Run-time resource management is fundamental for efficient execution of workloads on Chip Multiprocessors. Application- and system-level requirements (e.g. performance vs. power lifetime reliability) are generally conflicting each other, any decision assignment, such as core allocation or frequency tuning, may positively affect some them while penalizing others. Resource assignment decisions can...

Wettability alteration has been a sophisticated issue for scientists and reservoir engineers since early 20th century; thus, many investigations have been carried out to determine wettability and enhance it to ideal conditions, which leads to improvement in oil recovery. Dilute surfactant flooding has been approved as one of the noteworthy methods in chemical flooding. Several petroleum reservo...

In this work, boehmite sol was prepared by a previously applied and validated method; hydrolysis of aluminum chloride hexa-hydrate. In order to obtain precise results, the effect of pH after adding precipitating agent, aging time, peptizing temperature and ultrasonic vibration time on the crystallite size of final precipitate were investigated in a narrow range. The preparation conditions appli...

Epoxies and epoxy-based fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) are significantly affected by environmental impacts during their service life. Exposures to water, humidity, temperature UV radiation known substantially influence the (thermo-) mechanical properties durability of materials. Design-relevant characteristics like strength, stiffness, or glass transition change with time. Therefore, expensive...

Hazards or intentional perturbations must be identified in safety- and security-critical applications. Digital sensors have been shown to an appealing approach detect such abnormalities. However, as any sensor technology, digital are prone mis-calibration. In particular, even if the initial calibration is correct, rate of false missed alarms might increase when aged. this paper, we thoroughly s...

Abstract Racism is embedded throughout society, producing enduring health inequities. Structural racism pervasive across racial or ethnic groups and at the intersection of racism, ageism, sexism. However, only tip iceberg visible in literature media. This presentation highlights aging long-term care experiences that are often invisible structural discussions (e.g., Asians). It also features dir...
