Approximation algorithms have been used to design polynomial time algorithms for intractable problems that provide solutions within the bounded proximity of the optimal solution. Load balancing problem on Heterogeneous Distributed Computing System (HDCS) deals with allocation of tasks to computing nodes, so that computing nodes are evenly loaded. Load-balancing algorithms are attempts to comput...

The effect of multiple shallow corrosion pits on the strength a spherical vessel subjected to internal pressure is studied. are considered both randomly and evenly distributed along equator outer surface vessel. dependencies stress concentration factor number compared for linearly elastic elastic-plastic material with hardening. behavior vessels made elastoplastic materials turned out be qualit...

Conventional migration strategies attempt to evenly balance the load across all available server machines. This paper discusses why conventional migration approaches are not necessarily appropriate for distributed memorybased file systems and presents and alternative approach that spreads data (possibly unevenly) across as few machines as possible and involves other available machines only as n...

Abstract In order to examine the effect of spatial scale and building exposure distribution on pure rate earthquake catastrophe insurance, this study described three modules for determination, put forward general assumptions principles calculating insurance rate, introduced types their calculation. Taking Tangshan City Hebei Province in China as an example, we analyzed regional terms by using m...

The existence of many large transactions distributed databases with high data schemas, the centralized approach for mining association rules in such databases will not be feasible. Some distributed algorithms have been developed [FDM, CD], but none of them have considered the problem of data skews in distributed mining of association rules. The skewness of datasets reduces the workload balancin...

We report here a novel fluorescent chemical probe which stains distinct neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) by binding to acid ceramidase in mouse neurospheres. is distributed evenly or unevenly to the daughter cells during multiple mitoses enabling the live imaging of symmetric and asymmetric divisions of isolated NSPCs.

Multistep interpolation of scattered data by compactly supported radial basis functions requires hierarchical subsets of the data. This paper analyzes thinning algorithms for generating evenly distributed subsets of scattered data in a given domain in IR. AMS subject classification: 41A15, 65D05, 65D07.

The 1883 Patents Act in Britain provides perspective formodern patent policy reforms because it radically changed incentives for inventors by reducing filing fees by 84 percent. Patents increased 2.5-fold after the reform, which was evenly distributed across the geography of inventors, the organization of invention 0 September 2010 ccepted 15 October 2010 vailable online 30 November 2010
