APPARATUS, METHOD AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT PROVIDING SELECTION OF PACKET SEGMENTATION

A method, computer program, and apparatus adaptively select a segmentation option for service data units based on a bandwidth allocation. In general terms, one of a first segmentation option or a second segmentation option is selected based on a bandwidth allocation that is selected from among several possible bandwidth allocation options. A service data unit is segmented according to the selected segmentation option and wirelessly transmitted. In an embodiment, the first segmentation option uses a predetermined length such as a fixed length that may be chosen to match an IP packet size, or a predetermined maximum length to which the size of segmented units are constrained, and segmentation occurs prior to packet scheduling. In an embodiment, the second segmentation option uses a dynamic length that changes per transmission time interval, and segmentation occurs after packet scheduling and after the size of the transport block is determined.
Measurement of quadrupole moments of unstable nuclei during channeling and the possibility of revealing the effect of vector polarization of tensor-polarized beams of nuclei

General relations are deduced which describe the spin dynamics of beams of nuclei with the initial tensor and vector polarizations upon planar channeling in bent crystals. Our analysis demonstrates the possibility of revealing the effect of vector polarization, as predicted by Baryshevsky and Sokolsky, which occurs upon the planar channeling of a beam of nuclei with initial tensor polarization. The planar channeling of a beam of nuclei with the initial tensor and vector polarizations may be used to determine the quadrupole moments of unstable nuclei with a small lifetime of up to the order of 10−7 s. The quadrupole moments of nuclei with a lifetime on the order of 10−7 s cannot be measured by known techniques, including optical methods.
FIELD EFFECT TRANSISTOR STRUCTURE WITH AN INSULATING LAYER AT THE JUNCTION

A method of making a FET includes forming a gate structure (18), then etching cavities on either side. A SiGe layer (22) is then deposited on the substrate (10) in the cavities, followed by an Si layer (24). A selective etch is then carried out to etch away the SiGe (22) except for a part of the layer under the gate structure (18), and oxide (28) is grown to fill the resulting gap. SiGe source and drains are then deposited in the cavities. The oxide (28) can reduce junction leakage current.
Covariations between Shell-Growth Parameters and the Control of the Ranges of Variation of Functionally Relevant Shell-Shape Parameters in Bivalves: A Theoretical Approach

Major traits of shell shape in bivalves may alternatively be described in terms of (i) functionally relevant parameters, assumed to play a significant role in the adaptation of bivalves molluscs to their environments (such as the shell-outline elongation <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M1"><mml:mrow><mml:mi>E</mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:math>, ventral convexity <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M2"><mml:mrow><mml:mi>K</mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:math>, and dissymmetry <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M3"><mml:mrow><mml:mi>D</mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:math>), or (ii) growth-based parameters, directly controlled by the animal. Due to the geometrical linkage between functionally-relevant and growth-based parameters, adaptive constraints that may either widen or narrow the respective ranges of variations of the functional parameters lead to the onset of specific covariations (either positive or negative) between the growth-based parameters. This has practical interest since adaptive constraints are often difficult to identify directly, while they can be conveniently inferred indirectly via the easily recorded patterns of covariances between growth-based parameters. Hereafter, I provide the theoretical background of this tool, including (1) establishing the geometrical relationships between growth-based and functionally relevant parameters and (2) then specifying the correspondences between the different patterns of adaptive constraints, widening or narrowing the variations of the functional parameters and the corresponding patterns of covariations between the growth-based parameters. Illustrative examples of the practical use of this tool are provided, considering both interspecific and intraspecific variations within marine and fresh-water clams.

Analysis of size effects associated to the transformation strain in TRIP steels with strain gradient plasticity

The size dependent strengthening resulting from the transformation strain in Transformation Induced Plasticity (TRIP) steels is investigated using a two-dimensional embedded cell model of a simplified microstructure composed of small cylindrical metastable austenitic inclusions within a ferritic matrix. Earlier studies have shown that within the framework of classical plasticity or of the single length parameter Fleck-Hutchinson strain gradient plasticity theory, the transformation strain has no significant impact on the overall strengthening. The strengthening is essentially coming from the composite effect with a marked inclusion size effect resulting from the appearance during deformation of new boundaries constraining the plastic flow. The three parameters version of the Fleck-Hutchinson strain gradient plasticity theory is used here in order to better capture the effect of the plastic strain gradients resulting from the transformation strain. The three parameters theory incorporates separately the rotational and extensional gradients in the formulation, which leads to a significant influence of the shear component of the transformation strain, not captured by the single-parameter theory. When the size of the austenitic inclusions decreases, the overall strengthening increases due to a combined size dependent effect of the transformation strain and of the evolving composite structure. A parametric Study is proposed and discussed in the light of experimental evidences giving indications on the optimization of the microstructure of TRIP-assisted multi-phase steels.

