Simultaneous monitoring of the human brain, spinal cord, and cauda equina activity for movement control: An fNIRS approach by Hojeong Kim

“…However, current monitoring approaches for spinal and caudal activity are limited to use without body movement and to processing via batches of data. Here, we present a novel optical method based on functional near-infrared spectroscopy that enables simultaneous tracking of human brain-spinal cord-cauda equina hemodynamics during body movement. …”

A hot-update-aware optimization to the query of LSM-Tree by Qingyin LIN, Zhiguang CHEN

“…Key-value stores based on LSM-Tree have been widely used.LSM-Tree gains excellent write performance by collecting updated data in memory and then flushing data into storage in batches.However, in LSMTree-based key-value stores, old data generated by update operations will not be eliminated immediately from the storage system, resulting in a large amount of invalid data accumulated in the entire storage system, which will eventually significantly reduce the read performance of key-value stores.For the above problems, an active compaction method was proposed.By recording the history information of updated key-value pairs, recognizing hot-updated keys, finding SSTables that contain a large amount of invalid data in the storage system, and triggering compaction as soon as possible to clear much more invalid data, the proposed method could reduce write amplification and improve the read performance of LSM-Tree based key-value stores.Experiments showed that this method could reduce the average read latency of LevelDB by 65.2%, 99% read tail latency by 69.4%, and write amplification by 71.4%.…”

Simulation of duplicate tooling consumption at aircraft manufacturing enterprises by V. A. Vdovin, O. A. Afanasieva

“…An important difference of the proposed approach to the development of regression models is an increased degree of detail due to the use of the number of detail operations performed using specific TT sizes as independent variables, which makes it possible to eliminate the calculation error associated with the presence of passing positions in the planning period (batches of parts and assembly units ). As a result, a quantitative assessment of the constructed dependencies based on the calculation of multiple correlation coefficients, the Fisher dispersion ratio, the Theil’s coefficient of irrelevance allowed us to conclude that they are adequate to the conditions of consumption TT at the aviation enterprise. …”
