Exploiting Very-Wide Vectors on Intel Xeon Phi with Lattice-QCD Kernels

Our target in this work is to study ways of exploring the parallelism offered by vectorization on accelerators with very wide vector units. To this end, we implemented two kernels that derive from the Wilson Dslash operator and investigate several data layout techniques for increasing the scalability of lattice QCD scientific kernels suitable for the Intel Xeon Phi. In parts of the application where real numbers are used for computation, we see a 6.6x increase in bandwidth compared to scalar code, thanks to the auto-vectorization by the compiler. In other kernels where arithmetic operations on complex numbers dominate, our hand-vectorized code out-performs the auto-vectorization of the compiler. In this paper we find that our proposed Hopping Vector-friendly Ordering allows for more efficient vectorization of complex arithmetic floating point operations. Using this data layout, we manage to increase the sustained bandwidth by approximately 1.8x.
Evaluation of Fusarium Head Blight Resistance in Wheat and the Development of a New Variety by Integrating Type I and II Resistance

Fusarium head blight (FHB), which is caused by Fusarium graminearum Schwabe [teleomorph: Gibberella zeae (Schwein.) Petch], is a devastating disease affecting wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) spikes, which considerably reduces grain yield and quality and produces mycotoxins that are harmful to humans and animals, especially in warm and humid climates, such as that of west Japan. Therefore, an important target of breeding programs is to improve FHB resistance in wheat. In general, wheat cultivars bred in west Japan exhibit high resistance to FHB worldwide. FHB resistance in wheat can be divided into resistance to initial infection (type I) and resistance to spread within the spike (type II). To improve FHB resistance in west Japanese wheat, we first improved the methods used to evaluate type I and II resistance separately. We then analyzed factors related to type I and II resistance using diverse materials. Finally, we selected a wheat line, ‘Norin PL-9,’ into which we integrated type I and II resistance, and applied for registration as the wheat parental line. The knowledge and materials developed in this study are useful for breeding FHB resistance in wheat where FHB outbreak is problematic. This review draws on a series of related studies.
Regional economic integration in Mercosur: The role of real and financial sectors

Abstract This study explores economic interdependence in Mercosur by examining common trends and common cycles among key macro-variables representing both the real and financial sectors of the economy. The serial correlation common features test reveals that the key macroeconomic variables (real output, investment, and intra-regional trade) share common trends in the long run suggesting that macroeconomic interdependence in the Mercosur economies is strong. The exchange rates demonstrate co-movement in the long run as they share a single common trend. These finding suggests that these economies cannot swing away from long-run equilibrium for an extended duration; they will be brought together by their common trends. Similarly, each variable under consideration shares common cycles lending support to the notion of short-run synchronous movement. The trend-cycle decomposition results reveal that the cyclical movements of real output and trade are synchronized with a high degree of positive correlations. Our overall findings thus provide justification and optimism for deeper economic integration among Mercosur countries.
Sacralizing security: religion, violence and authority in mega-cities of the global south

In mega-cities of the Global South, state agencies often lack the capacity to provide infrastructure and security to all citizens. In such contexts, religious organizations and non-state security actors (vigilantes) have merged into alternative governance organizations.
The emergence of religious vigilantes suggests a different connection between religion and violence than emphasized in current research on religious fundamentalism and terrorism. While religious vigilantes use violence systematically, they generally do not aim to overthrow the state, nor do they seek a global audience to witness their violence. They operate side-by-side with state actors to maintain order. 
Major questions are: why do mega-city residents grant these religious vigilantes authority? And what is the role of religion in the legitimation of vigilante practices?
SACRASEC will analyze the production of authority of religious vigilantes in mega-cities of the Global South through an ethnographic comparison of three mega-cities. The case studies focus on Christian and Afro-Brazilian religion in Rio de Janeiro; Christian, Islamic and Indigenous religion in Lagos; and Islamic and Indigenous religion in Jakarta. This comparative focus makes it possible to draw general conclusions about the role of religion in alternative governance, while also enabling an analysis of the particularities of each religious tradition in the context of vigilantism.
This research extends the boundaries of the anthropology of religion and political anthropology. It will provide critically needed knowledge on the power structures in mega-cities of the Global South, and in so doing will contribute important insights to policies aimed at improving human security.
A study on customer relationship management in banks with particular reference to Chennai

