AUTONOMOUS RE-CONFIGURATION SYSTEM WITH ROUTE STABILITY IN WIRELESS NETWORKS

In multihop wireless networks experience frequent link failure caused by channel interference, dynamic obstacles, and bandwidth demands. Because of this degradation the wireless networks require expensive manual network management recovery. This paper presents an autonomous network reconfiguration system (ARS) using AOMDV protocol and acknowledgement reception . The ARS enables the multi radio, wireless networks to autonomously recover from local link failure to preserve the network performance. The ARS provides necessity channel assignment changes with the help of the AOMDV protocol to improve performance . AOMDV uses the channel average non fading duration as a routing metric to select the stable link for path discovery and applies a preemptive hands-off strategy to maintain a reliable connection by exploiting channel state information.After the data transmission concern receiver provides the acknowledgement notification to the transmitter node via an alternate path.The evaluation results show the network path becomes stable and no data loss can be occurred. The overall system performance efficiency by more than 90%.
Two‐phase coexistence in Fe–Ni alloys synthesized by ball milling

We used mechanical alloying with a Spex 8000 mixer/mill to synthesize a series of Fe100−xNix alloys from x=0 to x=49. The Spex mill was modified so that it could also operate at a reduced milling intensity, and we compared the alloys synthesized after long times with the normal and reduced milling intensities. X‐ray diffractometry and Mossbauer spectrometry were used to measure the volume fractions of the bcc and fcc phases in the alloys, and to determine the chemical compositions of the individual phases. We found that the composition ranges of the bcc and fcc single phase regions were extended well beyond their equilibrium ranges. At the higher milling intensity, we found that the bcc phase was destabilized with respect to the fcc phase, and the two‐phase region shifted to lower Ni concentrations. For those alloys with coexisting bcc and fcc phases, we present evidence that the chemical compositions of the two phases are nearly the same. We explain the destabilization of the bcc with milling intensity a.
"And the Winner is..." Predicting Presidential Elections

This paper establishes a model to forecast the Presidential election outcomes, particularly the 2016 United States Presidential Election by analyzing two distinctive approaches: predicting election wins through voting function, and using approval ratings as proxy for votes. I examine and replicate previous models for vote share of the Democratic Party and of the government for elections from 1948 to 2012. Then, I construct a model for approval ratings based on economic and non-economic variables. My findings have direct implications for forecasting elections and the political business cycle.
Realidad Aumentada como herramienta docente en la asignatura de Construcción en las enseñanzas de Ingeniería

3D visualization is one of the main challenges faced by Engineering students. This is an extra difficulty in the subject Construction and Topography in Engineering degrees. In most of the Engineering degrees this is a first-year subject, thus fresh students come up again new contents and elements never studied by them, this coupled with the fact that is impossible to bring the different constructive elements to the classroom, make the global comprehension even more difficult. To face this, a new method using Augmented Reality (AR) has been developed at the Polytechnic School of Seville. The rapid evolution of technology coupled with the growing popularity and easy access to smartphones, make possible the development of new opportunities in education in order to improve its quality. AR is a complementary tool that makes lessons more realistic and complete. This study shows how students achieve a better understanding of the different construction elements and the connections between them.
LEVANTAMENTO DAS PROPRIEDADES MORFOMÉTRICAS DA BACIA HIDROGRÁFICA DO RIBEIRÃO VERMELHO COM O USO DE GEOPROCESSAMENTO

As caracteristicas de forma e relevo de uma bacia hidrografica sao preponderantes na distribuicao espacial da agua na superficie, afetando diretamente os processos de infiltracao e escoamento da mesma. A proposta deste trabalho foi levantar as caracteristicas morfometricas da bacia hidrografica do Ribeirao Vermelho (BHRV), a fim de identificar o padrao de drenagem e suas relacoes com o relevo e como estes influenciam o regime hidrico da referida bacia, empregando tecnicas de geoprocessamento. Foram utilizadas cartas topograficas da area de estudo para a confeccao de mapas de declividade e hipsometrico alem de calcular os indices: fator de forma, compacidade, circularidade, densidade de drenagem, densidade de rios, extensao do escoamento superficial e declividade media do Ribeirao Vermelho. Os resultados do levantamento das propriedades morfometricas indicam uma baixa suscetibilidade da bacia a picos de enchentes, favorecendo o processo de infiltracao da agua em detrimento do processo de escoamento superficial.

