Dalton: Learned Partitioning for Distributed Data Streams

Anastasia Ailamaki, Eleni Zapridou, Ioannis Mytilinis

To sustain the input rate of high-throughput streams, modern stream processing systems rely on parallel execution. However, skewed data yield imbalanced load assignments and create stragglers that hinder scalability. Deciding on a static partitioning for a ...

Aqueous-phase reactive species formed by fine particulate matter from remote forests and polluted urban air

Andrea Mario Arangio, Ting Zhang, Jing Li

In the aqueous phase, fine particulate matter can form reactive species (RS) that influence the aging, properties, and health effects of atmospheric aerosols. In this study, we explore the RS yields of aerosol samples from a remote forest (Hyytiala, Finlan ...

Effect of fuel isotope mass on q-profile formation in JET hybrid plasmas

Matteo Fontana

The initial current ramp phase of JET hybrid plasmas is used to optimise the target q-profile for main heating to allow access to high beta and avoid MHD instabilities. Mixed protium-deuterium experiments, carried out at JET since the installation of the b ...

Correlation between site occupancies and spin-glass transition in skyrmion host Co10-x/2Zn10-x/2Mnx

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Jonathan White

Ternary alloys Co-Zn-Mn with beta-Mn-type structure exhibit helimagnetic order and skyrmion lattice states in a low-Mn-concentration region. Recent studies on Co10-x/2Zn10-x/2Mnx (CZM) revealed that the magnetic modulation period and the paramagnetic-to-he ...

Galactic rotation curves versus ultralight dark matter: Implications of the soliton-host halo relation

Sergey Sibiryakov, Diego Blas Temino

Bosonic ultralight dark matter (ULDM) would form cored density distributions at the center of galaxies. These cores, seen in numerical simulations, admit analytic description as the lowest energy bound state solution ("soliton") of the Schroedinger-Poisson ...

Development and integration of high straightness flexure guiding mechanisms dedicated to the METAS watt balance Mark II

Reymond Clavel, Florent Cosandier

There is a firm will in the metrology community to redefine the kilogram in the International System of units by linking it to a fundamental physical constant. The watt balance is a promising way to link the mass unit to the Planck constant h. At the Feder ...

The Influence of the Ammonolysis Temperature on the Photocatalytic Activity of beta-TaON

Michael Graetzel, Takashi Hisatomi

Phase-pure tantalum oxynitride (beta-TaON) powders were synthesized by thermal ammonolysis of Ta2O5 powders. X-ray diffraction revealed an enlargement of the unit cell and an increase of the crystallite size with increasing ammonolysis temperature. Scannin ...

Design of the new METAS watt balance experiment Mark II

Reymond Clavel, Florent Cosandier

The kilogram is the last unit of the international system of units (SI) still based on a material artefact, the international prototype of the kilogram (IPK). The comparisons made in the last hundred years have clearly revealed a long-term relative drift b ...
