Trees are one of the most important elements of natural landscapes. Therefore, in computer graphics, there is a great demand for methods to realize the natural representation of trees in virtual landscapes in various fields such as entertainment industry or environmental assessment in construction. Many studies have been made on techniques in which the shapes of trees are modeled but only a few studies have been reported on methods to incorporate the shapes with motions in a wind field. Most of these studies use physical simulation techniques based on the equations of motion to generate the branch motions and cannot realize the motions of individual leaves. In this paper, we propose a method to create the natural motions of individual leaves and branches swaying in a wind field. This method generates the leaf and branch motions based on "1/f(beta) noise", which is observed in various natural phenomena. For the branch motion, a simple simulation method based on the spring model is applied to enhance the realism of the motion. This method enables the real-time creation of the leaf and branch motions. Diverse motions according to tree species and shapes and wind conditions can be easily realized by controlling the parameters.

Pumping is often cited as a general application which motivates the development of microfabricated motors and other actuators. In that spirit, this paper studies microfabricated electrohydrodynamic fluid pumps. In electrohydrodynamic (EHD) pumping, fluid forces are generated by the interaction of electric fields and charges in the fluid. In contrast to forces generated by mechanical pumping using an impeller or bellows, EHD pumping requires no moving parts and consequently offers the possibility of simplified fabrication and high reliability. This paper discusses electrohydrodynamic pumping and issues concerning its use in micronsize scale systems. The fundamental operating principles of the EHD pump are outlined and examples of configurations which meet the requirement for inducing free electric charge are shown. The possible performance achievable in micron size-scale regimes is indicated. Issues concerning fluid conductivity, instability and surface tension are addressed. A microfabricated structure which demonstrates the EHD pumping of a highly insulating silicone oil is described. The structure consists of an array of 10 μm by 235 μm highly doped, LPCVD polycrystalline silicon electrodes patterned over silicon nitride. The electrode array is excited with a traveling wave of electric potential. Pumping results are qualitatively described. This paper describes a study of electrohydrodynamic pumping, including issues concerning its application to micron size-scale systems. The fundamental operating principles of EHD pumps are outlined and the possible performance achievable in micron size-scale regimes is indicated. Surface and bulk instabilities are addressed. Finally, the preliminary results of an EHD pumping experiment with a microfabricated structure are described. A practical requirement for EHD pumping is the induction of free electric charge in the volume of the fluid to be pumped or on its interface with another material. Charge accumulation on a material

With the growing popularity of Internet applications and the widespread use of mobile Internet, Internet traffic has maintained rapid growth over the past two decades. Internet Traffic Archival Systems(ITAS) for packets or flow records have become more and more widely used in network monitoring, network troubleshooting, and user behavior and experience analysis. Among the three key technologies in ITAS, we focus on bitmap index compression algorithm and give a detailed survey in this paper. The current state-of-the-art bitmap index encoding schemes include: BBC, WAH, PLWAH, EWAH, PWAH, CONCISE, COMPAX, VLC, DF-WAH, and VAL-WAH. Based on differences in segmentation, chunking, merge compress, and Near Identical(NI) features, we provide a thorough categorization of the state-of-the-art bitmap index compression algorithms. We also propose some new bitmap index encoding algorithms, such as SECOMPAX, ICX, MASC, and PLWAH+, and present the state diagrams for their encoding algorithms. We then evaluate their CPU and GPU implementations with a real Internet trace from CAIDA. Finally, we summarize and discuss the future direction of bitmap index compression algorithms. Beyond the application in network security and network forensic, bitmap index compression with faster bitwise-logical operations and reduced search space is widely used in analysis in genome data, geographical information system, graph databases, image retrieval, Internet of things, etc. It is expected that bitmap index compression will thrive and be prosperous again in Big Data era since 1980s.
