Systematic Review of Robotics Use Since 2005

Robotics is one of the technologies used to design and operate robots. Currently, robots can be seen everywhere and in a variety of fields to obtain the most benefit from this technology; however, some fields may not be researched and studied as much as they should. Therefore, this paper presents a survey of the current studies on robotics from 2005 until now in order to find these fields. This paper finds that the aerospace, service, forestry, architectural, agricultural, and marine robotic fields have the least number of collected research papers, whereas the medical/healthcare has the most. This paper also provides some suggestions for each field; the one regarding the least researched fields is making more researches in these fields. Moreover, most papers do not discuss communication between robots, and have not made any real productions.
A Comprehensive Study of Power-Efficient Rendezvous Schemes for Wireless Sensor Networks

A Comprehensive Study of Power-Efficient Rendezvous Schemes for Wireless Sensor Networks by En-Yi Lin Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering-Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences University of California, Berkeley Professor Jan Rabaey, Chair Wireless sensor networks comprise of a large number of wireless sensor nodes, densely deployed in a wide area without a predetermined topology. With such characteristics, wireless sensor networks produce easily accessible information about the physical environment, which spans a broad range of applications in this realm. Wireless sensor nodes are characterized by their limited power resources. Given typical sensor network traffic loads, one of the most effective ways to minimize power consumption is to power off nodes as much as possible. With this approach, it is necessary to arrange simultaneous on-time for nodes to communicate, a method referred to as a rendezvous scheme. This research proposes and analyzes three major categories of rendezvous schemes, and compares their performances. The chosen performance evaluation metrics include both power efficiency and latency, which are the most important factors in wireless sensor networks. The rendezvous schemes are compared against one another in different network scenarios, namely, different traffic loads, data packet sizes, network densities, channel fading conditions, and with different transceivers. The results, obtained by both analysis and simulation, identify different network environment as the most appropriate scenario for different categories of schemes to operate in. In short, this research incorporates the physical layer and upper layer influences on rendezvous schemes to provide a general guideline on which rendezvous scheme to select for different sensor network scenarios.
Experiences with the Learning Resource Exchange for schools in Europe

Summary This paper reports on the experiences of the first large scale effort to share educational resources for schools in Europe. As such it does not address authoring or the use of learning resources, but provides experiences of interest to any organisation wishing to act as an educational content broker, matching supply with demand. Even though there are many educational resource repositories, they are many times inaccessible to teachers due to a number of reasons, such as not knowing about their existence, the different ways of describing the content, language barriers, etc. In order to overcome these difficulties, the Learning Resource Exchange (LRE) brings together educational content from trusted providers from all over Europe and makes it available again to interested parties. This requires the implementation of a number of technical solutions, including a so-called “federation of repositories” with a common application profile for the metadata standard used and its accompanying validation services. Concerning educational content, this paper reports on the use of open content licenses and the difficulties of implementing them; the indexing of content by experienced professionals and by casual users; automatic translation and automatic metadata generation, and perceived pedagogical benefits of the resources provided. By implementing and using a portal for the LRE, European teachers have obtained deeper insights in searching and browsing, finding the offered learning resources useful for the classroom and appreciating the cross-linguistic and cross-border use of content. The concept of an international portal was also considered as an important opportunity for cultural exchange and a way to broaden horizons in terms of getting new ideas for teaching from other countries.
EFFICACY OF SILVER NANOPARTICLES SYNTHESIZED ON Commiphora gileadensis (BALSAM) EXTRACT AGAINST INFECTIOUS BACTERIA

Compare to the other metal ion, silver nanoparticles has wide application in the field of microbiology and pharmacology drug. The aim of present study was to synthesize cheap and eco-friendly silver nanoparticles on Commiphora gileadensis extract and evaluate its antimicrobial properties against selected bacterial strains. Aqueous extract of C. gileadensis was used for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles. These synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by using UV spectrophotometer, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and EDX. The characterization of AgNPs was carried out by uvvis spectrum at λmax = 435 nm and the peak was correlated to the plasmonic nature of the particles as reported by number of earlier reports. In addition, EDX spectrum has been showed four peaks corresponding to the silver, zinc, carbon and oxygen. The results of present study indicated that the plant extract has very important role in the synthesis of AgNPs. Antibacterial activity of nanoparticles was evaluated using CFU method against E.coli O157:H7 and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Synthesized nanoparticles exhibit significant antibacterial activity against the infectious bacteria. * Corresponding author

