The reliable transport of RDMA is designed based on a lossless underlying network and cannot endure a high packet loss rate. However, except for switch buffer overflow, there is another kind of packet loss in the RDMA network, i.e., packet corruption, which has not been discussed in depth. The packet corruption incurs long application tail latency by causing timeout retransmissions. The challenges to solving packet corruption in the RDMA network include: 1) packet corruption is inevitable with any remedial mechanisms and 2) RDMA hardware is not programmable. This paper proposes some designs which can guarantee the expected tail latency of applications with the existence of packet corruption. The key idea is controlling the occurring probabilities of timeout events caused by packet corruption through transforming timeout retransmissions into out-of-order retransmissions. We build a probabilistic model to estimate the occurrence probabilities and real effects of the corruption patterns. We implement these two mechanisms with the help of programmable switches and the zero-byte message RDMA feature. We build an ns-3 simulation and implement optimization mechanisms on our testbed. The simulation and testbed experiments show that the optimizations can decrease the flow completion time by several orders of magnitudes with less than 3% bandwidth cost at different packet corruption rates.展开更多

Given a GRN, it is important to anticipate whether the network could generate oscillation with proper parameters, and what the key ingredients for the oscillation are. In this paper the ranges of some function-related parameters which are favorable to sustained oscillations are considered. In particular, some oscillatory motifs appearing with high-frequency in most of the oscillatory GRNs are observed. Moreover, there are some anti-oscillatory motifs which have a strong oscillation repressing effect. Some conclusions analyzing these motif effects and constructing oscillatory GRNs are provided.展开更多

These relationships were developed from molecular descriptors calculated using the DFT quantum chemistry method using the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level of theory and molecular lipophilicity. Thus, the four descriptors which are the dipole moment μ<sub>D</sub>, the energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital E<sub>HOMO</sub>, the isotropic polarizability α and the ACD/logP lipophilicity were selected for this purpose. The Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models are respectively accredited with the following statistical indicators: R<sup>2</sup>=91.28%, R<sup>2</sup><sub>aj</sub>=89.11%, RMCE = 0.2831, R<sup>2</sup><sub>ext</sub>=86.50% and R<sup>2</sup>=98.22%, R<sup>2</sup><sub>aj</sub>=97.75%, RMCE = 0.1131, R<sup>2</sup><sub>ext</sub>=98.54%. The results obtained with the artificial neural network are better than those of the multiple linear regression. However, these results show that the two models developed have very good predictive performance of anti-inflammatory activity. These two models can therefore be used to predict anti-inflammatory activity of new similar pyrimidine derivatives.展开更多
