A Highly Available , Hash-Based , Autonomous Data Structure for Time-Bound , Brute Force Calculation in the Cloud

The apparently unlimited resources of modern clouds bring distributed computing to the masses. We propose a new data structure for the organization of embarrassingly parallel calculations based on the cloud paradigm of easily creating and destroying virtual machines rented at low cost. The data structure has nodes materialize, scan, and discard virtual records and aggregate the scan results within a time limit provided by the client and is an instance of a scalable distributed virtual data structure. It is based on extensible hashing. We show how to deal with variances in the node capacities and how to make the structure resilient to failures.

A Comparison of Cooling Schedule in Spent Nuclear Fuel Grouping Optimization by Simulated Annealing for Dry Cask Loading

In June 2017, Korea’s unit 1 of the Kori nuclear power plant (NPP) has been permanently shut down, and there is a growing interest in transportation/storage (T/S) of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) as well as safely managing cask for it. In addition, there are thousands of SNF in the spent fuel storage pool (SFP), and safety limits such as criticality, surface dose and temperature, and fuel cladding peak temperature should be considered when they are loaded in the T/S casks. The thousands of SNF are stored in each SFP. Thus, if the SNFs of each SFP are loaded into the T/S casks, tens to hundreds of casks are needed. if the SNF with enough cooling time is loaded into the cask, the safety limits of the cask are mostly satisfied. However, if the SNFs are loaded one by one, some casks may be loaded with a higher safety margin, while others may have very low safety margins. Therefore, in order to have similar high safety margins as a whole, it is necessary to optimize the fuel groups and the loading pattern to be loaded into each cask. However, optimizing the selection of the SNF and LP for each cask is too big a problem, so that the time and computation consumption can be large. Therefore, the whole problem is divided into two steps in order to solve the whole problem efficiently. The first step is to optimize the grouping of the SNF by selecting the SNF for each cask, and the second step is to optimize the LP to load the selected SNF to meet the safety limits. In this study, only the reactivity was considered. And in the two-step, the LP for each cask is fixed as a model that is empirically known to have relatively low criticality, and the model is that the fuel assembly (FA) with high burnup is placed on the inside, and the FA with low burnup is placed on the outside. The grouping method uses the simulated annealing (SA) algorithm, which is often used for optimization problems [1], and the efficiency tests were performed according to cooling schedules that affect the optimization efficiency of SA.
PM Deliberation , Practical Reasoning and Problem-solving

We present a series of realistic examples of deliberation and discuss how they can form the basis for building a typology of deliberation dialogues. The observations from our examples are used to suggest that argumentation researchers and philosophers have been thinking about deliberation in overly simplistic ways. We argue that to include all the kinds of argumentation that make up realistic deliberations, it is necessary to distinguish between different kinds of deliberations. We propose a model including a problem-solving type of deliberation based on practical reasoning, characterised by revisions of the initial issue made necessary by the agents’ increased knowledge of new circumstances.
NUMERICAL SOLUTION FOR A TRANSIENT PROBLEM OF A SANDSTONE LAYER ON A SOIL FOUNDATION UNDER VERTICAL LOAD USING BEM

This work presents a numerical analysis of wave propagation in a poroviscoelastic media. A problem of a sandstone layer on a soil foundation under vertical load is considered. Sandstone is assumed to be poroelastic, soil is assumed to be poroviscoelastic. The poroviscoelastic formulation is treated as a combination of Biot’s theory of poroelasticity and elasticviscoelastic correspondence principle. Kelvin-Voigt model is employed to introduce viscoelastic effects of porous material skeleton. The three dimensional boundary-value problem in poroviscoelastic formulation is numerically solved using boundary element method (BEM) and boundary integral equation (BIE) method. Results are obtained in Laplace domain. Modified Durbin’s algorithm of numerical inversion of Laplace transform is used to perform solutions in time domain.
FABRICATION OF HIGH ENERGY DENSITY CAPACITORS WITH MICROMACHINED CARBON NANOFIBER ELECTRODES

A three-step fabrication process has been implemented to generate carbon nanofiber electrodes. The method utilizes electrospinning of negative tone photopatternable epoxy SU-8, lithographical patterning, and carbonization. Taking advantage of their high surface area-to-volume ratio, low resistivity, and chemical stability, the carbon nanofibers have been applied as electrodes to fabricate high energy density capacitors. A capacitance of 1.782 nF/mm using 45 nm SiO2 as a dielectric layer has been obtained. Successful device implementation and enhanced performance suggest that these carbon nanofiber electrodes also hold promise in extended applications as microbattery anodes and sensor electrodes.
Association of ALDH 2 rs 671 polymorphism with essential hypertension : a case-control study in non-drinking Han Chinese

