An Approach for Content Retrieval from Web Pages Using Clustering Techniques

Mining the content from an information database provides challenging solutions to the industry experts and researchers, due to the overcrowded information in huge data. In web searching, the information retrieved is not an appropriate, because it gives ambiguous information for the user query, and the user cannot get relevant information within the stipulated time. To overcome these issues, we propose a new methodology for information retrieval EPCRR by providing the top most exact information to the user, by using the collaborative clustered automated filter which makes use of the collaborative data set and filter works on the prediction by providing the highest ranking for the exact data retrieved. The retrieval works on the basis of recommendation of data which consists of relevant data set with highest priority from the cluster of data which is on high usage. In this work, we make use of the automated wrapper which works similar to the meta crawler functionality and it obtains the content in the semantic usage data format. Obtained information from the user to the agent will be ranked based on the Enabled Pile clustered data with respect to the metadata information from the agent and end-user. The information is given to the end-user with the top most ranking data within the stipulated time and the remaining top information will be moved to the data repository for future use. The data collected will remain stable based on the user preference and works on the intelligence system approach in which the user can choose any information under any instances and can be provided with suitable high range of exact content. In this approach, we find that the proposed algorithm has produced better results than existing work and it costs less online computation time.
Closed-form variance formula of the RPHD single-tone frequency estimator

In this paper, we provide a very convenient, closed-form for mula for the variance of the single tone frequency estimator in the refor med Pisarenko harmonic decomposer method. Several computer experiments show that calculated and mea- sured variances are in excellent agreement. Our formula is u seful when a small num- ber of signal samples are used for frequency estimation, as a symptotic forms can lead to important errors.
clRNG: A Random Number API with Multiple Streams for OpenCL

We present clRNG, a library for uniform random number generation in OpenCL. Streams of random numbers act as virtual random number generators. They can be created on the host computer in unlimited numbers, and then used either on the host or on other computing devices by work items to generate random numbers. Each stream also has equally-spaced substreams, which are occasionally useful. The API is currently implemented for three different RNGs, namely the MRG31k3p, MRG32k3a, LFSR113, and Philox-4×32-10 generators.
Applying Holistic Distributed Scheduling to AUTOSAR Methodology

AUTOSAR initiative continues to envoy success in the automotive software domain by providing a common framework for efficient software development and by the integration and reuse of software components. However, additional work is needed to consider non-functional properties in the development cycle. Recent release of AUTOSAR has defined a common language to define timing- related information for the automotive embedded system across all development layers. In this paper, we propose an approach to consider the AUTOSAR timing model. Then we aim to transform it to a classical scheduling model in order to apply directly fundamentals scheduling theories for timing analysis. The approach is applied on a realistic case study, a steer-by-wire system.
Actual Art, Possible Art, and Art's Definition

It is thirty years since Jerrold Levinson introduced his historical theory of art.1 Other, related theories have been proposed.2 But Levinson's theory is the most elaborated and the most clearly committed to the project of defining art.3 Much of the dispute about this theory has centered on how precisely it is to be formulated.4 I will be carefulto the point, sometimes, of being tediousto distinguish ways of formulating the theory's central claim. No formulation I come up with provides a satisfactory definition: so I argue. I start by saying something absurdly brief about the rules of engagement in this contest. I provide some motivating background about biconditionals, necessity, circularity, and their relation to the project of definition. I characterize Levinson's attempt to avoid circularity by means of a technique of collapse. I show that using collapse makes the definition offered by the historical theory unacceptably parochial. I suggest a way in which a new historical definition might be crafted that is a bit more cosmopolitan, though not, perhaps, cosmopolitan enough. I also note that the historical theorists need to take a stand on what seems to
DEVELOPMENT OF GENETIC LINKAGE MAP OF LEAF HAIRINESS IN GOSSYPIUM HIRSUTUM (COTTON) USING MOLECULAR MARKERS

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) genotype Rajhans (pilose) was crossed with FH-634 (glabrous) and developed F2 and F3 segregating populations. PCR based techniques RAPD and SSR were used to determine DNA markers linked with the trait of hairiness using 400 RAPD and 54 SSR primers. Prior to analysis, PCR conditions were optimized. Eight RAPD primer markers OPD19640, OPF-11630, OPG-06980, OPG-17500, OPH-131100, OPN-14890, OPO-11920, OPO-141200 were consistently detected in duplicate reactions. One SSR primer pair, JESPR-154 amplified a 150 bp DNA fragment in hairiness population. Polymorphic DNA markers were used to develop linkage map. Construction of genetic linkage map using RAPD and SSR markers revealed that the inheritance for leaf hairiness exists, which can be used to improve insect resistance in cotton.
Outsourcing in Vietnam : A Case Study of a Locally Operating Pioneer 1

