Cloud computing is the latest technology that involves distributed computation over the Internet. It meets the needs of users through sharing resources and using virtual technology. The workflow user applications refer to a set of tasks to be processed within the cloud environment. Scheduling algorithms have a lot to do with the efficiency of cloud computing environments through selection of su...

weather predicts are influence in all aspects of life everyday. more importantly weather warnings are important forecasts because they are used to protect life and property. mesoscale numerical weather prediction models are key for weather forecasting, however the accuracy of the predictions are affected by the errors in the numerical models.study of the clouds is challenging and there are many...

. introduction not only have clouds and precipitation (snow, rain and hail) made up an important part of the subsystem atmospheric phenomena of terrestrial climate, but are also considered as the main components of the water cycle. aerosols play an important role in cloudiness and precipitation. in warm clouds with the same liquid water path, increase in aerosols concentration results in the re...

This paper presents the Turk Bootstrap Word Sense Inventory (TWSI) 2.0. This lexical resource, created by a crowdsourcing process using Amazon Mechanical Turk (http://www.mturk.com), encompasses a sense inventory for lexical substitution for 1,012 highly frequent English common nouns. Along with each sense, a large number of sense-annotated occurrences in context are given, as well as a weighte...

Word Sense Induction (WSI) is the task of identifying the different senses (uses) of a target word in a given text. This paper focuses on the unsupervised estimation of the free parameters of a graph-based WSI method, and explores the use of eight Graph Connectivity Measures (GCM) that assess the degree of connectivity in a graph. Given a target word and a set of parameters, GCM evaluate the co...

Traditionally, risk assessment consists of evaluating the probability of "feared events", corresponding to known threats and attacks, as well as these events' severity, corresponding to their impact on one or more stakeholders. Assessing risks of cloud-based processes is particularly difficult due to lack of historical data on attacks, which has prevented frequency-based identification...

With the innovation of cloud computing industry lots of services were provided based on different deployment criteria. Nowadays everyone tries to remain connected and demand maximum utilization of resources with minimum timeand effort. Thus, making it an important challenge in cloud computing for optimum utilization of resources. To overcome this issue, many techniques have been proposed ...

Nowadays, the great benefits of cloud computing have dramatically increased the number of e-banking users. Hence, the competition in the banking industry has boosted and managers need to evaluate their branches on a regular basis. To this end, this study aims to evaluate cloud-based banking systems based on the Quality of Service (QoS) attributes using the Dynamic Network Data Envelopment Analy...

a new method for the determination of trace copper(ii) in food samples by cloud point extraction(cpe) combined with flame atomic absorption spectrometry(faas) is presented and evaluated. the method is based on the fact that hydrophobic complex of copper(ii) with sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (ddtc) was formed at ph 6.0 and subsequently the hydrophobic complex was extracted into surfactant-rich ...

Cloud computing has become increasingly popular because it offers users the illusion of having infinite computing resources, of which they can use as much as they need, without having to worry about how those resources are provided. It also provides greater scalability, availability, and reliability than users could achieve with their own resources. Unfortunately, adopting cloud computing has r...
