Typical management strategies proven to work in already established businesses do not work as expected in startups. Startups do not yet have a business model and product that they could focus on, but are still looking for a working business model. Lean Startup is a method for startup management that focuses on quick iteration and on fast learning to find an iterable business model. As a method,...

Due to their higher efficiency of energy utilisation heat-integrated column systems have been widely used in chemical industry. However, the heat-integration leads to difficulties in startup of such columns, i.e. a long startup time and thus considerable costs will be resulted. In this work, a study consisting of modelling, simulation, optimisation and experimental verification is made for deve...

This paper presents a realization for the reliable and fast startup of distributed systems written in Erlang. The traditional startup provided by the Erlang/OTP library is sequential, parallelization usually requires unsafe and ad-hoc solutions. The proposed method calls only for slight modifications in the Erlang/OTP stdlib by applying a system dependency graph. It makes the startup safe, quic...

Application startup latency has become a performance problem for both desktop applications and web applications. In this paper, we show that much of the latency experienced during application startup can be avoided by more e ciently packing application code pages. To take advantage of more e cient packing, we describe the implementation of demand paging for web applications. Finally, we show th...

Measurement shows that 85% of TCP flows in the internet are short-lived flows that stay most of their operation in the TCP startup phase. However, many previous studies indicate that the traditional TCP Slow Start algorithm does not perform well, especially in long fat networks. Two obvious problems are known to impact the Slow Start performance, which are the blind initial setting of the Slow ...

in this paper, startup performance of upflow anaerobic hybrid reactor and upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactors in anaerobic treatment of distillery spentwash has been studied under identical conditions of operation. various effluent characteristics like ph, electrical conductivity, chemical oxygen demand, biochemical oxygen demand and total solids and other process parameters like biogas pr...
