description: Ce mémoire professionnel émet des hyphothèses sur les manières dont les enseignants du cycle 1 peuvent, au travers d’ateliers ludiques autour des contes, enseigner l’oral et faire progresser les élèves. Suite aux observations dans nos classes de stage, nous avions constaté que l’oral dans le cadre de la discipline du français était rarement travaillé. Or, les cours de didactique du français que nous avons suivis à la Haute école pédagogique de Lausanne ont insisté sur l’importance de l’apprentissage de l’oral et ses difficultés. La particularité de ce mémoire est que l’expérimentation concerne une classe ordinaire et une classe spécialisée. Raison pour laquelle le choix des ateliers travaillant l’oral est différent dans les deux classes. Néanmoins, tous les ateliers pourraient être animés dans le cadre scolaire ordinaire et vice-versa. L’hétérogénéité du niveau des enfants entre les deux classes ne trouble en rien notre recherche qui démontre positivement les effets des divers atelier dans l’évolution du langage des élèves. De nombreux concepts sont en lien avec ce travail : l’étayage, le guidage, la reformulation, la planification et le rôle de l’enseignant. De même, la pédagogie de projet s’est révélée être un choix opportun pour motiver intrinsèquement les élèves en donnant du sens à leurs apprentissages. La conclusion explique quels ateliers ont permis de faire progresser au mieux les élèves des deux classes et est l’occasion de forumuler l’hypothèse d’autres gains développementaux qui ont été stimulés durant cette expérimentation : la fonction symbolique, l’imagination, l’autorégulation, la gestion des émotions ainsi que la pensée soutenue par des images mentales.

Year: 2006

description: The non-preemptive scheduling of periodic task systems upon processing platforms comprised of several identical processors is considered. The exact problem has previously been proven intractable even upon single processors; sufficient conditions are presented here for determining whether a given periodic task system will meet all deadlines if scheduled non-preemptively upon a multiprocessor platform using the earliest-deadline first scheduling algorithm.

description: WEAVE is the new wide-field spectroscopy facility for the prime focus of the William Herschel Telescope in La Palma, Spain. Its fibre positioner is essential for the accurate placement of the spectrograph's 960 fibre multiplex. We provide an overview of the recent maintenance, flexure modifications, and calibration measurements conducted at the observatory prior to the final top-end assembly. This work ensures that we have a complete understanding of the positioner's behaviour as it changes orientation during observations. All fibre systems have been inspected and repaired, and the tumbler structure contains new clamps to stiffen both the internal beam and the retractor support disk onto which the field plates attach. We present the updated metrology procedures and results that will be verified on-sky.

description: Asparaginase is an important agent for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), but it is occasionally associated with severe adverse events. Thus, for safer and more efficacious therapy, a clinical biomarker predicting asparaginase sensitivity is highly anticipated. Asparaginase depletes serum asparagine by deaminating asparagine into aspartic acid, and ALL cells are thought to be sensitive to asparaginase due to reduced asparagine synthetase (ASNS) activity. We have recently shown that allele-specific methylation of the ASNS gene is highly involved in asparaginase sensitivity in B-precursor ALL (BCP-ALL) by using next-generation sequence (NGS) analysis of bisulphite PCR products of the genomic DNA. Here, we sought to confirm the utility of methylation status of the ASNS gene evaluated with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis of bisulphite PCR products for future clinical applications. In the global methylation status of 23 CpG sites at the boundary region of promoter and exon 1 of the ASNS gene, a strong positive correlation was confirmed between the mean percent methylation evaluated with the HPLC method and that with the NGS method in 79 BCP-ALL cell lines (R2 = 0.85, p = 1.3 × 10−33) and in 63 BCP-ALL clinical samples (R2 = 0.84, p = 5.0 × 10−26). Moreover, methylation status of the ASNS gene evaluated with the HPLC method was significantly associated with in vitro asparaginase sensitivities as well as gene and protein expression levels of ASNS. These observations indicated that the ASNS gene methylation status evaluated with the HPLC method is a reliable biomarker for predicting the asparaginase sensitivity of BCP-ALL.