Personal traits of CEOs, inter-firm networking and entrepreneurship in their firms : investigating strategic SME network participants

This research tests a model including direct and indirect effects of CEO's personal traits (i.e., tolerance for ambiguity and self-efficacy) on entrepreneurial behavior for firms in a specific context, namely strategic SME networks. Findings indicate no direct relationship between personal traits and entrepreneurial behavior on the firm level but reports positive relationship between CEO's traits and levels of inter-firm networking with other strategic SME network participants. Inter-firm networking, in turn, is positively related to entrepreneurial behavior on the firm level. Our results thus indicate that personal traits of the CEO can be important to study in order to understand small firm behavior and performance. The absence of direct links may hide interesting indirect and mediating influences. Based on this, we argue that it is important for future research in the entrepreneurship domain to consider inclusion of context-specific action-based factors that may link CEO traits to entrepreneurship.
Why Build a Cmp?

The Hydra chip multiprocessor (CMP) integrates four MIPS-based processors and their primary caches on a single chip together with a shared secondary cache. A standard CMP offers implementation and performance advantages compared to wide-issue superscalar designs. However, it must be programmed with a more complicated parallel programming model to obtain maximum performance. To simplify parallel programming, the Hydra CMP supports thread-level speculation and memory renaming, a paradigm that allows performance similar to a uniprocessor of comparable die area on integer programs. This article motivates the design of a CMP, describes the architecture of the Hydra design with a focus on its speculative thread support, and describes our prototype implementation. As Moore's law allows increasing numbers of smaller and faster transistors to be integrated on a single chip, new processors are being designed to use these transistors effectively to improve performance. Today, most microprocessor designers use the increased transistor budgets to build larger and more complex uniprocessors. However, several problems are beginning to make this approach to microprocessor design difficult to continue. To address these problems, we have proposed that future processor design methodology shift from simply making progressively larger uniprocessors to implementing more than one processor on each chip. 1 The following discusses the key reasons why single-chip microprocessors are a good idea. Parallelism Designers primarly use additional transistors on chips to extract more parallelism from programs to perform more work per clock cycle. While some transistors are used to build wider or more specialized data path logic (to switch from 32 to 64 bits or add special mul-timedia instructions, for example), most are used to build superscalar processors. These processors can extract greater amounts of instruction-level parallelism, or ILP, by finding nondependent instructions that occur near each other in the original program code. Unfortunately, there is only a finite amount of ILP present in any particular sequence of instructions that the processor executes because instructions from the same sequence are typically highly interdependent. As a result, processors that use this technique are seeing diminishing returns as they attempt to execute more instructions per clock cycle, even as the logic required to process multiple instructions per clock cycle increases qua-dratically. A CMP avoids this limitation by primarily using a completely different type of parallelism: thread-level parallelism. We obtain TLP by running completely separate sequences of instructions on each of the separate processors simultaneously. Of course, a CMP may also exploit …
On performance trade-offs in cognitive networks

In this section we present the scenario under investigation, along with numerical results, We assume a wireless cognitive mesh network where the source and the sink are located in opposite locations inside the cognitive area, An arbitrary number of intermediate secondary nodes, whose selection is based on the multihop selection algorithm presented above with ε = 0.8, act as relays assisting transmission, The primary system is a relay network with at most one relay at its disposal, This choice serves the visualization of the results in terms of primary system SINR, since in more sophisticated network architectures it is difficult to define a global SINR measure, against which to express capacity, Fig, 2 and Fig, 3 illustrate the effect of these parameters on system performance.
On a Class of Stochastic Differential Equations With Jumps and Its Properties

