Combinatorial algorithms for scheduling jobs to minimize server usage time by Ren, Runtian

“…In the non-clairvoyant online setting, we first show that no deterministic online scheduler can achieve a competitive ratio less than µ. Then, we propose two O(µ)- competitive schedulers: Batch and Batch+. …”

Exploring connections between seagrass ecosystem services and meadow hydrodynamics by Schaefer, Rachel

“…Lastly, in a patchy current-dominated meadow the spatial variability in sediment carbon stocks did not correlate with the spatial distribution of patches. One vegetated patch showed substantially higher sediment carbon than the rest of the meadow, which was attributed to the recent persistence of the specific patch. …”

Crustal deformation at the Sumatran subduction zone revealed by coral rings by Ward, Steven N., Natawidjaja, Danny H., Suwargadi, Bambang W., Sieh, Kerry

“…Analyses of coral rings grown in the interval 1970–1997 reveal a geographically distinct pattern of interseismic uplift off Sumatra's western coast. At distances less than 110 km from the Sumatran trench, coral reefs are submerging as fast as 5 mm/y. …”

Automatic adaptive FE analysis of thin-walled structures using 3D solid elements by Lee, Chi King, Xu, Q. X.

“…This procedure employs a specially designed superconvergent patch recovery (SPR) procedure for stress recovery, the Zienkiewicz and Zhu (Z-Z) error estimator for the a posteriori error estimation, a new refinement strategy for new element size prediction and a special mesh generator for adaptive mesh generation. …”

Comparative effects of domain-specific human monoclonal antibodies against LGI1 on neuronal excitability by Sell, J, Rahmati, V, Kempfer, M, Irani, SR, Ritzau-Jost, A, Hallermann, S, Geis, C

“…LRR- and EPTP-specific effects were evaluated by patch-clamp recordings in cultured hippocampal neurons and compared with biophysical neuron modeling. …”

CPU availability predictor and machine recommender for a desktop grid by Shafazand, Mohammad Yaser

“…The overhead of the predictor systems in these environments are also less studied. This has led to more sophisticated predictors sacrificing simplicity and having high resource usage overhead. …”

Surface engineering of layered double hydroxides for advanced applications by Laney, K

“…The optimisation of the co-hydration method is explored through temperature, starting material ratios and hydrothermal aging time. Initial scaling and batch production of the optimised sample are performed.…”

The inhibitory effect of medication on the anaerobic co-digestion of food waste and brown water by Ng, Si Jia.

“…The medication may have inhibitory effect towards microbial activities of anaerobic digestion downstream. The batch study was carried out using serum bottles for aspirin and Automatic Methane Potential Test System (AMPTS) for paracetamol. …”

Bio-modification of sand for cement grouting by Ng, Samuel Joel Rui Ming

“…There is a need to look for ways to use less sand, less aggregates or substitutes for concrete and grouting, or use the same amount of sand or aggregates to produce higher strength concrete and grouting materials. …”

The sensitivity of tsunami models and tsunami energy to geologically constrained fault sources and shallow bathymetry by Felix, Raquel Picar

“…The ratio is generally close to or less than 1 for frontal thrusts, because their narrow uplift patches are only few kilometers wide, close to the values of the water depth (average ocean depth is at ∼4 km; deepest ocean depth at the trench is at ∼11 km). …”
