Data streaming applications bring new challenges to resource management and scheduling for grid computing. Since real-time data streaming is required as data processing is going on, integrated grid resource management becomes essential among processing, storage and networking resources. Traditional scheduling approaches may not be sufficient for such applications, since usually only one aspect ...

the main purpose of this study was to investigate the factors causing the rural underdevelopment in iran. to fulfill this objective, delphi technique, as a method of refining group opinions and substituting computed consensus for an agreed-upon majority opinion, was used. the study used a series of three steps questionnaires. findings indicated that lack of a coherent strategy for sustainable r...

the study was conducted among the two farmer groups in bhaktapur and kavre districts of nepal. the main objective of the study is to evaluate the differences in belief, attitude and practices felt by the farmers after participation in the ipm ffs. the study has been based on data collected through personal interview with the farmers, focus group discussion, personal observation in the farmers f...

When a crisis occurs, such as a fire in a chemical facility, difficult decisions need to be made based on assessment of risk. Is it safe enough for responders to enter the area? Do we need to evacuate the public from the nearby area? Assessing risks may require information from a number of different sources, as well as collaboration across organizations and management levels. In this paper we p...

This article is composed of two independent opinion pieces about the state integrated, coordinated, open, and networked (ICON) principles (Goldman et al., 2021, https://doi.org/10.1029/2021EO153180; Goldman 2022, https://doi.org/10.1029/2021ea002099) in Tectonophysics discussion on opportunities challenges adopting them. Each piece focuses a different topic: (a) global collaboration, technology...

Hydrologic sciences depend on data monitoring, analyses, and simulations of hydrologic processes to ensure safe, sufficient, equal water distribution. These come from but are not limited primary (lab, plot, field experiments) secondary sources (remote sensing, UAVs, models) that typically follow FAIR Principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable: (go-fair.org)). Easy availability ha...

This paper presents a formulation of unit commitment for thermal units integrated with wind and solar energy systems and electrical vehicles with emphasizing on Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP). The renewable energy resources are included in this model due to their low electricity cost and positive effect on environment. As well as, coordinated charging strategy of electrical vehicle...

The effective and sustainable environmental performance of a business is a result of various factors and most important the integrated outcome of the environmental management. Likewise, the integration of environmental protection into the armed forces functions has also gain interest for the military sector internationally. Therefore, the environmental management system (EMS) is recognized as o...
