Bobtail: Avoiding Long Tails in the Cloud
Highly modular data center applications such as Bing, Facebook, and Amazon’s retail platform are known to be susceptible to long tails in response times. Services such as Amazon’s EC2 have proven attractive platforms for building similar applications. Unfortunately, virtualization used in such platforms exacerbates the long tail problem by factors of two to four. Surprisingly, we find that poor...
متن کاملParental effects and flight behaviour in the burying beetle, Nicrophorus vespilloides
Parents play a key role in determining the phenotype of their offspring. However, relatively few studies have investigated whether parents can change their offspring's behaviour in a sustained way that persists into adulthood. With experiments on the burying beetle, Nicrophorus vespilloides, we investigated how the developmental environment created by parents affects their offspring's wing morp...
متن کاملOctopaminergic gene expression and flexible social behaviour in the subsocial burying beetle Nicrophorus vespilloides
Flexible behaviour allows organisms to respond appropriately to changing environmental and social conditions. In the subsocial beetle Nicrophorus vespilloides, females tolerate conspecifics when mating, become aggressive when defending resources, and return to social tolerance when transitioning to parenting. Given the association between octopamine and aggression in insects, we hypothesized th...
متن کاملHawaiian bobtail squid
What is a bobtail squid? Euprymna scolopes (Figure 1) is a small sepiolid squid, or bobtail squid, occurring in the marine coastal environment of the Hawaiian archipelago. Whereas most other squid are always out and about, the bobtail squid buries itself in the sand during its daylight quiescent period. Then, at night, individuals of this species emerge from the sand to forage on prey, such as ...
متن کاملBurying beetles
extraordinary financial pressures that the NIH currently experience threatens the US science enterprise. This not only puts extreme pressure on established scientists but makes it very difficult for young people to develop their research programs. The NIH have put in place mechanisms to make it easier for young people to obtain their first grant, but all this does is get new researchers through...
