A communication model of broadcast in wormhole-routed networks on-chip

This paper presents a novel analytical model to compute communication latency of broadcast as the most fundamental collective communication operation. The novelty of the model lies in its ability to predict the broadcast communication latency in wormhole-routed architectures employing asynchronous multi-port routers scheme. The model is applied to the Quarc NoC and its validity is verified by comparing the model predictions against the results obtained from a discrete-event simulator developed using OMNET++

Parents Accidentally Substitute Similar Sounding Sibling Names More Often then Dissimilar Names

Zenzi M. Griffin, Department of Psychology, University of Texas at Austin, Austin, Texas, United States of AmericaZenzi M. Griffin, Thomas Wangerman, School of Psychology, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia, United States of AmericaWhen parents select similar sounding names for their children, do they set themselves up for more speech errors in the future? Questionnaire data from 334 respondents suggest that they do. Respondents whose names shared initial or final sounds with a sibling’s reported that their parents accidentally called them by the sibling’s name more often than those without such name overlap. Having a sibling of the same gender, similar appearance, or similar age was also associated with more frequent name substitutions. Almost all other name substitutions by parents involved other family members and over 5% of respondents reported a parent substituting the name of a pet, which suggests a strong role for social and situational cues in retrieving personal names for direct address. To the extent that retrieval cues are shared with other people or animals, other names become available and may substitute for the intended name, particularly when names sound similar.This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 0318456.

Energy harvesting from wind-induced vibration of suspension bridges

Thesis (M. Eng.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2013.Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (pages 73-75).Recently, an extensive amount of research has been focused on energy harvesting from structural vibration sources for wireless self-powered microsystem applications. One method of energy harvesting is using electromagnetic mechanism to transfer mechanical energy into electrical energy. This has been studied in depth at the micro-level scale. In this thesis, using the same methodology that was developed for the micro-level scale, this technique is expanded for larger scale applications. A linear resonant device of the size 40mm in diameter, weight of 2 kg is proposed to be installed on a suspension bridge deck to harvest energy and to control the motion of the bridge deck. The feasibility of the installation of the device is studied with respect to the amount of energy that could be harvested. The commercial software SAP2000 was used to carry out the analysis of the structural response of the suspension bridge to wind loading. Furthermore, the potential amount of energy that can be harvested is calculated.
