An efficient resource allocation scheme plays a vital role in scheduling applications on high-performance computing resources in order to achieve desired level of service. The major part of the existing literature on resource allocation is covered by the real-time services having timing constraints as primary parameter. Resource allocation schemes

Hierarchical interconnection networks provide high performance at low cost by exploring the locality that exists in the communication patterns of massively parallel computers. A Symmetric Tori connected Torus Network (STTN) is a 2D-torus network of multiple basic modules, in which the basic modules are 2D-torus networks that are hierarchically inte

A Modified Hierarchical 3D-Torus (MH3DT) network is a 3D-torus network consists of multiple basic modules, in which each basic module itself is a 3D-torus network. Dynamic communication performance has been evaluated using dimension-order routing and $2$ virtual channels (VCs) under uniform traffic patterns but not under non-uniform traffic pattern

A preparation and modification of activated carbon from oil-palm shell has been investigated in this paper. A pretreatment method has been established to avoid partial fusion and swelling in the carbonization stage. Carbonization has been studied at different temperatures and the structure of the microporous chars has been characterized. Activated

This study made an attempt to explore professional role orientation of schoolteacher in Bangladesh in terms of their professional performance and motivation.

Inclusion of autistic children in the regular educational setting becomes an issue in contemporary discourses on early childhood education. As the enrolment rate of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is increasing each year, it becomes crucial for the architects to rethink about their approaches to design inclusive educational l

Global warming and its disasters environmental and economic effects are considered as one of the major challenges that mankind will face during this century. Therefore, green technologies are very needed nowadays to reduce global warming. The smart device proposed in this chapter can help environment in reducing carbon footprint and save energy con

This is a theoretical paper based on review of theories on the sociology of professions. This study analyses the contributions of western scholars over the years in the area of professionalization of occupations. The paper argues that main western ‘traditions’ in the sociology of professions have narrowly mapped the conceptions ‘profession’

This paper advances a framework for designing a social research particularly targeting the graduate students who seek assistance in preparing their research proposal, collect data for a scholarly journal article, dissertation, or thesis. However, terms are explained and recommended strategies are advanced in a holistic manner within the context of

This study aimed at providing insights on TM investment and its significance in fulfilling Maqasid-al-Shariah in the context of Malaysia. Two sets of hypotheses were formulated to test first, whether a significant difference exists in the intention to invest TM, and second, the causal relationship between TM investment and economic development indi