This paper explores the following question of key interest to researchers and practitioners concerned with offshore IS outsourcing in developing countries: How are potential offshore partners operating in developing nations to mature to be considered more attractive to suitors? Indeed, for firms located in what Carmel (2003) refers to as Tier Four, or less developed IS producing and exporting nations, an advancement to become a strategic partner challenges conventional wisdom and theoretical expectations. However our work has identified a firm that has become a strategic partner despite being headquartered in a Tier Four country. In exploring this question and examining our exemplar firm, the paper makes three key contributions: First, the contemporary context for offshore outsourcing in a Tier Four nation (Vietnam) is explored, illustrating the nation's advantages as well as key challenges that limit expansion. Second, against this backdrop we offer a case study of a successful strategic partner that has emerged despite being headquartered in a Tier Four nation. A theory-grounded analysis of the firm, Glass Egg Digital Media, provides a lens for identifying success factors that enable firms in developing nations to emerge as strategic technology outsourcing partners. Finally, we end by exploring how existing models for considering firm attitudes toward offshore outsourcing can be expanded and we highlight potential areas for future research. Our work demonstrates the important interplay of firm, industry, and national factors in enabling a firm operating in a Tier-Four nation to make the leap to strategic partner.
Mammary immunity of White Park and Highland cattle compared with Brown Swiss and Red Holstein

Summary Mastitis is a frequent disease in modern dairy cows, but ancient cattle breeds seem to be naturally more resistant to it. Primary bovine mammary epithelial cells from the ancient Highland and White Park (n= 5) cattle and the modern dairy breeds Brown Swiss and Red Holstein (n= 6) were non-invasively isolated from milk, cultured, and stimulated with the heat-inactivated mastitis pathogens Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus to compare the innate immune response in vitro. With reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), the breeds differed in the basal expression of 16 genes. Notably CASP8, CXCL8, Toll-like receptors 2 and 4 (TLR2 and TLR4) expression were higher in the ancient breeds (P < 0.05). In the modern breeds, more genes were regulated after stimulation. Breed differences (P< 0.05) were detected in C3, CASP8, CCL2, CD14, LY96 and transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1) regulation. Principal component analysis separated the ancient from the modern breeds in their basal expression, but not after stimulation. ELISA of lactoferrin and serum amyloid A protein revealed breed differences in control and S. aureus treated levels. The immune reaction of ancient breeds seemed less intensive because of a higher basal expression, which has been shown before to be beneficial for the animal. For the first time, the innate immune response of these ancient breeds was studied. Previous evidence of breed and animal variation in innate immunity was confirmed.
Study of Potential Health Damage Caused by Ultrafine Particles in Megacities Using a Pulmonary Deposition Model

The deposition of ultrafine particles, in the human respiratory tract, from four highly impacted megacities across the globe, was evaluated by using a pulmonary deposition model. It was found that, for the locations studied, an average of 62% of atmospheric particles was retained in the respiratory system. As expected, the model shows that smaller particles penetrate deeper in the airways. In addition, it’s shown that children are more susceptible than adults, retaining 8% more ultrafine particles.
A Strategy for Statistical Process Control Education in Computer Science

SPC (Statistical Process Control) was originally developed in the area of manufacturing, to support the implementation of continuous improvement programs in production lines. The use of SPC in process improvement is not new to the industry in general. In the context of software organizations, statistical control can be regarded as a relatively recent subject-area, although there are still many doubts about its application. Thus, this paper focuses on drawing up a curriculum for Statistical Process Control within a Computer Science course. The aim of this initiative is to provide software development organizations with computer science professionals who are fully able to perform this task. Keywords-software engineering; measurement and analysis; statistical process control; software process improvement; software quality; education.
On the maximum number of minimum total dominating sets in forests

Fricke, Hedetniemi, Hedetniemi, and Hutson asked whether every tree with domination number $\gamma$ has at most $2^\gamma$ minimum dominating sets. Bien gave a counterexample, which allows to construct forests with domination number $\gamma$ and $2.0598^\gamma$ minimum dominating sets. We show that every forest with domination number $\gamma$ has at most $2.4606^\gamma$ minimum dominating sets, and that every tree with independence number $\alpha$ has at most $2^{\alpha-1}+1$ maximum independent sets.
Validation of a Simple and Rapid Method for Assessment of Intracellular Bacterial Asparaginase