description: Using the OMNI data for period 1976-2000 we investigate the temporal profiles of 20 plasma and field parameters in the disturbed large-scale types of solar wind (SW): CIR, ICME (both MC and Ejecta) and Sheath as well as the interplanetary shock (IS). To take into account the different durations of SW types, we use the double superposed epoch analysis (DSEA) method: re-scaling the duration of the interval for all types in such a manner that, respectively, beginning and end for all intervals of selected type coincide. As the analyzed SW types can interact with each other and change parameters as a result of such interaction, we investigate separately 8 sequences of SW types: (1) CIR, (2) IS/CIR, (3) Ejecta, (4) Sheath/Ejecta, (5) IS/Sheath/Ejecta, (6) MC, (7) Sheath/MC, and (8) IS/Sheath/MC. The main conclusion is that the behavior of parameters in Sheath and in CIR are very similar both qualitatively and quantitatively. Both the high-speed stream (HSS) and the fast ICME play a role of pistons which push the plasma located ahead them. The increase of speed in HSS and ICME leads at first to formation of compression regions (CIR and Sheath, respectively), and then to IS. The occurrence of compression regions and IS increases the probability of growth of magnetospheric activity.

An EDF-based restricted-migration scheduling algorithm for multiprocessor soft real-time systems
Creators: name: Anderson, James

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: There has been much recent interest in the use of the earliest-deadline-first (EDF) algorithm for scheduling soft real-time sporadic task systems on identical multiprocessors. In hard real-time systems, a significant disparity exists between EDF-based schemes and Pfair scheduling: on M processors, the worst-case schedulable utilization for all known EDF variants is approximately M/2, whereas it is M for optimal Pfair algorithms. This is unfortunate because EDF-based algorithms entail lower scheduling and task-migration overheads. However, such a disparity in schedulability can be alleviated by easing the requirement that all deadlines be met, which may be sufficient for soft real-time systems. In particular, in recent work, we have shown that if task migrations are not restricted, then EDF (i.e., global EDF) can ensure bounded tardiness for a sporadic task system with no restrictions on total utilization. Unrestricted task migrations in global EDF may be unappealing for some systems, but if migrations are forbidden entirely, then bounded tardiness cannot be guaranteed. In this paper, we address the issue of striking a balance between task migrations and system utilization by proposing an algorithm called EDF-fm, which is based upon EDF and treads a middle path, by restricting, but not eliminating, task migrations. Specifically, under EDF-fm, the ability to migrate is required for at most M − 1 tasks, and it is sufficient that every such task migrate between two processors and at job boundaries only. EDF-fm, like global EDF, can ensure bounded tardiness to a sporadic task system as long as the available processing capacity is not exceeded, but, unlike global EDF, may require that per-task utilizations be capped. The required cap is quite liberal, hence, EDF-fm should enable a wide range of soft real-time applications to be scheduled with no constraints on total utilization.

description: A la croisée entre les disciplines musique et français, cette recherche questionne la transférabilité de compétences psychomotrices acquises lors de la pratique des jeux de tapemains au geste graphique. Ces jeux coopératifs consistent en une séquence dans laquelle deux personnes face à face réalisent, dans un ordre prédéfini, une série de frappes dans les mains et sur d’autres parties du corps en scandant une comptine. Le geste graphique, quant à lui, s’entend comme le processus permettant la représentation d’un symbole ou signe prédéfini, qui a été ici observé sous la forme d’exercices d’écriture cursive. Les chercheuses ont identifié des similitudes dans les compétences nécessaires à la réussite de ces deux activités, telles que l’accélération et le freinage, l’anticipation, le tonus et la détente ainsi que la pression. L’écriture cursive faisant partie des apprentissages principaux de la 3P, le dispositif mis en place cherche à savoir dans quelle mesure les jeux de tape-mains peuvent en améliorer la maîtrise. L’expérience pratique, menée dans une classe test et deux classes témoin de 3P (6-7 ans) du canton de Vaud (Suisse), s’est déroulée sur une durée de 4 mois dès la rentrée scolaire. Dans la classe test, les jeux de tape-mains ont été pratiqués quotidiennement ainsi qu’avant chaque période d’écriture. A cinq reprises, les trois classes ont produit des échantillons d’écriture selon un modèle commun. L’analyse de ces productions met en évidence une amélioration des compétences chez les élèves de la classe ayant bénéficié de la pratique des jeux de tapemains. La pratique de ces jeux ne requiert que peu de temps et de moyens et, outre le geste graphique lui-même, elle renforce les capacités transversales telles que le respect de l’autre et la coopération et contribue à la construction d’une culture commune. Ainsi, son implémentation en classe de 3P prend tout son sens.

