Photosynthesis captures light energy to produce ATP and NADPH. These molecules are consumed in the conversion of CO2 to sugar, photorespiration, and NO3(-) assimilation. The production and consumption of ATP and NADPH must be balanced to prevent photoinhibition or photodamage. This balancing may occur via cyclic electron flow around photosystem I (CEF), which increases ATP/NADPH production duri...

A flow balancing problem consists of sizing restrictions on branches a fluid system to match desired rates each branch. The is rarely trivial as parallel routinely contain many components with nonlinear pressure loss characteristics each. This paper introduces the Physics-based Solving capabilities implemented in Modelon Liquid Cooling library. new capability enables conveniently solving such p...

In this note we consider the following problem to study the effect of malicious players on the social optimum in load balancing games: Consider two players SOC and MAL controlling (1 − α) and α fraction of the flow in a load balancing game. SOC tries to minimize the total cost faced by her players while MAL tries to maximize the same. If the latencies are linear, we show that this 2-player zero...

Numerous works has been done for load balancing of web servers in grid environment. Reason behinds popularity of grid environment is to allow accessing distributed resources which are located at remote locations. For effective utilization, load must be balanced among all resources. Importance of load balancing is discussed by distinguishing the system between without load balancing and with loa...

In this paper we propose the application of Pareto ant colony optimization (PACO) in solving a bi-objective capacitated vehicle routing problem with route balancing (CVRPRB). The objectives of the problem are minimization of the tour length and balancing the routes. We propose PACO as our response to the deficiency of the Pareto-based local search (P-LS) approach which we also developed to solv...

Efficient load balancing algorithms are the key to many efficient parallel applications. Until now, research in this area has mainly been focusing on homogeneous schemes. However, observations show that the convergence rate of diffusion algorithms can be improved using edge weighted graphs without deteriorating the flows quality. In this paper we consider common interconnection topologies and d...
