Cloud manufacturing is a new paradigm which has been under study since 2010 and a vast body of research has been conducted on this topic. Among them, service composition problems are of utmost importance. However, most studies only focused on private clouds meaning the objective function is defined for just one component of the supply chain. This paper attempts to consider service composition p...

cloud computing refers to services that run in a distributed network and are accessible through common internet protocols. it merges a lot of physical resources and offers them to users as services according to service level agreement. therefore, resource management alongside with task scheduling has direct influence on cloud networks’ performance and efficiency. presenting a proper scheduling ...

in this work, we developed a simple and selective method for separation and spectrophotometric determination of trace amounts of cetylpyridinium chloride (cpc) in pharmaceutical products using cloud point extraction (cpe) technique. the method is based on cloud point extraction of the cpc in alkali conditions using of nonionic surfactant triton x-114. under selected conditions, the calibration ...

in this article cloud-point extraction (cpe) was used with chelating agent to extract uranium from aqueous solutions. the methodology used is based on the formation of metal complexes soluble in a micellar phase of surfactant. the metal ions complexes are then extracted into the surfactant-rich phase at a temperature above the cloud-point temperature. the effect of type of surfactants and ligan...

While cloud computing is growing at a remarkable speed, privacy issues are far from being solved. One way to diminish privacy concerns is to store data on the cloud in encrypted form. However, encryption often hinders useful computation cloud services. A theoretical approach is to employ the so-called fully homomorphic encryption, yet the overhead is so high that it is not considered a viable s...

in the last two decade the use of aerial laser scanner (als) or lidar (light detection and ranging) sensor in geomatics engineering and surveying application has augmented significantly . the main reason of the mentioned phenomenon is the reliability and accuracy of the data obtained by lidar sensors. the output of lidar is unclassified 3d point cloud. classification of the lidar point clouds i...
