The essence of Grid Computing is to provide efficient Resource on Demand (RoD). This paper addresses this challenge from the perspective of network, the living platform of Grid, by providing effective Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms (both IntServ and DiffServ) inside the Grid networking environment. Particularly, the efficiency of this QoS mechanism is maximized by policy-based management t...

In mechanical engineering, the finite element method is well-known in simulation of homogeneous materials without microstructures. But, particular, microstructures can improve with respect to their applicability engineering. Examples are 2D- and 3D-fiber-reinforced materials, which manufactured microscale or mesoscale, respectively. An efficient these provides an anisotropic continuum formulati...

This paper carried out an analysis and evaluation research of engineering job demand based on big data technology. By collecting the semistructured or unstructured recruitment information positions website, text mining technology is used to mine knowledge model hidden in market by building a relatively perfect Dictionary professional skills positions. Based large sample data, comprehensive, mul...

The hemipteran (Insecta) diversity in the upper part of the Kerian River Basin was low with only 8 families and 16 genera recorded at 4 study sites from 3 rivers. Water bug composition varied among sampling sites (Kruskal-Wallis χ (2) = 0.00, p<0.05) but was not affected by wet-dry seasons (Z = 0.00, p>0.05). All recorded water parameters were weakly associated with generic abundance but the bi...

In this study, the ecological parameters of the effluent obtained from dyeing of scoured and mercerised organic cotton single jersey fabrics with textile reactive dyes adopting exhaust dyeing method was investigated. The dyes used include regular (Navacron H and FN) reactive dyes and low impact (Remazol and Levafix) reactive dyes along with inorganic salt (sodium sulphate) and biosalt (trisodiu...

Biogas yield of mixtures of cattle slurry and cheese whey, rates of production of methane, removal efficiencies of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biological oxygen demand (BOD) from the mixtures were investigated at 35°C. Four feed regimens (by volume) were studied. Stable biogas production of 621 l/kg Volatile Solids at an Hydraulic Retention Time of 42 days in a mixture containing 50% slurr...

There is an ever-growing demand for transplantable organs to replace acute and chronically damaged tissues. This demand cannot be met by the currently available donor organs. Efforts to provide an alternative source have led to the development of organ engineering, a discipline that combines cell biology, tissue engineering, and cell/organ transplantation. Over the last several years, engineere...

Abstract Life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA) is a decision-making tool particularly useful for the design of bridges as it predicts lifetime expenses and supports inspections management maintenance activities. LCCA allows to consider uncertainties on loads, resistances, degradation numerical modelling structural response analysis. It also permits different limit states types damage in unified frame...

There exists disagreement on how Demand Response (DR) programs should be designed. This is likely because people from different fields view DR differently. For example, some see DR as a mechanism to improve electricity markets while others see it as a new control variable that can enhance power system reliability and security. In this paper, we review the many options for harnessing residential...

In the present work, the Rayleigh-Taylor instability of two rotating superposed magnetized fluids within the presence of a vertical or a horizontal magnetic flux has been investigated. The nonlinear theory is applied, by solving the equation of motion and uses the acceptable nonlinear boundary conditions. However, the nonlinear characteristic equation within the elevation parameter is obtained....
