Morphological Variability And Systematics Of Ponto-Caspian Cladocerans Of The Genus Cercopagis Sars, 1897 (Branchiopoda: Onychopoda: Cercopagidae), Larisa F. Litvinchuk, Spartak N. Litvinchuk

Turkish Journal of Zoology

In recent decades, significant changes have occurred in the composition of zooplankton, especially in the Ponto-Caspian Basin. An important component of zooplankton in this region is cladocerans of the genus Cercopagis. However, the introduction of invasive species means that many species of this genus have probably become extinct. Because their disappearance molecular study of these organisms is no longer possible. Therefore, a comparative analysis of morphological variability has become more important. We studied the morphological variability of all 12 currently known species of the genus. Samples from the Caspian, Azov, Black, and Baltic Seas were analyzed. The number of species …

Grp-0176 A Comparative Analysis Of Traditional Virtual Machines And Micro Virtual Machines, Tasnim Akter Onisha Nov 2025

Grp-0176 A Comparative Analysis Of Traditional Virtual Machines And Micro Virtual Machines, Tasnim Akter Onisha

C-Day Computing Showcase

Virtualization technologies form the backbone of modern cloud and serverless platforms, but the balance between performance efficiency and strong isolation remains a key research challenge. Using a comparative literature based methodology, benchmark data from empirical studies are synthesized and normalized across four metrics: startup latency, memory footprint, isolation strength, and scalability. The findings show that traditional VMs such as KVM and Xen provide robust, formally verified isolation but incur higher boot times and memory usage, whereas Micro VMs like Firecracker and Kata Containers achieve lower latency (often < 125 ms) and smaller memory footprints (5–30 MB) while preserving VM-level isolation. Overall, Micro VMs deliver near container responsiveness with VM-grade security, making them suited for serverless and edge environments. As a future direction, this study highlights the need for scalable, formally verified Micro VM architectures for next-generation cloud systems.

Grp-0165 Reinforcement Learning For Latency-Aware Priority Boosting In Linux Completely Fair Scheduler, Joseph Natter Nov 2025

Grp-0165 Reinforcement Learning For Latency-Aware Priority Boosting In Linux Completely Fair Scheduler, Joseph Natter

C-Day Computing Showcase

Tail latency remains a persistent challenge in Linux’s Completely Fair Scheduler (CFS), particularly when short, latency-sensitive jobs compete with longer ones. Traditional boosting heuristics improve tail latency but require manual tuning and generalize poorly across workloads. This project evaluates whether a reinforcement-learning (RL) controller can dynamically apply priority boosts more effectively than fixed heuristics. Using a discrete-event Python simulator modeled after CFS, this project compares baseline CFS, heuristic boosting, and PPO-based learned boosting under mixed workloads. Results show that while heuristics achieve the lowest absolute latency, RL achieves competitive tail-latency reduction with significantly better fairness and adaptability. A state-space study …

Grp-21186 A Safe Vision-Guided Robotic Injection Control Framework Based On Reinforcement Learning, Zhiguo Liu

C-Day Computing Showcase

This project presents a modular vision-guided robotic framework for safe deltoid intramuscular injection. An external YOLO-based detector localizes the deltoid region and outputs a 3D injection point in the robot base frame. In NVIDIA Isaac Sim, a simulated myCobot 280 arm receives this point, and a deep reinforcement learning policy generates a safe approach pose under kinematic and safety constraints, while a deterministic controller executes the final straight-line insertion and withdrawal. A safety supervisor monitors target validity, joint limits and distance to a simplified arm model, triggering immediate stop and retraction when unsafe conditions arise.
