Distributed computing for the reconstruction of multi‐terabyte tomographic X‐ray imaging datasets

Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, EarlyView.
As tomographic datasets from synchrotrons continue to increase in volume, so rises the challenge of reconstructing said data. Here we present a solution utilizing high‐performance computing capabilities to split the process into multiple smaller tasks, which can be solved without overwhelming a single compute node.

Climate Change and (Mal)Adaptation in Tourism‐Intensive Alpine Regions

The Political Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Tourism, especially in winter, accounts for a large share of economic income in Alpine regions. At the same time, these regions are more severely affected by climate change, leading to shorter winter seasons and reduced snow cover. This presents a pressing issue for areas reliant on income from winter tourism through activities such as skiing.

BBFuzz: A protocol fuzzing tool combined with input structure-aware

四川大学学报. 自然科学版
Almost all of the systems which need communication are inseparable from protocol design. If the protocol stack is vulnerable, attackers can achieve denial of service attack, data theft and even remote code execution via Zero-Click.

RESTLESS BANDIT MARGINAL PRODUCTIVITY INDICES I: SINGLEPROJECT CASE AND OPTIMAL CONTROL OF A MAKE-TO-STOCK M/G/1 QUEUE [PDF]

This paper develops a framework based on convex optimization and economic ideas to formulate and solve by an index policy the problem of optimal dynamic effort allocation to a generic discrete-state restless bandit (i.e. binary-action: work/rest) project,

The Gender of Fossil Fuels: Oil and Domestic Perils in Mandate Palestine

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article explores the gender dynamics behind the rise of kerosene – an oil derivative – as the main domestic fuel in Mandate Palestine. It argues that these dynamics were constitutive in determining who began to use oil, where and for what purposes, in turn demonstrating that women in Palestine were the promoters and targets of a campaign ...

Masculinity, Prostitution, and the Imaginary Northwest in Chinese Travel Writings About Shanxi and Western Inner Mongolia, 1920–1949

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article considers travel writings by metropolitan men in Republican China about Shanxi and western Inner Mongolia as a case study to further explore the transformations and continuities of Chinese masculinities. Drawing upon a range of popular travel narratives, it shows that so‐called “Worn‐Out Shoes (poxie)” – women perceived as ...

Dynamic server assignment in a two-queue model [PDF]

, 1995
We consider a polling model of two $M/G/1$ queues, served by a single server. The service policy for this polling model is of threshold type. Service at queue 1 is exhaustive. Service at queue 2 is exhaustive unless the size of queue 1 reaches some level

AUGURAL TERRITORIES: On the Prophetic Organizing of the Mid‐range

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article I introduce the concept of augural territories to theorize the urbanism that emerged during pandemic lockdowns. I draw on ethnographic research in Madrid to examine how community‐based responses—including mutual aid networks, food pantries and neighbourhood associations—disrupted the spatial and temporal logics of territorial ...

A single-server retrial queue system with multidimensional Poisson flow

, 2020
A single-server bufferless queue system with It independent Poisson input flows and arbitrary service distribution functions is investigated. A customer of any type denied service joins the queue afresh, retaining his type. Three modifications, viz., (1)
