Dynamic and elastic resource allocation to Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) in accordance with varying workloads is a must for realizing promised reductions in capital and operational expenses in Network Functions Virtualization (NFV). However, workload heterogeneity and complex relationships between resources allocated to a VNF and the resulting capacity makes elastic resource flexing a challe...

Introduction: Significant challenges face any user of planetary hyperspectral imagery. For the scientist, the sheer volume of data precludes exhaustive manual analysis. For the mission planner, the complex subtleties of hyperspectral images are difficult to summarize in a readily interpretable product. Both experts would benefit from a rapid, robust means to create draft mineralogical maps, sum...

با توجه به رشد بالای جمعیت در جهان و نیاز اطمینان از امنیت غذایی، افزایش تولید واحد سطح محصولات زراعی به‌منزلة راهبردی اساسی حل مسئلة تأمین غذا به‌شمار می‌رود. سوی دیگر، وجود محدودیت زیرکشت پایین‌بودن میانگین عملکرد برخی کشاورزی مانند گندم کشور، محصول می‌تواند راهکاری عملی پاسخ کشور محسوب شود. یکی مهم‌ترین بیماری‌های فوزاریوم است که، نقش پیش‌بینی این بیماری جلوگیری کاهش بهره‌وری محصول، مدل‌هایی...

Courtyards are a passive strategy to improve the energy performance of buildings. However, accurate simulation courtyards’ thermodynamic in early design stage is still challenging, even though there has been an emergence new methods assess outdoor simulation. This paper tests novel workflow using Ladybug Tools that uses CFD for temperature and comfort courtyards suitable building design, compar...

The authors discuss the differences of envi~onmeats whexe dialogue translation and textual translation systems might be used. The differences are summarized as clear definition of information and active participations of speakers and hearers in dialogue t~anslation. A new approach to MT, interpretation based approach, is proposed to take the advantages of dialogue translation environments. The ...

Among these variables, soil moisture (SM) is one of the most requested ones [1]. This envi‐ ronmental variable is considered important to many ecological processes that occur on Earth's surface, from its relationship to climate events to its importance in terms of water availability for agricultural crops. In fact, it is considered an essential climate variable domain for the Global Earth Obser...

The university campus is an interesting application environment for the ubiquitous computing paradigm: a large number of users share a substantial amount of their information needs and much of this information is directly related to physical objects, places, and people that are situated in the campus environment. We motivate the need for material entry points into a virtual campus that increase...
