Archiving the Czech Web: Issues and Challenges

The Czech web archiving project started as a two-year research and development project of the National Library. Its main target was to investigate problems connected with collection and long-term preservation of electronic information resources. The project team was able to establish a testbed for harvesting web resources, based on software tools developed by the NEDLIB project. Nowadays, the Webarchiv project continues as a collaborative effort of the National Library of the Czech Republic, Moravian Library in Brno and Masaryk University. This paper describes the project and discusses its possible future development.
Distributed radio resource management in LTE-advanced networks with type 1 relay

Long Term Evolution (LTE)-Advanced is proposed as a candidate of the 4th generation (4G) mobile telecommunication systems. As an evolved version of LTE, LTE- Advanced is also based on Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and in addition, it adopts some emerging technologies, such as relaying. Type I relay nodes, de_ned in LTE-Advanced standards, can control their cells with their own reference signals and have Radio Resource Management (RRM) functionalities. The rationale of RRM is to decide which resources are allocated to which users for optimising performance metrics, such as throughput, fairness, power consumption and Quality of Service (QoS). The RRM techniques in LTE-Advanced networks, including route selection, resource partitioning and resource scheduling, are facing new challenges brought by Type 1 relay nodes and increasingly becoming research focuses in recent years. The research work presented in this thesis has made the following contributions. A service-aware adaptive bidirectional optimisation route selection strategy is proposed to consider both uplink optimisation and downlink optimisation according to service type. The load between di_erent serving nodes, including eNBs and relay nodes, are rebalanced under the _xed resource partitioning. The simulation results show that larger uplink throughputs and bidirectional throughputs can be achieved, compared with existing route selection strategies. A distributed two-hop proportional fair resource allocation scheme is proposed in order to provide better two-hop end-to-end proportional fairness for all the User Equipments (UEs), especially for the relay UEs. The resource partitioning is based on the cases of none Frequency Reuse (FR) pattern, full FR pattern and partial FR patterns. The resource scheduling in access links and backhaul links are considered jointly. A proportional fair joint route selection and resource partitioning algorithm isproposed to obtain an improved solution to the two-hop Adaptive Partial Frequency Reusing (APFR) problem with one relay node per cell. In addition, two special situations of APFR, full FR and no FR, are utilised to narrow the iterative search range of the proposed algorithm and reduce its complexity.
Technical Findings, Lessons Learned, and Recommendations Resulting from the Helios Prototype Vehicle Mishap

The Helios Prototype was originally planned to be two separate vehicles, but because of resource limitations only one vehicle was developed to demonstrate two missions. The vehicle consisted of two configurations, one for each mission. One configuration, designated HP01, was designed to operate at extremely high altitudes using batteries and high-efficiency solar cells spread across the upper surface of its 247-foot wingspan. On August 13, 2001, the HP01 configuration reached an altitude of 96,863 feet, a world record for sustained horizontal flight by a winged aircraft. The other configuration, designated HP03, was designed for long-duration flight. The plan was to use the solar cells to power the vehicle's electric motors and subsystems during the day and to use a modified commercial hydrogen-air fuel cell system for use during the night. The aircraft design used wing dihedral, engine power, elevator control surfaces, and a stability augmentation and control system to provide aerodynamic stability and control. At about 30 minutes into the second flight of HP03, the aircraft encountered a disturbance in the way of turbulence and morphed into an unexpected, persistent, high dihedral configuration. As a result of the persistent high dihedral, the aircraft became unstable in a very divergent pitch mode in which the airspeed excursions from the nominal flight speed about doubled every cycle of the oscillation. The aircraft s design airspeed was subsequently exceeded and the resulting high dynamic pressures caused the wing leading edge secondary structure on the outer wing panels to fail and the solar cells and skin on the upper surface of the wing to rip away. As a result, the vehicle lost its ability to maintain lift, fell into the Pacific Ocean within the confines of the U.S. Navy's Pacific Missile Range Facility, and was destroyed. This paper describes the mishap and its causes, and presents the technical recommendations and lessons learned for improving the design, analysis, and testing methods and techniques required for this class of vehicle.
PERFORMANCE PREDICTION AND COST-EFFECTIVENESS OF ASPHALT-RUBBER CONCRETE IN AIRPORT PAVEMENTS