Optical Waveguide filter and production process thereof

Core comprises a main stem which is formed on a substrate (10), linearly extending in the beam propagating direction and short branches (12a,12b) with a certain length which extend perpendicularly to the beam propagating direction (16) toward both sides along the plane of the substrate and are arranged at regular intervals in the beam propagating direction. Thus, the branches are arranged in a ladder geometry when it is viewed from the top, forming a rectangular waveform arrangement. The core (12) constitutes a grating structure in which the width of the core is made to vary periodically with the branches in the beam propagating direction. <IMAGE>

Carbon quantity defines productivity while its quality defines community composition of bacterioplankton in subarctic ponds

Bacterial communities in 16 oligotrophic ponds in Kilpisjarvi, subarctic Finland, were studied to test the hypothesis that dissolved organic carbon (DOC) quantity and quality differently influence bacterioplankton. The ponds were located below and above treeline at 600 m a.s.l., with 2–4 fold higher concentration of DOC below treeline. The concentration of DOC changed during the open-water season with highest values measured in mid-summer. Bacterial production, abundance, biomass were highest in mid-summer and correlated positively with the concentration of DOC. Quality indices of DOC showed that spring differed from the rest of the season. Highest specific UV-absorbance (SUVA) and humification index (HI), ratio a250/a265 and lowest fluorescence index (FI) were found during spring compared to summer and autumn, possibly indicating higher relative importance of allochthonous carbon during spring and a seasonal effect of photo-oxidation. According to Length Heterogeneity Polymerase Chain Reaction (LH-PCR) analyses, bacterial communities in spring were significantly different from those later in the season, possible due to the introduction of terrestrial bacteria associated with higher molecular weight material in spring DOC. Comparison between ponds situated above and below treeline revealed that bacteria were more abundant and productive at lower altitudes, which is probably connected to higher concentrations of DOC. The results also suggest that increased temperature and precipitation induced by global change and consequent higher allochthonous DOC runoff from the catchment could have a strong impact on biomass, productivity and community composition of micro-organisms in subarctic ponds and lakes.
Statistical inférence methods for Gibbs random fields

Due to the Markovian dependence structure, the normalizing constant of Markov random fields cannot be computed with standard analytical or numerical methods. This forms a central issue in terms of parameter inference or model selection as the computation of the likelihood is an integral part of the procedure. When the Markov random field is directly observed, we propose to estimate the posterior distribution of model parameters by replacing the likelihood with a composite likelihood, that is a product of marginal or conditional distributions of the model easy to compute. Our first contribution is to correct the posterior distribution resulting from using a misspecified likelihood function by modifying the curvature at the mode in order to avoid overly precise posterior parameters.

In a second part we suggest to perform model selection between hidden Markov random fields with approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) algorithms that compare the observed data and many Monte-Carlo simulations through summary statistics. To make up for the absence of sufficient statistics with regard to this model choice, we introduce summary statistics based on the connected components of the dependency graph of each model in competition. We assess their efficiency using a novel conditional misclassification rate that evaluates their local power to discriminate between models. We set up an efficient procedure that reduces the computational cost while improving the quality of decision and using this local error rate we build up an ABC procedure that adapts the summary statistics to the observed data.

In a last part, in order to circumvent the computation of the intractable likelihood in the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), we extend the mean field approaches by replacing the likelihood with a product of distributions of random vectors, namely blocks of the lattice. On that basis, we derive BLIC (Block Likelihood Information Criterion) that answers model choice questions of a wider scope than ABC, such as the joint selection of the dependency structure and the number of latent states. We study the performances of BLIC in terms of image segmentation.
A swarm robotics construction system

This proposal details an investigation into the development of control software for swarms of robots tasked with building structures. The behavior of the individual robots in this work will be fully autonomous and will be based on the nest building behavior of social insects. It is of interest to investigate whether the building behavior of social insects can be transferred to and implemented in a swarm of robots since the social insect behavior has been shown to be parallel, robust, and scalable.

I outline in this proposal the second milestone of my ambitious research project that I have devised to investigate how swarm robotics can be applied to construction. I completed the first milestone of this research project during my doctoral studies, where I implemented and validated a swarm robotics construction system using both hardware and simulation.