L-Asparaginase has remarkable properties which make it useful in dual pharmaceutical and food industries.In this study, simple and advantageous method has been validated for rapid and precise determination of intracellular L-Asparaginasein bacterial species. A suspension of bacterial cells was used instead ofcell extract and incubated by substrate (asparagine) after simple wash and centrifugation steps. Due to loss of enzyme activity which can cause by cell distruption methods such as sonication or enzymatic treatment, cell suspension were used instead of the cell extrac. Thus, this method not onlyis cost effective but also speed up the screening process and lead to higher measurement accuracy. To validate this method, two species of bacteria E.coli ATCC 8739 and Halomonas H28 were used. After cultivation, the cells were harvested and washed. Then, 5 serial dilutions were prepared from each bacterium, and the asparaginase activity in each of them measured by methods includes, sonication, enzymatic lyses and the cell suspension. The results have showed that the changes in asparaginase activity in all 5 serial dilutions are linear and there is good agreement between the sonication and the cell suspension methods. Also, it was shown that activities measured by the enzymatic method were significantly higher than the othertwo methods.
High-efficiency microscale power using a fuel processor and fuel cell

A microscale power device, composed of a fuel processor and a fuel cell, is described, and results of testing conducted with the fuel reformer are presented. The microscale fuel reformer strips hydrogen from a hydrocarbon fuel, such as methanol, and the hydrogen-rich stream can then be fed to a fuel cell to generate electrical power. In the tests discussed here, the fuel reformer, utilizing methanol, was able to provide up to 100 mWe of hydrogen at an efficiency of up to 4.8%. The device was able to operate independent of any additional external heating, even during start-up.
Pharmacognostic and physicochemical evaluation of Cymbopogan citratus (DC) Stapf leaves

Plants have been utilized as a source of nutrition and healthcare products since ancient times. The present study deals with various standardization parameters like morphological characters, microscopic evaluation, fluorescence analysis, physicochemical evaluations-proximate analysis (Moisture, ash content, crude protein, crude lipid and crude fiber), solubility value (alcohol soluble, water soluble and ether soluble) and mineral analysis (macro and micro nutrients). In the present investigation, various sensory parameters of the plant material (such as colour, odour, size, shape, and taste) were also studied by organoleptic evaluation method. In fluorescence analysis, the leaf sample was subjected to different acid and basic solvents and the fluorescent nature was observed in visible light, short UV and long UV. The proximate analysis showed the moisture content of lemongrass leaves was 5.36% dry weight and crude protein 14.64% dry weight. It was observed that alcohol soluble extractives value is higher than water soluble and ether soluble extractive value. The content of vitamin E was found high (216.67 mg/gm of extract) followed by Vitamin C content (155.07 mg/gm of extract). The mineral analysis revealed various major and trace elements like calcium, sodium, potassium, zinc, manganese and iron present in lemongrass leaves in various levels.
Silver nanoparticles in alveolar bone surgery devices

Silver (Ag) ions have well-known antimicrobial properties and have been applied as nanostrategies in many medical and surgical fields, including dentistry. The use of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) may be an option for reducing bacterial adhesion to dental implant surfaces and preventing biofilm formation, containing the risk of peri-implant infections. Modifying the structure or surface of bone grafts and membranes with Ag NPs may also prevent the risk of contamination and infection that are common when alveolar bone augmentation techniques are used. On the other hand, Ag NPs have revealed some toxic effects on cells in vitro and in vivo in animal studies. In this setting, the aim of the present paper is to summarize the principle behind Ag NP-based devices and their clinical applications in alveolar bone and dental implant surgery.
Secure and duplication detection in cloud using cryptographic hashing method

De-duplication systems are adopting De-duplication strategies such as client side or server side De-duplication. Particularly, in the beginning of cloud storage, data De-duplication techniques happen to add importance to store original volumes of data in the cloud. This technique motivates the enterprise and organization to farm out data storage to cloud service providers, as proof of several case studies was done. Block level de-duplication is used to discover, removes redundancies compare with previously stored information. The file will be separated into smaller segment as given by the system size or uneven size blocks or chunks whatever we need. Using predetermined size of blocks, the system can simplify the computations of block limits, although using uneven size blocks provides improved de-duplication. Secure Cloud introduce a new concept to audit entities with continuation of a Map Reduce cloud, which is used to help the client is easy to make data tags before feeding the data and audit with the probity of data is analysed and stored in the cloud. the subject of previously finished work is fixed so that the computational load at user or auditor has huge amount of tag making. In accumulation, Secure Cloud also enables secure de-duplication. Perceive that the “validity” measured in Secure Cloud is the deterrence of leakage, the side channel information. In order to check the leakage of such side channel data, the work accept the custom and design a proof of rights protocol amid cloud servers and clients, which permit clients to confirm the cloud servers what they exactly own the object information.
Buttiker probes and the recursive Green's function: An efficient approach to include dissipation in general configurations

An efficient and compact approach to the inclusion of dissipative effects in nonequilibrium Green's function (NEGF) simulations of electronic systems is introduced. The algorithm is based on two well-known methods in the literature, first that of the so-called recursive Green's function (RGF) and second that of Buttiker probes. Numerical methods for exact evaluation of the Jacobian are presented by a direct extension to RGF which can be modularly included in any codebase that uses it presently. Then using both physical observations and numerical methods, the computation time of the Buttiker probe Jacobian is improved significantly. An improvement to existing phonon models within Buttiker probes is then demonstrated in the simulation of fully atomistic graphene nanoribbon based field effect transistors in n-i-n and p-i-n operation.
Prevalence of multi-drug resistance and pandrug resistance among multiple gram-negative species: experience in one teaching hospital, Tehran, Iran

