For example, a medical diagnosis expert system would search through a knowledge base to arrive at a short list of illnesses that best fit the known symptoms. ...
After a search of possible waste re- duction, treatment, and disposal options, and perhaps interaction with ex- isting “number-crunching” subroutines, the expert system would identify possible courses ...
A Bi-directional Big Bang/Crunch Universe within a Two-State-Vector Quantum Mechanics?
2018
Foundations of physics
A two boundary quantum mechanics incorporating a big bang / big crunch universe is carefully considered. ...
After a short motivation of the concept we address the central question how a proposed a-causal quantum universe can be consistent with what is known about macroscopia and how it might find experimental ...
A reasonable scenario of the universe contains a big bang (at t = 0), a state of maximum extend (at t = 1 2 T crunch ), and a big crunch(at t = T crunch ). ...

Fraud, corruption in the private sector and internal control quality
2016
Annals of Spiru Haret University Economic Series
The global economic crunch had a big impact on the private sector all over the world. ...
The level of fraud became very high during the economic crunch, due to the globalization and expansion of computer systems. ...
You will need a proactive strategy for staying abreast of new fraud risks as they emerge, and a process for sharing critical knowledge across the company as it becomes available. ...

to a profit maximization problem, and a connection of the models optimal solution back into the cost accounting system. ...
The Keano Macadamia Nut Company is a cross-functional exercise which illustrates a cost accounting system providing data for a linear programming problem; the use of linear programming to obtain a solution ...
Hence, data to an LP problem is generated from a cost accounting system, a solution is determined for a profit maximization LP problem, and the solution is linked back into the cost accounting system. ...

Soft Computing Framework for Routing in Wireless Mesh Networks: An Integrated Cost Function Approach
[article]
2013
arXiv
pre-print
This paper proposes a framework for optimal routing in the WMNs; where we investigate the suitability of Big Bang-Big Crunch (BB-BC), a soft computing based approach to evaluate shortest/near-shortest ...
A large number of simulations were conducted and it has been observed that BB-BC algorithm appears to be a high potential candidate suitable for routing in WMNs. ...

No more crash or crunch: Sustainable credit dynamics in a P2P community
2010
2010 International Conference on High Performance Computing & Simulation
We explore the conditions that lead to these system pathologies and present a theoretical analysis that allows us to determine if a community is sustainable or will eventually crunch or crash. ...
We show using an agent-based model that credit policies, based on bandwidth contribution, and a selfish user model, can lead to both "crunches" and "crashes" where the system seizes completely due to too ...
RELATED WORK To the best of our knowledge, there hasn't been much work done on studying crunches, crashes and sustainability in P2P systems with credit based incentive schemes. ...

Enabling Efficient Dynamic Resizing of Large DRAM Caches via A Hardware Consistent Hashing Mechanism
[article]
2016
arXiv
pre-print
CRUNCH provides a load-balanced remapping of data from the powered-down banks alone to the active banks, without requiring sets from all banks to be remapped, unlike naive schemes to achieve load balancing ...
In this paper, we propose CRUNCH (Cache Resizing Using Native Consistent Hashing), a hardware data remapping scheme inspired by consistent hashing, an algorithm originally proposed to uniformly and dynamically ...
Nevertheless, CRUNCH provides better system performance than BFO during steady-state. ...