Objective: This study was aimed to investigate the association of acetaldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) rs671 polymorphism with the risk of essential hypertension (EH). Methods: 137 EH patients and 102 healthy individuals in Chinese Han population were selected as the study subjects. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was applied to detect ALDH2 rs671 polymorphism. Association between ALDH2 rs671 polymorphism and EH risk was calculated by Chi-square test. Risk intensity of EH was represented by odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: Systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and total cholesterol (TC) had high levels in cases than that in controls (P<0.05), while other characteristics had no significant difference between the two groups. AA genotype and A allele of rs671 might increase the risk of EH (P=0.023, OR=3.195, 95% CI=1.128-9.049; P=0.013, OR=1.759, 95% CI=1.124-2.751). After adjusted by age, SBP, DBP, body mass index (BMI), triglyceride (TG) and TC, the association had no obvious change (P=0.040, OR=3.402, 95% CI=1.037-1.824; P=0.028, OR=1.853, 95% CI=1.142-3.045). Conclusions: ALDH2 rs671 polymorphism might act as a risk factor for the onset of EH in non-drinking Han Chinese.
The Representation of Vocoid [ əә ] in Indonesian Phonological Development of Preschool-Aged Children with Hearing Impairment

This study aims to describe the representation of vocoid [əә] phonological developments in the Indonesian language on deaf preschool-age children. Therefore, the collection of data is done longitudinally. A data source is a group of three deaf children TKLB-B (Nursery School of Students with Special Needs) who had the mild, moderate, and severe degrees of the deaf, and who did not have multiple impairments. The data is in the form of utterance that is capable of giving vocoid representation [əә] of deaf preschool-age children. The data collected by using observation, fishing, logging, and recording techniques. The collected data are then analyzed by sorting, reversals, and connections techniques. Based on the results of the study, there were four representations of vocoid [əә] phonological developments in the Indonesian language on deaf preschool-age children; (1) indeed, they used the word contain vocoid [əә], (2) they used it to replace the other vocoid, (3) along with vocoid [a] it formed a diphthong [aəә], (4) they used it to replace the sound on syllable of the end of a word. Keywords— vocoid representation [əә], the development of deaf children
Biometric Template Feature Extraction And Matching Using CANNY Edge Detection And SIFT Based Algorithm

To ensure the actual presence of real image in contrast to a fake image is one of the significant problem in biometric authentication. Many biometrics methods have been developed and it is currently used in face, iris, fingerprint, palm print etc., in order to detect whether it is real or fake image and provide authentication to real image. But still there is lagging in providing perfect security and authentication to the biometric. The great challenge to biometrics is thus to improve recognition performance in terms of both accuracy and efficiency and it greatly resistant to deceptive practices. The finger-bone X-ray images and skull front view are the promising biometric pattern for personal identification in terms of its security and authentication. By using biometric template feature extraction and matching techniques it can be efficiently distinguish the real X-ray samples from fake X-ray samples and provide authentication to real Xray sample.
WNT 10 B / β-catenin Signaling Induces HMGA 2 and Proliferation in Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

As you will see from the enclosed reports, the article should be streamlined to clarify the message as suggested by both referees 1 and 3. All three reviewers are concerned with lack of controls, lack of or inappropriate statistical analysis, and unconvincing experiments. They do suggest, however, ways of improving the manuscript that would involve a lot of additional (experimental) work. I am uncertain whether you will be able (or willing) to return a revised manuscript within the 3 months deadline and I would understand your decision if you choose to rather seek rapid publication elsewhere.
ScienceDirect Management and prevention of mastitis : A multifactorial approach with a focus on milking , bedding and data-management

Mastitis is a complex, multifactorial disease. Pathogens, cows and farmers (via management) all play a role. It is costly and annoying for the farmer and threatens the image of the entire dairy industry. Prevention and control of mastitis is based on multiple principles that have been known for a long time. To implement them successfully, they should be put forward by a motivated and motivating advisor that transfers the existing knowledge to the farmer. When the changes are data-driven, applied by an encouraged farmer through a farm-specific implementation, prevention and control of mastitis will be successful and result in happy cows, happy farmers, happy advisors, happy consumers, and a happy industry. Nationwide projects focussing on communication and transfer of existing knowledge in prevention and control are very helpful in reaching high numbers of farmers and advisors and harmonizing the message brought by different parties. This paper gives an overview of multifactorial approach of mastitis management and prevention with a focus on milking, bedding and data-analysis.
Biochemical effect of curcumin on hyperlipidemia induced in rats

