The switch fabrics of these architectures commonly use an iterative scheduling system such as iSLIP. Iterative schedulers are not very scalable and can be slow. We propose a new scheduling algorithm that finds a maximum matching of a modified I/O mapping graph in a single iteration (hence noniterative). Analytically and experimentally, we show that it provides full throughput and incurs very low delay;it is fair and of low complexity;and it outperforms traditional iterative schedulers. We also propose two switch architectures suited for this scheduling scheme and analyze their hardware implementations. The arbiter circuit is simple, implementing only a FIFO queue. Only half as many arbiters for an iterative scheme are needed. The arbiters operate in complete parallel. They work for both architectures and make the hardware implementations sim-ple. The first architecture uses conventional queuing structure and crossbar. The second one uses separate memories for each queue at an input port and a special crossbar. This crossbar is simple and also has a re-duced diameter and distributed structure. We also show that the architectures have good scalability and re-quire almost no speedup.展开更多

In DTRR, a new matched input and output by round robin in a cell time will be locked by two self-adaptive thresholds whenever the queue length or the wait-time of the head cell in the corresponding Virtual Output Queue (VOQ) exceeds the thresholds. The locked input and output will be matched directly in the succeeding cell time until they are unlocked. By employing queue length and wait-time thresholds which are updated every cell time simultane- ously, DTRR achieves a good tradeoff between the performance and hardware complexity. Simula- tion results indicate that the delay performance of DTRR is competitive compared to other typical scheduling algorithms under various traffic patterns especially under diagonal traffic.展开更多

However, its potential role in hypertension and vascular function remains unclear. Methods : In vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMCs), we employed gain-and loss-offunction approaches combined with RNA sequencing, autophagy flux assessment, and phenotype characterization. Additionally, we established a mouse model with Sox6 overexpression via adeno-associated virus 2(AAV2) to validate the findings in vivo. Results : We validated the increased expression of SOX6 in hypertension both in vitro and in vivo. Genetic silencing of Sox6 in VSMCs attenuated the phenotypic switching induced by angiotensin Ⅱ. Conversely, in vivo overexpression of Sox6 led to a significant elevation in blood pressure and promoted vascular remodeling. Mechanistically, SOX6 was shown to regulate phenotypic switching via an autophagydependent pathway. Specifically, Sox6 overexpression augmented VSMC autophagy and facilitated phenotypic switching, whereas Sox6 knockdown yielded opposite outcomes. Modulation of autophagy using 3-MA or RAPA could effectively counteract the effect mediated by SOX6. Conclusions : Our findings revealed that SOX6 regulates VSMC plasticity and elevates blood pressure by activating autophagy. Therefore, SOX6 inhibition potentially represents a novel strategy for treating hypertension and vascular remodeling.展开更多

文摘This paper presents an entire fixed-time disturbance observer-based global terminal switching sliding mode control of robot manipulators,which has inner and external uncertainties.The entire fixed-time disturbance observer-based global terminal switching sliding mode control has the global finite-time reaching characteristic,the property that system convergence time can be prescribed,and the global robustness to uncertainties,with the entire fixed-time disturbance observer that accurately estimates uncertainties after a fixed time,despite the initial state.The joints of the control system can arrive at the prescribed joint angular position at the predefined joint angular speed at the prescribed time.

文摘The thermal switch plays a crucial role in regulating system temperature,protecting devices from overheating,and improving energy efficiency.Achieving a high thermal switching ratio is essential for its practical application.In this study,by utilizing first-principles calculations and semi-classical Boltzmann transport theory,it is found that hole doping with an experimentally achievable concentration of 1.83×10^(14)cm^(-2)can reduce the lattice thermal conductivity of monolayer MoS_(2) from 151.79 W·m^(-1)·K^(-1)to 12.19 W·m^(-1)·K^(-1),achieving a high thermal switching ratio of 12.5.The achieved switching ratio significantly surpasses previously reported values,including those achieved by extreme strain methods.This phenomenon mainly arises from the enhanced lattice anharmonicity,which is primarily contributed by the S atoms.These results indicate that hole doping is an effective method for tuning the lattice thermal conductivity of materials,and demonstrate that monolayer MoS_(2) is a potential candidate material for thermal switches.