description: Concernées par la question du manque d’activité physique chez les élèves, nous nous sommes demandé comment aider les élèves à avoir une meilleure conscience de leur corps. L’hypothèse principale de cette étude pose que la mise en musique des termes définissant les parties du corps humain dans un programme spécifique d’activités corporelles accélère le développement du schéma corporel, facilitant ainsi, par la suite, tous les autres apprentissages scolaires. Cette recherche a été réalisée auprès de deux classes de 1-2 Harmos (1H-2H) d’un même établissement scolaire. En parallèle, nous avons interrogé douze enseignantes afin d’en savoir davantage sur leurs pratiques favorisant le développement du schéma corporel des élèves. Il a d’abord fallu procéder, à l’aide de diverses tâches proposées aux élèves, à une évaluation diagnostique (pré-test) qui a permis d’évaluer leurs connaissances et la perception de leur corps. Un programme didactique différencié a été conçu pour deux classes, et ceci sur plusieurs mois. Il s’agissait de créer une situation particulière pour mettre à l’épreuve l’hypothèse principale de cette étude. La première classe (groupe expérimental) a effectué le programme original avec musique, tandis que l’autre (groupe contrôle) a suivi le programme sans musique. À la fin du programme, un post-test a été effectué, afin de comparer les savoirs acquis, et de constater si la musique a contribué à aider efficacement les élèves à prendre conscience de leur corps. Les résultats semblent montrer que, contrairement à l’hypothèse principale, la mise en musique des termes définissant les parties du corps humain ne joue pas de rôle facilitateur dans le développement du schéma corporel des élèves, en tout cas pour ce qui concerne les deux classes concernées par cette étude.
Tardiness bounds under global EDF scheduling on a multiprocessor

description: We consider the scheduling of a sporadic real-time task system on an identical multiprocessor. Though Pfair algorithms are theoretically optimal for such task systems, in practice, their runtime overheads can significantly reduce the amount of useful work that is accomplished. On the other hand, if all deadlines need to be met, then every known non-Pfair algorithm requires restrictions on total system utilization that can approach approximately 50% of the available processing capacity. This may be overkill for soft real-time systems, which can tolerate occasional or bounded deadline misses (i.e., bounded tardiness). In this paper we derive tardiness bounds under preemptive and non-preemptive global EDF when the total system utilization is not restricted, except that it not exceed the available processing capacity. Hence, processor utilization can be improved for soft real-time systems on multiprocessors. Our tardiness bounds depend on the total system utilization and per-task utilizations and execution costs — the lower these values, the lower the tardiness bounds. As a final remark, we note that global EDF may be superior to partitioned EDF for multiprocessor-based soft real-time systems in that the latter does not offer any scope to improve system utilization even if bounded tardiness can be tolerated.

description: We present deep observations of CO(3-2) from the Cloverleaf lensed quasar-starburst at $z=2.56$. We discover a 4-5 times less massive companion at a projected distance of 33 kpc from the Cloverleaf host galaxy. The galaxies are connected by a bridge of CO emission, indicating that they are interacting and that the companion is being stripped by the Cloverleaf. We also find evidence for fast molecular gas in the spectral line of the Cloverleaf that may be an outflow induced by stellar or quasar feedback. All of these features may be ubiquitous among quasars and only detected here with the help of gravitational lensing and the sensitivity of the data. Overall, these findings agree with galaxy formation scenarios that predict gas-rich mergers play a key role in quasar triggering, starburst triggering and the formation of compact spheroids.

title: Non-communicable diseases in Ghana: risk factors, prevalence and social support systems
Creators: name: Banchani, Emmanuel
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2021

