Selection for Body Weight in Chickens: Resource Allocations and Scaling
Evaluated were correlated responses to 54-generations of divergent selection for 8-week body weight (BW) and of BW at other ages and reproductive traits. Evaluated first was the influence of scaling on phenotypic responses to selection, phenotypic correlations of means and standard deviations, and …

Incremental effects of ESEA Title I resources on student achievement
… achievement or of the effects of instructional resource allocations on student reading achievement. This evidence has been obscured by methodological flaws, instrumentation problems, a continued focus on national rather than local-level evaluation, and the investigation of resource variables …

Design and performance of resource allocation mechanisms for network slicing
… deployment costs, and the challenge of managing resource allocations among multiple tenants serving possibly mobile diverse customers. When designing shared radio resource allocation mechanisms, it is as important to provide tenants with customization and isolation guarantees, as it is to achieve …

Auto-Scaling Containerized Microservice Applications
… application owners typically prefer to allocate resources efficiently using containerization technology so that operational costs are kept low. These two requirements are typically implemented within an auto-scaler module. The third requirement, unique to microservice applications, is the need …

Autonomic management of virtualized resources in cloud computing
… on the effective management of virtualized resources. A key requirement of cloud management is the ability to dynamically match resource allocations to actual demands, To this end, we aim to design and implement a cloud resource management mechanism that manages underlying complexity, …

Three Essays in Population Economics
… focused on household decision-making and resource allocations. In this dissertation, I fill the gap in the literature by focusing on aging parents and their adult children, that are not necessarily coresiding with them in the same housing unit, to study how family members share …

Costs Analysis and the Role of Heuristics in Fairness
… affect people’s fairness decision-making during resource allocations, how cost/benefit ratios affect people’s emotions and cognition when they receive fair or unfair treatments, whether people are intuitively selfish or fair, and how cost/benefit ratios of sharing affect it. To address these …

A Comparison of artificial intelligence algorithms for dynamic power allocation in flexible high throughput satellites
The Dynamic Resource Management (DRM) problem in the context of multibeam satellite communications is becoming more relevant than ever. The future landscape of the industry will be defined by a substantial increase in demand alongside the introduction of digital and highly flexible payloads able to …

Democratizing plant biodiversity data with coefficients of conservatism for the vascular flora of Tennessee and Kentucky
… ecoregion; however, this can be difficult due to resource allocations, and therefore it is more common to apply c-values at the state level. Tennessee and Kentucky (TNKY) share many native species and ecoregions and lacked published c-values, putting TNKY in a prime position for combined c-value …

Scheduling in multiple processor real-time systems.
… of the RTS (processes, due dates, activity-to-resource allocations with activity execution times) and selection of different activity scheduling schemes (first-come first-served, earliest due date, shortest activity first, etc. ...). Statistics, such as response execution times, waiting times …

Henge: An intent-driven scheduler for multi-tenant stream processing
… to meet jobs’ SLOs in spite of limited cluster resources, and under dynamic input workloads. SLOs are soft and are based on utility functions. Henge continually tracks SLO satisfaction, and when jobs miss their SLOs, it wisely navigates the state space to perform resource allocations in real …

IT investments and firm performance across economies
… performance measures. Evidence indicates that IT resource allocations, in the form of investment in specific IT asset classes and IT capabilities of the firm, may play an important role in explaining the variations. A monolithic view of firm's total IT investment is not sufficient to explain the …

A microcomputer model for assessing the relative risks and vulnerabilities of streets and jurisdictions to the shipment of hazardous materials
… comprehensive planning of transportation systems resource allocations and operating regulations so as to minimize the danger to localities from hazardous materials shipments is a growing concern among transportation planners. Standing in their way are a number of difficulties inherent in the data …

Traffic Safety Investigations for Local Agencies
… cities may not be allocating the proper level of resources, or operating under the proper administrative methodologies to adequately address these safety issues. This research finds that on average, California cities are experiencing increasing annual collision rates. In particular, small cities …
