Auto-commissioning and Resource Allocation Based Control of Smart Lights

The objective of this study was to design energy efficient lighting control techniques to obtain the desired lighting levels in different zones of a building despite variations in partition heights (like presence of cubicle structures) and external disturbances. First, a decentralized integral controller, that does not have any communication between the lights, is designed and implemented in the lighting test bed. But it failed to achieve uniform lighting when the cross-illumination effects were very high. To overcome this, a centralized resource allocation based control strategy, inspired by a very simple concept of juggling of balls, was implemented. It was found to be very effective even in cases with high cross-illuminations and was also found to consume a lower amount of energy than the decentralized approach. To deal with a practical case in most commercial buildings, in which there are more lamps and fewer sensors (due to the high cost of sensors), an auto-commissioning algorithm is developed which dynamically groups the lamps and sensors and performs control based on the coupling in the system. It was found to be very effective in achieving the desired lighting levels for different configurations of the test bed. ii to Amma, Daddy & Sowmya

BARRIERS TO GENE EXCHANGE BETWEEN CLOSELY RELATED CRICKET SPECIES. II. LIFE CYCLE VARIATION AND TEMPORAL ISOLATION

The closely related field crickets Gryllus firmus and Gryllus pennsylvanicus are known to hybridize in a zone of contact that extends over more than 800 km from the Blue Ridge in Virginia to southern Connecticut. Here I present evidence that the extent of temporal reproductive isolation of the two cricket species varies along the length of the zone. Adults of G. firmus and G. pennsylvanicus occur synchronously in Connecticut but G. firmus matures significantly later than G. pennsylvanicus along the Blue Ridge in Virginia.
Modelling of electromagnetic scattering from large and general intakes on complex platforms

In the framework of the design of low observable aircraft, one of the most difficult problem is the numerical modelling of aeronautical air intakes with an — usually complex — arbitrary shape. Also the presence of radio absorbing material demands for accurate methods in evaluating the low level scattering for real life problems. In this contribution the use of a full wave approach, based on the Multilevel Fast Multipole Approach (MLFMA) is addressed, for a high fidelity modelling of the whole (real life) aircraft as well as the intake contribution, useful in the design and optimization stage of the intake itself.
Opioids and cancer recurrence: A brief review of the literature

Opioids are the most commonly used analgesics during and after cancer surgery and in patients with advanced malignancies who suffer from moderate to severe pain. It has been suggested that opioids can promote cancer progression through different mechanisms including a direct effect on malignant cells, stimulation of angiogenesis and immunosuppression. In contrast, other studies have shown that opioids have anticancer effects. The results of clinical studies remain controversial with some evidence indicating that a high expression of the mu opioid receptor is an independent factor of tumor progression while other studies indicate that the administration of opioids perioperatively is associated with cancer recurrence. Unfortunately, all those clinical studies are retrospective and suffer from significant confounding variables and biases. To date, there is no solid evidence to suggest the avoidance of opioids in cancer patients with moderate to significant with the goal of reducing cancer recurrence. Some authors have suggested the use of spinal administration of opioids in order to reduce systemic effects. Careful use of opioids should be advise to reduce side effects or hyperalgesia in relation to specific needs of the patients.

Widely linear channel estimation for LD‐STBC MB‐OFDM UWB systems

The combination of Linear Dispersion Space‐Time Block Codes (LD‐STBCs) and Multiband Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Ultra‐WideBand (MB‐OFDM UWB) technologies has been proposed in the literature to improve the error performance and data rate. Recently, it has been shown that the LD codes allow the repetitions of data symbols conjugates. They cause a transformation of the Multiple‐Input Multiple‐Output (MIMO) channel that requires a Widely Linear (WL) filtering. However, proposed LD‐STBC MB‐OFDM UWB system does not take this issue into account. In this paper, we propose a Widely Linear Minimum Mean Square Error (WLMMSE) channel estimator for LD‐STBC MB‐OFDM UWB systems. The proposed channel estimator proceeds to WL estimation instead of linear one. Via simulation results, we prove that the LD‐STBCs provide significant performance gain for MB‐OFDM UWB system compared to Single‐Input Single‐Output (SISO) configuration. We show also that the proposed WLMMSE channel estimator outperforms the LMMSE one. This performance improvement is observed for both proper and improper signal constellations. Additionally, the computational complexity of our proposal is comparable with that of LMMSE estimator. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
1 0 Se p 20 12 A Framework for Concurrent Imperative Programming