We study stochastic differential equations with jumps with no diffusion part. We provide some basic stochastic characterizations of solutions of the corresponding non-local partial differential equations and prove the Harnack inequality for a class of these operators. We also establish key connections between the recurrence properties of these jump processes and the non-local partial differential operator. One of the key results is the regularity of solutions of the Dirichlet problem for a class of operators with locally weakly H\"older continuous kernels.
Äänellä on asiaa : Hannu Karpon tv-reportaasit ja kutsu kertomukseen

Maria Mäkelä, FT, yliopistonlehtori, Tampereen yliopisto 1 Tätä ennen, vuosina 1963–1983, Karpo teki suuret määrät doku­ menttiohjelmia YLE:lle. Näistä ohjelmista osa on säilynyt kulttimaineessa – kuten lestadiolaisista kertova, 3.10. 1981 esitetty ”Syntisin silmin” – mutta suurin osa on painunut unholaan hävitettyjen arkistojen mukana. ”Syntisin silmin” löytyy toistai­ seksi YLE:n Elävästä arkistosta: http://yle.fi/ elavaarkisto/artikkelit/ syntisin_silmin_12859. html#media=12881 (link­ ki tarkistettu 17.12.2013). Tv-journalisti Hannu Karpo teki MTV3:lle vuosien 1983–2011 aikana liki 900 ohjelmaa ja nousi samaan aikaan merkittäväksi sosiaalipoliittiseksi vaikuttajaksi ja kansalliseksi camp-ikoniksi.1 Narratologia Karpon kerronnassa kiinnostavat kertojaäänen, haastattelijan ja haastateltavan suhteista rakentuva kerronnallinen hierarkia, erilaisten äänten tuottama diskursiivinen toimijuus ja kokemuksen kerronnallistamisen strategiat. Taiteentutkimuksellisesta näkökulmasta katsottuna Karpon tv-reportaasit asettuvat luontevasti kaunokirjallisuuden, erityisesti suomalaisen naturalistisen romaanin kerronnalliseksi sukulaiseksi. Kirjalliset analogiat ja toisaalta haastattelutukimuksen piirissä esitetyt kysymykset kokemuksellisten äänten alkuperästä auttavat ymmärtämään Karpon omintakeista tapaa kutsua haastateltavansa mukaan skemaattiseen Karpokertomukseen. Otan myös analyyttiseen käyttöön Louis Althusserin klassisen yhteiskuntafilosofisen teorian ideologisesta puhuttelusta ja Mihail Bahtinin käsitykset äänestä diskursiivisen kamppailun alueena. Väitän, että Karpon dokumentaarisen tyylin ikonisuus muodostuu kokemuksellisen, edustuksellisen ja autoritäärisen äänen muodostelmista, joita sopii tutkia yhtä hyvin taiteena kuin viestintänä.
Points on Lines in F Spur Final Paper, Summer 2013

In this paper we study an incidence problem in finite geometry. Suppose we are given a set X which is the union of some number of lines in Fq . We choose a subset Y of X, such that for each line ` in X, at least half of its points are in Y . We show that |Y | is always at least some fraction of |X|. Using the polynomial method and degree reduction, it was previously known that such a statement holds for large and small |Y | (when |Y | ≥ q2 log q or |Y | ≤ q2/ log q). We close the gap by proving the statement for the remaining cases. We first note that such a statement holds for a set of points such that each point lies on at most two lines. We then show that there cannot be too many points with three or more lines lying on the zero set of a nonlinear polynomial, and use this to prove the statement in the remaining cases.

