Double auction is one of the most promising solutions to allocate virtual machine (VM) resources in two-sided cloud markets, which can increase the utilization rate of VM resources.However, most cloud auction mechanisms simply assume that the auctioneer is fully trusted while ignoring bid-privacy preservation and trade fairness in the process of au

A cold dilute atomic gas in an optical resonator can be radiatively cooled by coherent scattering processes when the driving laser frequency is tuned close to but below the cavity FLAX resonance.When the atoms are sufficiently illuminated, their steady state undergoes a phase transition from a homogeneous distribution to a spatially organized Bragg

Research has focused on cashew production, profitability, and marketing.However, the risks and constraints faced by cashew farmers have yet to receive sufficient attention.Hence, this study was conducted to examine the risks and constraints faced by cashew farmers and the management techniques adopted to curtail these challenges in Ogbomosho, Oyo s

The density of relic neutrinos is expected to be enhanced due to clustering in our local neighbourhood at Earth.We introduce a novel analytical technique to calculate the neutrino overdensity, based on kinetic field theory.Kinetic field theory is a particle-based theory for cosmic Bike Accessories - Kickstands structure formation and in this work w