The proposed framework provides a general model of concurrent imperative programming. Programs are modeled as formal languages and concurrency as an interleaving (or shuffle) operator. This yields a simple and elegant algebra of programs. The framework supports the views program logic by Dinsdale-Young and others, which generalizes various type systems and separation logic approaches to program correctness. It also validates familiar operational calculi in small-step and big-step flavours. The consistency of the program logic with respect to the operational rules is established directly and does not use induction on derivations. In fact the whole framework uses only straightforward mathematics. Parametric in states, views and basic commands, it can be instantiated to a variety of concrete languages and settings.
Experience of a Personnel Manager Resolving Conflict in the Organization

This paper examines the experiences of personnel managers in Lithuania in solving conflict in the organization. The data were collected by means of a semi-structured interview. A thematic analysis was employed to achieve the goal. The results revealed three common themes: “conflicts caused by changes”, “conflict prevention”, “going through the conflict”. It was established that even though personnel managers use various strategies for avoiding conflict, they became involved, they experience strong negative emotional reactions.
Higher Education for Smart Specialisation: The case of Navarre, Spain

This report gathers the main findings extracted from the Navarre case study carried out in the framework of the Higher Education and Smart Specialisation (HESS) project managed by the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission. Navarre has been one of the two regions covered as case studies during the first phase of the project. The overall aim of HESS is to understand and provide support to national and regional authorities on how to integrate higher education into the policy mixes of their Smart Specialisation Strategies (S3). This technical report provides some interesting insights into how an advanced region with high involvement of universities in the early phase of S3 definition is facing the challenges of their role in the implementation phase. On the one hand, it shows that different universities in the same region are likely to vary in nature and function and as such may contribute differently to the S3. In Navarre, one of the two universities is more research oriented with a strong focus on the attraction of international talent, while the other is more regionally rooted with close ties to local companies and stakeholders. On the other hand, the report identifies tensions in engaging individual researchers in regional development activities, as well as potential mechanisms and tools to overcome them. The methodology used during the project has included qualitative research methods, participatory workshops and desk-research activities.
Improving side information generation using dynamic motion estimation for distributed video coding

A new side information generation algorithm using dynamic motion estimation and post processing is proposed for improved distributed video coding. Multiple reference frames are employed for motion estimation at the side information frame generation block of the decoder. After motion estimation and compensation, post processing is applied to improve the hole and overlapped areas on the reconstructed side information frame. The proposed side information method contributes to improve the quality of reconstructed frames at the distributed video decoder. The average encoding time of the distributed video coding is around 15% of H.264 inter coding and 40% of H.264 intra coding. The proposed side information based distributed video coding demonstrates improved performance compared with that of H.264 intra coding.
PECULIARITIES IN FOOD CHAIN OF SUNDARBAN TIGER RESERVERECENT CASE STUDIES

INTRODUCTION The saltwater crocodile, an opportunist apex predator, largest among all living reptiles, capable of taking nearly any animals that enters its territory either in water or in dry land. Large adult estuarine crocodile can killed and eat animals within his territory including monkeys, wild boar, birds, domestic livestock, humans, buffalo, gaurs, bats and even shark (Daniel, 1989; Das, 2002). The male crocodile can kill domestic cattle, horses, water buffalo and gaur, all of which may weigh over a ton.Juvenile crocodile may falls prey to tigers in certain part of their range, although encounters between these predators are rare and cats are likely to usually avoid areas with estuarine crocodile. In Sundarban tiger on land and estuarine crocodile in water is the top most predator and both are found throughout entire STR but there was no previous record of encounter between these species for prey or others. Inter specific fight in the forest is very common and there are records that tiger killed the young rhino (Bist, 1994) and elephant. Tigers are obligate carnivores and they prefer hunting large ungulates such as chital, sambar, gaur, barasingha, water buffalo, nilgai and serow. Among the medium sized prey species they frequently kill wild boar, hog deer and monkeys. Small prey species such as porcupines, hares, peafowl etc. killed by tiger as their small prey. The Royal Bengal Tigers have also been known to eat other predators like leopards, jackal, wolves, foxes, sloth bears, dholes etc. as their prey, although these predators are not typically as a part of tigers’ diet(Bagchi et al, 2003; Andheria et al, 2007; Biswas et al, 2002; Prachi et al, 2006, Prater, 1993).
How Knowledge Management Can Capture Untapped Alpha: A Case Study of Informed Rebalancing at the San Bernardino County Employees’ Retirement Association