An asphalt-rubber concrete and an asphalt concrete were tested in the laboratory and materials characterizations and properties were generated. The characterization parameters and a runway model for a municipal airport were input into the modified ILLIPAVE computer program for predictions of rutting and cracking damage and relative lives of the materials as airfield pavement surfaces in each of four climatic zones. An economic evaluation was performed comparing the expected service lives and costs of each material in each zone. An equivalent uniform annual cost per square yard over the life of the pavement for the construction cost of each pavement was determined. The material with the least equivalent uniform annual cost was selected as the most cost-effective. In every zone but the dry no-freeze zone, the asphalt-rubber concrete was calculated to be the most cost-effective material.

The Future of the Mobile Application Market

The smartphone market and the mobile application market is booming up in tact with smartphone shipments estimated to double in 2016 and with approximately 100 000 new mobile applications being uploaded every month to Appstore and Google Play combined it is obvious that the mobile application market is emerging. Digital advertising is becoming smarter and more valuable and less extreme userbases are required to be able to profit from mobile advertising. But even though more and more applications enter the market only few will survive over time and only few will be able to generate revenue from advertising. Snapchat is a good example of one of the mobile applications with huge potential in terms of mobile advertising and was of the beginning of 2014 valued to over $3-4b, but might have a limited timeframe to live up to the high valuation as different risks exist and could influence the further development of the Snapchat userbase. History also plays a big part when it comes to analysing the future of Snapchat, and Snapchat can be seen as in the same category as many online social networks that have failed over time. The few apps that make it to the top almost always reside in the category of social apps (or anti-social apps as discussed in section 4.3) but there does not seem to emerge a Winner takes it all-market, mainly very often because of some sort of product differentiation between the different social or anti-social mobile applications, and because of different mobile applications enters different geographical markets at launch, and therefore already has a big userbase before entering markets with already existing similar applications. A good example might be the three very similar mobile messaging apps Viber, WhatsApp and WeChat, all having large userbases around the world. Games also seem to be in the top layer when it comes to revenue generation, but the market for games is clogging up and might give less opportunities in the future. Another conclusion from studying the mobile application market is that many users are fleeing from social networks (like Facebook and Twitter) to anti-social networks where users only connect with a few number of users. This might be one of the reasons that Snapchat has gained the popularity as it has and why Facebook deciced to acquire WhatsApp for $18b.
Reframing the research: a salutary tale from the field

The introduction into the Australian vocational education and training (VET) sector of a national training framework (NTF) occasioned the need for extensive and practical professional development of staff within the sector. A major, nationwide initiative to this end was the Australian National Training Authority (ANTA) sponsored program, Framing the Future. This program aimed to meet the needs of VET professionals to keep up to date with the changes in the VET system, and to do so by means of work based learning projects. The program was grounded in the belief that encouraging VET practitioners to take responsibility for their own learning needs would empower them to cope with these changes. In March 2001 it was proposed that Framing the Future be expanded beyond its staff development brief to be a more comprehensive, national support program assisting the VET sector in change management, policy engagement, networking, research and information services. (Mitchell & Young, 2001) Thus it was that the project’s objectives were expanded and, adopting the title of Mitchell’s report into the project’s long-term impacts, it was re-badged as Reframing the Future.

