In this work we study a special type of task scheduling referred to as epoch scheduling in a distributed server (processor) system. With this policy, processor queues are rearranged only at the end of predefined intervals. The time interval between successive queue rearrangements is called an epoch. The objective is to examine if epoch scheduling can perform close to STF method and achieve fair...

Geological records on earth are largely set in stone, or at least the distinctive fossils to be found in different layers of rock. The geological time scale also tends to span millions of years though more recently they have comprised mere millennia, with the most recent epoch, the Holocene, traced back to have begun just 11,700 years ago at the end of the last ice age. But geologists are now c...

We have modelled the process of reionization of the intergalactic medium (IGM) by photoionization by galaxies, in order to learn what galaxy formation in the framework of the CDM model predicts for the epoch of reionization. We use a sophisticated semi-analytic model of galaxy formation to track the formation of these galaxies, their influence on the IGM, and the back-reaction of the state of t...

Book Review cerebellum. The distilled message of these five well-The Cerebellar Epoch presented chapters is two new proposed nomenclature systems. The first is a so-called quadrapartite lobular Development of the Cerebellar System in Relation to division of the cerebellum into an anterior lobe (vermal The authors justify this view based on others' physiological studies and on their own embryolo...

(b). Substructure generation in the 3-D nite element mesh shown in Fig. 4 using Competitive learning. tures for domain decomposition using ANN paradigms. This study demonstrates the usefulness of neural networks for solving large optimization problems with reasonable speed, that are nontrivial, but may not be as hard as for example, the traveling salesman problem. Both techniques yield signican...

We have obtained a second epoch of Hubble Space Telescope NICMOS observations of seven Young Stellar Objects: HH 30, L1551 IRS5, IRAS 04016+2610, IRAS 04302+2247, Haro 6-5B, CoKu Tau/1 and DG Tau B. The first epoch observations were taken in 1997 as part of two different programs, while the second epoch were obtained in 2004 as part program to measure polarization in these objects. Data obtaine...

garshasp has peregrinated an agelong path from avesta epoch to the time of preparation of old historical context and iran’s national epic. garshasp, who is the unique hero of iran’s old mythology, that his brave acts, such as killing the dragon and ogre lobbing are important parts of the heroic themes included in the avesta, through the advent of pahlavi literary context because of reasons such...

This paper proposes a method based on epoch parameters for detection of creaky voice in speech signal. The epoch parameters characterizing the source of excitation considered in this work are number of epochs in a frame, strength of excitation of epochs and epoch intervals. Analysis of epoch parameters estimated from zero-frequency filtering method with different window sizes is carried out. Di...

This paper examines load sharing and job scheduling in a network of workstations (NOW). Along with traditional methods of load sharing and job scheduling, it also examines methods referred to as epoch load sharing and epoch scheduling respectively. Epoch load sharing evenly distributes the load among workstations with job migration that occurs only at the end of predefined intervals. The time i...
