The Common MANET Framework

Abstract : This effort researched, developed and demonstrated a Common Mobile Ad-hoc Networking (MANET) framework (CMF) to provide a uniform abstraction for wireless discovery, communication, and routing of network traffic over heterogeneous transmission technologies. The application program interface (API) supports the development of MANET-appropriate Internet Protocol (IP)- based applications and also provides observability and controlability interfaces to the CMF. The research uses two complementary algorithms: one uses application behavior to identify initial routes (Application Informed Routing AIR) and the other maintains and improves those routes over time (Dynamic Virtual Circuits (DVCs). In combination, these algorithms allow wireless routing to scale O (1) with respect to MANET size. The effort enables efficient routing for arbitrary sized MANETs. The Application Program Interface and Transmission Layer Interface allow multiple transmission technologies to interoperate, shielding both the applications and system administrators from having to address the heterogeneity.
Evaluation of Modern Design Methods for use in Computer Experiments

We have compared the recently developed Multi-level binary replacement (MBR) design method for use in computer experiments, to the Latin hypercube design (LHD) and the Orthogonal array (OA) design. For means of comparison, we have suggested an algorithm for drawing permutations of the MBR design, so as to obtain what we have called a MBR based Latin hypercube design. In our comparison study, the main focus have been the design scores with respect to the root mean squared error (RMSE), Max and alias sum of squares criteria. We found that the MBR design generally performed good with respect to all criteria. It scored similarly to the OA design method and better than conventional Latin hypercube sampling. The score however varied with the number of samples and the set of design generators chosen for constructing the MBR design. The MBR design performed better for designs with a relatively high number of samples compared to the number of factors.

Decision theoretic effects in testing a causal conditional

Des applications recentes de la theorie de la decision sur le jugement causal et les performances dans la tâche de selection se sont montrees tres productives mais ces deux approches ne sont pas encore integrees. Dans un premier temps nous montrons comment les integrer dans un cas de tâche de selection causale. Puis nous confirmons que les decisions de sujets (N = 156) dans une tâche de selection causale sont sensibles au contexte probable d'une affirmation causale. Nos resultats permettent d'ecarter les explications ignorant la taille de l'ensemble des causes et des effets supposes ainsi que les jugements de probabilite qui les refletent.
Quality Assessment and Prediction in Software Product Lines

Quality Assessment and Prediction in Software Product Lines by Thomas Ryan Devine Master of Science in Computer Science West Virginia University Katerina Goseva-Popstojanova, Ph.D., Chair At the heart of product line development is the assumption that through structured reuse later products will be of a higher quality and require less time and effort to develop and test. This thesis presents empirical results from two case studies aimed at assessing the quality aspect of this claim and exploring fault prediction in the context of software product lines. The first case study examines pre-release faults and change proneness of four products in PolyFlow, a medium-sized, industrial software product line; the second case study analyzes post-release faults using pre-release data over seven releases of four products in Eclipse, a very large, open source software product line. The goals of our research are (1) to determine the association between various software metrics, as well as their correlation with the number of faults at the component/package level; (2) to characterize the fault and change proneness of components/packages at various levels of reuse; (3) to explore the benefits of the structured reuse found in software product lines; and (4) to evaluate the effectiveness of predictive models, built on a variety of products in a software product line, to make accurate predictions of pre-release software faults (in the case of PolyFlow) and post-release software faults (in the case of Eclipse). The research results of both studies confirm, in a software product line setting, the findings of others that faults (both preand post-release) are more highly correlated to change metrics than to static code metrics, and are mostly contained in a small set of components/packages. The longitudinal aspect of our research indicates that new products do benefit from the development and testing of previous products. The results also indicate that pre-existing components/packages, including the common components/packages, undergo continuous change, but tend to sustain low fault densities. However, this is not always true for newly developed components/packages. Finally, the results also show that predictions of pre-release faults in the case of PolyFlow and post-release faults in the case of Eclipse can be done accurately from pre-release data, and furthermore, that these predictions benefit from information about additional products in the software product lines.
Meta-Analysis: an Abuse of Research Integration

The paper reviews many objections to meta-analysis, both in principle, and in particular, as practiced by its originators. Particular attention is given to the most widely cited application of meta-analysis: to the facts of psychotherapy. It is suggested that the claims to inclusiveness and objectivity, made for these analyses, are not supported by the evidence, and that the conclusions drawn from the evidence surveyed are incompatible with the results of the analysis on which they are supposed to be based. It is further suggested that no pseudo-objective computerized technique can substitute for the scientific insight and theoretical acumen of the investigator. Indeed, for most purposes the simplistic scoring systems of meta-analysis are not only useless, but may be counterproductive. It is precisely in those areas where there is most disagreement that these methods are least applicable.
Anchored communities: identity and history of the Maya-Q'eqchi'

Cet article cherche a depasser le dualisme sterile de l'approche Barthienne et d'aborder l'etude des identites maya d'une facon plus historique et processuelle. En analysant le mouvement de renaissance ethnique parmi les indiens Q'eqchi' et plus particulierement parmi leurs leaders religieux, a partir d'experiences historiques de l'evangelisation catholique et de la guerre civile, il est montre que chaque processus historique a marque la facon dont les Q'eqchi'ont imagine leurs communautes tout en engendrant une pluralite d'identites.

