This study examined to study how respondents rely on the Internet to fulfill the various life goals dimensioned into understanding, orientation and playing goals, and how this dependency relates to the generation of social capital. Further, it examined the resources of social capital in terms of bonding social capita and bridging social capital. In this study quantitative research approach was ...

Cloud computing used for task scheduling which guided by broker and computer by virtual machine, but cost of computation will increase if use random task localization and this problem exponential high when use workflow which have huge number of task with dependency, so in this paper optimize the cost and time by intelligent and colony optimization which give decision to broker.

Dependency parsing has gained attention in natural language understanding because the representation of dependency tree is simple, compact and direct such that robust partial understanding and task portability can be achieved more easily. However, many dependency parsers make hard decisions with local information while selecting among the next parse states. As a consequence, though the obtained...

This document using property-right approach analyzes the effect of national factor endowment, sector-specific intensity of head-quarter services and the degree of technological dependency on the decision of organizational structures of final-good producers.We highlight that the technological dependency of the final-good producer on the supplier is a significant factor resulting to the heterogen...

This note discusses the impact of collection cost structure on the optimal reverse channel choice of manufacturers who remanufacture their own products. Using collection cost functions that capture collection rate and collection volume dependency, we show that the optimal reverse channel choice (retailerversus manufacturer-managed collection) is driven by how the cost structure moderates the ma...

Components in engineered systems are subjected to stochastic deterioration due to uncertainties in the operating environmental conditions and material properties. The component could be, for example, moving parts such as gear boxes and pumps in a chemical plant or equipment production plant, the pipe segments in oil and gas pipeline system, and the heat transport pipe segment in nuclear power p...

Dependency analysis of critical infrastructures is a computationally intensive problem when dealing with large-scale, cross-sectoral, cascading and common-cause failures. The problem intensifies when attempting a dynamic, time-based dependency analysis. This paper extends a previous graph-based risk analysis methodology to dynamically assess the evolution of cascading failures over time. Variou...

We propose a minimization algorithm that combines cost tables and simulated annealing. Unlike other minimization procedures that use cost tables, our method does not rely on the enumeration of all minterms, it works directly with the expression (a sum of product terms). We tested our method with a cost table obtained from current mode CMOS. The algorithm can be readily adapted to any other tech...
