TRAFFIC-AWARE ENERGY EFFICIENT VM MIGRATIONS

Cloud computing is the evolving field with new generation technologies to provide state-of-theartservices to customers and organizations situated worldwide. The data centers in the network of servers arethe backbone of the Cloud computing environment with a huge capacity of processing and data storage.Nowadays, data centers are in the limelight for consuming the large amount of energy to support cloudcomputing services throughout the world. Although several techniques have been implemented till now tominimize the energy wastage and network cost in data centres, however, optimization of designed policies isstill very much required. Virtualization approach is used to consolidate the server workload for utilization ofcomputing resources. In this paper, the evolutionary algorithm is used with VM migrations during placement forenergy optimization alongside minimization of traffic overhead cost. Thereafter, scalability and performancetest was conducted to check the flexibility of the algorithm. In addition to this, analysis was carried out to verifythe impact of VM migrations on Quality of Service with specific parameters computed in prior study.
Construction and Design of Multimedia Virtual Simulation Practical Teaching System of Ultrasound Image in Obstetrics

Abstract With the non-destructive, cheap, and real-time advantages, ultrasound diagnosis is one of the indispensable imaging diagnostic techniques in modern clinical medicine. The coherent nature of ultrasound imaging results in a low signal-to-noise ratio of ultrasound images, which adversely affects quantitative analysis and diagnosis. In practical applications, ultrasound diagnosis often has disadvantages such as the varying accuracy dependent on the doctor’s experience, the image feature extraction and analysis methods lagging behind the development of imaging technology, etc. Guided by the concept of “Mix of virtual and actual reality, multivariate cooperation”, the quality of experiment teaching in obstetrics and gynecology should be improved to achieve the experimental teaching goal of obstetrics and gynecology. In this paper, the necessity and characteristics of medical virtual simulation experiments are first analyzed. Subsequently, the construction of the medical virtual simulation experiment is expounded. Finally, how to carry out the experimental teaching of gynecology and obstetrics is summarized.

Interpreting Nonlinear Black-box Models Globally: A Comparative Study of Different Techniques

Author(s): Li, Yingqi | Advisor(s): Li, Jingyi | Abstract: In machine learning, black-box models that discover underlying relationships in data are more predictive than white-box models, but also more challenging to interpret. The constraint of interpretability for nonlinear black-box models is rooted in the interaction effects between features. Based on modeling needs, a white-box model may be sufficient in some circumstances, but understanding how a black-box model generates predictions is essential out of consideration for accuracy and faithfulness. In this paper, we use three global, model-agnostic interpretability methods (Partial Dependence Plot and Individual Conditional Expectation Plot, Global Surrogate, and Global SHAP through discretization) to explain a diverse class of black-box models and compare their behavior quantitatively and qualitatively. The experiment results demonstrate that the performance of the methods varies when the datasets and black-box models in need of interpretation are different. We prove that the methods provide explanations from several perspectives, and therefore present a strategy that selects the most appropriate interpretability method given a new model on a new dataset.
Impact of Spatial Interface Traversal on Learning

As augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) technologies become more mainstream, educational technologies will increase use of AR/VR capabilities. User Experience (UX) designers will need to understand the extent that these capabilities can impact a virtual learning environment. The proposed experiment in this paper seeks to isolate the interface components of traversal fidelity that are unique to AR/VR technologies and offer insight into their impact to user learning, performance, and usability preferences. AR/VR technologies have the unique feature of a spatial interface, which is a system interface that is embedded into the virtual environment in 3D around the user. This enables a level of realism to computer system interfaces that can emulate physical interactions with a higher fidelity than 2D user interfaces on computer monitors. Understanding the benefits that spatial interfaces can bring to user learning and performance, and help user experience (UX) designers develop better virtual learning environments using AR/VR technologies.

Pseudoprojection Estimation Algorithms Based on Approximation of Orthogonal Projection Operation

The Kaczmarz algorithm proposed in [1] is one of the most effective and most computationally simple one-step estimation algorithms. In a number of subsequent studies the possibility of acceleration the Kaczmarz algorithm by the use of not one but a series of measurements was examined. Research made in [8, 9] was a push for the development of a new class of algorithms − multistage projection algorithms [10-14], in which during the construction of estimates on the n-th step not only new information is used, as it comes in Kaczmarz algorithm, but also information about number of previous steps n-1, n-2 ... . The number of these steps determines the algorithm's memory. In this case, thanks to a better extrapolation and filtering, in some cases it is possible to reduce significantly the time of identification. The implementation of multistep (S-step) projection algorithm requires the computation of the inverse matrix of observations of the dimension S × S. In [11-14] properties of random pseudoinverse matrix and the projection matrix are set. It helped to determine the rate of convergence of these algorithms and conclude that taking into account information about previous S steps is equivalent in terms of convergence speed to reduction of the dimension N in the original space to S. In this paper we propose and investigate pseudoprojective algorithms that have close to the multistage projection algorithm properties, but are simpler to implement. These algorithms use an approximation of the exact projection operation and are based on the one-step Kaczmarz adaptive algorithm. Estimates of the convergence rate of the proposed procedures are obtained. It is shown that the use of such approximation allows, with a slight decrease in the convergence rate of the algorithms, to simplify significantly their implementation and increase computational stability due to eliminating the rotation operation of the observation matrix.

