LAQy: Efficient and Reusable Query Approximations via Lazy Sampling

Anastasia Ailamaki, Viktor Sanca, Periklis Chrysogelos

Modern analytical engines rely on Approximate Query Processing (AQP) to provide faster response times than the hardware allows for exact query answering. However, existing AQP methods impose steep performance penalties as workload unpredictability increase ...

Effects of Degrees of Freedom on Calculating Diffusion Properties in Nanoporous Materials br

Berend Smit, Henglu Xu, Raffaela Cabriolu

If one carries out a molecular simulation ofNparticlesusing periodic boundary conditions, linear momentum is conserved,and hence, the number of degrees of freedom is set to 3N-3. Inmost programs, this number of degrees of freedom is the defaultsetting. How ...

Sampling-Based AQP in Modern Analytical Engines

Anastasia Ailamaki, Viktor Sanca

As the data volume grows, reducing the query execution times remains an elusive goal. While approximate query processing (AQP) techniques present a principled method to trade off accuracy for faster queries in analytics, the sample creation is often consid ...

Efficient Analytical Query Processing on CPU-GPU Hardware Platforms

Periklis Chrysogelos

Timely insights lead to business growth and scientific breakthroughs but require analytical engines that cope with the ever-increasing data processing needs. Analytical engines relied on rapid CPU improvements, yet the end of Dennard scaling stopped the fr ...

CoreNEURON : An Optimized Compute Engine for the NEURON Simulator

Felix Schürmann, James Gonzalo King, Pramod Shivaji Kumbhar, Fabien Jonathan Delalondre, Aleksandr Ovcharenko, Jérémy Pierre Benoit Fouriaux

The NEURON simulator has been developed over the past three decades and is widely used by neuroscientists to model the electrical activity of neuronal networks. Large network simulation projects using NEURON have supercomputer allocations that individually ...

International portfolios: A comparison of solution methods

Serhiy Stepanchuk

We compare the performance of the perturbation-based (local) portfolio solution method of Devereux & Sutherland (2010a, 2011) with a global solution method. As a test suite we use model specifications that broadly capture features of international financia ...

Distributed sensing employing stimulated Brillouin scattering in optical fibers

Luc Thévenaz

Disclosed are methods and devices for distributed sensing of a measurable parameter employing stimulated Brillouin scattering in an optical fiber. A frequency-modulated or phase-modulated light wave is transmitted into the optical fiber. A scattered light ...

Analysing Friedel averages and differences

Philip Pattison

Various practical applications of the average (A) and difference (D) of Friedel opposites are described. Techniques based on the resonant-scattering contribution to Friedel differences are applied to see whether a crystal is centrosymmetric or not, and to ...

Is the US outperforming Europe in university technology licensing? A new perspective on the European Paradox

Patrick Gaulé, Annamaria Conti

Europe is perceived to be lagging behind the US in converting its academic results into economic outcomes. Using new survey data on European and US technology transfer offices (TTOs), we find that differences in academic research, TTO staff and experience ...

Electromechanical Coupling In Cardiac Dynamics: The Active Strain Approach

Alfio Quarteroni, Fabio Nobile

The coupling between cardiac mechanics and electric signaling is addressed in a nonstandard framework in which the electrical potential dictates the active strain (not stress) of the muscle. The physiological and mathematical motivations leading us to this ...

Lattice dynamics and dielectric response of undoped, soft and hard PbZr0.42Ti0.58O3

Dragan Damjanovic, Li Jin

In this study, ceramic samples of lead zirconate titanate Pb(Zr0.42Ti0.58)O3 (PZT 42/58) doped with Fe (hard) and Nb (soft) were studied by Raman, infrared (IR) and THz spectroscopy in the temperature range from 900 to 20 K. From the evaluation of the IR a ...

Characterization of mouse Dactylaplasia mutations: a model for human ectrodactyly SHFM3

Denis Duboule, Marc Samuel Friedli

SHFM3 is a limb malformation characterized by the absence of central digits. It has been shown that this condition is associated with tandem duplications of about 500 kb at 10q24. The Dactylaplasia mice display equivalent limb defects and the two correspon ...

Modal Response of Hydraulic Turbine Runners

François Avellan

The mechanical design of hydraulic turbines is conditioned by the dynamic response of the runner that is usually estimated by a computational model. Nevertheless, the runner has complex boundary conditions that are difficult to include in the computational ...
