Abstract Providing QoS and performance guarantees to arbitrarily divisible loads has become a significant problem for many cluster-based research computing facilities. While progress is being made in scheduling arbitrarily divisible loads, some of proposed approaches may cause Inserted Idle Times (IITs) that are detrimental to system performance. In this paper we propose a new approach that uti...

This chapter reviews randomization algorithms developed in the last few years to solve a wide range of geometric optimization problems. We review a number of general techniques, including randomized binary search, randomized linear-programming algorithms, and random sampling. Next, we describe several applications of these techniques, including facility location, proximity problems, nearest nei...

Tinea incognita is a dermatophyte infection of the skin whose clinical presentation has been modified by the misuse of steroids or, as has been described recently, calcineurin inhibitors. We report a case of pustular psoriasis treated with an antipsoriatic cream, composed of topical steroids and a vitamin D3 derivative, which gave rise to a tinea incognita. Our case underlines that clinical fea...

Robust control theory considers a fundamental and practically important issue in control engineering: plant uncertainty. It turns out that many of the simplest questions are very di cult to solve, but researchers have made considerable progress over the last twenty years. Nevertheless the theory has so far had less impact on practice than one might imagine. (Simulation and modeling tools, for e...

There is great variation in whether foreign sounds in loanwords are adapted or retained. Importantly, the retention of foreign sounds can lead to a sound change in the language. We propose that social factors influence the likelihood of loanword sound adaptation, and use this case to introduce a novel experimental paradigm for studying language change that captures the role of social factors. S...
