Our findings offer cloud computing consumers, service providers, and industry practitioners a better understanding of the risk of lock-in embedded in the complex, technologically interdependent and heterogeneous cloud systems.
I have a complex, heterogeneous technology landscape.
These assumptions do not hold for heterogeneous systems of technologically incompatible spectrum users.
Here, we investigate heterogeneous nucleation in the technologically important thermal energy storage material LiNO3·3H2O (LNH), and demonstrate a close correlation of ΔT with lattice mismatch between planes of closely packed coordination polyhedra in a number of potential nucleation catalysts.
Functional oxides have a significant role in a number of technologically important areas, including superconductivity, magnetism and heterogeneous catalysis1, as well as in electrochemical technologies and processes that use both aqueous electrolytes2,3 and organic solvents4,5,6.
In situ bioremediation of contaminated groundwater is made technologically challenging by the physically, chemically, and biologically heterogeneous subsurface environment.
The comparison provides firm support for the parametric FVDAM theory's ability to capture highly localized plasticity effects in different classes of heterogeneous materials, which lead to interesting and technologically important phenomena at the homogenized scale.
Spinel-type cobalt oxide (Co3O4) is a technologically important material with applications in lithium ion batteries, heterogeneous catalysts, gas sensing, ceramic pigments, and electrochemical devices [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11].
The penetration of porous solids by organic solvents is a technologically important phenomenon, relevant to a wide variety of fields including heterogeneous catalysis.
The provisioning of wireless data services in a moving train is a technologically demanding challenge due to the fast-varying wireless channel and heterogeneous service requirements.
