INVESTIGATING THE EFFECT OF TAPER LENGTH ON SENSITIVITY OF THE TAPERED-FIBER BASED TEMPERATURE SENSOR

A temperature sensor using single-mode tapered fiber is presented. To better understand the behaviour of a tapered optical fiber, transmission experiments with different taper profiles, specifically waist length were performed. The effects of taper profiles on the sensitivity of the sensor were also investigated. It is demonstrated that careful selection of the taper profile can increase the sensitivity of the sensor. In our experiment, a good temperature sensing result was achieved using the optimum parameter. The best sensitivity achieved was 45.5 pm/°C that measured the range of temperature from 30°C to 120°C. The fabricated sensors are easy to fabricate and relatively low cost. Our results indicate that the tapered fiber based temperature sensor has high sensitivity and good repeatability.
EVALUATION OF THE HYDROCARBON POTENTIAL, MINERAL MATRIX EFFECT AND GAS-OIL RATIO POTENTIAL OF OIL SHALE FROM THE KABALAR FORMATION, GÖYNÜK, TURKEY

The present study focuses on the evaluation of the hydrocarbon potential, retention effect of mineral matrix and the gas-oil ratio potential (GORP) of oil shale from the Kabalar Formation in the Goynuk area, Turkey, to assess the quality of its organic matter. The results of Rock-Eval pyrolysis generally suggest relatively high organic carbon content (TOC) for Kabalar oil shale, ranging from 1 to 13.23 wt%. These values are consistent with data on source rocks that may have a good to excellent source rock potential. The kerogen in Kabalar oil shale was characterized based on Hydrogen Index (HI) value, S2/S3 ratio, and organic petrographic studies. The results indicate that most of the studied samples are characterized as containing oil prone (type I and II kerogen) organic matter. The low spore color index (SCI) and high S2/S3 ratio with a commonly low Tmax (< 440 °C) demonstrate that most of the oil shale samples are in the immature to early mature stages of thermal maturity. After calculating the transformation ratio (TR), the oil shale samples were divided into mature (TR = 0.2) and immature (TR = 0) subdivisions in order to take the maturity effects on organic carbon content (TOC) and hydrocarbons retention into account and also select the appropriate GORP overlay. After correcting the mineral matrix effect in the immature subdivision, the mean HI value of the Kabalar Formation increased by about 268 and reached 855 mg HC/g TOC. Due to the relatively higher thermal maturity values, the mineral matrix effect is minimized in the mature subdivision. Based on GORP factor, the TOC(live) of Kabalar oil shale is composed only of oil prone material, which is in good agreement with the results inferred from organic petrographic and pyrolysis studies.
Continuation of the static contact problem with Coulomb friction

Let Ω ⊂ R2 be a linearly elastic body supported by a rigid foundation along the contact boundary ΓC . On ΓN and ΓD, Neumann and Dirichlet boundary conditions are prescribed. We consider the static contact problems with Coulomb friction, see e.g. [1]. In particular, we will investigate a discrete version of this problem, see e.g. [2, 3]. This may be understood as a FEM-approximation of the continuous mechanical problem. Let integers n and p define the degrees of freedom of the body Ω and the number of contact nodes on ΓC , n ≥ 2p. Let f ∈ R n and F be the given distributed volume force and the friction coefficient. We seek for

The Efficacy of Knowledge Sharing: Centralized Vs. Self-Organizing Online Communities

This study investigates the impact of an online community’s control structure on the knowledge sharing process in that community. Using a framework comprised of legitimate peripheral participation theory and the weak-ties phenomenon, the study focuses on a comparative analysis of self-organizing online communities (e.g., weblog networks) and centralized online communities (e.g., discussion forums communities) with respect to the efficacy of knowledge sharing in these communities. The findings of this study indicate that self-organizing communities of practice have more weak-ties among their members compared to centralized communities. As per weak-ties theory of Granovetter (1973, 1983), these findings suggest that self-organizing communities facilitate greater dissemination of knowledge and flow of information among their members than centralized communities. The abundance of weak-ties in their community structure also makes self-organizing communities better environments for the discovery of new information compared to centralized community environments. This study did not find any evidence of community structure impact on peripheral participation and the interaction activity level among peripheral participants of a given online community. These observations may have stemmed from the limitations of research design, however, it is safe to say as of now that verdict on peripheral participation differences in different community structures is inconclusive at best.
Factors influencing colostrum yield by sows

