Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Great Deluge Algorithm with Bi-Decay Rate for Efficient Task Scheduling in Grid ComputingKaiLun Eng, Abdullah Muhammed, Sazlinah Hasan, Mohamad Afendee MohamedTo realise the utmost idea of global collaborative resource sharing with Grid computing, the fundamental scheduling process is playing a critical role. However, scheduling in Grid computing environment is a well-known NP-complete problem. In this study, we propose a new extension of Great Deluge algorithm with an effective diversification strategy for the Grid scheduling problem. The proposed approach, namely BiGD, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 7 Mar 2019 · 7,720 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Influence of the Climatic Factors on the Decay of Marbles: an Experimental StudyPaola Marini, Rossana BellopedeStone decay is affected by the influence of climatic factors. In particular marble degradation, that could be expressed by decohesion and /or bowing, is mainly due to the action of temperature and water (rains and relative humidity). In this work non destructive and destructive tests have been performed to evaluate the decay of marble slabs subjected both to natural exposition … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,123 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsData Preparation in Machine Learning for Condition-based MaintenanceOns Masmoudi, Mehdi Jaoua, Amel Jaoua, Soumaya YacoutUsing Machine Learning (ML) prediction to achieve a successful, cost-effective, Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) strategy has become very attractive in the context of Industry 4.0. In other fields, it is well known that in order to benefit from the prediction capability of ML algorithms, the data preparation phase must be well conducted. Thus, the objective of this paper is to investigate … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 17, Issue 6 · 4 Jun 2021 · 8,412 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsWhite Light Generation in Dy3+-Doped Sodium Lead Alumino Borosilicate Glasses for W-LED ApplicationsK. Vijaya Babu, A. Subba Rao, V. Madhuri, K. SureshExcitation and emission spectra of sodium lead alumino borosilicate glass doped with different concentrations of Dy3+ have been reported. The concentration of Dy3+ were varied from 0.5 to 1.5 mol%. As a result of 385 nm excitation wavelength, the luminescence spectra showed three characteristic bands at 482 nm and 575 nm and 665 nm. These absorption bands were attributed to … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 3 Jun 2020 · 6,857 accessesView PDFCite
