Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Stochastic Approach to Blood Supply, Demand and Screening in Central Blood Banks - A ReviewShaul K. Bar-LevOne of the major issues in securing blood supply to patients worldwide is to provide blood of the best achievable quality, in the needed quantities. Central Blood Services (CBS’s) worldwide are daily faced with the problem how to satisfy demands for blood from various hospitals. These hospitals, in their turn, are faced with the problem how to satisfy demands for … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 26 Oct 2017 · 8,074 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Conceptual Model for Risk Allocation in the Construction IndustryChipozya Kosta Tembo-Silungwe, Nthatisi KhatleliAppropriate risk allocation influences positive project delivery on construction projects while inappropriate allocation results in disputes, quality shortfalls, time and cost overruns. The existing body of knowledge provides guides on how risks should be allocated between the contracting parties. Nevertheless, the full appreciation of risks allocation is rarely given as risk allocation is more than just which party should bear … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 7 · 26 Jun 2017 · 8,948 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficient Multipath Routing and Wavelength Allocation Using Traffic Grooming in Optical Wavelength Division Multiplexing Mesh NetworksV. Rajamani, T. KavithaIn optical WDM mesh networks, traffic grooming is essential in order to utilize the bandwidth efficiently to minimize the cost and meet the user service requirement. By grooming traffic, it is possible to reduce the total cost of all Add drop multiplexer needed. Also for the high processing capability in a WDM network, the path should be capable of carrying … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 19 Sep 2012 · 6,525 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamic Scheduling for Cloud Reliability using Transportation ProblemS. K. Senthil Kumar, P. BalasubramanieProblem statement: Cloud is purely a dynamic environment and the existing task scheduling algorithms are mostly static and considered various parameters like time, cost, make span, speed, scalability, throughput, resource utilization, scheduling success rate and so on. Available scheduling algorithms are mostly heuristic in nature and more complex, time consuming and does not consider reliability and availability of the cloud … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 23 Aug 2012 · 8,340 accessesView PDFCite
