Slow motion iterations of all my whereabouts ever
Slow motion iterations of all my whereabouts ever charts the development of an unnamed speaker as they explore different relationships with the self, often represented by the first-person pronoun, the I. The manuscript progresses from a confusion over the self through a resistance to it, followed …

Computationally Efficient Multiuser and MIMO Detection based on Dichotomous Coordinate Descent Iterations
… based on Dichotomous Coordinate Descent (DCD) iterations, which are multiplication and division free, and therefore are attractive for real-time implementation. We propose a box-constrained DCD algorithm, and apply it to multiuser detection. We also design an FPGA architecture of the …

Optimizing automotive electrical distribution systems design and development by reducing design iterations
… functional groups generate potential design iterations and rework loops that have direct impacts on the cost, scope and schedule of automotive projects. This research has a fundamental purpose, the review of the electrical distribution systems design and development process inside an …

Photographic dissemination: iterations of difference in the text of landscape and photographic writing
This thesis challenges the notion that landscape can be seen or thought as a picture i.e. in terms of its modern definition and etymology. In questioning the modern definition of landscape the thesis asks a number of specific questions: does the etymology of landscape yield any latent meanings …

Numerical Simulations of Stokes Flow by the Iterations of Boundary Conditions and Finite Difference Methods
In this study the iteration of boundary conditions method (Chizhonkov and Kargin, 2006) is used together with the well known Finite difference numerical method to solve the Stokes problem over a rectangular domain as well as in irregular domain. The iteration of boundary conditions method has been …

Improving the Performance of Parallel Loops in OpenCilk
… encoding information about intervals of loop iterations in the runtime. Loop frames add first-class support to work stealing for parallel-for loops that composes with classical randomized work stealing. Second, loop frames allow intervals of loop iterations to be split on-the-fly, such that …

Flickering cities: multimedia city fabrics and the changing nature of citizenship
… extension cities themselves, exist as multiple iterations scattered across the whole range of the media spectrum. The new persuasive potential of these iterations in their different media necessitate a turn to “post-urban” city fabrics, and these new fabrics are expansion and re-expression of …

Exploring the Mechanical Behavior of a Traditional Japanese Joint for Flexible Structural Design
… optimization of the splice’s end sections yields iterations with varying volume reductions (50%, 70%, and 90%), showing significant topology differences between the two ends. Subsequently, all iterations were fabricated through 3D printing using PLA and subjected to three-point bending testing. …

Stokvels: bringing together borrowers, savers, and investors
… The system was developed using multiple iterations but time constraints did not allow for multiple iterations of user testing. It is best to have multiple iterations of user testing so that the user experience feedback can be incorporated into the following iterations

Design and optimization of three-dimensional scanning laser range finder
… develop a technique for minimizing the number of iterations needed to determine the XY&Z position for a laser rangefinding system. Using a Charged Coupled Device (CCD) camera to view a robotic work area a user can select an object on a monitor. A LASER is used to project a beam into the work area …

Low-order finite element preconditioner for spectral element pressure solver in Navier-Stokes equations
… difficult geometries. Controlling the number of iterations in the pressure solver can significantly reduce the computing time of CFD applications. A low-order finite element (FEM) operator collocated on the Gauss-Lobatto-Legendre (GLL) points in the SEM discretization is proposed as …

Iterating with crowd
… to understand the feedback and what motivated iterations. This could potentially aid development of rubrics for receiving design feedback using online forums. This thesis also looks at the difference in perceived quality of designs between iterations and if the perceived quality improves. …

System engineering applied to early phase offshore oil and gas projects
… an opportunity and end in execution with various iterations of developing design in between. Those various design iterations are critical to the success of any project. For complex projects, the inability to identify and evaluate feasible architectures in early design phases leads to long, …

A Smart Implementation of Turbo Decoding for Improved Power Efficiency
… dissipation increases. The number of decoding iterations has a similar effect on the BER performance and power dissipation of turbo coded systems. This is significant since turbo decoding is typically practiced in a fixed iterative manner, where all transmitted frames go through the same number …

Performance and Memory Space Optimizations for Embedded Systems
… applications. The method is to distribute loop iterations across parallel processors in an SPM-conscious manner. The compiler identifies potential SPM hits and misses, and distributes loop iterations such that the processors have close execution times.</p> <p>We present an SPM management …

Impact of technology readiness in the development of automotive systems when incorporating new styling : a graph theory approach to OPM hierarchical decomposition of the system's architecture
… as independent variables, whereas Styling Iterations and Styling Iterations Time were designated as the dependent variables. In this case, the tools used to confirm correlation among variables were simple and multiple linear regressions. As it will be further detailed, Styling Iterations …

Exploring walking and mapping in an architecture design studio
… testing by students took place over a number of iterations, each iteration being used to improve the proposal. This dissertation captures the proposal in a moment of its unfolding.The proposal requires a few more iterations before its conclusion.

Design and fabrication of injection-molded and 3D-printed battery clips for "Chibitronics" Circuit Sticker workbook
… as well as ensure manufacturability in future iterations of the clip. Prototypes were initially designed using modeling clay. These prototypes were then developed in Solidworks and printed on a MakerBot 3D printer. Three iterations of prototypes were tested and design decisions were made based …

New Remedial Approaches to the Breakdown of Lanczos-type Algorithms
… which rely on guessing the appropriate number of iterations before halting the Lanczos process and restarting it or switching to a different one. This guess is very sensitive to the type of problem solved, its data and size. If underestimated then the process is stopped too early, too often. This …