An adequate colostrum intake, in order to ensure the survival and weight gain of piglets, depends on the sow’s ability to produce enough colostrum for the whole litter. The aim of this study was to evaluate factors involved in colostrum yield (CY) variability related to the sow, the litter and the farrowing process. The experiment was conducted with 96 Camborough 25® sows of parities one to seven, whose farrowing was spontaneous. Colostrum production of each sow was estimated by summing up the colostrum intake of each piglet in the litter, estimated by an equation that takes into account the birth weight and weight gain during the first 24h of life. The multiple regression model explained 28% of variation in CY, with 24% and 4% respectively of variation being explained by the litter birth weight and the width of the first mammary glands. Litter birth weight was positively correlated with the number of total born (r= 0.73) and born alive piglets (r= 0.83). When categorised into two groups of colostrum yield (LOWCY; ≤3.4kg; n= 46 vs HIGHCY; >3.4kg; n= 50), LOWCY sows had fewer total born and born alive piglets and lighter litters (P<0.05). The logistic regression analysis showed that sows from parities 1, 2 and >3 had greater odds (P≤0.05) of belonging to the LOWCY group than parity 3 sows. Sows with two or more obstetrical interventions had higher odds (P<0.05) of belonging to the LOWCY group than sows without interventions during farrowing. The higher colostrum yield observed in sows of parity 3 and sows with less than two obstetrical interventions during farrowing was associated with a greater number of nursed piglets. This study showed that total birth weight of born alive piglets is the most important factor involved in colostrum yield variability, indirectly representing the number of piglets nursed by the sow.
Leaders' Personality and Its Impact on the Subordinates' Expectations of Leadership

Leaders' impact on subordinates is an area that is usually studied by concentrating on organizational outcomes. When trying to enhance leadership skills and leader-subordinate interaction it is crucial to understand the impact of leaders. The personality of leaders has been widely studied, but the impact of leaders' personality on subordinates is still an area that merits further research. The purpose of this study is to concentrate on the MBTI-type of leaders and its impact on subordinates' expectations of their leaders. Subordinates' ratings indicated for example "Encouraging" was expected more by subordinates of introverted and judging leaders than by subordinates of extraverted and perceiving leaders. According to Deluga (1995), of particular im- portance to the practising manager is the rela- tionship between leadership style and employee influencing behaviour. It has been noted, for example by Avolio and Howell (1992) that the personality of both leader and subordinate, as well as the level of congruence between a leader's and subordinate's personality, may moderate the satisfaction of the subordinate with the leader, as well as the performance of the leader's work unit. The leader-subordinate relationship has been studied by many researchers (e.g., Avolio & Howell, 1992; Phillips & Bedeian, 1994), and there are studies in the literature about a leader's effect on subordinates' behaviour (Elangovan & Xie, 1999; Podsakoff, MacKenzie

Samples were 135 Thai graduate students who were enrolled in extraordinary programs in education and public administration held during the 1 semester of 2012 in autonomous university in the north of Thailand. The participants were selected randomly by using proportional cluster random sampling. The research tool based on TPB was developed and consisted of eighty-three items (α = .91). The Person Product Moment Correlation and multiple regression with enter method were employed to analyze the data. Results were found thatall predictor variablescan significantly predict intention to writing thesis without plagiarism (R = 0.366, F = 25.243, p < .01) especially perceived behavioral control (b = .291). There was a significant positive correlation between each variable that measured in different way -direct and indirectsuch as attitudes toward behavior (r = .37, p < .01), subjective norms (r = .52, p < .01) and perceived behavioral control (r = .28, p < .01). All three predictive variables were significantly positive correlated with intentions to writing thesis without plagiarism -attitude toward behavior (r = .30, p < .01), subjective norms (r = .42, p < .01) and perceived behavioral control (r = .49, p < .01). In conclusion, the perceived behavioral control was the highest coefficient value in the model. It indicated that the feeling of controllability or self-efficiency affected students’ plagiarizing in writing thesis. Although there were statistically positive correlations between direct and indirect method, its value of correlation coefficients were not high. Thus it is necessary to use both.
Encrypted Searching with Adaptive Symmetric Searchable Encryption Security in Cloud Storage

