Coping With Constraints: Achieving Effective Conservation With Limited Resources

Coping With Constraints: Achieving Effective Conservation With Limited Resources

Conservation resources have become increasingly limited and, along with social, cultural and political complexities, this shortfall frequently challenges effectiveness in conservation. Because conservation can be costly, efforts are often only initiated after a species has declined below a critical threshold and/or when statutory protection is mandated. However, implementing conservation proact...

Achieving Fully-Automated Aircraft Flight with Limited Resources

Fully-automating aircraft flight presents a number of challenges for researchers. Perhaps most important is the criticality of real-time responses -an aircraft cannot remain safe indefinitely once it has left the ground. Additionally, aircraft flight dynamics are complex and not fullyunderstood, so computations are often time-consuming and approximate at best. Current aircraft use low-level con...

Day-care Plastic Surgery in Nigeria: Coping with Limited Resources

Project selection with limited resources in data envelopment‎ ‎analysis‎

‎In this paper allocating a fixed resource for producing ‎finite projects in order to obtaining a desired level of‎ ‎efficiency will be discussed‎. ‎Note that it is assumed that a ‎vector of limited sources is at hand‎. ‎This vector of resources can‎ ‎be contained human resource‎, ‎budget‎, ‎equipment‎, ‎and facilities‎. ‎In ‎any firm there exist different suggestions from subunits for ‎running...

Tiling with limited resources

In the framework of perfect loop nests with uniform dependences, tiling has been extensively studied as a source-to-source program transformation. Little work has been devoted to the mapping and scheduling of the tiles on to physical processors. We present several new results in the context of limited computational resources, and assuming communication-computation overlap. In particular, under ...
