One-Sided Communication for High Performance Computing Applications
… concern in the message passing community. The one-sided programming paradigm, in which only one of the two processes involved in communication actively participates in message transfer, has seen increased interest as a potential replacement for message passing. One-sided communication does not …

Adaptive strategy for one-sided communication in MPICH2
The one-sided communication model (or remote memory access) supported by MPI-2 is more convenient to use than the regular two-sided send/receive communication model, because it allows the sender to specify all data transfer parameters and avoids the receiver to be explicitly involved in data …

One-sided screening procedure using multiple normally distributed variables
… model is evaluated. The evaluation is done for two cases: (1) the parameters of the underlying distribution are known, (2) the parameters are not known. The results show that the efficiency of the screening depends highly on the value of the correlation coefficient between the …

Assessing the Timing of One-Sided Violence in Civil Conflict
… insurgents increase the likelihood of committing one-sided violence after the initial months of conflict. However, as conflict drags on, the probability of insurgents harming noncombatants declines. Conversely, the longer conflict continues, the more likely it is for incumbents to perpetrate acts …

Stochastic Methods for One-Sided Bipartite Crossing Minimization and its Variants
The one-sided bipartite graph drawing problem has been extensively studied in the graph drawing literature, with numerous papers appearing over the years showing novel algorithms and heuristics for minimizing associated edge crossings. Although stochastic methods have been highly successful when …

One-sided communication on a non-cache-coherent many-core architecture
Aktuelle Mehrkernprozessoren stellen parallele Systeme dar, die den darauf ausgeführten Programmen gemeinsamen Speicher zur Verfügung stellen. Sowohl die ansteigende Kernanzahlen in sogenannten Vielkernprozessoren (many-core processors) als auch die weiterhin steigende Leistungsfähigkeit der …

Analytical and experimental investigations of ships impact interaction with one-sided barrier
… deals with impact interaction of ships with one-sided ice barrier during roll dynamics. An analytical model of ship roll motion interacting with ice is developed based on Zhuravlev and Ivanov non-smooth coordinate transformations. These transformations have the advantage of converting the …

Coded aperture imaging application in one-sided imaging of visually obscured objects
… traditional imaging techniques require a two-sided apparatus with a radiation source and a detector on opposite sides of the concealed object. One-sided imaging of concealed objects is made possible by a technique called backscatter imaging, utilizing high energy radiation. However, the signal …

Debond Buckling of Woven E-glass/Balsa Sandwich Composites Exposed to One-sided Heating
… of sandwich composite structures exposed to one-sided heating where a debond exists between the unexposed facesheet and core material. Sandwich composites of plain weave E-glass/epoxy facesheets and an end-grain balsa wood core manufactured using the Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding …

A comparison of one-sided variables acceptance sampling methods when measurements are subject to error
<p>One-sided variables acceptance sampling plans such as the one presented in Schilling1 assume that a quality characteristic of interest, X, has a normal distribution and that measurements are exact. However, when measurements contain error and standard plans are used, the probability of accepting …

Simultaneous Localization and Calibration in a Wireless Network of Uncooperative Nodes
… (APs) actually support the protocol. Using a one-sided RTT measurement technique that does not require cooperation from the AP, a mobile device can obtain distance measurements with most APs in operation today. A major obstacle to using one-sided RTT for localization is that measurements have …

Persuading college students to refrain from abusing energy drinks : a test of message framing, argument type, and cognitive load.

The moderating effect of culture on cognitive responding mechanisms toward advertising message sidedness
The research reported herein examines the two-sided versus one-sided advertising strategy from a cross-cultural perspective. It aims to help clarify conflicting findings in cross-cultural research with this form of appeal, as well as develop a model of the moderating effect of culture on the …

On robust jump detection in regression surfaces with applications to image analysis
In the one-dimensional case the difference of two one-sided kernel estimators can be used to detect discontinuities in regression functions. In smooth regions, an estimator using only observations on the left side will be similar to the estimator using only observations on the right side. In …

Sequential Confidence Sets With Beta-Protection in the Presence of Nuisance Parameters
… we study sequential procedures for constructing one-sided and bounded sequential confidence sets with $\beta$-protection and coverage probability at least 1 $-$ $\alpha$ for the mean of a distribution in the presence of nuisance parameters.

Implications of two-sided advertising in the automotive industry
… purchase. To this end, the concept of "Two-sided Messaging" is used by OEMs as one advertising strategy. The use of"Two-sided Advertising" has been widely studied and debated as to its effectiveness when compared to "One-sided Adverting" strategies. This thesis compares and contrasts the …

Influence of accelerator pedal force feedback on truck drivers' speed control