A ROBUST UNSUPERVISED WORD BY WORD TRANSLATION FOR MORPHOLOGICAL RICH LANGUAGES USING DIFFERENTRETRIEVAL TECHNIQUES

AbstractWord translation or incorporation of bilingual dictionaries is an important capability that impactsmany multilingual language processing tasks. In recent years, cross-lingual word embedding hasbeen receiving considerable attention. Recently, it has been shown that these word embeddings canbe learned by aligning two monolingual disjoint vector spaces via linear transformations, using assupervision no more than a small bilingual dictionary.In this paper, the best cross-lingual word embedding is generated for English as sourcelanguage, and Hindi, Punjabi, Telegu and Tamil are target language and vice versa. Here, there isno aligned document or sentence aligned corpus, nor any bilingual dictionary has been considering.We are following the assumption of intralingual similarity distribution that, for the most commonword, the distribution graph is similar between language pair and embeddings are isometric.Different types of retrieval methods nearest neighbor, inverted nearest neighbor retrieval, invertedSoftmax, and cross-lingual word scaling are performed and compared for the bi-lingual embeddingof language pairs, which is trained for fully unsupervised learning techniques. Bi-lingual wordembedding is tested on generated English-Hindi, English-Punjabi, English-Telegu English-Tamildictionary..

Energy Efficient Resource Utilization: Architecture for Enterprise Network

Enterprise networks usually require all the computing machines to remain accessible (switched-on) at all times regardless of the workload in order to entertain user requests at any instant. This comes at the cost of excessive energy utilization. Many solutions have been put forwarded, however, only few of them are tested in a real-time environment, where the energy saving is achieved by compromising the systems’ reliability. Therefore, energy-efficient resource utilization without compromising the system’s reliability is still a challenge. In this research, a novel architecture, “Sleep Alert”, is proposed that not only avoids the excessive energy utilization but also improves the system reliability by using Resource Manager (RM) concept. In contrary to traditional approaches, Primary and Secondary Resource Managers i.e. RMP and RMS respectively are used to avoid the single point of failure. The proposed architecture is tested on a network where active users were accessing the distributed virtual storage and other applications deployed on the desktop machines, those are connected with each other through a peer-to-peer network. Experimental results show that the solution can save considerable amount of energy while making sure that reliability is not compromised. This solution is useful for small enterprise networks, where saving energy is a big challenge besides reliability.
A contrastive study of ‘unheated cooking verbs’ in Korean and Japanese - Focusing on the mixture and fermentation -

The study of vocabulary on cooking in Japanese and Korean has been conducted in many fields. However, they have mainly focused on cooking verbs about "heated food" and there are few studies on "unheated cooking verbs". Moreover, there is no previous study that encompasses various aspects of the derivative meaning as well as the primary meaning. This study examines what unheated cooking verbs are in both languages by limiting the range of unheated cooking verbs to mixing and fermentation among Japanese and Korean cooking verbs, and furthermore, clarifies the derivative aspects of the meaning of heating cooking verbs. For this, firstly, headings of the "unheated cooking verb" were extracted from previous studies and cooking books, and then the headings were classified into two subsets, "processing and mixing" and "preservation and fermentation". The group of verbs for ‘processing and mixing’ was further divided into 〈seasoning to taste〉, 〈putting〉, and 〈mixing〉 and the group of verbs for ‘preservation and fermentation’ were divided into 〈dipping〉, 〈brewing〉, and 〈fermenting〉. The Japanese and Korean unheated cooking verbs share many similar parts, but they also show interesting differences according to the differences in expression. Further, among the "unheated cooking verbs" of both languages, verbs that were used purely to convey the meaning of cooking were rarely observed. Many verbs expanded their meaning from the meaning of general verbs to the meaning of cooking. This aspect of the meaning expansion cannot be explained by the linguistic aspect only, and the relationship with the cultural aspect should be examined together. The difference in the usage patterns of the two languages" cooking verbs is thought to be related to the differences in the types of foods, the cooking methods, and the language expressions that stem from the development of the food culture, and it is expected that the differences in the food culture between the two countries will be clarified by summarizing the overall cooking verbs in Japanese and Korean. 日本語と韓国語の調理に関する研究は多岐にわたって行われているが、調理動詞の側面においては、主に「加熱調理動詞」を中心に行われており、「非加熱調理動詞」を扱う研究は少ない。さらに、調理の一次的な意味だけでなく、派生的な意味の様相を合わせた先行研究はほとんど見つからなかった。 このような点に着目し、本論文では、まず、日本語と韓国語の調理動詞のうち、混合と発酵を中心とした非加熱調理動詞に範囲を限定する。そして両言語において、どのような非加熱調理動詞の表現が現れるのか考察し、さらに加熱調理動詞の意味の派生様相を明らかにしようとした。 このため、まず先行研究と辞典および料理関連書から「非加熱調理動詞」を抽出し、「加工および混合」、「保存および発酵」に分類した。また、「加工および混合」を〈味付ける〉、〈入れる〉、〈混ぜる〉に分け、「保存および発酵」の段階を〈漬ける〉、〈醸す〉、〈発酵する〉に分け、それぞれの動詞を分類した。 日本語と韓国語の「非加熱調理動詞」は表現の側面において似たような部分が多いが、その中でも表現の違いによる相違点が見られることが興味深い結果になる。 一方、両国の「非加熱調理動詞」のうち、純粋に料理の意味でのみ使用される動詞はほとんど確認されず、多くの動詞が一般動詞の意味から調理の意味に拡張されて現れる様相を確認することができた。 このような考察の結果は、言語的側面だけでは説明しきれない部分があり、文化的側面との関係も見てみる必要がある。料理の種類と調理方法及び食文化の発達による表現の差が調理動詞の使用様相とも関係があると判断され、日本語と韓国語の全体的な調理動詞を整理してみると両国の食文化の差も明確に現われると思われる。

