We address the design of practical scheduling policies for scalable, shared memory multiprocessors. In particular, we propose and evaluate experimentally processor allocation policies that use information about parallel job execution characteristics in making their decisions. In contrast to existing processor allocation work, which for the most part has relied on perfect information supplied be...

conclusions the results indicated that dt increased anti-ops antibodies against the ops-dt compound. the antibody response to ops-dt was greater than that to ops alone. we conclude that ops-dt is an appropriate and acceptable vaccine candidate against salmonellosis. results two weeks after the first vaccination dose, there was no significant difference in the antibody titers of the ops and ops-...

A method is presented for predicting the total response, in both frequency and time, of an unknown linear system when only the measured continuous wave (cw) magnitude is available. The approach is based on approximating the square of the measured magnitude by a rational function, from which various system transfer functions in terms of complex frequency are deduced. These transfer functions may...

The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) is a NASA satellite project initiated to address a gap in our ability to accurately observe detailed rainfall patterns over the tropical continents and oceans. To support TRMM, several field campaigns were conducted. The TRMM-LBA (Large-scale Biosphere Atmosphere) experiment was conducted over the southwestern region of the Amazon (state of Rondôni...
