this study has aimed to analyze and evaluate the natural and agricultural hazards of guilan province. guilan province, due to the presence of multiple life zones and the existence of permanent rivers, suitable lands and important wetlands, can produce a variety of crops and livestock productions, which gives this province a prominent statues and natural and agricultural hazards could result in ...

We suggest that satisfactory statistical performance guarantees for streaming flows can be fulfilled when their packets receive expedited forwarding in non-preemptive priority queues. This relies on the conjecture that jitter remains negligible in the network such that performance measures can be bounded by assuming flows constitute Poisson arrival processes of MTU sized packets. We provide ana...

OBJECTIVES Over the past few years many reports have shown that posteroventral pallidotomy is an effective method for treating advanced cases of Parkinson's disease. The main differences with earlier descriptions were the use of standardised evaluation with new high resolution MRI studies and of single cell microrecording which can electrophysiologically define the sensorimotor portion of the i...

The contributions of this paper are threefold. First, a solution to the problem of prioritized mutual exclusion in a distributed system is proved correct. This protocol is based on fewer requirements than prioritized extensions of other protocols and outperforms other protocols with an average complexity of (log n) and a worst-case complexity of O(n) messages for n nodes. Second, the concept of...

This article provides the first comprehensive conceptual account for the imagistic mental machinery that allows us to travel through time--for the time machine in our mind. It is argued that language reveals this imagistic machine and how we use it. Findings from a range of cognitive fields are theoretically unified and a recent proposal about spatialized mental time travel is elaborated on. Th...

AbstmctA direct application of commonly used synchronization primitives such as semaphores, monitors, or the Ada rendezvous can lead to uncontrolled priority inversion, a situation in which a higher priority job is blocked by lower priority jobs for an indefinite period of time. In this paper, we investigate two protocols belonging to the class of priority inheritance protocols, called the basi...

In this paper, we investigate a simplified head-of-the-line with priority jumps (HOL-PJ) scheduling discipline. Therefore, we consider a discrete-time single-server queueing system with two priority queues of infinite capacity and with a newly introduced HOL-PJ priority scheme. We derive expressions for the probability generating function of the system contents and the packet delay. Some perfor...

ÐWe investigate the performance implications of providing transaction atomicity for firm-deadline real-time applications operating on distributed data. Using a detailed simulation model, the real-time performance of a representative set of classical transaction commit protocols is evaluated. The experimental results show that data distribution has a significant influence on real-time performanc...

We study the space requirements of a sorting algorithm where only items that at the end will be adjacent are kept together. This is equivalent to the following combinatorial problem: Consider a string of fixed length n that starts as a string of 0’s, and then evolves by changing each 0 to 1, with the n changes done in random order. What is the maximal number of runs of 1’s? We give asymptotic r...

This paper identifies various parametrized dynamic priority queue disciplines from literature which are complete in two class M/G/1 queue. Equivalence between these queue disciplines is established by obtaining non linear transformation in closed form. Motivation behind these completeness and equivalence results is discussed from optimal control perspective. Some comments on global FCFS policy ...