Asset owners have to deal with the challenge of a potentially low-yielding investment environment for the foreseeable future and the likelihood of a market correction in the nearer term, with Q4 2018 providing a simple reminder of the downside risk of asset allocation. The traditional approach for many asset owners has been to use external managers to achieve their goals and hope that diversification will allow them to navigate difficult markets. A complementary strategy is to use knowledge management to improve returns and governance and capture a typically untapped alpha source in portfolios. Knowledge management in institutional asset management is defined as the explicit and systematic management of knowledge – and its associated processes of creation, organization, diffusion, use and exploitation – in pursuit of improving portfolio performance and managing risks. This paper highlights how the San Bernardino County Employees’ Retirement Association (SBCERA) used Knowledge Management and InvestTech to develop its own internal investment model to dynamically manage asset allocations and has added over $1billion (over 12 years) through its Informed Rebalancing program. In doing so, the portfolio and risks are better managed by the investment team and the program has survived many staff departures demonstrating that knowledge has been institutionalized. This approach is easily replicable by other asset owners, and each fund can develop its own bespoke approach based on their objectives and abilities.
The Global Dimension of the EU’s AFSJ: On Internal Transparency and External Practice

The ‘global’ forms an increasingly regular, active and explicit part of the daily business of the EU. The paper argues that there is a specific mismatch between the commitment to transparency on a daily level in international and external fields and practices of EU law and the actual substantive law-making practice evolving. While the EU’s vision of the global is to a degree the most transparent ever, the converse is not necessarily the case as to its legal content. The global dimension to EU law has increasingly expansive subjects and objectives, in areas of existing strength in global actorness (e.g. trade) and in more evolving competences (e.g. security). It argues that while the EU is a significant soft power in trade, it is arguably less so in the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (AFSJ) where its global reach becomes more challenging. The relative weakness of the EU’s global approach in the AFSJ is usually or acutely felt by individuals who face challenges in seeking redress increasingly as to aspects of transparency. The paper argues that there is a significant mismatch of internal transparency practices concerning the EU’s global law-making. Ultimately, mismatches between internal procedures and external law-making as to transparency operate adversely upon the global in a variety of ways, e.g. as to transparency and clarity, good administration and territoriality claims taken by individuals. It outlines the express approach to the global in EU policy in (i) migration (ii) passenger name records and the non-express approach to the ‘global’ in EU data protection and data transfers.
Managing asthma during pregnancy

Purpose: Pregnant women with asthma have many concerns about their respiratory health, as well as the health of their baby. A woman's respiratory system experiences many physiological changes during pregnancy and when a diagnosis of asthma is present, the clinical effect of pregnancy on asthma is variable. Regardless of disease years, when asthma patients become pregnant, both patients and healthcare providers want to know how pregnancy affects asthma and how asthma may affect pregnancy outcomes. This article will review how to optimally manage asthma during pregnancy using an evidence‐based approach that recognizes the patient's changing needs. Data sources: Literature collected from sources identified through searches of PubMed and CINAHL covering the periods from 1996 to 2012. Conclusion: With the implementation of evidence‐based management and treatment, pregnant patients who have asthma can be positioned to better control their symptoms and avoid unwanted complications that may affect the health of their baby. Implications for practice: Pregnant patients with asthma may be cared for in a variety of healthcare settings ranging from primary care to specialty care to the emergency department. Consequently, it is imperative that healthcare providers across the array of clinical venues be proficient on how to optimize the asthma outcomes of their pregnant patients.
Difference on Capital Allocation and Operating Performance—Evidence from China Listed Companies

