Most research on real-time operating systems have focused on scheduling and admission control of a single system resource, such as CPU, disk, and network link. However, real-world real-time applications require access to multiple system resources. Coordinating the allocation and scheduling of multiple resources raises new and interesting research problems, especially for latency-bound applicati...

Abstract English for Specific Purposes (ESP) and Needs Analysis (NA) have been studied to a great extent, since couple of decades ago. The review the related studies also shows that needs analysis has much concern researchers interested in ESP field. However, students marine engineering not investigated terms task-based language needs. used quantitative survey. To collect data, researc...

Conventional transport protocol standards do not adequately support distributed real-time systems. An ideal protocol would ensure that at all times the communications subsystem is working on the task (message) of the most value to the overall system. In this report we investigate how to develop a flexible and potent discrimination scheme based on importance, an abstract concept that measures th...

Design-Based Research (DBR) is a relatively new intervention method investigating educational designs applied to real-life settings, and with a dual purpose to develop domain theories and to develop the design, iteratively. This paper is an integrative review, which draws on literature and empirical projects to identify and discuss critical elements in DBR, in particular when doing research in ...

BBOSWELL: Boswell: What I admire in Ramsay is his continuing to be so young. Johnson: Why yes sir, it is to be admired. I value myself upon this, that there is nothing of the old man in my conversation. I am now sixty-eight and I have no more of it than at twenty-eight. Boswell: But sir, would you not wish to know old age? He who is never an old man does not know the whole of human life; for ol...
