A Hybrid Deep Reinforcement Learning Framework for Efficient Cloud Resource Scheduling

Abstract Cloud computing enables on-demand access to scalable virtualized resources. However, efficient task scheduling in cloud computing remains a challenge because of the dynamic and heterogeneous nature of workloads. This paper proposes a hybrid Deep Reinforcement Learning (D...

Altering the surface properties of Al 6061 by depositing tungsten-copper through the spark discharge process

This study explores the surface modification of Al 6061 using the electrical discharge coating method with a tungsten-copper (W-Cu) tool (75:25 weight%) fabricated through powder metallurgy. The effect of compact load, peak current and pulse on-time on material deposition rate (M...

Power structures, elite networks, and informal governance in governance systems

Purpose This study aims to critically examine how power structures and personal linkages influence governance systems, with a particular focus on elite dominance and informal networks in shaping institutional performance, accountability and transparency. It moves beyond formal in...
