We show that, within the framework of a simple local nuclear energy density functional (EDF), one can describe accurately the one- and two-nucleon separation energies of semimagic nuclei. While for the normal part of the EDF we use previously suggested parametrizations, for the superfluid part of the EDF we use the simplest possible local form compatible with known nuclear symmetries.

This paper compares the performance of several variations on EDF-based global and partitioned multiprocessor scheduling algorithms, together with their associated feasibility tests, on a variety of pseudo-randomly chosen sets of sporadic tasks. A new hybrid EDF-based scheme is shown to perform better than previously studied priority-based global scheduling schemes, though not as well as EDF-bas...

Multiprocessor scheduling in real time systems follows global queue and partitioned queue methods. Partitioned queue scheduling technique organised with dedicated queues and tasks are scheduled to corresponding processor, based on Earliest Deadline First (EDF) algorithm. EDF is an optimal technique to schedule aperiodic, periodic and sporadic tasks in Real Time Systems (RTS). Deadline of the ta...

Histidine kinases (HKs) are among the most prominent sensing proteins studied in the kingdom Fungi. Their distribution and biological functions in early diverging fungi (EDF), however, remain elusive. We have taken advantage of recent genomic resources to elucidate whether relationships between the occurrence of specific HKs in some EDF and their respective habitat/lifestyle could be establishe...

Configuration mixing within the energy density functional formalism: pathologies and cures. Received (received date) Revised (revised date) Configuration mixing calculations performed in terms of the Skyrme/Gogny Energy Density Functional (EDF) rely on extending the Single-Reference energy functional into non-diagonal EDF kernels. The standard way to do so, based on an analogy with the pure Ham...

Among packet-scheduling disciplines for providing end-toend Quality-of-Service (QoS) guarantees to different applications, including real-time services, two classes of algorithms have received particular attention: those based on Generalized Processor Sharing (GPS) and those based on Earliest Deadline First (EDF). One reason for the popularity of GPS-based schemes is that their powerful propert...

A novel structure that converts wasted backward amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) to seed photons for the amplifier stage is suggested for a high-power erbium-doped fiber (EDF) broadband source. A considerable increase in output power and bandwidth extension was achieved by placement of a segment of passive EDF in front of the amplifier stage, thus recycling backward ASE as the secondary pum...

Activin A/erythroid differentiation factor (EDF) is a human protein that induces differentiation of a murine erythroleukemia cell (the Friend cell). In this study, we demonstrate that endogenous activin A/EDF activity is present in murine bone marrow and spleen. In addition, this activity is secreted by bone marrow and spleen cells in primary culture. Administration of follistatin (a specific b...
