The next generation of many-core enabled large-scale computing systems relies on thousands of billions of heterogeneous processing cores connected to form a single computing unit. In such large-scale computing environments, resource management is one of the most challenging, and complex issues for efficient resource…

The core of the computer business now offers subscription-based on-demand services with the help of cloud computing. We may now share resources among multiple users by using virtualization, which creates a virtual instance of a computer system running in an abstracted hardware layer. It provides infinite computing…

Resource allocation is one of the most critical issues in planning construction projects, due to its direct impact on cost, time, and quality. There are usually specific allocation methods for autonomous resource management according to the project's objectives. However, integrated planning and optimization of…

Management strategy evaluation (MSE) is a powerful tool for simulating all key aspects of natural resource management under conditions of uncertainty. We present the R package GMSE, which applies genetic algorithms to provide a genearalised tool for simulating adaptive decision-making management scenarios between…

The workload prediction and resource allocation significantly play an inevitable role in production of an efficient cloud environment. The proactive estimation of future workload followed by decision of resource allocation have become a prior solution to handle other in-built challenges like the under/overloading of…

The planning of human resources and the management of enterprises consider the organization’s size, the amount of effort put into operations, and the level of productivity. Inefficient allocation of resources in organizations due to skill-task misalignment lowers production and operational efficiency. This study…

Academics and practitioners have paid close attention to waste, energy, and resource management due to growing awareness of its effects on sustainable performance. This study aims to explore the status and challenges of efficient resource management in China, an under-researched area. Moreover, it proposes a…

This paper proposes a conceptual model for a secure and performance efficient workload management model in cloud environments. In this model, a resource management unit is employed for energy and performance proficient allocation of virtual machines while ensuring the secure processing of users' applications by…

China is increasingly facing water-related problems, such as water scarcity, pollution, and overexploitation of groundwater. This paper discusses the water status in China and claims that governance is the cause of water-related problems. The structure of the current water management is analyzed to conclude that the…

Nearly 50 years after Hardin’s “tragedy of the commons” we have not yet found predictive tools to guide us towards sustainable management of common-pool resources (CPR). We often have a good understanding of the qualitative relationships between the principal actors in socioecological systems (SESs), but classical…

Adaptive management addresses uncertainty about the processes influencing resource dynamics, as well as the elements of decision making itself. The use of management to reduce both kinds of uncertainty is known as double-loop learning. Though much work has been done on the theory and procedures to address structural…

Overexploitation of a shared resource is a frequent phenomenon among groups of selfish consumers, known as the ‘tragedy of the commons’. To avoid “self-damage through self-interest”, humans may either defend exclusive access to resources, or collectively adopt advanced cooperative behaviour and carefully designed…

All organisms utilize resources to grow, survive, and reproduce. The supply of these resources varies widely across landscapes and time, imposing ultimate constraints on the maximal trait values for allocation-related traits. Consequently, an impressive diversity of phenotypically plastic strategies evolves in response…

Wastewater solids management is a key contributor to the operational cost and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of water resource recovery facilities (WRRFs). This study proposes a ‘waste-to-energy’ strategy using a hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL)-based system to displace conventional energy- and emission-intensive…

The sustainability of renewable resource harvesting may be threatened by environmental and socioeconomic changes that induce tipping points. Here, we propose a synthetic harvesting model with a comprehensive set of socioecological factors that have not been explored together, including market price and stock value…

With the development of the digital economy and the sharp increase in economic information, a large amount of data needs to be processed. Therefore, the demand for an economic management information system is also increasing, but how to realize the allocation of data resources in the system has become an urgent problem…

Title: Highlights 1. • Dissipation is a concept increasingly considered in LCA/MFA/SFA/IO Analysis. 2. • We review the way resource dissipation is addressed in 45 life cycle-based studies. 3. • Major differences arise in the approaches to account for this concept. 4. • We provide a comprehensive definition of abiotic…

The design of genetic circuits typically relies on characterization of constituent modules in isolation to predict the behavior of modules’ composition. However, it has been shown that the behavior of a genetic module changes when other modules are in the cell due to competition for shared resources. In order to…

Existing plastic recycling infrastructure largely relies on mechanical recycling technologies, which are capable of processing only a small subset of waste plastics. Emerging chemical technologies can “upcycle” plastic waste by producing high-value products (e.g., olefins that can be used to produce virgin-grade…

The worldwide deficiency of clean water is common for both developed and developing countries. Current time reports claims, Municipal solid waste from India estimated to contribute 10% waste leakage to world’s rivers till 2020, according to study. Future scenarios where population growth is high, but urbanization slow…

The ability of modern agriculture to meet future food demand imposed by accelerating growth of the world’s population is a major challenge, and fertilizers play a key role by replacing nutrients in agricultural soil. Given the need for fertilizer, its costs in nonrenewable resources and energy, and the consequences of…

Background: Persistent, Mobile and Toxic (PMT), or very Persistent and very Mobile (vPvM) substances are a wide class of chemicals that are recalcitrant to degradation, easily transported, and potentially harmful to humans and the environment. Due to their persistence and mobility, these substances are often widespread…
