Using the Weak‐Temperature Gradient Approximation to Evaluate Parameterizations: An Example of the Transition From Suppressed to Active Convection

Two single‐column models are fully coupled via the weak‐temperature gradient approach. The coupled‐SCM is used to simulate the transition from suppressed to active convection under the influence of an interactive large‐scale circulation. The sensitivity of this transition to the value of mixing entrainment within the convective parameterization is explored. The results from these simulations are compared with those from equivalent simulations using coupled cloud‐resolving models. Coupled‐column simulations over nonuniform surface forcing are used to initialize the simulations of the transition, in which the column with suppressed convection is forced to undergo a transition to active convection by changing the local and/or remote surface forcings. The direct contributions from the changes in surface forcing are to induce a weakening of the large‐scale circulation which systematically modulates the transition. In the SCM, the contributions from the large‐scale circulation are dominated by the heating effects, while in the CRM the heating and moistening effects are about equally divided. A transition time is defined as the time when the rain rate in the dry column is halfway to the value at equilibrium after the transition. For the control value of entrainment, the order of the transition times is identical to that obtained in the CRM, but the transition times are markedly faster. The locally forced transition is strongly delayed by a higher entrainment. A consequence is that for a 50% higher entrainment the transition times are reordered. The remotely forced transition remains fast while the locally forced transition becomes slow, compared to the CRM.
Inductive Telemetric Measurement Systems for Remote Sensing

Inductive telemetric measurement systems can be used for contactless measurement using passive sensors that may be interrogated by an external unit without a physical contact. The main appealing features with respect to traditional sensors come from the absence of any cable linking to the acquisition unit, the reduced ecological impact, since they are battery-less, and from the extension of their application fields from traditional to harsh environments. Inductive telemetric systems can be adopted in situations where the measurement information should be acquired or in presence of incompatibility with the electronics requirements or in inaccessible environments. Their use widens to applications where wires, connecting a data acquisition unit and the sensor element, cannot be used such as, for examples, in implantable devices inside the human body to avoid risk of infections or skin damage or in hermetic environments. Inductive telemetric systems are applied in industrial fields, for example, when the measuring environment is not accessible, since inside, for example, a hermetic box. Other typical applications are measurement of physical quantities in environments at high temperature where it is not possible to use silicon microelectronic circuits, with consequent unavailability of active blocks within the sensing head for the electronic processing and transmission of the signals. In this case the sensor can be only of passive type and requires to be interrogated contactless. A solution can be offered sometimes by standard wireless techniques that anyway does not present, in many cases, a definitive solution, because the wireless electronic circuits need powering energy supplied by a battery that can periodically be substituted. Furthermore, exhausted batteries are important environmental problems and they require appropriate disposal. In the previous examples, inductive telemetric measurement systems can represent a valid solution, since they do require neither connections through cables or electronic circuits to process and transmit the signal and avoids the use of batteries. Inductive telemetric measurement systems are usually constituted by two inductors: one (sensing inductor) connected to the sensitive element, commonly a capacitive transducer, and the other to the measurement circuit (readout inductor). 14
Working with Emotions : Teachers ’ Work , Stress and Coping Strategies in Eastern Galilee

This study seeks to examine the relationship between emotional labour, stress, and strategies for coping with stress among teachers from Israel's northern periphery. We use the term periphery as a socio-economic and geographic concept: the northern part refers to Eastern Galilee (including the towns of Tiberius, Kiryat Shmona, and Katzrin). Topics of conversation in the staffroom indicate pressure and stress to be characteristics that are immanent to the profession; teaching requires emotional work which takes a toll on teachers. This emotional work is usually only studied from one of two perspectives: professional or individual, and this study seeks to expand the observation perspective in order to examine the relationship between emotional labour, stress, and strategies for coping with stress. Managing emotions is clearly an essential aspect of teaching; however, due to the fact that it has not yet been identified as an integral element that affects the quality of teaching, there is a notable disconnect between teacher burnout and emotion studies. This article aims to synthesize the literature and bridge the gap. The research questions are concerned with the common causes and effects of stress for teachers and the various strategies used in coping with this stress. In order to establish the relationship between teaching as emotional labour and the causes and results of stress, the central questions of this study attempt to examine the relationship between levels of stress and emotions as a fundamental characteristic in teaching as emotional labour. The main findings show that teachers feel pressured by the fact that they invest the majority of their time, whether it be at school or at home, in fulfilling their work responsibilities. While the stress is due to factors outside of their control, the responses to this stress are within their control, and teachers find having ‘good friends and family’ as social support and a ‘positive attitude’ as a tool of thinking to be effective coping strategies. That is why teachers need to learn to smile the stress a way.
Quantum anomalous Hall effect in Mn doped HgTe quantum wells