Cases and thematic roles : ergative, accusative and active

This study examines the mapping of thematic roles, such as agent and patient, onto syntactic cases, such as nominative or ergative, or onto structural relations in a cross-linguistic survey that is supplemented with German data. It is shown that cases and structural relations code different aspects of thematic structure and that cases cannot be derived from structural relations in universal grammar. The phenomena that characterize ergative and active languages are shown to be restricted to case mapping.
IMPROVED DYNAMIC MESSAGE SIGN MESSAGES AND OPERATIONS

This report provides the results of an extensive laboratory investigation of a total of 15 specific issues related to dynamic message sign (DMS) operations statewide. These issues were identified and approved by the Texas Department of Transportation project advisors responsible for DMS operations in their respective districts. Laptop computers were used to simulate DMS message displays. After each message display, participating subject drivers responded to questions designed to determine the level of recall and comprehension of the information contained in the message. Response times as well as message format/sign operating preferences were also collected from the subject drivers. The report contains specific recommendations concerning DMS issues in the following four categories: (1) communicating time and day for future roadwork to motorists; (2) motorist interpretations of specific words or phrases used on DMSs; (3) DMS operating practices; and (4) using DMSs with lane control signals.
Funde aus dem Mittleren Reich bis zur Mamlukenzeit aus Umm el-Qaab

During the excavations of the German Archaeological Institute at the royal necropolis of Umm el-Qaab since 1977, many finds from the tombs of the earliest kings were unearthed, but also several from later times, when the tomb of king Djer was identified as the tomb of Osiris. Unfortunately, the site is badly disturbed and most of the finds are mere fragments, but still some remains of the Osiris-cult - deposits of small qaab-offering vessels - have survived even in situ. This second phase of cult activity seemed to have started in the Middle Kingdom. It definitely end in coptic times. A few objects found at Umm el-Qaab date as late as the mameluk period. The study of these remains from the Osiris-cult and those of later times began two years ago and is still in progress. Future research should provide insight into the Osiris-cult at Umm el-Qaab, since not much is known about the nature of the cult practices around this tomb of Osiris, and what kind of buildings might have stood there apart from the tombs of the early kings. Some remains of small buildings were uncovered, probably dating to the time of Thutmose III, the ramesside period and graeco-roman times. Considered together with a doorjamb from Apries found by PETRIE, it becomes clear that some building activity has been undertaken there in different times. The Osiris-cult lasted in this area, with some minor gaps in between, for a time span of more than two thousand years. Further studies should eventually help to improve our understanding of the dynamics of this cult in the course of time. The aim of this article is to describe the different categories of finds from the Osiris-cult and later times and to give a first impression of their diversity and large number. The full corpus of finds, their detailed description and statistical information from the beginning of the Osiris-cult at Umm el-Qaab until its cessation will be kept for the final publication.
Introduction to Multimodal Analysis

Introduction to Multimodal Analysis is a unique and accessible textbook that clearly and critically explains this groundbreaking approach to visual analysis. Each chapter outlines the tools for analysis and takes the reader through examples of analysis, providing a model that can then be followed. All visual media compositions, such as photographs, advertisements, newspapers and websites, are carefully designed. A photograph of a soldier, an advertisement for a car, a magazine cover or the opening titles to a news programme are thought out to create the appropriate effect. Designers use semiotic tools such as colour, framing, focus, positioning of elements and font style to communicate with the viewer. These choices make up a visual language that we can analyse. Multimodal analysis looks at the separate components of this language to build up a toolkit for analysing the grammar of visual design. The book includes an assessment of the claim that there is a visual grammar and important differences between images and language and the way they create meaning are identified. Including images throughout and a colour plate section, Introduction to Multimodal Analysis is an essential resource for students studying multimodality within visual communication in media and cultural studies, critical discourse analysis, journalism studies or linguistics.
User perceived video quality modelling on mobile devices for Vp9 and H265 encoders

This study constructs performance prediction models to estimate the end-user perceived video quality on mobile devices for the latest video encoding techniques –VP9 and H.265. Both subjective and objective video quality assessments were carried out for collecting data and selecting the most desirable predictors. Using statistical regression, two models were generated to achieve 94.5% and 91.5% of prediction accuracies respectively, depending on whether the predictor derived from the objective assessment is involved. These proposed models can be directly used by media industries for video quality estimation, and will ultimately help them to ensure a positive end-user quality of experience on future mobile devices after the adaptation of the latest video encoding technologies.

Steps in Constructing a Written-Response Survey for Applied Linguistics

A note on terminology In this and the accompanying piece, “written-response survey” (hereafter “survey”) means a written document given to participants and containing questions, statements, descriptions of situations, or other stimuli (hereafter “prompts”) and to which participants respond by directly recording responses themselves. “Survey” is sometimes used distinctly from “questionnaire” (see, e.g., Cohen, Manion, & Morrison, 2000), “questionnaire” often referring to a series of prompts delivered orally by another person and for which responses are recorded by the other person. The use of questionnaires in this sense involves complexities that will not be addressed here. In applied linguistics, “questionnaire” and “survey” are often used interchangeably, however.
