Rotating machinery, including machining spindles, industrial turbomachinery, and aircraft gas turbine engines, are very commonly used in industry. One major problem faced by these machineries is the harmful, imbalance-induced vibration. Many methods have been developed to reduce this vibration: o!-line balancing methods [1], on-line active balancing methods using mass redistribution devices [2}...

High energy consumption is led due to the various IT infrastructures, electrical equipment and the randomness jobs will be present on the computing nodes. To handle with the randomness nature of the tasks, the computing nodes will be power on all the time because the jobs will be incoming in any of the time for processing, which leads to the high energy produced. This paper presented a proposed...

Load balancing faces new challenges in the framework of autonomic servers deployed in data centers. With traditional push-based strategies, the authoritative decision is made by the load balancer, which decides to which server the requests are forwarded. However, the autonomy of servers is often incompatible with these strategies, as they may accept or refuse to process a request on a voluntary...

We generated FM7a and CyO balancer chromosomes bearing a Tubby1 (Tb1) dominant transgene. Flies heterozygous for these FM7a and CyO derivatives exhibit a phenotype undistinguishable from that elicited by the Tb1 mutation associated with the TM6B balancer. We tested two of these Tb-bearing balancers (FM7-TbA and CyO-TbA) for more than 30 generations and found that the Tb1 transgene they carry is...

Abstract Commercial liberalism would suggest that whereas globalization was conducive to great power cooperation—or at least moderated competition—deglobalization is likely ignite greater competition amongst the Great Powers. In reality, however, picture much more complex. To begin with, intense of 1990s and 2000s not responsible for moderating Power tensions; instead, it itself a product secur...

We constructed green fluorescent protein (GFP)-expressing balancer chromosomes for each of the three major chromosomes of Drosophila melanogaster. Expression of GFP in these chromosomes is driven indirectly by a Kruppel (Kr) promoter, via the yeast GAL4-UAS regulatory system. GFP fluorescence can be seen in embryos as early as the germ band extension stage, and can also be seen in larvae, pupae...

Thecrisis in Ukraine has become a tragedy, as is evidenced by the thousands ofpeople who have been killed, and hundreds of thousands of refugees. It willalter the future of Ukraine, Europe, Eurasia and possibly the world. The crisisbegan in the fall of 2013 as a public response to the authorities’ ill-advisedpolicy and the greed of the elite. However, clumsy assistance provided byconcerned «par...