Magnetotransport measurements are presented on paramagnetic (Hg,Mn)Te quantum wells (QWs) with an inverted band structure. Gate-voltage controlled density dependent measurements reveal an unusual behavior in the transition regime from n- to p-type conductance: A very small magnetic field of approximately 70 mT is sufficient to induce a transition into the nu = -1 quantum Hall state, which extends up to at least 10 Tesla. The onset field value remains constant for a unexpectedly wide gate-voltage range. Based on temperature and angle-dependent magnetic field measurements we show that the unusual behavior results from the realization of the quantum anomalous Hall state in these magnetically doped QWs.
Life Cycle of Dust in the Magellanic Clouds and the Milky Way

To a great extent, our understanding of the life cycle of dust is based on the observational and theoretical studies of the Milky Way and the Magellanic Clouds, which will be the topic of this contribution. Over past years, a large volume of observations with unprecedented spatial resolution has been accumulated for the Milky Way. It permits investigations of different stages of the life cycle of dust, from its formation in stellar sources to destruction in star-forming regions and supernovae shocks. Observations of dust emission, extinction, polarisation of light, and interstellar element depletions in the solar neighbourhood provide the most accurate constraints for the reference dust models applied to study extragalactic systems. However, global spatial studies of the circumstellar and interstellar dust are complicated in the Milky Way disk because of high extinction, confusion along the line of sight and large uncertainties in distances. In contrast, the favourable location in the sky and the proximity of the Magellanic Clouds allow detailed multi-wavelength studies of the dust-forming stellar populations and the investigation of variations of the interstellar grain properties for the entire galaxies. They enable the first comparison between the global stardust production rates from theoretical calculations and those from observations, which confirm discrepancy between accumulated stardust mass and observed interstellar dust mass - "the missing dust-source" problem. Modelling of the life cycle of dust in the Large Magellanic Cloud showed that dust growth by mantle accretion in the ISM, a major dust source in the Milky Way, can be responsible for the existing dust mass in the LMC. We will present comparison of the dust input from different sources to the dust budgets of the Milky Way and the Magellanic Clouds, which reveals how the role of these dust sources depends on metallicity.
Influence of test methodology and probe geometry on nanoscale fatigue mechanisms of diamond-like carbon thin film

The aim of this paper is to investigate the mechanism of nanoscale fatigue using nano-impact and multiple-loading cycle nanoindentation tests, and compare it to previously reported findings of nanoscale fatigue using integrated stiffness and depth sensing approach. Two different film loading mechanismmechanisms , loading history and indenter shapes are compared to comprehend the influence of test methodology on the nanoscale fatigue failure mechanisms of a DLC film. An amorphous 100 nm thick DLC film was deposited on a 500 µ m silicon substrate using sputtering of graphite target in pure argon atmosphere. Nano-impact and multiple-load cycle indentations were performed in the load range of 100 100 µ N to 1000 1000 µ N and 0. 1 1 mN to 100 100 mN, respectively. Both test types were conducted using conical and Berkovich indenters. Results indicate that for the case of a conical indenter, the combination of nano-impact and multiple-loading cycle nanoindentation tests provide provides information on the life and failure mechanism of the DLC film, which is comparable to the previously reported findings using the integrated stiffness and depth sensing approach. However, the comparison of results is sensitive to the applied load, loading mechanism, test-type and probe geometry. The loading mechanism and load history is are therefore critical which also leads lead to two different definitions of film failure. The choice of exact test methodology, load and probe geometry should therefore be dictated by the in-service tribological conditions, and where necessary both test methodologies can be used to provide better insights of failure mechanism. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the elastic response of nanoindentation is are reported, which indicates indicate that the elastic modulus of the film measured using MD simulation was higher than that experimentally measured. This difference is attributed to the factors related to the presence of material defects, crystal structure, residual stress, indenter geometry and loading/unloading rate differences between the MD and experimental results. Two different types of low cycle nano-fatigue tests were conducted in this investigation on the 100 nm thick DLC film using the NanoTest™ system. These were (i) nano-impact tests and (ii) multiple-loading cycle nanoindentation tests. Both of these test-types were conducted using the Berkovich indenter probe with a negative rake angle of 65.3°, and also a conical indenter apex angle and 10 µm tip radius. The former was used to promote stress concentration and drive fracture in the whereas the stress field using the conical indenter did not promote stress concentrations in the contact region due to probe geometry.
Survey Paper on Big Data Processing and Hadoop Components