Resistance in specific gram-negative bacteria, including Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa is of great concern, for there are growing numbers of reports of how these microorganisms have become resistant to all available antibacterial agents used in therapy. A descriptive study was conducted in a teaching hospital in Tehran, Iran, in 2008. A Total of 295 clinical gram negative species were isolated at Microbiology Laboratory Hospital from patients’ specimens. Anti-biograms were done on Mueller-Hinton agar plates with disk diffusion method according to Kirby-Bauer method. Among 295 isolated gram-negative, Escherichia coli was the most common organism then followed by K. pneumoniae, Enterobacter, P. aeruginosa, Acinetobacter, Proteus and Citrobacter. Multi-drug-resistant (MDR) gram negative strains were detected in 162(55%) of isolates. These included E. coli [67(41.35%)], K. pneumoniae [35(21.6%)], P. aeruginosa [27(16.7%)], Enterobacter [19(11.73%)], Acinetobacter [14(8.65%)]. Ten patients were identified to have infection due to pandrug-resistant (PDR) gram-negative bacteria including: P. aeruginosa [3 cases (30%)], A. baumannii [3 cases (30%)], Enterobacter [2 cases (20%)], K. pneumoniae [1 case (10%)], E. coli [1 case (10%)]. Presence of MDR and PDR resistance and reduced susceptibility to third generation cephalosporins, carbapenems and fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides, and Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole is considered a serious clinical problem.
The causal effect of including standards-related documentation into prior art: evidence from a recent EPO policy change

The aim of this paper is to investigate the causal effect of a recent attempt undertaken by the EPO to improve the quality of the patent granting process. To do so we examine a policy change that aimed at including the information revealed during the standardisation-setting process into the official definition of prior art. All the empirical analysis consistently support that the policy was successful. Indeed, we find a negative and strongly significant reduction in the granting rate, suggesting that the process of patent granting has become more careful and selective after the policy implementation
Methylobacterium spp. as Emerging Opportunistic Premise Plumbing Pathogens

Methylobacterium spp. are emerging opportunistic premise plumbing pathogens. Human infections linked to premise plumbing provide evidence of their routes of infection. Cells of a collection of representative strains of different Methylobacterium species were tested for hydrophobicity by contact angle, adherence and biofilm formation on different plumbing materials, and temperature tolerance (50–60 °C); characteristics shared by OPPPs. Methylobacterium spp. strains were shown to grow in drinking water, have high cell-surface hydrophobicity, adhere to pipe surface materials, form biofilms, and survive exposure to high (60° C) temperatures. It can be concluded that Methylobacterium spp. strains share traits in common with other opportunistic premise plumbing pathogens (OPPPs).

Bioinformatic approach: Cu, Zn superoxide dismutase of Dinoccus radiodurans

Bioinformatic Analysis of Cu, Zn superoxide dismutase protein of Dinococcus radiodurans strain R1 was performed. The protein's net positive charge is due to arginine and lysine and is alkaline with Ip >7 (9.8) and hydrophobicity is 53.5%. Proscan server identified five functional sites on it like Myristylation site, three phosphorylation sites and an N-glycosylation site. The secondary structure showed βturns predominant along with disulphide bonds and is confirmed by SOPMA. A further study showed that in contain three domains as Cu, Zn SOD binding, six bladed propeller, TOIB like and SMP-30/Gluconolaconase/LRE like. The sequence of the domains was analyzed for various parameters like extinction coefficient, half life, instability index, aliphatic index and grand average hydropathy (GRAVY). The sequence was then used to generate tertiary structure which suggest that the Cu, Zn SOD binding site belongs to oxidoreductase fold and metal binding family, the TOIB like site designated as peptidoglycan associated lipoprotein and SMP-30 domain assigned as hydrolyzing enzyme. The 3D-structures were evaluated by Rampage, ProQ and Combinatorial Extension (CE) and visualized by Rasmol.
Cow-Calf Producer Perceptions Regarding Individual Animal Traceability

This study provides valuable insights into cow-calf producer voluntary participation in the National Animal Identification System and producers' perceptions of several issues critically impacting the success of voluntary traceability systems. Cow-calf producers believe that the most important issues to the U.S. beef industry in designing a national, individual animal traceability system are monitoring/managing disease, maintaining current foreign markets, accessing foreign markets, and increasing consumer confidence. Furthermore, producers are concerned with cost, liability, reliability of technology, failure of system to meet stated goals, and confidentiality of information associated with these systems.