Verkehrsknotenpunkte als Innovationsstandorte? Die Nähe zu Flughäfen als Standortfaktor wissenschaftlicher und künstlerischer Innovation

1 PROBLEMSTELLUNG In jeder arbeitsteiligen Gesellschaft ist die räumliche Entwicklung eng mit der Entwicklung der Verkehrssysteme verknüpft. Schon in den antiken Kulturen bildeten Verkehrsknotenpunkte bevorzugte Standorte für Interaktion, Kommunikation und Handel und waren daher häufig Ausgangspunkt für die Entwicklung von menschlichen Ansiedlungen. Während der Phase der Industrialisierung im 19. Jahrhundert und in den fordistischen Wirtschaften des 20.Jahrhunderts war die Nähe zu hochrangigen Verkehrsachsen und -knoten eine wesentliche Voraussetzung für die Entstehung von Produktionsstandorten und damit für die Entwicklung von Wirtschaftszentren (vgl. Fassmann 2004, S. 80ff.).
Jordi Planas the Complexities of Assessing Esf Performance: Some Specific Examples Joaquim Casal

The principal objective of the evaluation activity set in train with the reform of the Structural Funds was quite clearly to improve the effectiveness of Community structural operations. It was therefore considered of fundamental importance, among other measures, to strengthen and extend the traditional evaluation practice of the Member States, which consequently should be made an element of partnership so as to be able to count on the necessary cooperation.
AN INTEGRATED BULLWHIP EFFECT MEASUREMENT SYSTEM FOR FUZZY MULTI-ECHELON SUPPLY CHAINS

In this paper, an integrated system is developed that is directed towards the calculation of bullwhip effect for multi-echelon supply chains under demand and lead time uncertainty. Hence, demand and lead times are calculated via neuro-fuzzy computations at a fuzzy supply chain system, and then the system is simulated via artificial neural networks to measure and evaluate bullwhip effect for various demand and lead time values. Thus, the behaviour of bulwhip effect against demand and lead time variability.

THE ACTION OF EXERCISE ON KETOSIS

In recent years evidence has been accumulating th . at the ketone bodies are, on occasion, an important step in the catabolism of fat (L2). There is much support for the view that the liver at certain times partially oxidizes fatty acids to form these ketone bodies which are then supplied to the other tissues of the body as an important fuel (3, 4). A large fraction of the energy turnover of the muscles may under certain conditions be supplied by oxidation of these substances (1, 5). It would seem likely then that individuals in a state of ketosis would show a decrease in its intensity (which has ordinarily been measured by urinary ketone excretion) as a result of exercise. This has not been found to be entirely the case for periods of exercise lasting an hour or more (6, 7). These seemingly contradictory findings may be reconciled if we can accept the assumption already stated in papers from these laboratories (1) that muscular activity not only causes increased burning of these bodies but also increased production of them by the liver. If these two effects are produced at the same time they would tend to balance each other and it would be very difficult to investigate them separately. If they are not simultaneous,-one being delayed-, it should be possible to follow the successive opposite effects. The increased utiliaa-tion of ketone bodies by working muscles is immediate as is evident from the observations of Blixenkrone-Moller (5) on perfused isolated extremities and of Drury and Wick (8) on the intact subject. If there is an increased output by the liver and it has a delay of over half an hour it should be possible to follow it since it should give a post-exercise increase in the blood ketone curve. With the human subject we experienced difficulty in producing a %teady " ketosis state on which we could study this delayed effect of exercise. One can easily produce a definite ketonemia by a fast of 20 hours, but at this time the level is not constant, but has a distinct, though not necessarily steady upward gradient. Over a three day period this averages 0.82 mgm. per cent per hour (9). Our subject showed a gradient of 2.2 mgm. per cent per hour between the 10th and 20th hours. Under these conditions it is easy to study mechanisms which lower the 761
Reproductive performance of Holstein-Friesian dairy cows subjected to different treatments for cystic ovarian follicles.