The neoclassical theory of investment has been developed to explain, in a perfect market, the investment decision of a company depends on the net present value of a project, and its expenditure is determined only by the set of investment opportunities, and independent of other factors. However, in reality, other factors influence investment mostly. For the full sample of China listed companies, capital allocation is consistent with operating performance. Controlling property rights of the enterprises, we show that various kinds of investments in state-owned listed companies are inconsistent with operating performance, but non-state-owned listed companies reflect effective investment. In the long run, deepening classified reform of state-owned enterprises is extremely demanded.
Prostacyclin inhibits endothelial cell XIAP ubiquitination and degradation

To understand the role of prostacyclin (PGI2) in protecting endothelial cells from apoptosis, we evaluated the effects of carbaprostacyclin (cPGI2) on H2O2‐induced human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) apoptosis. cPGI2 suppressed H2O2‐induced annexin V‐positive cells in a concentration‐ and time‐dependent manner. Pre‐treatment of HUVEC with 50 µM cPGI2 for 4 h produced the maximal anti‐apoptotic effect. Authentic PGI2 generated by adenoviral transfer of PGI2 synthetic genes exerted a similar protective effect. cPGI2 inhibited Smac/DIABLO release from mitochondria, caspase 3 activation, focal adhesion protein degradation, and cell detachment. cPGI2 selectively protected X‐linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (X‐linked IAP, XIAP) from H2O2‐induced ubiquitination, and preserved XIAP protein levels. PD‐98059 but not H‐89 abrogated the protective action of cPGI2. cPGI2 increased ERK phosphorylation which was blocked by PD‐98059. HUVEC stably transfected with dominant negative Ras abrogated XIAP preservation by cPGI2 while constitutive active Ras increased ERK phosphorylation and protected XIAP from degradation. Our results demonstrate for the first time that PGI2 inhibits XIAP ubiquitination and degradation via the Ras/MEK‐1/ERK signaling pathway. Preservation of XIAP proteins represents a key mechanism by which PGI2 protects endothelial cells from oxidant‐induced apoptosis. J. Cell. Physiol. 212:840–848, 2007. © 2007 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Direct and indirect band gap types in one-dimensional conjugated or stacked organic materials

Abstract. Whether a semiconductor has a direct or an indirect band gap is important in determining physical properties such as photoconductivity and electroluminescence. For one-dimensional conjugated polymeric semiconductors, as well as organic molecular crystals, we show how the band gap type (direct or indirect) is determined by the shapes of the HOMO and the LUMO of constituent monomeric conjugated molecules. The connectivity of the monomer units, and the topology of orbital interaction determine the band gap type. Pairing symmetry in the π electronic system of even alternant hydrocarbons allows the immediate prediction of the band gap type, direct or indirect, by examining only the structures of the monomer units and their connectivity in polymers or molecular stacks.
Synthesis and Evaluation of Potent KCNQ 2 / 3-Specific Channel Activators s

KQT-like subfamily (KCNQ) channels are voltage-gated, noninactivating potassium ion channels, and their down-regulation has been implicated in several hyperexcitability-related disorders, including epilepsy, neuropathic pain, and tinnitus. Activators of these channels reduce the excitability of central and peripheral neurons, and, as such, have therapeutic utility. Here, we synthetically modified several moieties of the KCNQ2–5 channel activator retigabine, an anticonvulsant approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. By introducing a CF3–group at the 4-position of the benzylamine moiety, combined with a fluorine atom at the 3-position of the aniline ring, we generated Ethyl (2-amino-3-fluoro-4-((4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl)amino)phenyl)carbamate (RL648_81), a new KCNQ2/3-specific activator that is . 15 times more potent and also more selective than retigabine. We suggest that RL648_81 is a promising clinical candidate for treating or preventing neurologic disorders associated with neuronal hyperexcitability.
