Few scheduling, models focus on service-level agreement (SLA) enforcement, which limits their real-time applicability. Thus, this research work proposes the design of an improved task-side service level (TS2L) agreement model...
Growing demand of computational power brings increasing scale and complexity of cloud datacenters. However, such increase also generates growing energy consumption and related cost incurred for cooling and maintenance. With...
Torres Cacoullos and Travis's ‘Bilingualism in the Community: Code-switching and Grammars in Contact’ is a comprehensive study of language contact in New Mexico – a well-established bilingual community in the Southwest of the...
Group A Streptococcus (GAS; Streptococcus pyogenes) is a bacterial pathogen for which a commercial vaccine for humans is not available. Employing the advantages of high-throughput DNA sequencing technology to vaccine design, we...
When prospect theory (PT) is applied in a dynamic context, the probability weighting component brings new challenges. We study PT agents facing optimal timing decisions and consider the impact of allowing them to follow...
The recent development of 3D printing techniques enables novel applications in customized food fabrication. Based on a tailor-made 3D food printer, we present a novel personalized food printing framework driven by portrait...

Researchers have found that student engagement has an impact on student learning, retention, motivation, and persistence in higher education. However, faculty often experience challenges in maintaining high levels of student...
AbstractSoil liquefaction can cause excessive damage to structures as witnessed in many recent earthquakes. The damage to small/medium-sized buildings can lead to excessive death toll and...
The increasing frequency of monkeypox virus infections, new outbreaks of other zoonotic orthopoxviruses and concern about the re-emergence of smallpox have prompted research into developing antiviral drugs and better vaccines...
