Psychometric facets of Antifragility: Tolerance of Ambiguity, Hardiness, and Growth

This paper considers the issues, which are concerned with a new concept of antifragility. Quite recently, considerable attention has been paid to the concept of antifragility. Antifragility gains a special importance in studying psychologic...

Guiding the Self-Organization of Cyber-Physical Systems

Self-organization offers a promising approach for designing adaptive systems. Given the inherent complexity of most cyber-physical systems, adaptivity is desired, as predictability is limited. Here I summarize different concepts and approac...

Empowering Sustainability: The Crucial Role of IoT-Enabled Distributed Learning Systems in Reducing Carbon Footprints

Electrical energy plays a pivotal role in modern society by powering homes, industries, and transportation systems. However, the production of electricity is associated with significant carbon emissions, primarily from fossil fuel-based pow...

Effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme gene polymorphism at the results of losartan use in the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

Poniatowskaya T. Yu. Effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme gene polymorphism at the results of losartan use in the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Journal of Education, Health and Sport. 2015;5(3):55-61. ISSN 2391-8306. DOI: 10.52...

Research on local voltage control strategy based on high-penetration distributed PV systems

With the high-penetration distributed photovoltaic (PV) systems accessed to a distribution network, the peak active power output of PV systems is always greater than the total local load demands, which might lead to the issues of overvoltag...

Distribution Patterns of Iron-Oxidizing Zeta- and Beta-Proteobacteria From Different Environmental Settings at the Jan Mayen Vent Fields

Iron oxidizers are widespread in marine environments and play an important role in marine iron cycling. However, little is known about the overall distribution of iron oxidizers within hydrothermal systems, including settings with little hy...

Tumor probability mapping of fluorescence intensity during image-guided surgery of head and neck cancer

Abstract Achieving negative surgical margins remains a critical determinant of local recurrence and survival in head and neck cancer (HNC) surgery. Current intraoperative margin assessment techniques, including frozen section analysis, suff...

Optimum calcination temperature for the synthesis of nanostructured alumina for energy storage heat management applications

Heat management for rechargeable energy systems such as lithium-ion batteries are of great performance and safety value. Optimization of solid additives to liquid cooling systems are a field of research for the advanced materials selection ...

Design and Practice of Green and Low-Carbon Urban Rail Transit Planning

[Objective] To achieve cost efficiency and low-carbon transformation in rail transit, the planning, design, and implementation of green and low-carbon urban rail transit systems is investigated. [Method] Aiming at life-cycle sustainable dev...

Pore-Throat-Adaptive Transport and Flow-Redistribution Mechanisms of Deformable Hydrogel Particles in Tight Reservoirs of the Ordos Basin

Tight reservoirs commonly exhibit strong pore-throat confinement and flow heterogeneity, which cause injected water to preferentially migrate through connected high-conductivity pathways while a large fraction of movable fluids remains unde...

Plasmodium vivax Transmission in Africa.

Malaria in sub-Saharan Africa has historically been almost exclusively attributed to Plasmodium falciparum (Pf). Current diagnostic and surveillance systems in much of sub-Saharan Africa are not designed to identify or report non-Pf human m...

Programming distributed systems

Distributed computing systems distributed programming without language support language support for programming distributed systems language for programming distributed systems the share data-object model implementation example programs and...

Towards robust distributed systems (abstract)

Current distributed systems, even the ones that work, tend to be very fragile: they are hard to keep up, hard to manage, hard to grow, hard to evolve, and hard to program. In this talk, I look at several issues in an attempt to clean up the...

Load Sharing in Distributed Systems

An important part of a distributed system design is the choice of a load sharing or global scheduling strategy. A comprehensive literature survey on this topic is presented. We propose a taxonomy of load sharing algorithms that draws a basi...

Dynamic Configuration for Distributed Systems

Dynamic system configuration is the ability to modify and extend a system while it is running. The facility is a requirement in large distributed systems where it may not be possible or economic to stop the entire system to allow modificati...

Distributed Systems for System Architects

Gossiping in distributed systems

Gossip-based algorithms were first introduced for reliably disseminating data in large-scale distributed systems. However, their simplicity, robustness, and flexibility make them attractive for more than just pure data dissemination alone. ...

Understanding fault-tolerant distributed systems

We propose a small number of basic concepts that can be used to explain the architecture of fault-tolerant distributed systems and we discuss a list of architectural issues that we find useful to consider when designing or examining such sy...

Load distributing for locally distributed systems

The problem of judiciously and transparently redistributing the load of the system among its nodes so that overall performance is maximized is discussed. Several key issues in load distributing for general-purpose systems, including the mot...
