Fault-tolerant computation meets network coding: optimal scheduling in parallel computing by Li, Congduan, Zhang, Yiqian, Tan, Chee Wei

“…We propose optimization-based algorithms to efficiently construct the optimal coding matrices subject to fault tolerance specifications. Performance evaluation demonstrates that the optimal scheduling effectively reduces the overall running time of parallel computing while resisting wide-ranging failure rates.…”

The greening of terminal concessions in seaports by Notteboom, Theo, Lam, Jasmine Siu Lee

“…Not all instruments have the same likeliness of being embraced or implemented by port authorities, in part because of a low perceived contribution, high associated regulation costs, or simply because the port authority is unlikely to have jurisdiction in that specific area. Measures related to information reporting and some types of harm-based standards, design standards, and technology specifications are relatively easy to implement in a concession setting. …”

Three essays on frictions of trade by Li, W

“…The analysis is based on an adapted gravity model with several alternative specifications for robustness checks. The result suggests that improvements on the road network lead to trade expansion on both intensive and extensive margins, but the effects vary across the regions. …”

Fabrication and characterisation of kenaf fibre reinforced polyamide biocomposites for railway sleeper applications by ahmad, mukaddas, Abdul Aziz, Farah Nora Aznieta, Abdan, Khalina, Shafi, Ayu Rafiqah

“…Kenaf fibre-reinforced polyamide biocomposites have demonstrated their potential for railway sleeper applications as their load-bearing capacity exceeded the minimum recommended AREMA specifications. Despite the milestone achieved, water absorption of kenaf fibre remained high. …”
