While cloud computing has enabled applications to be designed as elastic cloud services, there is a lack of tools and techniques for monitoring and analysing their elasticity at multiple levels, from the service level to the underlying virtual infrastructure. In this paper, we focus on monitoring and evaluating elasticity of cloud services, crucial for supporting users and automatic elasticity ...

abstract in order to evaluation the effects of price policies (wheat guarantee price in each period and its price lag), environmental (planted area) and climatic (min and max average temperature, total annual precipitation, cold-day degree and hot-day degree) factors, we considered wheat yield in razavi-khorasan province (9 cities) for a 13-year statistical period (1371-72 to 1383-84). in this ...

PURPOSE We aimed to determine the correlations between the elasticity values of solid breast masses and histopathological findings to define cutoff elasticity values differentiating malignant from benign lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 115 solid breast lesions of 109 consecutive patients were evaluated prospectively using shear wave elastography (SWE). Two orthogonal elastographic i...

The conventional Cobb-Douglas production function model require strong assumptions such as the constant elasticity and the entire frontier efficiency. The varying elasticity production function is an useful extension but it does not take frontier efficiency into account, and the data envelope analysis model involves the use of linear programming methods to estimate the frontier efficiency where...

Synthetic polymers are widely researched for their use in tissue engineering. Control in size, surface area, pore size, and elasticity are the biggest advantages of using a man-made polymer. However, often the polymers are hydrophobic (do not encourage cell attachment); hence, it is hugely challenging to integrate them with the normal tissues. Herein, we have tried to overcome this disadvantage...

NoSQL (Not Only SQL) systems are becoming popular due to known advantages such as horizontal scalability and elasticity. In this paper, we study the implementation of multidimensional data warehouses with columnoriented NoSQL systems. We define mapping rules that transform the conceptual multidimensional data model to logical column-oriented models. We consider three different logical models an...

NoSQL (Not Only SQL) systems are becoming popular due to known advantages such as horizontal scalability and elasticity. In this paper, we study the implementation of data warehouses with document-oriented NoSQL systems. We propose mapping rules that transform the multidimensional data model to logical document-oriented models. We consider three different logical models and we use them to insta...
