Memory-intensive applications, such as in-memory databases, caching systems, and key-value stores, are increasingly demanding larger main memory to fit their working sets. Conventional swapping can enlarge the capacity by paging out inactive pages backend stores. However, existing solutions suffer several performance compatibility issues, making them unsuitable for high-concurrency memoryintens...

In this paper, a new chaos-based partial image encryption scheme based on Substitution-boxes (S-box) constructed by chaotic system and Linear Fractional Transform (LFT) is proposed. It encrypts only the requisite parts of the sensitive information in Lifting-Wavelet Transform (LWT) frequency domain based on hybrid of chaotic maps and a new S-box. In the proposed encryption scheme, the character...

Forecast of tree fruit yield requires prediction harvest time size as well number. Mango (Mangifera indica L.) mass can be estimated from correlation to measurements length (L), width (W) and thickness (T). On-tree individually tagged were undertaken using callipers at weekly intervals until the past commercial maturity, judged growing degree days (GDD), for mango cultivars ‘Honey Gold’, ‘Calyp...

Abstract Regional Climate Models (RCMs) are the primary climate information available to public stakeholders and city-planners support local adaptation policies. However, with resolution in order of ten kilometres, RCMs do not explicitly represent cities their influence on (e.g. Urban Heat Island; UHI). Downscaling methods required bridge gap between city scale. A statistical–dynamical downscal...

Global Climate Models (GCMs) generally exhibit significant biases in the representation of large-scale atmospheric circulation. Even after a sensible bias adjustment these errors remain and are inherited to some extent by derived downscaling products, impairing credibility future regional projections. In this study we perform process-based evaluation state-of-the-art GCMs from CMIP5 CMIP6, with...