description: The aim of this thesis is to examine the effects of individual and neighborhood socioeconomic status (SES) on hypertension, establish an association between non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and disability and examine the role of social support systems in management of NCDs in Ghana. Specific focus is given to the burden of hypertension, diabetes, and stroke. The study is motivated by the scarcity of research on NCD-related risks among women in Ghana. Similarly, there is paucity of academic literature on relationships between NCDs, disability, and social support systems available to people living with these chronic conditions. In examining these issues, a mixed methods sequential explanatory research design is adopted using the World Health Organization’s Commission on Social Determinants of Health (CSDH) as a conceptual framework. Specifically, data from the Women’s Health Study of Accra (WHSA-I) and the Ghana Global Ageing on Adult Health Survey (SAGE) are analyzed using multilevel logistic regression and ordinary least squares (OLS) regression respectively. In addition, qualitative interviews were undertaken in two teaching hospitals in Ghana with 33 patients living with NCDs, who were recruited for the study using purposive sampling technique. Results from the quantitative analyses reveal that wealthy women are more likely to be hypertensive compared to poorer women. However, the effects of neighborhood SES/wealth was attenuated after adjusting for individual-level SES/wealth. In addition, respondents with higher education reported higher levels of disability compared to those with no education, while stroke emerge as the major contributor to disability among Ghanaians. Thematic analysis of the interview data further indicate that the nuclear family is the main source of social support for the self-management of NCDs. The results suggests that efforts aimed at the prevention, control and management of hypertension should focus on changing individual behavioral lifestyles. Health promotion programs should also focus individual factors (engaging in physical activity and adoption of healthy diet with an emphasis on fruit and vegetable consumption etc) in the prevention, control and management of hypertension in Ghana. This research also offers innovative contributions to the extant literature by confirming that the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) can be effectively used to classify individuals with disabilities living in Ghana not only based on their medical conditions, but also by their functioning level. This research further demonstrates that the ICF framework can be used within the healthcare setting to promote inclusiveness within the broader community. Finally, the study findings demonstrates that social support can be used as a strategy in the promotion of the physical and mental well-being of these NCD patients.

description: Notre mémoire professionnel, composé de trois parties, traite de l’aisance à prendre ou non la parole en classe enfantine lors de moments collectifs. En effet, si l’on peut affirmer que prendre la parole dans son environnement quotidien ou, plus tard, dans sa vie citoyenne et sociale est indispensable, savoir exprimer ses idées est une habileté qui ne va pas de soi. Or, l’oral à l’école, souvent perçu comme un préalable aux apprentissages des disciplines scolaires, est rarement considéré comme objet d’apprentissage. Dans la première partie de ce mémoire, nous présentons le langage oral au sein des apprentissages dans le contexte scolaire. Nous nous appuyons sur les concepts théoriques et pratiques de plusieurs auteurs qui se sont intéressés à l’expression verbale dans les petits degrés de la scolarité. Dans la seconde partie nous présentons deux dispositifs didactiques pour apprendre à s’exprimer par oral, créés par Philippe Boisseau : l’album écho et l’oralbum. C’est sur ces dispositifs d’enseignement que nous nous sommes basées pour organiser notre propre recherche. La troisième partie décrit les séquences que nous avons mises en place dans nos classes et qui ont permis de répondre à notre question qui est la suivante : Dans quelle mesure un travail systématique à partir d’un album écho ou d’un oralbum a-t-il une influence sur la parole spontanée des élèves durant les moments collectifs en 1-2P ? Durant deux mois, Audrey a travaillé sur l’album écho et Agnès sur l’oralbum avec les élèves de 2P. Les productions verbales des élèves ont été analysées, puis elles ont été utilisées pour évaluer les progressions syntaxiques et lexicales des enfants. Les activités menées en classe ont permis de rendre compte de l’impact du travail de l’oral en tant qu’objet d’apprentissage sur la prise de parole spontanée des élèves dans des moments collectifs.
Task reweighting under global scheduling on multiprocessors

Year: 2008

description: We consider schemes for enacting task share changes - a process called reweighting - on real-time multiprocessor platforms. Our particular focus is reweighting schemes that are deployed in environments in which tasks may frequently request significant share changes. Prior work has shown that fair scheduling algorithms are capable of reweighting tasks with minimal allocation error and that partitioning-based scheduling algorithms can reweight tasks with better average-case performance, but greater error. However, preemption and migration overheads can be high in fair schemes. In this paper, we consider the question of whether non-fair, earliest-deadline-first (EDF) global scheduling techniques can improve the accuracy of reweighting relative to partitioning-based schemes and provide improved average-case performance relative to fair-scheduled systems. Our conclusion is that, for soft real-time systems, global EDF schemes provide a good mix of accuracy and average-case performance.