The insecurity of cloud storage is notorious, it is difficult to both maintain privacy of client’s data while still providing the ability to retrieval useful information. In the area of searchable encryption, many previous works presented their constructions based on non-adaptive security definition raised by R.Curtmola. In this paper, we propose an efficient scheme that is secure against more sophisticated server based on adaptive security definition. Furthermore, we combine some components of currently open-source search engine with our scheme to complete a prototype and provide results from experiments on a large-scale dataset to prove the availability and efficiency of our scheme.
A Survey on Cryptographic Authentication Scheme by enhanced Halftone Images

Visual cryptography is a secret sharing scheme in which secret image is distributed in n number of shares such that, when this n shares are superimposed together, a hidden secret image is get. In extended visual cryptography, we use the cover image for share images, which will give integrating visual cryptography. In this paper, we propose a method for improving the quality of processing halftone images of the share images and the recovered secret image. In an extended visual cryptography scheme the size of the share images and the recovered image is the same as the original halftone secret image. The resulting scheme of extended visual cryptography maintains the quality of original secret image and its security.
¥ uxas amechanismfordrug resistance in Mycobacteriumtuberculosis

Tuberculosis remains an important global public health problem, with an estimated prevalence of 14 million individuals with tuberculosis worldwide in 2007. Because antibiotic treatment is one of the main tools for tuberculosis control, knowledge of Mycobacterium tuberculosis drug resistance is an important component for the disease control strategy. Although several gene mutations in specific loci of the M. tuberculosis genome have been reported as the basis for drug resistance, additional resistance mechanisms are now believed to exist. Efflux is a ubiquitous mechanism responsible for intrinsic and acquired drug resistance in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Mycobacterium tuberculosis presents one of the largest numbers of putative drug efflux pumps compared with its genome size. Bioinformatics as well as direct and indirect evidence have established relationships among drug efflux with intrinsic or acquired resistance in M. tuberculosis. This minireview describes the current knowledge on drug efflux in M. tuberculosis.
Letter. Determination of planetary basalt parentage: A simple technique using the electron microprobe

Abstract Many basaltic meteorites are being discovered in old and new meteorite suites including those from cold- deserts (e.g., Antarctica) and hot-desert environments. It is important to establish the specific planetary body source. Proven techniques for establishing planetary parentage include stableisotopic signatures (especially oxygen), certain elemental ratios in bulk samples, and certain elemental ratios in specific minerals. Some of these techniques are expensive, require considerable sample preparation, and are adversely affected by weathering processes on the parent body or on Earth. We have been seeking key major and minor elemental ratios (in pyroxene, olivine, and feldspar) that can be measured by the electron microprobe on standard thin sections. These ratios may be preserved in unweathered portions of mineral grains and thus “see through” weathering processes. In addition, if the sample is too small to provide a representative bulk composition, it may still have key information recorded in individual minerals. We have found that some of the most useful chemical parameters are Fe/Mn (atomic) in olivine or pyroxene and the percent anorthite (%An) in plagioclase solid solutions. A plot of Fe/Mn in pyroxene and/or olivine verses %An defines compositional fields that are significantly different for Earth, Mars, Moon, 4 Vesta, and the angrite parent body. This method may be especially powerful when combined with oxygen isotope data.
MEMORY-DRIVEN ALGORITHM MAPPING OF MOLECULAR DYNAMICS FOR HIGH-PERFORMANCE RECONFIGURABLE COMPUTERS

Efficiently mapping software algorithms to the hardware paradigm continues to be a nontrivial process even though numerous highlevel languages and tools have been proposed to aid the development of an application for a reconfigurable computing (RC) platform. Optimizing these mappings to capitalize on the particular resources of different RC system architectures can require even further revisions to the application. Often, the resulting algorithm structure will be dependent on the underlying memory hierarchy since the optimal data locality will determine where, when, and how data computations are performed. In this paper, a Molecular Dynamics (MD) application is constructed for two different highperformance FPGA platforms to examine the impact of the memory and computation mapping optimizations on the overall hardware speedup versus the original software baseline.

