Aggregate VM: Why Reduce or Evict VM's Resources When You Can Borrow Them From Other Nodes?
(ACM, 2023-05-08)Hardware resource fragmentation is a common issue in data centers. Traditional solutions based on migration or overcommitment are unacceptably slow, and modern commercial or research solutions like Spot VM may reduce or ... -
DyTIS: A Dynamic Dataset Targeted Index Structure Simultaneously Efficient for Search, Insert, and Scan
(ACM, 2023-05-08)Many datasets in real life are complex and dynamic, that is, their key densities are varied over the whole key space and their key distributions change over time. It is challenging for an index structure to efficiently ... -
Remote Perception Attacks against Camera-based Object Recognition Systems and Countermeasures
(ACM, 2023)In vision-based object recognition systems imaging sensors perceive the environment and then objects are detected and classified for decision-making purposes; e.g., to maneuver an automated vehicle around an obstacle or ... -
Dimensioning Spectrum to Support Ultra-reliable Low Latency Communication
(IEEE, 2023-03-01)Industry-led initiatives such as the Next G Alliance are currently considering how to dimension the spectrum required to support new classes of services envisioned beyond 5G. In particular, support for ultra-reliable ... -
The Spatial Metaphors of Transfer
(Association of Teachers of Advanced Composition, 2023)While transfer remains the dominant yet controversial metaphor for describing how learning from one context affects learning in another, writing scholars propose numerous alternatives better aligned with current models of ... -
Failure mechanism, existing constitutive models and numerical modeling of landslides in sensitive clay: a review
(2023-05-26)Landslides involving sensitive clays are recurrent events in the world's northern regions and are especially notorious in eastern Canada. The two critical factors that separate sensitive clay landslides from traditional ... -
Assessing Variation in the Individual-Level Impacts of a Multihost Pathogen
(Hindawi, 2023-05-27)Most pathogens infect more than one host species, and given infection, the individual-level impact they have varies among host species. Nevertheless, variation in individual-level impacts of infection remains poorly ... -
A Discrete Choice Experiment to Elicit People’s Preferences for Semi-Arid Riparian Corridors: A Multinomial Logit Model
(2023-05)The aim of this study is to examine public preferences for urban riparian corridors in arid regions using simulation and visual quality analysis scenarios. Ecological landscapes are often subject to trade-offs with aesthetic ... -
How Virtual Reality Renderings Impact Scale and Distance Perception Compared to Traditional Representation
(Wichmann Verlag, 2023-05)Spatial scale and distance are essential attributes of physical space in landscape design. Individuals’ perceptions of spatial scale and distance reflect how well they understand a space, and decides how they design the ... -
Longitudinal Water Pollution Monitoring and Retention Pond Capacity Assessment Using Smart Devices
(Wichmann Verlag, 2023-05)This study experiment uses low-cost smart devices to longitudinally monitor the level of common water pollutants, such as electrical conductivity (EC) and total dissolved solids (TDS), in a retention pond, and assess and ... -
Crop, Host, and Gut Microbiome Variation Influence Precision Nutrition: An Example of Blueberries
(MDPI, 2023-05-22)Epidemiological studies have shown associations between polyphenol-rich fruit intake and bone health, and preclinical studies have shown that blueberries improve bone health. To determine the genotype and dose of blueberries ... -
Yield, Nutritional Composition, and In Vitro Ruminal Digestibility of Conventional and Brown Midrib (BMR) Corn for Silage as Affected by Planting Population and Harvest Maturity
(MDPI, 2023-05-20)The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of corn-planting population, using two conventional (Conv) and two brown-midrib (BMR) hybrids, and maturity stage at harvest on forage dry-matter (DM) yield, silage ... -
Efficiency of Interferon-γ in Activating Dendritic Cells and Its Potential Synergy with Toll-like Receptor Agonists
(MDPI, 2023-05-19)Interferon-γ (IFN-γ) is a cytokine that plays an important role in immune regulation, especially in the activation and differentiation of immune cells. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a family of pattern-recognition ... -