description: Notre mémoire porte sur le traitement de l’information, en utilisant le jeu du memory. Premièrement, notre travail aborde l’éducation au développement durable au travers de deux séquences de contextualisation portant sur le cheminement du cacao jusqu’à la plaque de chocolat. Le but de ces séquences est d’avoir un contexte dans lequel intégrer notre recherche. Pour ces dernières, nous nous sommes basées sur une histoire que nous avons inventée pour expliquer le trajet et la transformation d’une fève de cacao jusqu’à devenir du chocolat. Nous avons lu la première partie de l’histoire en travaillant précisément toutes les étapes de ce cheminement. Notre recherche s’intégrant dans une méthode expérimentale, nous avons mis en place, par la suite, des pré-tests où les élèves jouaient au jeu du memory en individuel. Les cartes étaient illustrées par différentes photos reprenant les phases du cheminement du cacao. Nous avons choisi ce jeu, car il fait travailler la mémoire visuelle, très sollicitée lors des tâches scolaires. Lors des pré-tests, nous avons comptabilisé le nombre de retournements que faisaient les élèves pour trouver toutes les paires du jeu. Par la suite, nous avons enseigné une séquence dite d’approfondissement, où nous avons essayé de rendre visibles les étapes du traitement de l’information qui ont lieu dans notre cerveau, cela en insistant sur le sens de la vue et la mémoire de travail ainsi qu’en enseignant des stratégies d’observation et de mémorisation. Tout au long de la séquence d’approfondissement, les élèves ont pu s’entrainer au jeu du memory afin de mettre en pratique ces stratégies. Après cette séquence, nous avons lu la deuxième partie de l’histoire et avons réalisé les post-tests en faisant à nouveau jouer les élèves au jeu du memory avec de nouvelles cartes illustrées par des photos reprenant les étapes du cheminement décrit dans la seconde partie de l’histoire. Au travers de ce mémoire, nous avons cherché à savoir si une séquence d’enseignementapprentissage basée sur les étapes du traitement de l’information pouvait améliorer les capacités de mémorisation des élèves.

description: En tant que futures professionnelles de l'enseignement, nous avons décidé d’orienter notre projet de recherche sur la prise en compte des conceptions initiales des élèves dans la construction d’une séquence d’enseignement. À travers nos lectures, nous avons constaté que les recherches portant sur l’élaboration d’une séquence d’enseignement en prenant en compte des conceptions initiales des élèves sont effectuées principalement pour le cycle 2. C’est pour cela que nous avons souhaité aborder cette question sous un nouvel angle en choisissant un échantillon constitué d'élèves du cycle 1. Les objectifs de ce mémoire sont d'une part, de mesurer les liens qui peuvent exister entre la prise en compte des conceptions initiales des élèves et les apprentissages. Puis, d'autre part, d'observer s'il existe une variation dans ces apprentissages selon la construction de la séquence d'enseignement. Pour terminer, nous avons aussi voulu comprendre si le milieu socio-culturel des élèves influençait la mesure de nos variables. A travers ce travail de recherche, et afin de mener à bien les objectifs cités ci-dessus, nous avons mis en place un dispositif d’enseignement constitué de deux séquences contrastées. L’une d’elle a été préparée en amont et donnée sans être changée auprès des élèves, alors que nous avons régulée la seconde en fonction des interventions des élèves. Nous avons rapidement développé un intérêt pour le sujet de la recherche. En effet, établir un lien entre la prise en compte des conceptions initiales des élèves dans la construction d’une séquence, et les apprentissages des élèves pourrait avoir un impact conséquent sur notre manière d’envisager l’enseignement. En outre, nous partons du principe que c’est à nous, en tant qu’enseignants, de pouvoir donner les clefs du métier d’élève à chacun et de comprendre que tous ne partent pas avec le même bagage. Et ceci dans le but que tous comprennent ce qu’on attend d’eux à l’école et que tous puissent s’épanouir en tant qu’apprenants. Il nous tient à coeur de comprendre le lien entre la planification d’une séquence tenant en compte ou non les conceptions initiales des élèves, et les apprentissages. En effet cette construction fait partie intégrale du métier d’enseignant ; et si c’était par cette action-là que l’enseignant pouvait rendre les apprentissages plus accessibles à tous ?

description: This article reports on the progress of an action
research project designed to embed the Global
Dimension into Secondary Initial Teacher Education
at the Cass School of Education, University of East
London. Conceived in 2007, the project built on
the recognised strengths of our provision – the
‘virtual schools’ initiative and our relations with
our partnership schools, both of which were
recognised by Ofsted in their 2008 and 2010
inspections of the work of the Secondary Initial
Teacher Education at UEL. The project sought to
weave the Global Dimension around the framework
of virtual schools using our strong partnership with
school-based colleagues to support this initiative.
This article reports on the progress the project has
made in its second year informed by an analysis
of school-based partnership staff and trainee
evaluations examining the outcomes of the project
in its first year.

