Drivers of individual plant species contributions to β‐diversity are scale‐dependent

Oikos, EarlyView.
Species introductions and local extinctions of native species are driving biotic homogenisation in plant communities by reducing β‐diversity. Individual species vary in their contributions to β‐diversity (species contribution to β‐diversity; species‐β), yet our understanding of how species characteristics shape these contributions remains limited ...

SLA-Aware Best Fit Decreasing Techniques for Workload Consolidation in Clouds

IEEE Access, 2019
Cloud computing emerged as one of the leading computational paradigms due to elastic resource provisioning and pay-as-you-go model. Large data centers are used by the service providers to host the various services.

Comparing the Applicability of State‐Of‐The‐Art Photopolymer Injection Molds Printed by Multi‐Material Jetting and High‐Performance Digital Light Processing

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
The workflow of comparing state‐of‐the‐art photopolymers in rapid tooling. ABSTRACT Additive manufacturing (AM) introduced the concept of layer‐by‐layer manufacturing, which allows the fast and direct production of parts. Additive technologies are also hybridized with conventional polymer processing technologies.

Dynamic service provisioning using GRIA SLAs

, 2007
Service Level Agreements (SLA) include quality of service (QoS) constraints and bounds that have to be honoured by the service provider. To maximise the Service Provider revenue while satisfying the QoS requirements of the agreed SLAs it is important to ...

Biosurfactant production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from mining waste: From genomic analysis to development of a polymeric composite for removal of hexavalent chromium

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Biosurfactant was produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa using andiroba waste from Amazonia. A biosurfactant–alginate composite (Alg/BioS) was successfully synthesized via ionotropic gelation, and achieved up to 70% Cr6+ removal from water. Abstract Environmental contamination by heavy metals represents a significant challenge due to their persistence in ...

Distributed, asynchronous algorithms for network control with contracted flow rates – a review

Journal of Telecommunications and Information Technology, 2006
The paper reviews current algorithms for distributed, asynchronous control of networks when the customer is guaranteed to get some predetermined (e.g., as a part of a service level agreement – SLA) values of flow.

Made in the shade: Leaf responses of native wildflowers to single‐axis photovoltaic solar energy

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
As solar energy expands globally, balancing renewable power generation with biodiversity and ecosystem health has become an urgent challenge. This study investigated how native wildflowers respond at leaf level to the unique microclimates created by rotating solar panels in California's Central Valley.

Weeds in a changing climate: Competitors or service plants?

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Reducing herbicide use and preparing agroecosystems for climate change are two top priorities on the global policy agenda. Here, we explore whether these two challenges can be tackled simultaneously. While weeds are generally considered a threat to crop production, we show that weeds can help overcome climate change challenges in agroecosystems ...