Designing evacuation for deep underground stations including escalators

This paper addresses challenges as adopting existing regulations and standards to fire safety designs in underground station. The key questions in this paper are; when designing evacuation for underground stations including escalators, are considering conventional walking speed or capacity in escalators good enough? Is there a need to consider other issues to ensure an acceptable safety level in the fire safety strategy? There is no clear-cut ready-to-use regulation to be implemented when designing fire safety in deep underground stations today, particularly concerning ascending egress using escalators. The focus of this paper is the usage of escalators as part of the egress strategy for deep underground stations in case of fire or other emergencies. Conclusion drawn from the evaluation in this paper is to update regulations concerning technical aspects with regards to escalators. Pedestrian flow in stopped escalators should vary as a function of the total vertical height rather than being dependant on each individual escalator height. KEYWORD: deep underground stations, pedestrian flow, fire safety, egress, evacuation, escalators, upward movement, fatigue, fire safety strategy, ascending evacuation, code compliant
Hypothetical Bargaining and the Equilibrium Selection Problem in Non-Cooperative Games

Orthodox game theory is often criticized for its inability to single out intuitively compelling Nash equilibria in non-cooperative games. The theory of virtual bargaining, developed by Misyak and Chater (2014) suggests that players resolve non-cooperative games by making their strategy choices on the basis of what they would agree to play if they could openly bargain. The proposed formal model of bargaining, however, has limited applicability in non-cooperative games due to its reliance on the existence of a unique non-agreement point – a condition that is not satisfied by games with multiple Nash equilibria. In this paper, I propose a model of ordinal hypothetical bargaining, called the Benefit-Equilibration Reasoning, which does not rely on the existence of a unique reference point, and offers a solution to the equilibrium selection problem in a broad class of non-cooperative games. I provide a formal characterization of the solution, and discuss the theoretical predictions of the suggested model in several experimentally relevant games.
The 12CO2 and 13CO2 Absorption Bands as Tracers of the Thermal History of Interstellar Icy Grain Mantles

Analyses of infrared signatures of CO2 in water-dominated ices in the ISM can give information on the physical state of CO2 in icy grains and on the thermal history of the ices themselves. In many sources, CO2 was found in the “pure” crystalline form, as signatured by the splitting in the bending mode absorption profile. To a large extent, pure CO2 is likely to have formed from segregation of CO2 from a CO2:H2O mixture during thermal processing. Previous laboratory studies quantified the temperature dependence of segregation, but no systematic measurement of the concentration dependence of segregation is available. In this study, we measured both the temperature dependence and concentration dependence of CO2 segregation in CO2:H2O mixtures, and found that no pure crystalline CO2 forms if the CO2:H2O ratio is less than 23%. Therefore, the segregation of CO2 is not always a good thermal tracer of the ice mantle. We found that the position and width of the broad component of the asymmetric stretching vibrational mode of 13CO2 change linearly with the temperature of CO2:H2O mixtures, but are insensitive to the concentration of CO2. We recommend using this mode, which will be observable toward low-mass protostellar envelopes and dense clouds with the James Webb Space Telescope, to trace the thermal history of the ice mantle, especially when segregated CO2 is unavailable. We used the laboratory measured 13CO2 profile to analyze the ISO-SWS observations of ice mantles toward Young Stellar Objects, and the astrophysical implications are discussed.
A Study on Daytime Sleepiness, Factors affecting Sleep and Effectiveness of Sleep Education Program on Sleep Quality among College Students

: Poor sleep quality and daytime sleepiness are the most prevalent sleep problems globally among college students which contributes to the poor health of an individual as well as it affects academic performance of students. College students can easily adopt lifestyle changes which occur at a high rate and affects the sleep pattern and sleep behavior which contributes to the poor health of an individual. Methodology: In this study quantitative research approach was used as research approach in the study. The study was conducted at two different degree colleges of Dehradun. A total of 170 participants were assessed for daytime sleepiness, factors affecting sleep and sleep problem in the first phase. Seventy seven (77) participants had sleep problem as per PSQI and they have been included in the second phase. In experimental group, intervention was given in the form of teaching once followed by relaxation continuously for two weeks. Then sleep quality was assessed on 14 th day and 28 th day of intervention. Participants in control group were also assessed for Sleep quality and also follow up was done. Results: Study result revealed that majority of participants (66.6%) had daytime sleepiness which affects mainly from psychological and lifestyle factors statistically. The mean sleep quality score in experimental group were 6.20, 2.54 and 5.26 at baseline, 14 th day and 28 th day of intervention respectively whereas, 6.86, 4.64 and 4.73 at baseline, 14 th day and 28 th day of intervention respectively in control group. Conclusion: It was concluded that there was improvement in sleep quality soon after intervention as they practiced relaxation continuously.