The term ‘Big Data’, refers to data sets whose size (volume), complexity (variability), and rate of growth (velocity) make them difficult to capture, manage, process or analyzed. To analyze this enormous amount of data Hadoop can be used. However, processing is often time-consuming. One way to decrease response time is to executing the job partially, where an approximate, early result becomes available to the user, before completion of job. The implementation of the technique will be on top of Hadoop which will help to sample HDFS blocks uniformly. We will evaluate this technique using real-world datasets and applications and we will try to demonstrate the system’s performance in terms of accuracy and time. The objective of the proposed technique is to significantly improve the performance of Hadoop MapReduce for efficient Big Data processing.
A Review on Scale up the Performance of Collaborative Filtering Algorithm

: Now a days everything goes digital from retail stores to Government offices. Also Digital India scheme is declared for digital empowerment where every information is digitally available. In this era of Information or Internet explosion data and choices are increases tremendously. More and more choices demands good recommendations so recommendation system came into the picture. It is very useful substitute for user to discover items or information that they might not have found by themselves easily. Collaborative filtering is the process of filtering for the information or for the patterns using techniques involving collaboration among viewpoints, multiple users or data sources etc. In Literature it is proven the most efficient technique to provide recommendations. This paper describes the techniques to scale up the performance of collaborative filtering algorithm to provide recommendation.

TexTonic: Interactive visualization for exploration and discovery of very large text collections

TexTonic is a visual analytic system for interactive exploration of very large unstructured text collections. TexTonic visualizes hierarchical clusters of representative terms, snippets, and documents in a single, multi-scale spatial layout. Exploration is supported by interacting with the visualization and directly manipulating the terms in the visualization using semantic interactions. These semantic interactions steer the underlying analytic model by translating user interactions within the visualization to contextual updates to the supporting data model. The combination of semantic interactions and information visualization at multiple levels of the data hierarchy helps users manage information overload so that they can more effectively explore very large text collections. In this article, we describe TexTonic’s data processing and analytic pipeline, user interface and interaction design principles, and results of a user study conducted mid-development with experienced data analysts. We also discuss the implications TexTonic could have on visual exploration and discovery tasks.
Analysis of the jointly adapting and asynchronously configured V.32 modem implementation

The authors describe an implementation of a V.32 modem using new concepts which make it possible to realize a completely digital V.32 modem. The first new concept incorporated is a jointly adapting echo canceler and equalizer where the error signal is derived from the final data decisions. Another new concept used in this implementation is a sample rate convertor algorithm. The receive modem transmits and receives data at the same rate, as determined by the receiving modem. Since the sending modem is typically asynchronous to the receiving modem, a sample rate conversion of the receive data to the rate at which the data were sampled at the sending modem is required in order to recover every data sample transmitted. These concepts are analyzed, and their importance in realizing a completely digital modem is discussed. Results of the actual software solutions are shown along with a block diagram of the final implementation. <<ETX>>
Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy Detection of Ricin B Chain in Human Blood