1V high-speed digital circuit technology with 0.5/spl mu/m multi-threshold CMOS

A 1-V high-speed and low-power digital circuit technology with 0.5/spl mu/m multi-threshold CMOS (MT-CMOS) is proposed. This technology applies both low-threshold voltage and high-threshold voltage MOSFETs in one LSI. Low-threshold voltage MOSFETs enhance speed performance at a supply voltage of 1 V or less. High-threshold voltage MOSFETs suppress the stand-by leakage circuit during the sleep period. The technology has achieved logic gate characteristics of a 1.7-ns propagation delay time and 0.3-/spl mu/W/MHz/gate power dissipation. To demonstrate its effectiveness, a standard cell based PLL-LSI was designed as a carrying vehicle. An 18-MHz operation at 1 V was obtained using a 0.5-/spl mu/m MT-CMOS process. <<ETX>>
Parallel Genetic Algorithms In A NetworkedWorkstation Environment

Parallel Genetic Algorithms are suited to deal with problems with very large solution spaces and they can support efficient parallel distribution of work. In a PGA Island Model the migration strategy can take advantage of high latency communication channels in a distributed system. This approach suggests the use of networked workstation environments as a cost effective alternative to MPP systems. A Genetic Algorithm Programming System (GAPS) was developed to evaluate the proposed approach, which supports the design of parallel genetic programs and its execution in a distributed workstation environment. GAPS separates the specification of the problem and the user application interface, from the implementation and management details of the run-time environment; it also addresses fault tolerance, needed to recover from a fault that may occur in a dynamic network of heterogeneous workstations. GAPS uses PVM to implement a structural load balance strategy, which distributes complex evaluation functions with large chromosomes across a parallel machine. The proposed system showed to be effective when tested with the knapsack problem.
Estimating rates of rare events through a multidimensional dynamic hierarchical Bayesian framework

We consider the problem of estimating occurrence rates of rare events for extremely sparse data using pre-existing hierarchies and selected features to perform inference along multiple dimensions. In particular, we focus on the problem of estimating click rates for {Advertiser, Publisher, and User} tuples where both the Advertisers and the Publishers are organized as hierarchies that capture broad contextual information at different levels of granularities. Typically, the click rates are low, and the coverage of the hierarchies and dimensions is sparse. To overcome these difficulties, we decompose the joint prior of the three-dimensional click-through rate using tensor decomposition and propose a multidimensional hierarchical Bayesian framework abbreviated as MadHab. We set up a specific framework of each dimension to model dimension-specific characteristics. More specifically, we consider the hierarchical beta process prior for the Advertiser dimension and for the Publisher dimension respectively and a feature-dependent mixture model for the User dimension. Besides the centralized implementation, we propose two distributed algorithms through MapReduce and Spark for inferences, which make the model highly scalable and suited for large scale data mining applications. We demonstrate that on a real world ads campaign platform, our framework can effectively discriminate extremely rare events in terms of their click propensity.

Language and Compiler Parallelization Support for Hashtables

We provide language and compiler support for auto-parallelization of code employing hash-tables, i.e., using our language support, users can write sequential programs employing hash-tables and our compiler will convert that sequential code to a parallel one, which runs efficiently on multiple cores. The data dependences which may be present in the user code are analyzed by our compiler, and based on it, it will try to extract as much parallelism as possible from the user code. The programmer is provided with a set of hash-table functions, which he can use as normal serial functions without any parallelism concerns. Still, our compiler is able to transform the code into a parallel one. The auto-parallelism of code employing hash-table is implemented using Pluto – an automatic parallelization tool based on the polyhedral model. This allows transformed code to benefit from polyhedral representation of programs. Our code has given ideal performance when parallelized and run on a multi-core system with 12 cores. The transformed code gives a speedup of 6.56× over single thread execution for a string counting application and the speedup increases to 10× for a permutation counting application. When compared to manually written TBB code for polynomial multiplication, our code gives a speedup of 1.8×.

