Priority assignment on partitioned multiprocessor systems with shared resources by Zhao, Shuai, Chang, Wanli, Wei, Ran, Liu, Weichen, Guan, Nan, Burns, Alan, Wellings, Andy

“…Unfortunately, on multiprocessor systems with shared resources, the issue of priority assignment has not been adequately understood. In this article, we investigate three mainstream priority assignment algorithms-Deadline Monotonic Priority Ordering (DMPO), Audsley's Optimal Priority Assignment (OPA), and Robust Priority Assignment (RPA), in the context of partitioned multiprocessor systems with shared resources. …”

Dual-cross-polarized GPR measurement method for detection and orientation estimation of shallowly buried elongated object by Sun, Hai-Han, Lee, Yee Hui, Luo, Wenhao, Ow, Lai Fern, Mohamed Lokman Mohd Yusof, Yucel, Abdulkadir C.

“…The effectiveness of the proposed techniques on the detection and orientation estimation and their advantages over the existing method have been demonstrated using experimental data. Comparison results show that the maximum and average errors are 22.3° and 10.9° for the Alford rotation algorithm, while those are 4.9° and 1.8° for the proposed DCPOE algorithm in the demonstrated shallowly buried object cases. …”

Retarding effect of concentration of cementation solution on biocementation of soil by Lai, Han-Jiang, Cui, Ming-Juan, Wu, Shifan, Yang, Yang, Chu, Jian

“…The test results of this study have identified that there is retarding effect of CCS on the MICP process, showing that the calcium conversion efficiency, which represents the amount of calcium that has been converted into calcium carbonate in each treatment, reduces with the increase in CCS, and the concentration of calcium is the control factor. …”

Similarity network fusion for the integration of multi-omics and microbiomes in respiratory disease by Narayana, Jayanth Kumar, Mac Aogáin, Micheál, Nur A'tikah Mohamed Ali, Tsaneva-Atanasova, Krasimira, Chotirmall, Sanjay Haresh

“…While ‘mono-omic’ analysis has been extremely beneficial, from a systems medicine perspective, this may fail to capture the emergent properties of an individual system and hence may yield limited understanding of non-linear and dynamic features, all of which are increasingly evident in the pathogenesis of respiratory disease [1]. …”

Facial action unit detection using attention and relation learning by Shao, Zhiwen, Liu, Zhilei, Cai, Jianfei, Wu, Yunsheng, Ma, Lizhuang

“…In this paper, we propose an end-to-end deep learning based attention and relation learning framework for AU detection with only AU labels, which has not been explored before. In particular, multi-scale features shared by each AU are learned firstly, and then both channel-wise and spatial attentions are adaptively learned to select and extract AU-related local features. …”
