Machine Learning Models for Scheduling On-Demand Fog Placement and Optimizing Container Deployment by Farhat, Peter

“…However, due to the huge increase in the number of requests coming from end devices including IoT users, fog deployment and container placement must be scheduled to serve locations with high service requesting profiles while decreasing the cloud processing load. In this context, we first propose a fog placement model that allows to produce an adequate scheduling decision by using a hybrid technique combining time series forecasting and reinforcement learning. …”

DNA methylation signature in peripheral blood reveals distinct characteristics of human X chromosome numerical aberrations by El Maarri, Osman

“…Results DNA methylation changes were widespread on all autosomal chromosomes in 45,X and in 47,XXY individuals, with Turner individuals presenting five times more affected loci. Differentially methylated CpGs, in most cases, have intermediate methylation levels and tend to occur outside CpG islands, especially in individuals with Turner syndrome. …”

Optimum sizing of steam turbines for concentrated solar power plants by Poullikkas, Andreas

“…Thus, there is significant efficiency gains to be realized and large cost savings in increasing the turbine size up to 50MWe. Finally, although the cost of electricity of a CSP plant with capacities greater than 1MWe is significantly reduced to less than 1US$/kWh, currently such technology can only become economically viable through supporting schemes.…”