I have organized the second milestone of my research project into four work packages. In these work packages, I will develop, implement, and validate control software for a swarm of robots, which must perform a construction task. These work packages use a combination of the simulation and hardware tools that I developed during my doctoral studies to efficiently and accurately answer a number of open research questions. I have designed these work packages to be completed at IRIDIA where I have access to world-class facilities such as a computer cluster with more than 1000 CPUs for running simulations and a state-of-the-art arena and tracking setup for running hardware experiments.

I believe that by undertaking the second milestone of this project at IRIDIA under the supervision of Prof. Marco Dorigo, I will be able to successfully establish myself as an independent researcher.

CURABLE COMPOSITIONS, PROCESSES FOR USING SUCH COMPOSITIONS TO PREPARE COMPOSITES AND PROCESSES FOR PREPARING COMPOSITES HAVING SUPERIOR SURFACE FINISH AND HIGH FIBER CONSOLIDATION

Curable compositions, such as oxazine-based ones, are useful in applications within the aerospace industry, such as for example as a thermosetting resin composition for use as a matrix resin in processes, such as resin transfer molding, vacuum assisted transfer molding, resin film infusion, prepregging and towpregging, where the composites or laminates so prepared have superior surface finish and high fiber consolidation.
Optimized Multisite Ventricular Pacing in Postoperative Single-Ventricle Patients

Ventricular dyssynchrony is associated with morbidity and mortality after palliation of a single ventricle. The authors hypothesized that resynchronization with optimized temporary multisite pacing postoperatively would be safe, feasible, and effective. Pacing was assessed in the intensive care unit within the first 24 h after surgery. Two unipolar atrial pacing leads and four bipolar ventricular pacing leads were placed at standardized sites intraoperatively. Pacing was optimized to maximize mean arterial pressure. The protocol tested 11 combinations of the 4 different ventricular lead sites, 6 atrioventricular delays (50-150 ms), and 14 intraventricular delays. Optimal pacing settings were thus determined and ultimately compared in four configurations: bipolar, unipolar, single-site atrioventricular pacing, and intrinsic rhythm. Each patient was his or her own control, and all pacing comparisons were implemented in random sequence. Single-ventricle palliation was performed for 17 children ages 0-21 years. Pacing increased mean arterial pressure (MAP) versus intrinsic rhythm, with the following configurations: bipolar multisite pacing increased MAP by 2.2 % (67.7 ± 2.4 to 69.2 ± 2.4 mmHg; p = 0.013) and unipolar multisite pacing increased MAP by 2.8 % (67.7 ± 2.4 to 69.6 ± 2.7 mmHg; p = 0.002). Atrioventricular single-site pacing increased MAP by 2.1 % (67.7 ± 2.4 to 69.1 ± 2.5 mmHg: p = 0.02, insignificant difference under Bonferroni correction). The echocardiographic fractional area change in nine patients increased significantly only with unipolar pacing (32 ± 3.1 to 36 ± 4.2 %; p = 0.02). No study-related adverse events occurred. Multisite pacing optimization is safe and feasible in the early postoperative period after single-ventricle palliation, with improvements in mean arterial pressure and fractional area shortening. Further study to evaluate clinical benefits is required.
WIND TURBINE PROVIDING GRID SUPPORT

A variable speed wind turbine is arranged to provide additional electrical power to counteract non-periodic disturbances in an electrical grid. A controller monitors events indicating a need to increase the electrical output power from the wind turbine to the electrical grid. The controller is arranged to control the wind turbine as follows: after an indicating event has been detected, the wind turbine enters an overproduction period in which the electrical output power is increased, wherein the additional electrical output power is taken from kinetic energy stored in the rotor and without changing the operation of the wind turbine to a more efficient working point. When the rotational speed of the rotor reaches a minimum value, the wind turbine enters a recovery period to re-accelerate the rotor to the nominal rotational speed while further contributing to the stability of the electrical grid by outputting at least a predetermined minimum electrical power.
PARAMETRIC APPROACH FOR GENERATING NEW MUQARNAS

In recent decades, the search for new geometrical innovations has been of great interest for contemporary architects artists, trying to escape the repetitive use of historical ornamental details of architectural styles orders or the absence of such ornaments in the modern style. This paper aims to lay down the basis for generating new muqarnas elements based on the cosmological nature of Islamic Architecture, but still preserving its concepts. The muqarnas was chosen because it is one of most original inventions of Islamic architecture and one of its most effective and widespread applications. Innovation in its design requires freedom of expression that can be limited by design software. Furthermore, the process of testing ideas can be tedious and time-consuming. Parametric and generative design, using Grasshopper, is used to reformulate the muqarnas generation process using visual programming. Parametric design and hypothetical geometric patterns in a linear or polar arraying direction produce a clearly defined muqarnas.
