Better public housing management in Ghana by Samson Aziabah

“…Also, the research found that, in general, performance in HM may be assessed by using indicators such as: quality of maintenance, responses from staff in relation to tenant services, and access to information by tenants, which measure effectiveness; cost of maintenance per dwelling and net rent as measures of efficiency and economy; application procedures, rent levels, and support for tenants as measures of equity; and the level of participation and the frequency and ease of communication with tenants as measures of legitimacy and support for HM. …”

Project quality, regulation quality by Elena Mussinelli

“…The centres of regulatory production have also multiplied, breaking up into different levels and sectors of regulation, namely with multi-level (international, EU, national, regional, local), sectoral (economy, environment, territory, landscape, infrastructure, cultural heritage, health, etc.) and institutional governance structures, with corresponding different interests (public/private, collective/individual) and complicated relationships of interconnection, conditionality and/or competition (Raveraira, 2009). …”

Resource management in blockchain-enabled heterogeneous edge computing system by Ping ZHANG, Shilin LI, Yiming LIU, Xiaoqi QIN, Xiaodong XU

“…In blockchain-enabled mobile edge computing (BMEC) systems,a new class of blockchain application related computation tasks was introduced to the system.Due to the differences of parallelism among computation tasks,heterogenous computing framework was introduced to suitably split various computation tasks on processors with vastly different processing power to achieve efficient task execution.Under the limited computation and communication resources,a system-wide utility maximization problem by jointly considering heterogeneous processor scheduling,computation and bandwidth resource allocation was formulated as a mixed-integer nonlinear programming problem.To solve the problem efficiently,the formulated problem was transformed into two sub-problems,namely application-driven heterogeneous processor scheduling and joint resource allocation,and a Lagrange-dual based algorithm was proposed.Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can effectively improve the system-wide utility of the BMEC system.…”