Over the past few years, ricin has been discussed frequently because of letters sent to high-ranking government officials containing the easily extracted protein native to castor beans. Ricin B chain, commercially available and not dangerous when separated from the A chain, enables development of ricin sensors while minimizing the hazards of working with a bioterror agent that does not have a known antidote. Recent events have increased the risk of ricin exposure for civilians, and there is a need for rapid, real-time detection of ricin. To this end, aptamers have been used recently as an affinity agent to enable the detection of ricin in food products via surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) on colloidal substrates. One goal of this work is to extend ricin sensing into human whole blood; this goal requires application of a commonly used plasmonic surface, the silver film-over-nanosphere (AgFON) substrate, which offers stable SERS enhancement factors of 106 in human whole blood. Herein, this aptamer.
Smart-Cut : a new silicon on insulator material technology based on hydrogen implantation and wafer bonding . Smart-Cut : A New Silicon On Insulator Material Technology Based on Hydrogen Implantation and Wafer Bonding

An alternative route to existing silicon on insulator (SOI) material technologies such as SIMOX (separation by implanted oxygen) and BESOI (bonded and etch-back SOI) is the new Smart-Cut process, which appears to be a good candidate to achieve ULSI criteria. The Smart-Cut process involves two technologies: wafer bonding and ion implantation associated with a temperature treatment which induces a in-depth splitting of the implanted wafer. The details of the Smart-Cut process, the physical phenomena involved in the different technological steps such as hydrogen implantation related mechanisms and wafer bonding are discussed. The characteristics of the final structure in terms of thickness homogeneity, crystalline defects, surface microroughness, and electrical characterization are presented. Other applications of this process are also highlighted. Export citation and abstract Dat e s Received 6 September 1996 Accepted 28 November 1996 C it at io n Michel Bruel et al 1997 Jpn. J. Appl.

Optimizing the Extraction of Acid-soluble Collagen Inside the Eggshell Membrane

Extraction of collagen from the eggshell membrane was optimized by the methodology of response surface. The Central Composite Design (CCD) was applied. This was done to find the optimum combination of acetic acid concentration (0.1‒0.9 mol/L), temperature (5‒25°C), stirring speed (100‒500 rpm) and extraction time (12‒36 h) to maximize the acid soluble collagen (ASC) extraction. The highest amount of extraction was theoretically predicted to be 8.55%, under the optimal. The recovery experimental ASC, was calculated to be 8.35%, which confirms the predicted value, thereby confirming the reliability of the method. Analysis of amino acids revealed glycine (308 residues/1 000 residues) as the major amino acid and showed imino acids of 229 residues/1 000 residues. ASC had minimum solubility at pH 7. No changes in solubility were observed in the presence of NaCl concentrations that did not exceed 4% (w/v). The denaturation temperature was 46.8°C which correlated suitably with imino acid contents.
Channel Characterization for Underwater Acoustic Communcation in the Shallow Sea-Water

This paper is intended to model the communication channel which is sea-water for the propagation of the acoustic signals. The shallow water experiences lots of turbulence due to high-speed winds blowing on the sea, which leads to breaking of the waves and thus formation of cloud bubbles. These bubbles are responsible for the variations in the sound speed profile causing potential attenuation in the signal strength, which is again dependent on the depth below the sea-surface. Thus, as the depth increases the bubble size and the density decrease. This distribution of the bubble plumes model the channel and their effect is dominant in rough seasurface. The bubble model by Norton et al., is used to give the parabolic distribution of the bubble size and density depending on the wind speed and depth below the surface. This model thus can be used to obtain the frequency response of the non-uniform channel, and so scattering due to bubble plumes is major cause for attenuation.
The night and day of dung beetles (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae) in the Serra do Japi, Brazil: elytra colour related to daily activity

In the present study 387 dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) were surveyed at the Serra do Japi, in the Atlantic Forest in Sao Paulo State, with four baited pitfall traps during the months of December, 1998, and January, 1999 during eight 24 hour cycles. A total of 30 species were identified and temporal variation in activity patterns among the species shows a specialization in the use of food resources: 9 species were classified as nocturnal and 13 as diurnal. The daily activity pattern of dung beetles does not necessarily correspond to the taxonomic classification, but is strongly related to the colouring of species, determined by predominant elytra colour: nocturnal species have 89 % more chances of being black as opposed to colourful. Black nocturnal species might have evolved as an interspecific adaptation to avoid predation (cryptic colouring). Among the colourful diurnal dung beetles, measure of body length of each species shows that development of bright colouring was more often found in medium to large species, which suggests that colouring evolved as a response to intraspecific pressures, important in agonistic encounters among males.