This study was performed to investigate the effect of oral supplementation of curcumin, garlic extract and olive oil on lipid profile, nitric oxide, adiponectin, endothelin-1, blood glucose and some inflammatory markers in normal, diabetic and hyperlipidemic rats supplementing high fat and cholesterol-enriched diet. Forty female adult albino rats were divided into four equal groups of 10 rats each. Group (1): negative control received normal diet only, group (2): rats fed on normal diet and received curcumin orally, group (3): positive control received hyperlipidemic diet, group (4): rats fed on hyperlipidemic diet and received curcumin (350 mg/ 1 kg b.w.) orally. The obtained results revealed that, curcumin supplementations to hyperlipidemic rats showed a significant increase in serum HDL-cholesterol, nitric oxide, adiponectin and Endothelin-1 concentrations and significantly decrease in serum total cholesterol, triacylglycerols, LDLcholesterol, Fasting blood glucose, Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1C), high sensitive C-reactive protein and Interleukin-6 levels. These results suggest that, curcumin supplementations may have some benefits in patients suffering from dyslipidemia and diabetes.
Higher order mode analysis of circular coaxial waveguides using finite difference

This paper presents a simple technique to evaluate the cut-off wavelengths of circular coaxi<~l waveg" ides employ ing the method of linite difference. Curvilinear rec tangular meshing has been employed to subdivide the cross-sect ional region between the two conductors. Helmholtz equation in po lar form is solved with the appropriate boundary condition to evaluate the cut-off wavenumbers and correspondingly the cut-off wavelengths forTE and TM modes. Plots of cut-off wavelengths of few modes for various ratios of outer-to-inner radii are depicted. The data obtained from analytical expressions are compared to justify the validity of the analysis.
NUMERICAL TOOLS FOR CONTRA-ROTATING OPEN-ROTOR PERFORMANCE, NOISE AND VIBRATION ASSESSMENT

Increasing the by-pass ratio of turbofans was successful in the past decades to increase the propulsive efficiency. The ultimate in this sense is the Contra-Rotating Open-Rotor (CROR) which offers a potential of 20% fuel burn reduction relative to classical turbofan engines in service today. Mitigating the inherent noise & vibration issues associated with this propulsion concept, calls for high-fidelity analysis tools. This paper highlights the development of CFD/CAA/FEM-based tools to address these issues.
Climate-smart agricultural innovations and rural poverty in Ethiopia

Climate-smart innovations are receiving increasing attention in policy dialogues for their potential to transform agricultural systems and improve the well-being and resilience of farm households. Using a recent panel data from Ethiopia merged with novel historical weather data, we provide microeconomic evidence on the household welfare effects of Conservation Agriculture (CA), a climate-smart agricultural practice. We use a panel data endogenous switching regression model to deal with selection bias and farmer heterogeneity in CA choice. The study finds that the CA practices that play a pivotal role in addressing the exigencies of rural poverty are minimum tillage, cereal-legume intercropping, and their combination. These practices significantly reduce the incidence and depth of poverty in areas prone to rainfall stress, an indication of their risk mitigation role. In contrast, crop residue retention and its combined use with minimum tillage appear not to be economically attractive CA options. The results show that CA portfolios that include minimum tillage and cereallegume associations can accelerate efforts to reduce rural poverty and improve climate risk management. We caution against exaggerated expectations of CA’s economic benefits and a rigid recommendation of CA.
D shear wave velocity structure delineation using ambient noise automatic analysis

Introduction Passive Seismic Interferometry (PSI) is considered as a revolutionary method characterized by a rapid development especially during the last decade. The method was initially based on the theory that the cross-correlation (CC) of random wave fields of ambient seismic noise recorded on two locations (stations) on the Earth’s surface yields an approximation of the Green’s function (GF) of the medium between the two locations. The retrieved empirical GF represents an approximation of the seismic response as if one of the two stations was acting as an impulsive source of surface waves (e.g. Claerbout, 1968; Lobkis and Weaver, 2001; Campillo and Paul, 2003; Shapiro and Campillo, 2004; Wapenaar, 2004; Cutris et al., 2006). Since the retrieved GF carries the signature of the velocity structure between the stations, the inter-station travel-times for surface-waves on multiple paths within a seismic network can be used in a tomographic inversion to image the seismic velocity perturbations, by performing the commonly called Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT). ANT has been widely applied for imaging the velocity structure at continental (e.g. Bensen et al., 2008) and regional scale (e.g. Shapiro et al., 2005) and more recently at local and reservoir scale (e.g. Mordret et al., 2013, 2015). One of the principal advantages of ANT relies on the fact that ambient seismic noise is available almost everywhere on Earth, making ANT totally independent of the spatio-temporal distribution of seismicity. It can provide useful complementary geophysical information for the shallow structures, which sometimes cannot be sufficiently resolved using the classical body-wave tomography, and in some cases, it could be an alternative for exploring seismically quiescent areas. Moreover, ANT is a nondestructive method for seismic imaging, since data are collected without the using active sources, and it is very cost effective. Aiming to demonstrate the efficiency and the usefulness of PSI technique, an Ambient Noise Tomography was performed in southwest Albania, using long time-series of ambient seismic noise recorded during an already completed Passive Seismic Tomography project (Martakis et al., 2013; Polychronopoulou and Martakis, 2016; Orfanos et al., 2016). More specifically, in the context of this study, an initial estimation of the spatial characteristics of the noise field around the seismic network is provided. Then, the Rayleigh-wave empirical GFs, emerging from CCs of ambient seismic noise between the station pairs, are analysed and the emerging waveforms are used to measure Rayleigh-wave group and phase velocity dispersion curves, in order to obtain 2D group and phase velocity maps at different periods. The group and phase velocity measurements are jointly inverted at various depths, in an attempt to assess the shearwave velocity distribution of the area of interest. Finally, these results are discussed and evaluated, taking into consideration the outcome of a previously performed Passive Seismic Tomography study in the same area.