Comparison of Mobile Web Browsers for Smartphones

ABSTRACT Previous studies on mobile Web browsers have focused on phone features and technical performance, but not on the user interface. In this study, we compared three mobile Web browsers in the iPhone and ultimately proposed recommendations for the design of mobile Web browsers for smartphones. To develop such recommendations, we redefined the user interface (UI) components of mobile Web browsers from previous studies to conform to smartphones and compared the Chrome, Safari, and Opera Mini-browsers. To do this, we conducted experiments on usability tests with several dependent variables, including usefulness, perceived time reduction, minimal action, usability, ease to memorize, learnability, fun, and satisfaction. Finally, we developed several recommendations, based on the experimental results and participant interviews, which will fulfill user needs for the interface design of mobile Web browsers for smartphones. Multi-windows need to be implemented in a 3D environment. Developers should consider UI components and features that ease learning how to use the browser for novice users.
NiMo syntax: part 1

Many formalisms for the specification for concurrent and distributed systems have emerged. In particular considering boxes and strings approaches. Examples are action calculi, rewriting logic and graph rewriting, bigraphs. The boxes and string metaphor is addressed with different levels of granularity. One of the approaches is to consider a process network as an hypergraph. Based in this general framework, we encode NiMo nets as a class of Annotated hypergraphs. This class is defined by giving the alphabet and the operations used to construct such programs. Therefore we treat only editing operations on labelled hypergraphs and afterwards how this editing operation affects the graph. Graph transformation (execution rules) is not covered here.

Crystal data for 2: triclinic, P (1) over bar, a = 10,3183(9) Angstrom, b = 10.7501(10) Angstrom, c = 10.8315(10) Angstrom, alpha = 73.436(2)degrees, beta = 79.648(2)degrees, gamma = 83.260(2)degrees, Z = 2. Crystal data for 3: trigonal, R (3) over bar, a = 16.4993(15) Angstrom, b = 16.4993(15) Angstrom, c = 12.704(3) Angstrom, Z = 3. Their frameworks are all built up with TiO6 octahedra and PO4, PO2(OH)(2), PO3(OH) and/or PO2(=O)(OH) tetrahedral units. Compound 1 is an ethylenediamine intercalated layered titanium phosphate in which the layers are similar to that of gamma-type titanium phosphate. Both 2 and 3 are of open-framework type, and the diprontonated organic amine molecules are entrapped in 12-membered-ring channels for 2 and 8-membered-ring channels for 3.
Mechanisms for hiding communication latency in data parallel architectures

The goal of this dissertation is to explore techniques to improve the performance of interprocessor communication on data parallel architectures. In many cases, interprocessor communication latency is a significant fraction of the overall time required to execute data parallel applications. The lockstep model of execution used by more traditional SIMD machines does not admit any possibility of exploiting task parallelism. We will demonstrate that a shift in the SIMD paradigm to enable a small degree of task parallelism can reduce the communication overhead independent of any improvements in technology. In this work, we identify two primary mechanisms for exploiting communication concurrency in data parallel applications: overlapping communication with computation, and overlapping communication with other communication. We propose an architectural framework, referred to as concurrently communicating SIMD (CCSIMD), to exploit communication concurrency in data parallel applications, and study three specific implementations of CCSIMD. The impact of these architectures on a suite of data parallel applications is studied. Results show that exploiting communication concurrency can lead to significant improvements in performance. For well-balanced architectures, overlapping communication with other computation offers the most benefit. In architectures with relatively stronger computational support, overlapping communication with other communication is better. Combining the two techniques can often result in better performance than employing either technique by itself.
