The eMouseAtlas project has undertaken to generate a new resource providing access to high-resolution colour images of the slides used in the renowned textbook 'The Atlas of Mouse Development' by Matthew H. Kaufman. The original histology slides were digitized, and the associated anatomy annotations captured for display in the new resource. These annotations were assigned to objects in the stan...

Abstractions are generally thought to reduce the complexity of problem solving. In this report, we present two abstraction techniques and one partitioning heuristic to solve resource allocation problems. The clustering heuristic decomposes the resource allocation problem into easy and difficult components interacting through abstracted pools of resources. The hierarchy of resource pools allows ...

introduction: human resources development is one of the most important components of any organization and detecting important factors influencing human resources management plays an essential role in the success of the firms. in this study, we investigated different factors influencing human resources productivity of shiraz university of medical sciences staff. method: the present research was ...

Construction of coastal ports makes port area and nearby sea area become high risk region of ecological emergency and environmental pollution. It is helpful for providing references to protect ecological environment of port by quantifying port ecological carrying capacity. This paper will transfer resources and energy consumed in port production and operation to four ecological productive lands...

Query optimization techniques are proved to be essential for high performance of database management systems. In the context of new querying paradigms, such as similarity based search, exact query evaluation is neither computationally feasible nor meaningful, and approximate query evaluation is the only reasonable option. In this paper a problem of resource allocation for approximate evaluation...

This paper addresses the problem of providing transactional support for improved data consistency in mobile file access, while paying careful attention to the resource constraints of mobile clients. We present data on resource consumption from an implementation of the isolation-only transaction (IOT) mechanism of the Coda File System. The data shows that the resource conservation techniques use...

Efficient satellite resource management and allocation techniques aim at providing reliable real-time service, taking into consideration the scarcity of resources and the large number of handovers. This paper presents algorithms and modules for accurate satellite and beam handover prediction at the SBS. The call is assigned to that path which provides the highest preference factor. Several alte...

Ripple-Down Rules (RDR) has had considerable success in providing simple incremental knowledge acquisition in classification domains. It has been extended to multiple classification, configuration, search and more recently to resource allocation tasks. Based on the experience of applying RDR to a resource allocation task, this paper proposes a generalisation of RDR to enable it to apply to a wi...

Resource provisioning is a critical concern for mobile users as they have less capability in providing high battery, bandwidth and memory. Mobile cloud computing provides a solution to this problem as it brings all cloud services to mobile users and mobile service providers. This paper discusses different issues in resource provisioning so as to manage the usage of applications effectively by m...

A growing class of sensor network applications require high data rates and computationally-intensive node-level processing. When deployed into environments where resources are limited and variable, achieving good performance requires applications to adjust their behavior as resource availability changes. This paper presents Pixie, a new sensor network operating system designed to facilitate the...
