Decoupled-CBQ, a CBQ derived scheduler, has been proved being a substantial improvement over CBQ. D-CBQ main advantages are a new set of rules for distributing excess bandwidth and the ability to guarantee bandwidth and delay in a separate way, whence the name “decoupled”. This paper aims at the characterization of D-CBQ by means of an extended set of simulations and a real implementation into ...

Over the past couple of years, the extent of the services provided on the mobile devices has increased rapidly. A special class of service among them is the Location Based Service(LBS) which depends on the geographical position of the user to provide services to the end users. How ever, a mobile device is still resource constrained, and some applications usually demand more resources than a mob...

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between parenting style and the level of emotional intelligence in preschool-aged children. The sample consisted of eighty parent participants of preschool-aged children between the ages of 3 and 6 years old. Participants completed the Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire (PSDQ) in order to assess their views on behaviors that pa...

A biofuel cell is a device for converting chemical energy to electrical energy by a simple way. A high-impact anode is prepared in this research. Here, carboxylated multiwall carbon nanotube (COOH-MWCNT), polydiallyldimethyl ammonium chloride (PDDA) and alcohol dehydrogenase were cast on modified glassy carbon with polymethylene green to construct the bioanode for ...

We introduce a framework and class library (GAV Flash) implemented in Adobe’s ActionScript, designed with the intention to significantly shorten the time and effort needed to develop customized web-enabled applications for visual analytics or geovisual analytics tasks. Through an atomic layered component architecture, GAV Flash provides a collection of common geoand information visualization re...

We investigate the problem of storage assignment in a warehouse served by milkrun logistics, i.e. vehicles circulating according to a pre-defined schedule between the warehouse and the production facilities of the plant. Such a logistic system results in an easy-to-characterize correlation among the request probabilities of the items in the warehouse. A MIP model is proposed that exploits this ...

Demanding applications like distributed multi-physics simulations benefit from the combined computational performance and data storage of multiple clusters. A reservation mechanism spanning these clusters ensures the availability of all selected resources. Complex workflows with chronological dependencies are supported. This approach addresses network resources the same way as computation and s...
