Dynamic Task Scheduling onto Heterogeneous Machines Using Support Vector Machine
(2008-05-15)
Distributed computing has been used to overcome the limitations of single computer use. However, the benefit of parallelizing computations may substantially reduce, if there is no well constructed mechanism to coordinate ...
Dynamical Behavior of Nonautonomous and Stochastic HBV Infection Model
(2020-12-04)
Mathematical modeling of population and transmission dynamics of an infectious disease considered a critical theoretical epidemiology method provides a strong understanding of the virus dynamics. This dissertation studies ...
Dynamically Adjustable Software Process
(2016-12-09)
Industry experience shows that the quality of a software product is directly related to the quality of the software process used to produce it. Software process can rarely be used out of the box. Project types, scopes and ...
Dynamics and Control of Satellite Relative Motion in Elliptic Orbits using Lyapunov-Floquet Theory
(2013-04-23)
Rendezvous and proximity operations involving satellites operating near each other have been performed since the Gemini missions. A better understanding of the dynamics of satellites in close proximity could be helpful ...
Dynamics and Optimal Control of the Growth of the Gut Microbiome with Varying Nutrient
(2023-07-27)
The human gut microbiome consists of all the microbes that make up the human intestinal tract, and many diseases are associated with certain microbial compositions in the gut. First, a mathematical model describing the ...
Dynamics and Synthesis of Kinematic Chains with Impact and Clearance
(2005-05-15)
The dynamics and synthesis of open and closed kinematic chains with frictional impact and joint clearance is studied.
