Nowadays, the Internet plays an important role in peoples' daily lives as well as their work, thus its resiliency is vital within its ecosystem. However, the uncoordinated patterns of inter-domain routing as well as the significant growth of the network and the traffic in Internet challenge the resiliency of Internet. Therefore, it is becoming urgent to find solutions to mitigate those issues. ...

For the past 10 years, the military medical system costs have increased by an estimated 167 percent. Behavioral health issues and physical ailments are major contributors to the increased costs. As a result, fatigue and burnout of medical professionals are growing concerns. The Army Medical Department (AMEDD) recognizes that physical and psychological stressors adversely impact personal well-be...

We investigate the resiliency of the Internet at the Autonomous System (AS) level to failures and attacks, under the real constraint of business agreements between the ASs. The agreements impose policies that govern routing in the AS level, and thus the resulting topology graph is directed, and does not maintain transitivity. We show, using partial views obtained from the Internet, that the Int...

Network resiliency has become crucial as the failure of a group of networks happens more frequently, being caused by either natural disasters or malicious attacks. In order to enhance the resiliency of the Internet, we show that changing the evolving strategy is more important than increasing the number of links by multihoming, which connects a single network with two or more links. From the si...

Job scheduling and resource management plays an essential role in high-performance computing. Supercomputing resources are usually managed by a batch system, which is responsible for the effective mapping of jobs onto resources (i.e., compute nodes). From the system perspective, a batch system must ensure high system utilization and throughput, while from the user perspective it must ensure fas...

Ego-resiliency (ER) is a capacity that enables individuals to adapt to constantly changing environmental demands. The goal of our research was to identify components of Ego-resiliency, and to test the reliability and the structural and convergent validity of the refined version of the ER11 Ego-resiliency scale. In Study 1 we used a factor analytical approach to assess structural validity and to...

Computing a user-task assignment for a workflow coming with probabilistic user availability provides a measure of completion rate or resiliency. To a workflow designer this indicates a risk of failure, especially useful for workflows which cannot be changed due to rigid security constraints. Furthermore, resiliency can help outline a mitigation strategy which states actions that can be performe...

As opposed to the problem-based approach of dealing with specific at-risk behaviors, the objective of the self-reported Youth Resiliency: Assessing Developmental Strengths questionnaire is to provide a statistically sound and research-based approach to understanding the factors that contribute to the development of adolescent resiliency. The study of protective factors, or the more recent attem...

BACKGROUND Cancer detection always has a lot of stress and nervousness which, apart from physical injuries, will affect quality of life. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between resiliency and quality of life by moderating the role of duration of awareness of cancer. METHODS Population of the study included all patients with cancer who were under treatment in Yazd For...