Ambiguity of the equivalence principle and Hawking ’ s temperature

Thereare two inequivalentways in whichthelawsofphysicsin agravitational field can be relatedto thelaws in an inertial frame,whenquantummechanical effectsaretaken into account.This leadsto an ambiguityin the derivationof Hawking’s radiation temperaturefor a black hole: it could be twice the value usuallyconsidered. The physicalprocessby which a black hole emitsHawking radiation seemsto befairly well understoodaccordingto theestablishedview. Oneassumesthat the lawsgoverninga systemin a gravitationalfield can directly be obtainedby viewing the field asgeneratedby anaccelerationrelativeto anothercoordinateframe, whichwe will call the <<inertial frame>>. In theinertial frameno gravitationalfield is felt. If we know the physicallawsin the inertial frame,thenwe canderivethe lawsfor thegravitationalfield. Thisis calledthe <<equivalenceprinciple>>. Strictly speakingthis procedureonly works if thegravitationalfield is <<homogeneous>>. By <<homogeneous>>we meanthat thereis an intertial frame in which the entiregravitationalfield disappears, in somefinite region,notjust at a point. Weak homogeneousfields are also constant,but strong homogeneousfields increasein the direction of the field lines, and havea <<horizon>> wherethe field becomesinfinite. In the succesful theory of generalrelativity the distinction betweenhomogeneousandinhomogeneousfields is not made. In regionsof space-timethat are sufficiently small all fields arehomogeneousand that is all that counts.If quantum mechanicsis switched on we might have to be more careful,however.Our first proposalis now that the equivalenceprinciple might only be valid in the comparisonof two coordinate frames that have a constantaccelerationwith

It is a solid state welding. In this method, non consumable tool runs over the substrates under the water without generating fumes. It consumes less energy. It provides improved mechanical properties. It gives really efficient joint. Very little work has been done in the field of UFSW. Research in this field can really boost up the researchers and academicians.
Decimation Technique on Sierpinski Gasket in External Magnetic Field

The recursion relations of random frustrated Ising spin systems on the Sierpinski gasket placed into an external magnetic field are carried out. Spin glass (SG) and model at zero and non-zero temperature are investigated. Numerical results show the effect of the external magnetic field on the flow of the probability distribution, the scaling properties of stiffness energy and the mean value of the exchange couplings. The free energy decreases exponentially with the external magnetic field. It increases algebraically as the concentration of negative bonds increases. J ±
NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF THE LARGE-SCALE TECTONIC CHANGES ACCOMPANYING THE FLOOD

This paper addresses briefly some of the major difficulties in attempting to understand and model the geological and tectonic change of the Paleozoic and Mesozoic portions of the rock record as occurring during the span of but a single year--the year of the biblical Flood. A relatively simple tectonic model 1s proposed that assumes a pre-Flood earth with a single supercontinent, an Intact Hthosphere (that is, a lithosphere not broken Into plates), and a convecting mantle somewhat wanner than at present. The main energy source for the catastro phe 1s the gravitational potential energy of the cold, dense lithosphere relative to the warmer mantle below. At the onset of the catastrophe, the lithosphere fractures, and Its oceanic portions sink and induce a flow throughout the mantle. Replacement of the pre-Flood oceanic lithosphere with hot, buoyant material from the mantle raises the sea level some 2000 meters. Flow 1n the mantle pulls the supercontinent apart and Induces significant vertical tectonic motions—especially 1n areas where oceanic lithosphere Is being subducted beneath continental regions. Results from a numerical simulation are presented.
