Running in circles : packet routing on ring networks
I analyze packet routing on unidirectional ring networks, with an eye towards establishing bounds on the expected length of the queues. Suppose we route packets by a greedy "hot potato" protocol. If packets are inserted by a Bernoulli process and have uniform destinations around the ring, and if …

The bioenergetics of walking and running in space suits
… human planetary exploration. Space suits impose kinematic and kinetic boundary conditions that affect movement and locomotion, and in doing so modify the metabolic cost of physical activity. Metabolic requirements, found to be significantly elevated in space-suited activity, are a major driver of …

Running in Place: The Conditions Associated with Principal Transition in Chicago and the Implications for Policy and Practice
<p>There are more than 650 principals in Chicago’s public district and charter schools, and 60-90 of them leave every year. Using publicly available data, I look closely at the 228 transitions that occurred in 505 district-managed public schools between 2014 and 2017.</p> <p>The data in this study …

Shoe Bending Stiffness and Muscle-Tendon Unit Function in Running
The latest records set during long-distance running competitions have been attributed to recent footwear midsole innovations. One of these midsole innovations that has been claimed to have large effects on biomechanical, physiological, and performance variables is the use of a carbon fibre plate to …

Measuring the Impact of Elections on Judge Behavior Using Machine Learning and Economics Tools
Judges play a critical role in maintaining a fair and independent criminal justice system. Using a combination of empirical tools from Computer Science and Economics, this paper examines the effects of judicial elections on decisions by magistrate court judges in Pennsylvania. I find that judges …

Algorithms for Subset Sum using linear sketching
Given n positive integers, the Modular Subset Sum problem asks if a subset adds up to a given target t modulo a given integer m. This is a natural generalization of the Subset Sum problem (where m = + [infinity symbol]) with ties to additive combinatorics and cryptography. The non-modular case was …

Securing Cloud Containers through Intrusion Detection and Remediation
Linux containers are gaining increasing traction in both individual and industrial use. As these containers get integrated into mission-critical systems, real-time detection of malicious cyber attacks becomes a critical operational requirement. However, a little research has been conducted in this …

EMG measurement of the adductor muscles during walking and running
Introduction Increased pelvic drop has been linked to a range of musculoskeletal running injuries and may be linked to atypical activation pattern of the muscles surrounding the pelvis. However, to date, previous research investigating pelvic drop has focused on the abductor group, with minimal …

Effects of Prolonged Running on Ground Reaction Force Patterns Wearing Shoes of Different Midsole Durometers (Fatigue)
Selected force events and the relative timing of their occurrence, were chosen for evaluation from the GRF curves obtained from 15 subjects, 18 to 49 years, running "as hard as possible." GRFs were measured on a force platform at the start, middle, and end of one hour of running. Testing took place …

The effect of elevated temperatures on the wear of medium-chromium steel in carbon dioxide
Unidirectional and reciprocating sliding experiments were carried out at elevated temperatures on a 9% chromium steel in atmospheres of air and carbon dioxide with the aim of assessing running-in wear. It was hoped that results obtained might aid the prediction of lifetimes of components subject to …