Numerical and experimental methods applied to human exposure to electromagnetic fields

The research focuses on a hybrid experimental-numerical technique, based on Boundary Element Method (BEM), to reconstruct the electromagnetic eld distribution in the space surrounding unknown sources, in both low and high frequency range. The same procedure also allows to evaluate the induced electric eld non-invasively when human body presents near such sources. By applying BEM (including Green function) to a discretized surface that enclosing the sources, the electromagnetic elds outside the surface (source free region) can be received from an integration of same quantities over this surface. At low frequency range (up to 100 kHz), the induced electric eld inside human body can be also calculated as an inverse process, i.e. applying again BEM over a discrete body surface on which the magnetic elds are provided through the above procedure, to compute the elds at any point inside this surface. The only approximation during this procedure is assuming that on each discrete element, the eld values are uniform. Measurement can be performed on a grid with regular step over any known surfaces and both the magnitude and phase are required for each component of the electric and magnetic elds. The experimental validation at low frequency range has been carried out around a Helmholtz coil system enclosed by a wooden frame, which is used to position the 3D magnetic eld probe. Numerous eld distributions can be generated through this system by separately imposing the currents which supply the two coils, and three of them are applied in the validation procedure. The three voltage signals detected by the eld meter (corresponding to the three components of the magnetic elds) are sampled synchronously with the fourth one, which is picked up from the supply circuit and acts like a trigger, in order to compute the phases of the other three signals. The measured data is tted by an interpolation/extrapolation technique before adopted as input for BEM reconstruction in free space. Reconstruction quality through proposed BEM procedure has been investigated through dierent approaches, as well as the accuracy of the induced electric eld evaluation inside the human body. Measurement uncertainty propagation has been estimated through Monte Carlo method coupled with a discrete numerical technique. At last, the prediction of the radiation emission generated by a radio frequency model has been also presented, as an example of application for the proposed eld reconstruction in high frequency (300 MHz). A satisfactory accuracy is obtained through the comparison with another numerical method
A self-aggregating peptide forms nanoparticles useful in the design of thermostable vaccines

Abstract Background: The use of biomaterials has been expanded to improve the characteristics of vaccines. Recently we have identified that the peptide PH (1-110) from polyhedrin self-aggregates and incorporate foreign proteins to form particles. We have proposed this peptide can be used as an antigen carrying system for vaccines. However, the immune response generated by the antigen fused to the peptide has not been characterized. In addition, the adjuvant effect and thermostability of the particles has not been evaluated. Results: In the present study we demonstrate the use of a system developed to generate nanoparticles carrying as a fusion protein peptides or proteins of interest to use as vaccines. These nanoparticles are purified easily by centrifugation. Immunization of mice BALB/c with the nanoparticles in the absence of adjuvant result in a robust and long-lasting immune response. Proteins contained inside the nanoparticles are maintained for over one year at ambient temperature, preserving their immunological properties. Conclusion: The rapid and efficient production of the nanoparticles in addition to the robust immune response they generate position this system as an excellent method for the rapid response against emerging diseases. The thermostability conferred by the nanoparticle system facilitates the distribution of the nanovaccines in developing countries or areas with no electricity.

Quantitative methods were used in this research which includes descriptive and inferential test through data collection from the questionnaires. There were 550 respondents who were given the questionnaire forms and the respondents consist of technical personnel from Grade 17 to Grade 54. Out of the 550 questionnaire forms given out, 409 were returned which means to say that the response rate was 74%. However, only 399 questionnaire forms were found completely answered for the analysis, while the remainder of 10 questionnaire forms were incompletely answered and were rejected. Research has been conducted through well structured questionnaire consisting of 80 questions as a research tool. The data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) Version 12. Descriptive and inferential techniques were applied which includes frequency test, ANOVA Test, Pearson Correlation-r and Multiple Linear Regression to test the 3 hypothesis formed. The research finding shows that personnel in JKR Malaysia Headquarters of having high level of job involvement, medium level of satisfaction and low levels of job stress. Research also found that there was significant correlations between Resource Inadequacy, Working conditions, Work itself, Supervision, Carrier Promotions, Co-workers and Pay towards organizational commitment in JKR Malaysia. The result of multiple linear regression shows all the variables in this study contributed only 42% and the remainder 58% were contributed by other factors which were not tested. The results also showed there was significant difference towards organizational commitment based on age, length of service and field of service of the technical personnel in JKR Malaysia. Based on the research finding in order to increase the level of commitment among technical personnel, the management of JKR Malaysia must properly plan and assign tasks based on individuals ability and need to allow them to fully utilize their expertise to perform the job of project management. Employees with low level of satisfaction and commitment need to be identified to get their ideas and view for better improvement action to be taken effectively.
Reduced model for a brake system in the longitudinal movement of a bus

