Slack is pervasive in runs of high performance applications, in the presence of various performance boosting solutions. The presence of slack provides ample opportunities for achieving energy efficiency for high performance computing nowadays. Regardless of communication slack, classic energy saving approaches for saving energy during the slack otherwise include race-to-halt and CP-aware slack ...

Human mutations in the cytoplasmic C-terminal domain of Slack sodium-activated potassium (KNa) channels result in childhood epilepsy with severe intellectual disability. Slack currents can be increased by pharmacological activators or by phosphorylation of a Slack C-terminal residue by protein kinase C. Using an optical biosensor assay, we find that Slack channel stimulation in neurons or trans...

This work presents a novel slack management technique, the ’Service Rate Proportionate(SRP) Slack Distribution’, for real-time distributed embedded systems to reduce energy consumption. The proposed SRP based Slack Distribution Technique has been considered with EDF and Rate Based scheduling schemes that are most commonly used with embedded systems. A fault tolerance mechanism has also been inc...

We investigate the dependence of transmission losses on the choice of a slack bus in high voltage AC transmission networks. We formulate a transmission loss minimization problem in terms of slack variables representing the additional power injection that each generator provides to compensate the transmission losses. We show analytically that for transmission lines having small, homogeneous resi...

Slack (Slo2.2) is a sodium-activated potassium channel that regulates neuronal firing activities and patterns. Previous studies identified Slack in sensory neurons, but its contribution to acute and chronic pain in vivo remains elusive. Here we generated global and sensory neuron-specific Slack mutant mice and analyzed their behavior in various animal models of pain. Global ablation of Slack le...

A mixture experiment is one where the response depends only on the relative proportions of the ingredients present in the mixture. There are different regression models used to analyze mixture experiments, such as Scheffé model, slack-variable model, and Kronecker model. Interestingly, slack-variable model is the most popular one among practitioners, especially formulators. In this paper, I wan...

O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar o cenário da produção científica sobre a folga orçamentária. A tipologia utilizada é uma revisão sistemática literatura conduzida conforme metodologia Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviewsand Meta-Analyses (PRISMA), que consiste em lista de itens serem seguidos como protocolo (Moher et al., 2009). partir disso, realizou-se busca nas bases dados We...

Redundancy is the traditional technique used to increase system reliability. With modern technology, in addition to being used as temporal redundancy, slack time can also be used by energy management schemes to scale down system processing speed and supply voltage to save energy. In this paper, we consider a system that consists of multiple servers for providing reliable service. Assuming that ...

S lack can act as a double-edged sword. While it can buffer against environmental threats to help ensure business continuity, slack can also be costly and reduce profitability. In this study we focus on operational slack, the form related to the firm’s production processes. We investigate the role of operational slack on firm survival during its venture stage when its survival is significantly ...
