Long-term multi-resource fairness for pay-as-you use computing systems by Tang, Shanjiang, Niu, Zhaojie, He, Bingsheng, Lee, Bu-Sung, Yu, Ce

“…In view of the heterogeneous resource demands of users' workloads, multi-resource allocation fairness is a must for resource sharing in such pay-as-you-use computing systems. However, we find that, existing multi-resource fair policies such as Dominant Resource Fairness (DRF), implemented in currently popular resource management systems such as Apache YARN [4] and Mesos [23] , are not suitable for the pay-as-you-use computing systems. …”

Carbon storage capacity of tropical peatlands in natural and artificial drainage networks by Cobb, Alexander R., Dommain, René, Tan, Fangyi, Heng, Naomi Hwee En, Harvey, Charles F.

“…We explored the maximum amount of carbon that can accumulate as water-saturated peat in natural and artificial drainage networks of northwest and southern Borneo. We find that the maximum volume of peat accumulation in a channel-bounded parcel is proportional to the square of the parcel area times a scale-independent factor describing the shape of the parcel boundary. …”

Process optimization for selective laser sintering of polypropylene by Wu, Kunlin

“…The process parameter optimization was conducted in order to find out the optimal experiment parameters. The effects of different building orientations on the tensile, flexural, impact and shrinkage properties and failure mechanism of the specimens produced by selective laser sintering process are also examined in order to investigate the anisotropy of the specimens printed by selective laser sintering process. …”

Translational and rotational critical-like behaviors in the glass transition of colloidal ellipsoid monolayers by Zheng, Zhongyu, Ni, Ran, Wang, Yuren, Han, Yilong

“…Here, through experiments and simulations, we show critical-like behaviors in both translational and rotational degrees of freedom in monolayers of monodisperse colloidal ellipsoids in the absence of crystalline orders. We find rich features of the Ising-like criticality in structure and slow dynamics at the ideal glass transition point ϕ0, showing the thermodynamic nature of glass transition at ϕ0. …”

Semantic matching in machine reading comprehension: an empirical study by Liu, Qian, Mao, Rui, Geng, Xiubo, Cambria, Erik

“…Matching coarse-grained context to questions, e.g., paragraphs, is more effective than matching fine-grained context, e.g., sentences and spans. We also find that semantic matching is helpful for answering who/where/when/what/how/which questions, whereas it decreases the MRC performance on why questions. …”
