In a perspective on Habiyambere and colleagues, Peter Kilmarx and Raiva Simbi discuss the disconnect between HIV testing instrument capacity and utilization.

We consider a dynamically reconfigureable network where dynamically changing traffic is offered. Rearrangement and adjustment of network capacity can be performed to maintain Quality of Service (QoS) requirements for different traffic classes in the dynamic traffic environment. In this work, we consider the case of a single, dynamic traffic class scenario in a loss mode environment. We have dev...

natural resources are valuable capitals for all nations. rangelands as the most extensive natural ecosystems in iran provide numerous services, including fodder production and red meat supply, soil conservation and water regulation. although uncontrolled exploitation of these resources has imposed much pressure and caused many losses within the ecosystems. impacts of overutilization of nomadic ...

The assembly of cars is a production process, whose regulation must respond to the disturbances and fluctuations that often arise in such processes. Assembly is carried out at stations connected in series, where specialized teams of workers are employed. Depending on the model variant, each model that passes an assembly area creates a different workload. The order of transport of models into th...

Assignment problem in content distribution networks (CDN) is unsplittable hard-capacitated facility location problem (UHCFLP) because of underlying anycast routing protocol. We extend assignment problem in CDN to multidimensional facility location problem (MFLP). With our devised algorithm, assignment cost considers CPU utilization parameter along with request size and distance between client a...

The earliest-pseudo-deadline-first (EPDF) algorithm is less expensive than other known Pfair algorithms, but is not optimal for scheduling recurrent real-time tasks on more than two processors. Prior work established sufficient per-task weight (i.e., utilization) restrictions that ensure that tasks either do not miss their deadlines or have bounded tardiness when scheduled under EPDF. Implicit ...

background and objectives: bacteria, most prevalently the pseudomonas species possess high capacity to utilize and de- grade petroleum hydrocarbons and are classified as the hydrocarbonoclastic microorganisms. many species of the genus pseudomonas are notorious for their aerobic degradation capacity, extracellular enzyme production and are metabolically versatile organisms capable of utilizing ...

We consider a dynamically recon gureable network where dynamically changing tra c is o ered. Rearrangement and adjustment of network capacity can be performed to maintain Quality of Service (QoS) requirements for di erent tra c classes in the dynamic tra c environment. In this work, we consider the case of a single, dynamic tra c class scenario in a loss mode environment. We have developed a nu...
