In this paper we describe a two-level scheduling scheme for mixed parallel and sequential workloads on scalable parallel machines. The design of this scheduling system is based on two principles, that is, parallel programs should be scheduled in a coordinated manner so that they will not severely interfere with each other and the performance for parallel computing becomes predictable, and paral...

We develop a theoretical context in which to study the future-sequential regularization method developed by J. V. Beck for the Inverse Heat Conduction Problem. In the process, we generalize Beck's ideas and view that method as one in a large class of regularization methods in which the solution of an ill-posed rst-kind Volterra equation is seen to be the limit of a sequence of solutions of well...

Sequential sampling strategies have been developed for managing complexity when using computationally expensive computer simulations in engineering design. However, much of the literature has focused on objective-oriented sequential sampling methods for deterministic optimization. These methods cannot be directly applied to robust design which must account for uncontrollable variations in certa...

INTRODUCTION HIV/AIDS-related stigma affects the access and utilisation of health services. Although HIV/AIDS-related stigma in the health services has been studied, little work has attended to the relationship between professional development and stigmatising attitudes. Hence, in this study, we will extend earlier research by examining the relationship between the stage of professional develop...

   One of the several promising new technologies for computing at nano-scale is quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA). In this paper, new designs for different QCA sequential circuits are presented. Using an efficient QCA D flip-flop (DFF) architecture, a 5-bit counter, a novel single edge generator (SEG) and a divide-by-2 counter are implemented. Also, some types of oscillators, a new edge-t...

Engagement of persons living with dementia in public consultations is central to the development dementia-friendly communities (DFC). However, due a lack resources and expertise how support their involvement, are not always involved processes for planning implementation DFC initiatives. To better understand methods that facilitate engagement consultations, we evaluated consultation Canadian ini...

Researchers’ reliance on using mixed methods for in-depth understanding of a phenomenon is rise. This review provides synthesis studies Mixed Methods Research (MMR) approach in the field instructional design, with particular focus research questions. The results show that 752 articles published MMR design field, only 80 framed questions were consistent practice MMR. Of those studies, findings r...
