Abstract Strong‐future‐time reference (FTR) languages require speakers to grammatically mark future events, while weak‐FTR do not. Using data from 34 countries, we find that firms in countries where strong‐FTR are spoken have fewer patent counts and citations than those spoken. Further evidence shows affect inventors’ perceptions beliefs about rewards innovation. Moreover, due interactions between people speaking different languages, globalization attenuates the negative impact of language...

Recommender systems (RS) exploit user ratings on items and side information to make personalized recommendations. In order recommend the right products users, RS must accurately model implicit preferences of each properties product. reality, both item are changing dynamically over time, so treating historical decisions a or received comments an as static is inappropriate. Besides, review text accompanied with rating score can help us understand why likes dislikes item, temporal dynamics in...

Concrete is a composite material that has mostly been used for buildings and road surfaces since early human history. It also applied to contemporary product design, as it rather interesting aesthetic properties. In this late-breaking work, we present series of small-scale explorations concrete: first in which exploited its hydroscopicity create an ephemeral dynamic display, second, where conducted tangible interface design showcase the material's unique surface textures. By applying...

The use of containers in microservices has gained popularity as it facilitates agile development, resource governance, and software maintenance. Container reallocation aims to achieve workload balance via reallocating over physical machines. It affects the overall performance microservice-based systems. However, container scheduling remain an open issue due their complexity real-world scenarios. In this paper, we propose a novel Multi-Phase Local Search (MPLS) algorithm optimize...

Adaptive Bitrate Algorithm (ABR) is a category of important technique to improve the Quality Experience (QoE) video streaming service. Many ABR algorithms have been proposed recently and achieved good results. However, there are still some problems be solved: (1) These based on open source data evaluated by only one simulated player; (2) The QoE metrics defined differently their parameters set experience with little explanation; (3) consider users but ignore bandwidth cost service providers....

Superpage and page coloring are two important practical techniques to improve the performance of Translation Lookaside Buffers (TLBs) shared Last Level Cache (LLC) respectively. However, there exists a gap between these in current hardware-architecture design, resulting contradiction adopting optimizations simultaneously: superpage requires hundreds contiguous (e.g. power two) base pages both virtual physical memory, which would compulsorily occupy all available colors (or cache sets), thus...

An arbitrarily rotated image should not be recognized as a different one, but the conventional perceptual hashing algorithms can only deal with this partially. Different to watermarking, does need embed information into content, make it possible that treat synchronization problem in new manner. In paper, three cyclic coding based methods are proposed, and performance under rotation is tested well other common attacks. Meanwhile, by dividing signal channels, we discuss which one better for...
