Adjusting to Normal Times

Maximizing Real-Time System Utilization by Adjusting Task Computation Times

A real-time system is any information processing system that has to respond to externally generated input stimuli within a finite and specified period: the correctness depends not only on the logical result but also on the time it was delivered; the failure to respond is as bad as the wrong response [1]. Real-time systems can be constructed out of sequential programs but are typically built fro...

Calculation of 99mTc-DTPA transit times in normal kidney [Persian]

Introduction: Renal dynamic study is a well-established and popular test in routine practice of nuclear medicine. The test is non-invasive, rapid and unique in evaluation of the kidney function. In despite of its clinical values, the parameters derived from renogram are physiologically meaningless. That is due to the fact that renogram is not the true kidney function. From mathematical po...

Development of Social Media GIS to Support Information Utilization from Normal Times to Disaster Outbreak Times

The present study aims to design, develop, operate and evaluate a social media GIS (Geographical Information Systems) specially tailored to mash-up the information that local residents and governments provide to support information utilization from normal times to disaster outbreak times in order to promote disaster reduction. The conclusions of the present study are summarized in the following...

Adjusting to Separation

Adjusting to Globalization in Germany

Workers in industries with growing export exposure have lasting earning gains: 1. We analyze at which margin export shocks are capitalized into earnings gains: on-the-job with the original employer or in a different firm but within the original industry? 2. Detect meaningful heterogeneity in the export adjustment mechanisms: Are gains from exports reaped by all workers or do better skilled work...
