A general multi-resource network with users requiring service from a number of shared resources simultaneously is considered. It is demonstrated that the Shortest Remaining Processing Time (SRPT) service protocol minimizes, in a suitable sense, the system resource idleness with respect to customers with residual service times not greater than any threshold value on every network route. Our arguments are pathwise, with no assumptions on the model stochastic primitives and the network topology.

Temporal Differencing

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a procedure for finding unusual patterns in accredited tests using a rapid processing method for analyzing video records. The procedure uses the temporal differencing technique for object tracking and considers only frames not identified as statistically redundant. Design/methodology/approach An accreditation organization is responsible for accrediting facilities to undertake testing and calibration activities. Periodically, such organizations evaluate accredited testing facilities. These evaluations could use video records and photographs of the tests performed by the facility to judge their conformity to technical requirements. To validate the proposed procedure, a real-world data set with video records from accredited testing facilities in the field of vehicle safety in Brazil was used. The processing time of this proposed procedure was compared with the time needed to process the video records in a traditional fashion. Findings With an appropriate threshold value, the proposed procedure could successfully identify video records of fraudulent services. Processing time was faster than when a traditional method was employed. Originality/value Manually evaluating video records is time consuming and tedious. This paper proposes a procedure to rapidly find unusual patterns in videos of accredited tests with a minimum of manual effort.

Abstract Motivated by an application to resource sharing network modelling, we consider a problem of greedy maximization (i.e., maximization of the consecutive minima) of a vector in $${\mathbb {R}}^n$$ R n , with the admissible set indexed by the time parameter. The structure of the constraints depends on the underlying network topology. We investigate continuity and monotonicity of the resulting maximizers with respect to time. Our results have important consequences for fluid models of the corresponding networks which are optimal, in the appropriate sense, with respect to handling real-time transmission requests.

Academic Resources

Purpose – A number of subject-orientated and general websites have emerged to host academic resources. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the uptake of such services in order to decide which depositing strategies are effective and should be encouraged. Design/methodology/approach – This paper evaluates the views and shares of resources in the generic repository Figshare by subject category and resource type. Findings – Figshare use and common resource types vary substantially by subject category but resources can be highly viewed even in subjects with few members. More active subject areas do not tend to have more viewed or shared resources. Research limitations/implications – The view counts and share counts analysed may reflect author accesses or may be spammed. Practical implications – Limited uptake of Figshare within a subject area should not be a barrier to its use. Several highly successful innovative uses for Figshare show that it can reach beyond a purely academic audience. Originality/value – This is the first analysis of the uptake and use of a generic academic resource sharing repository.

In this paper, we introduced a scientific computing environment for Internet-Oriented computing resource sharing, abbreviate ISCEs, which is a high-performance computing environment that allows users to write and evaluate parallel distributed applications for different hardware and software configurations using a web interface. We described the software architecture of ISCEs by emphasizing Application editor, Application Scheduling Components, and Application execution/runtime modules. ISCEs is efficient which is strongly supported by the time measurement scheduling polices. The system resource monitoring can also benefit a lot from the Application execution/runtime modules. The results obtained from performance analysis show that Scalability and Speedup of ISCEs was good.

Innovation And Entrepreneurship

As a popular education major at present, e-commerce and innovation and entrepreneurship education are combined with research that has important strategic significance for talents. In the process of the coordinated development of the two, the sharing of educational resources is the core issue. For this reason, an e-commerce professional innovation and entrepreneurship education resource sharing platform has been constructed. The platform is divided into three hierarchical structures of resource layer, middle layer, and application layer, and detailed analysis is performed on the key modules in the construction of the educational resource sharing platform, including user login module, educational resource management module, system management module, and database design module; based on modular design, after logging in to the system, users can independently publish educational information and can also browse and retrieve shared resources. Experimental results show that the platform has a good operating effect, strong load capacity, rapid response of the system, and high safety performance, with a maximum safety of 97%.

While men’s sexual violence against women is unarguably a social and public health issue, both nationally representative data and smaller studies tell us that rates for LGBTQ+ individuals are equally or significantly higher. Despite this, there remains little structural support for LGBTQ+ survivors. This paper highlights the voices of 38 QTPOC-identified (queer and trans people of color) Southerners who have experienced sexual violence and came together across three focus groups to detail recount their interactions with advocates and other professionals and explore post-traumatic needs. Nearly all survivors reported that the level of awareness regarding sexual violence in their communities was limited, with most reporting that they did not successfully access mainstream services, due to concerns about homophobia, transphobia, and racism. To address sexual violence in LGBTQ+ communities, survivors pointed to the importance of friendship and community networks “outside the system,” resource sharing about non-heteronormative violence tactics, and holding batterers accountable for their behavior within LGBTQ+ circles. Findings highlight the need to move beyond “culturally competent” health care by proactively engaging LGBTQ+ communities in education, networking, resource sharing, and anti-violence outreach.

Hierarchy Process

Bread is considered as a prime item of cereal intake globally. Due to the rising public health concerns and their dietary needs, importance of identifying the factors in bread making, and taking necessary action plans can hardly be overemphasized. Moreover, to be competitive in business it is crucial for any bread maker to address the manufacturing factors or attributes to reduce the rejection level due to poor quality. This study makes an attempt to identify those attributes and rank them through application of analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The questionnaire is prepared to judge the ranking of initially identified five prime attributes such as ingredient quality, processing time and procedure, environment and workers’ skill. The responses by the manager, supervisor, line leader and quality control inspector on pair-wise comparison scale are collected and analyzed by using Expert Choice software along with the verification of inconsistency value. According to the results, quality of ingredient is ranked first followed by the processing time of the bread, production procedure, worker’s skill, and production environment. Since the inconsistency level is found to be below the threshold value, policies can be adopted safely in accordance with the ranking of factors to uphold the quality of bread and reduce the rejection level.
