Introduction: Established methods for monitoring specific molecules in the living body, such as continuous glucose monitor, rely on enzymatic or chemical reactivity of their targets, and thus are not generalizable to arbitrary new targets. For this reason, only a handful metabolites neurotransmitters, no hormones protein biomarkers, can currently be measured vivo1. Against background, we develo...

This paper compares the very fundamental concepts behind two approaches to optimistic parallel discrete-event simulation on BSP computers 10]. We refer to (i) asynchronous simulation time advance as it is realised in the BSP implementation of Time Warp 3], and (ii) synchronous time advance as it is realised in the BSP implementation of Breathing Time Buckets 8]. Our results suggest that asynchr...

This is related to reserve the resource in advance in “Workflow scheduling” of cloud computing. The problem with the traditional allocation of resource is that the resource may be not available when needed and the requested application will be rejected. To overcome this problem, an advance reservation technique is used. Various techniques are used to reserve the resource in advance such as ECA ...

A "living will" is a type of health care document known as an "Advance Medical Directive." An advance directive is a generic term for a form or document which expresses your preferences in the event you are physically and mentally unable to make medical care decisions for yourself. That is, an Advance Medical Directive is a method of letting others know your wishes about treatment if you are un...

In every tunnel boring machine (TBM) tunneling project, there is an initial low production phase so-called the Learning Phase Period (LPP), in which low utilization is experienced and the operational parameters are adjusted to match the working conditions. LPP can be crucial in scheduling and evaluating the final project time and cost, especially for short tunnels for which it may constitute a ...