Role of electronic thermal transport in amorphous metal recrystallization: a molecular dynamics study

description: Recrystallization of glasses is important in a wide range of applications including electronics and reactive materials. Molecular dynamics (MD) has been used to provide an atomic picture of this process, but prior work has neglected the thermal transport role of electrons, the dominant thermal carrier in metallic systems. We characterize the role of electronic thermal conductivity on the velocity of recrystallization in Ni using MD coupled to a continuum description of electronic thermal transport via a two-temperature model. Our simulations show that for strong enough coupling between electrons and ions, the increased thermal conductivity removes the heat from the exothermic recrystallization process more efficiently, leading to a lower effective temperature at the recrystallization front and, consequently, lower propagation velocity. We characterize how electron-phonon coupling strength and system size affects front propagation velocity. Interestingly, we find that initial recrystallization velocity increases with decreasing in system size due to higher overall temperatures. Overall, we show that a more accurate description of thermal transport due to the incorporation of electrons results in better agreement with experiments.

description: Editorial introducing the first issue of Research in Teacher Education, which continues Research in Secondary Teacher Education. This name change recognises the periodical’s rapid expansion of its national and international audience since its inception in April 2011. The success of the print and online versions of the publication to date, coupled with significant changes taking place in teacher education, mean that we feel the time has come to draw on the wider expertise on offer from the Cass School of Education and Communities. In future editions we will draw on colleagues from within the primary, secondary and post-compulsory sectors of teacher education and continue to provoke, stimulate and extend discussions related to the training and education of all teachers.
A Multi-signal Variant for the GPU-based Parallelization of Growing Self-Organizing Networks

description: Among the many possible approaches for the parallelization of self-organizing networks, and in particular of growing self-organizing networks, perhaps the most common one is producing an optimized, parallel implementation of the standard sequential algorithms reported in the literature. In this paper we explore an alternative approach, based on a new algorithm variant specifically designed to match the features of the large-scale, fine-grained parallelism of GPUs, in which multiple input signals are processed at once. Comparative tests have been performed, using both parallel and sequential implementations of the new algorithm variant, in particular for a growing self-organizing network that reconstructs surfaces from point clouds. The experimental results show that this approach allows harnessing in a more effective way the intrinsic parallelism that the self-organizing networks algorithms seem intuitively to suggest, obtaining better performances even with networks of smaller size.

description: This article examines research on a case study of student voice brought about through collaboration between a secondary school (for pupils aged 11–16) and a university located in a large conurbation in southern England. While the original focus of this longitudinal study was to look at students as informants/respondents and their journey in becoming student researchers, this article examines the impact on the values of six pupils after their research visit to a school in Finland.

Correction to the detector-dead-time effect on the second-order correlation of stationary sub-Poissonian light in a two-detector configuration

description: Exact measurement of the second-order correlation function $g^{(2)}(t)$ of a light source is essential when investigating the photon statistics and the light generation process of the source. For a stationary single-mode light source, Mandel Q factor is directly related to $g^{(2)}(t)$. For a large mean photon number in the mode, the deviation of $g^{(2)}(t)$ from unity is so small that even a tiny error in measuring $g^{(2)}(t)$ would result in an inaccurate Mandel Q. In this work, we have found that detector dead time can induce a serious error in $g^{(2)}(t)$ and thus in Mandel Q in those cases even in a two-detector configuration. Our finding contradicts the conventional understanding that detector dead time would not affect $g^{(2)}(t)$ in two-detector configurations. Utilizing the cavity-QED microlaser, a well-established sub-Poissonian light source, we measured $g^{(2)}(t)$ with two different types of photodetectors with different dead time. We also introduced prolonged dead time by intentionally deleting the photodetection events following a preceding one within a specified time interval. We found that the observed Q of the cavity-QED microlaser was underestimated by 19% with respect to the dead-time-free Q when its mean photon number was about 600. We derived an analytic formula which well explains the behavior of the $g^{(2)}(t)$ as a function of the dead time.

A hierarchical multiprocessor bandwidth reservation scheme with timing guarantees

description: A multiprocessor scheduling scheme is presented for supporting hierarchical containers that encapsulate sporadic soft and hard real-time tasks. In this scheme, each container is allocated a specified bandwidth, which it uses to schedule its children (some of which may also be containers). This scheme is novel in that, with only soft real-time tasks, no utilization loss is incurred when provisioning containers, even in arbitrarily deep hierarchies. Presented experiments show that the proposed scheme performs well compared to conventional real-time scheduling techniques that do not provide container isolation.