The present work shows a complete model for longitudinal movement of an automobile, is starts with de reference coordinate systems for every subsystem of the vehicle. The interest of the model is around the maximum value of the contact force, which physically means that the wheel is closed to a block situation. After this we obtained the characteristic values for every subsystem, and the model is evaluated for a metropolitan transport bus, Finally, considering the constant time for changes on the angular velocity as characteristic time we apply the fractional analysis to obtain a reduced order model of the bus which describes the movement with enough accuracy for the conditions considered.
The Surprising Value of Wind Farms as Generating Capacity

Wind power is intermittent and has low predictability. Consequently it would seem to be of little use for helping system operators with reliability. However reliability is a statistical property of the system, so the contribution of wind to reliability must be based on its affect on the probability that net load will exceed available capacity. To the extent wind is uncorrelated with load and a very small part of total generating capacity, this paper demonstrates that a wind farm with X megawatts of average output provides X megawatts of capacity value. As the fraction of power provided by wind increases, its capacity value decreases, but it remains significant up to surprisingly high levels of wind penetration.
Design Analysis of a Space Based Chromotomographic Hyperspectral Imaging Experiment

Abstract : This research develops the design of several components and/or systems for an experimental space-based chromotomographic hyperspectral imager that is being built by the Air Force Institute of Technology. The design work included three separate topics. The first topic was the development of a structure utilizing finite element analysis and eigenvalue modal analysis for the ground-based version of the chromotomographic experiment. The ground-based experiment was performed as a risk mitigation measure for the space-based experiment. The second topic included a design review of a contractor's proposed off-axis mersenne telescope for the space-based chromotomographic hyperspectral imager. The third topic addressed was a trade study of on-orbit focus, alignment and calibration schemes for the space-based version of the chromotomography experiment.
Integrity Verification for SCADA Devices Using Bloom Filters and Deep Packet Inspection

Abstract : In the past, SCADA networks were made secure through undocumented, proprietary protocols and isolation from other networks. Today, modern information technology (IT) solutions have provided a means to enhance remote access through use of the Internet. Unfortunately, opening SCADA networks to the Internet has provided routes of attack. Cyber attacks on these networks are becoming more common and can inflict considerable damage to critical infrastructure systems. Furthermore, devices on these networks can be infected with malware that causes them to falsify their responses to operators, concealing alternate operation or hiding alarm conditions. Considering their applications, securing these networks translates to improved physical security in the real world. Since modern IT solutions are impractical to deploy in the resource constrained SCADA networks, other solutions must be researched. This research evaluates an integrity verification system implemented on a Xilinx ML507 development board called the SIEVE system. The design incorporates Bloom filters and SCADA-specific intrusion detection techniques to speed identification of invalid commands and current sensing to investigate whether or not a device correctly carried out a given command. Results show that the SIEVE system is able to inspect and correctly identify 100% of network traffic at a 200 command per second frequency. Correct identification of valid MODBUS/TCP traffic begins to fail at 350 commands per second, introducing false positives. Tests of the Bloom filters show that they reduce the time necessary to process and log invalid MODBUS/TCP commands by 4.5% to 2328.06% depending on the number of operations performed by the command.

From the experimental results, we made sure the effects that the meditation music and vibroacoustic stimuli influenced the stress reduction of human body for good as alpha wave was increased continuously during the good stimuli and after that.
Improving VAV zone control

While the most important function of any variable air volume (VAV) system is to provide a high quality environment for building occupants, this critical function rarely receives the attention it deserves. As a result, basic control strategies for terminal VAV boxes have seen little significant change since the introduction of pressure independent box control more than 30 years ago.
