Fog node (FN) close to Internet of Things (IoT) devices can be exploited offload the computing task IoT devices. However, when lots tasks are simultaneously offloaded from multiple devices, FN overloaded. To mitigate this problem, we introduce a DYSON: DelaYed offloading System with Opportunistic fog Node (OFN) such as vehicles and mobile phones which opportunistically reduce load static thanks...

In this paper, stochastic comparisons for k -out-ofN ( F ) system with random numbers of identical components are studied. The lifetime of k -out-ofN ( F ) system corresponds to the kth order statistic of random numbers of independent identically distributed random variables. Characterizations based on some stochastic orders, for example, star order, hazard rate order and reversed hazard order ...

A new form of nystagmus is described in this paper: optic flow induced nystagmus (OFN). Optic field flow, for example when driving or viewing films on a large screen, triggered non-fatiguable upbeat nystagmus. This type of nystagmus could not be induced by vestibular stimuli, positioning, or self motion. The aetiology and anatomical correlate of OFN remains unknown. Treatment with gabapentin su...

Many organizations have introduced various ICT-enabled innovations to improve economic, environmental and social performance. The Open Food Network (OFN) is an example of an ICT-enabled innovation that has the potential to enhance the sustainability of regional food supply chain by improving farmers’ access to local and regional markets and consumers’ access to fresh local produce, as well as o...

A novel actinomycete, strain OFN S31(T), was isolated from a complex biofilm in the Altamira Cave, Spain. A polyphasic study was carried out to clarify the taxonomic position of this strain. Phylogenetic analysis with 16S rRNA gene sequences of representatives of the genera Corynebacterium, Dietzia, Gordonia, Millisia, Mycobacterium, Nocardia, Rhodococcus, Segniliparus, Skermania, Tsukamurella ...

A novel actinomycete strain, OFN S17(T), was isolated from a sample collected from Altamira Cave, Cantabria, Spain. This strain was identified by using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. The 16S rRNA, hsp65 and sod gene sequences of the strain were determined and compared with those of representative Nocardia species. The results showed that strain OFN S17(T) should be assigned to the genus Nocar...

Ordered fuzzy numbers (OFN) invented by the second author and his two coworkers in 2002 make possible to utilize the fuzzy arithmetic and to construct the Abelian group of fuzzy numbers and then an ordered ring. The definition of OFN uses the extension of the parametric representation of convex fuzzy numbers. Fuzzy implication is proposed with the help of algebraic operations and a lattice stru...

Uncertain random variables provide a tool to deal with phenomena in which uncertainty and randomness simultaneously exist. This paper proposes a concept of value-at-risk to quantify the risk of an uncertain random system. In addition, a value-at-risk theorem is proved in order to calculate the value-at-risk, and is applied to series systems, parallel system, k -out-ofn system, standby system, a...

Integrin-mediated cell-matrix interactions play an important role in osteogenesis. Here, we constructed a novel osteoinductive fibronectin matrix protein (oFN) for bone tissue engineering, designed to combine the integrin-binding modules from fibronectin (iFN) and a strong osteoinductive growth factor, bone morphogenetic protein-2. Compared with iFN, the purified oFN matrix protein caused a sig...

The general goal of the research in this article is to devise an artificial neural network that requires less computational power than ordinary one for assessing overall life satisfaction—a term often referred as quality (QoL). development mentioned ANN was possible due application fuzzy logic, especially ordered numbers (OFN). Research on appliance OFN aims at different issues such detection a...