대안 부품을 고려한 다계층 시스템의 중복 할당을 위한 입자 군집 최적화

Purpose: The problem of optimizing redundancy allocation in multi-level systems is considered when each item in a multi-level system has alternative items with the same function. The number of redundancy of multi-level system is allocated to maximize the reliability of the system under path set and cost limitation constraints.Methods: Based on cost limitation and path set constraints, a mathematical model is established to maximize system reliability. Particle swarm optimization is employed for redundant allocation and verified by numerical experiments.Results: Comparing the particle swarm optimization method and the memetic algorithm for the 3 and 4 level systems, the particle swarm optimization method showed better performance for solution quality and search time. Particularly, the particle swarm optimization showed much less than the memetic algorithm for variation of results.Conclusion: The proposed particle swarm optimization considerably shortens the time to search for a feasible solution in MRAP with path set constraints. PS optimization is expected to reduce search time and propose the better solution for various problems related to MRAP.
Mineral Surface Composition of Rocks and Ores of the Golden Giant Gold Deposit of Hemlo, Ontario, Canada

The high sensitivity of the Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES) makes it useful for searching trace fluid composition preserved on mineral surfaces and grain boundaries. In this study we used AES to investigate the surface composition of country rocks and ores of the Golden Giant gold deposit of Hemlo, Ontario.The Hemlo gold deposits are situated within a sequence of Archean metasedimentary and metavolcanic supracrustal rocks that are part of the Hemlo-Heron Bay greenstone belt within Wawa subprovince of Superior structural province, The greenstone belt has been subjected to a complicated history of deposition, magmatism, deformation, metamorphism and metasomatism, The country rocks investigated include oligoclase-biotite-quartz schist, quartz-oligoclase-muscovite schist, quartz-oligoclase prophyritic breccia, quartz-eye muscovite schist and quartz-eye microcline granofels. The ores investigated include quartz-microcline siliceous ore, muscovitic ore, baritic ore and biotitic ore. In most samples chloride films with minor S and K are preserved on grain boundaries showing that Cl-bearing fluids were involved in formation of the rocks and ores. The country rocks close to the ore zones have high Cl content on mineral surfaces. The baritic ore contains distinctly high surface Cl (up to 6.3 wt%). The study of fluid inclusions in quartz veinlets from the Golden Giant deposit supports the AES results. The fluid inclusions are highly saline (19–29 NaCl wt%, equivalent). Analysis of fluid inclusion brine residues produced by evaporation shows that NaCl dominates, with variable amounts of CaCl2 and carbonate species. It is surprising that the fluid inclusions have such low homogenization temperatures, ranging from 167 to 227°C. The data seems to support an epithermal model for some of the veins.
W-OTS# - Shorter and Faster Winternitz Signatures

A very simple modification to the standard W-OTS scheme is presented called W-OTS# that achieves a security enhancement similar to W-OTS+ but without the overhead of hashing a randomization vector in every round of the chaining function. The idea proffered by W-OTS# is to simply thwart Birthday-attacks altogether by signing an HMAC of the message-digest (keyed with cryptographically random salt) rather than the message-digest itself. The signer thwarts a birthday attack by virtue of requiring that the attacker guess the salt bits in addition to the message-digest bits during the collision scanning process. By choosing a salt length matching the message-digest length, the security of W-OTS# reduces to that of the cryptographic hash function. This essentially doubles the security level of W-OTS and facilitates the use of shorter hash functions which provide shorter and faster signatures for same security. For example, W-OTS# 128-bit signatures have commensurate security to standard W-OTS 256-bit signatures yet are roughly half the size and twice as fast. It is proposed that Blake2b-128 and Winternitz parameter w=4 (i.e. base-16 digits) be adopted as the default parameter set for the W-OTS# scheme.
