB-PSM) controls how the data is sent over wireless networks, achieving significant power savings. There is little or no effect on the user and the algorithm is very simple to implement. The thesis describes tests which …

Joint buffer management and scheduling for input queued switches
… IQ switches. However, they do not consider the buffer space requirement inside an IQ switch that may render the scheduling algorithms inefficient in practical applications. In this dissertation, the Queue Length Proportional (QLP) algorithm is proposed for IQ switches. QLP considers both the …

Biological Phosphorus Solubilisation in Riparian Vegetated Buffer Strip Soils.
… P transfer by establishing riparian 'vegetated buffer strips' is becoming increasingly popular, as they have been shown to reduce total P delivery to streams. However, an uncertainty remains about how buffer strips alter the delivery of dissolved forms of P, which may be highly bioavailable to …
