This thesis addresses the job scheduling problem for heterogeneous supercomputers where accelerators such as GPGPUs or co-processors are employed. On homogeneous supercomputers, the problem of scheduling user jobs to the ...

Heterogenous networks are resorted as one of the most promising ways formeetingthe rapidly increasing data demand. As the smallest members of heterogenous networks, femto base stations also carry a huge potential for ...

Cash related costs constitute a large portion of management cost of an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) network. Cash should be loaded to or taken from ATM devices in certain intervals in order to both meet customer satisfaction ...

Purchasing cost uncertainty in the future subject to exchange rate fluctuation is modeled as a markov chain transition matrix, and it is combined with supply chain profit maximization problem. This problem is modeled as a ...

The extent of K-dominant region around the crack tip of a functionally graded plate under mixed mode loading is investigated. A center cracked plate is used for the study. The stress intensity factors and T-stresses are ...

In this work, the syntheses of three new peptides (XXIV-Xxvr, Table 2.2) , each containing 39 amino acids, are reported. N-t-butyloxy-carbonyl-p-choloro-L-phenylalanine (XXVIIa) and N-t-htyloxycarbmyl-L-2- aminoheptanoic ...

Retrieval of spoken content is one key endeavor, not only for finding the speech parts of interest, but also for an automated and facilitated speech mining towards better automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems. In ...

First, multibody dynamics model of the occupant compartment is built using a commercial software, Madymo. Occupant results from Madymo model are compared to sled test results and Madymo model is calibrated to better simulate ...

In this thesis, the kinetic modeling of CO oxidation was performed using genetic programming. A reaction rate equation was created from the experimental data, and then this equation was used to predict the mechanism of the ...