Cystic ovarian follicles “COF” is a common ovarian disorder diagnosed in dairy cattle that cause significant economic losses in dairy industry. This study was designed to evaluate efficacy of different therapeutic protocols of COF without determining cyst type. The study was conducted on 104 Holstein-Friesian cystic cows that were divided randomly to the following treatments: Experiment Ι: 1) Group G, n=27, subdivided into A) n=13: treated with 20μg Buserelin-GnRH agonist and B) n=14: treated with 100μg Gonadorelin-GnRH agonist; 2) Group GP, n=23: received 20μg Buserelin on day 0- 500μg of PGF2α on day 10; 3) Group GGP, n=27: received 2 doses of 20μg Buserelin 7 ds apart followed by 500μg PGF2α 7ds from the 2 nd Buserelin injection; 4) Group GPG (Ovsynch), n=17: received 20μg Buserelin on day 0- 500μg PGF2α on day 7, and 48hrs later, 20μg Buserelin was injected; 5) Group C, n=10: no treatment received. 22 normal cycling cows were kept as a normal control-NC. Experiment ΙΙ: This part of the study was conducted on 34 cystic animals that did not respond to one of the previous treatments in experiment Ι and were divided into 2 groups: 1) Group CGP, n=19: CIDR+100μg Gonadorelin- (d 0), then 500μg of PGF2α on day 7, insert was removed on day 9; 2) Group PI, n=15: treated by oral administration of 5gm Potassium iodide dissolved in 500 ml sterile water for 7 successive days. Treated Cows were observed for 35 days from the end of treatment, females exhibited estrus were inseminated within 12 hours of detected heat. Pregnancy was confirmed by per rectum on day 50 post-insemination. Results showed that GP protocol achieved highest (P<0.05) estrus induction rate (EIR) recorded at 87%, followed by 70% for G and GGP group, and lowest (53%) obtained in GPG treated cows. Conception rate at 1 st estrus and total conception rate (3 cycles after treatment) did not differ significantly among treatment groups, while pregnancy rates (PR) were significantly different (P<0.05) with highest (65.21%) obtained in GP protocol. Other groups recorded 63%, 55.55%, and 41.17% PR for G, GGP, and GPG respectively. In experiment ΙΙ, EIR was 47.36% and 33.33% for CGP and PI respectively with no significant difference, all conceived after 3 estrous cycles by the end of the experiment. In conclusion, GnRH+ PGF2α 10ds later was the most suitable treatment of COF regardless of cyst type, GGP protocol might be a profitable alternative to Ovsynch for treatment of cystic ovaries. Persistent cases of COF could be recruited to avoid culling for other treatment options such as CIDR or Potassium iodide with equal therapeutic efficacy.
Mutual Fund Investment Style Empirical Analysis of China: Based on SOFM Algorithm

In this paper we apply self-organizing feature map (SOFM) to classify the mutual fund investment styles in empirical analysis of China. SOFM simulates human brains' clustering, self-organization, self-education functions in information management process. Compared to other traditional statistical cluster methods, it has unmatched advance in processing large samples, complicated index system; and it also the overcomes deficiency of lacking time series data as most mutual funds in China has not set up long enough. From the empirical results, we get three conclusions: first, most of the mutual funds in China did not adhere to their claimed styles in prospectus language. Second, the accurate classifications based on SOFM give investors and stock supervision organizations credible information to identify equity investment styles effectively. Finally, the empirical classification performances summary can guide the money managers achieve better performances in the future
X-farm: modelling sustainable farming systems and simulation.

The aim of this paper is to illustrate the structure of X-farm, a model to manage farming systems under energetic, economical, ecological perspective, using the dynamic simulation approach. The farm is targeted to achieve the energetic self-sufficiency, by using a quota of the total biomass produced in farm for the production of energy as oil, biogas or heat. The structure of X-farm is composed by some integrated modules representing the main centres of farming costs and production: soil management, crop production and processing, energy production and administration. The dynamic simulation is addressed to find the best combination of crop and livestock activities in the farm plan, using a multipurpose strategic approach. The objective of energy production is afforded by using crops and reducing the energy use by optimizing energy saving techniques; the ecological objective is formulated by accounting the CO2 emissions; the economic objective is targeted to profit maximization, constrained by the level of achievement of the energy and ecology targets. The dynamic simulation is expected to help in improving the farm management performance with the simultaneous achievement of the three objectives. Finally, combining the X-farm model with GIS techniques, the analysis will be expanded to the agro-district planning to support the regional strategy for agro-energy production.
