A Model-Based Scheduling Framework for Enhancing Robustness
(2018)
Scheduling algorithms used for dynamic scheduling of tasks in a distributed system are generally evaluated on their performance, i.e., their degree of achieving a desired outcome or metric. They may also be evaluated on ...
Insulin signaling regulates neurite growth during metamorphic neuronal remodeling
(2014-01-15)
Although the growth capacity of mature neurons is often limited, some neurons can shift through largely unknown mechanisms from stable maintenance growth to dynamic,
organizational growth (e.g. to repair injury, or during ...
Forgiveness and the Need to Belong
(Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, 2010-09-01)
People who experience a strong need to belong might be particularly inclined to forgive wrongdoings to preserve social bonds. Three studies that utilized different methods and measures of forgiveness consistently demonstrated ...
Metabolomic and metagenomic analysis of two crude oil production pipelines experiencing differential rates of corrosion
(2017-01-31)
Corrosion processes in two North Sea oil production pipelines were studied by analyzing pig envelope samples via metagenomic and metabolomic techniques. Both production systems have similar physico-chemical properties and ...
