Dynamic primitives facilitate manipulating a whip
Human dexterity far exceeds that of modern robots, despite a much slower neuromuscular system. Understanding how this is accomplished may lead to improved robot control. The slow neuromuscular system of humans implies that prediction based on some form of internal model plays a prominent role. …

Memory disambiguation to facilitate instruction-level parallelism compilation
To expose sufficient instruction-level parallelism (ILP) to make effective use of wide-issue superscalar and VLIW processor resources, the compiler must perform aggressive low-level code optimization and scheduling. However, ambiguous memory dependences can significantly limit the compiler's …

Simulation of a swine nursery to facilitate economical management
Two deterministic simulation models were developed to assess the economics of swine nurseries. The first model assessed the emergency needs of swine nurseries by simulating the temperature response during a short term power failure. The failure model accounted for heat exchange by conduction, …