Today's customers buying decisions are not based simply on the quality of the product but with the relationship they have with the company. Banking industry has gone through many changes, privatisation to nationalisation and back to privatisation with International players on the one hand accepting deposits and giving advances to expanding services to wide variety of products. It is the responsibility of the organisations to provide what they need so that they can do their job properly. In today's world, we do business with individuals or groups with whom we may never meet and hence much less known in person to person sense. Customer Relationship Management is about creating the feel of comfort in this high tech environment. This paper focuses the role Customer Relationship Management in banking sector and the need for Customer Relationship Management to increase customer value and customer Relationship Management in Banks with special reference to Bank of India.
A unique cost-effective and point of care (poc) kit for the non-invasive rapid in vitro diagnosis of meningococcal disease

Meningococcal disease (MD), caused by Neisseria meningitidis serogroups (mainly ABCXWY), annually affects 1.2 million people worldwide (mainly children and young). Due to its high lethality (8-15% treated patients), permanent sequelae and epidemic potential, MD represents a major public health problem. Despite the societal burden, there is a lack of rapid and accurate diagnostic tools for timely and early treatment that results very costly for healthcare systems (e.g. direct costs valued in € 68 m/hospital/year). In response to the unmet need, BioSpeedia (spin-off from the Institute Pasteur, France) has vast experience in infectious diseases management and is developing the first-ever gold nanoparticle-based immunochromatographic test with demonstrated diagnostic capability for the six Nm serogroups. MeningoSpeed is a non-invasive, accurate (sensitivity and specificity >93%), rapid (<15 min vs PCR: 3h) and cost-competitive in vitro diagnostic test (€45 sample, at least 25 % cheaper than latex agglutination tests and PCR alternatives) for MD diagnosis. Our one-step solution will result on added value for patients, physicians and healthcare purchasers by improving disease monitoring in an accurate and timely fashion way, reducing deaths and sequelae. MeningoSpeed will provide healthcare systems with limited resources with a reliable and cost-effective diagnostic tool, leading to significant cost-savings. MeningoSpeed´s high accuracy and performance under a faster and cheaper cost make it a disruptive solution with great potential for commercial success in the growing point-of-care market (€33 B by 2022, CAGR 10%). Thus, MeningoSpeed is projected to be a profitable business opportunity and a core source of growth for the company (ca. €33 M of accumulated net profit during 2022-2026). A next feasibility study covering the technological, commercial and financial issues will enable us to finalize our business plan and secure our steps towards the successful market launch.
Calibrating GONG Magnetograms with End-to-End Instrument Simulation III: Comparison, Calibration, and Results

This is the last of three papers describing an `absolute' calibration of the GONG magnetograph using and end-to-end simulation of its measurement process. The simulation begins with a MURaM 3D MHD datacube and ends with a `synthetic magnetogram' of the corresponding magnetic field values as they would be observed by GONG. We determine a calibration by comparing the synthetic magnetic field measurements with the MURaM magnetic field values that produced them. The previous two papers have described the GONG measurement process (both instrument and data processing), our simulation of it, and the theory of magnetogram comparison and calibration. In this paper, we address some final points on calibration, combine all of this work into a set of calibration curves, and consider the results. We also review the results of the previous two papers for locality of reference. Our calibration indicates that GONG magnetograms underestimate weak flux by a factor of over 2 near disk center, but that factor decreases to about 1 as the line-of-sight approaches the limb. A preliminary investigation of the generalizability of these results suggests other instruments will be affected in a similar way. We also find that some differences in previous magnetograph comparisons are artifacts of instrumental resolution which do not reflect an intrinsic calibration difference, and the measurements are more similar than sometimes thought. These results are directly applicable to question of solar wind prediction model accuracies, particularly in the search for the cause of the common discrepancy between predicted solar wind magnetic flux at 1 AU and values measured in situ by current satellite missions.

Risk Management for Outsourcing to the Cloud: Security Risks and Safeguards as Selection Criteria for Extern Cloud Services

This short paper describes our ongoing research about security risk management for IT projects which might eventually take benefit from outsourcing to external Cloud services. Choosing appropriate, secure enough Cloud services from multiple offers might be difficult. Hence, we develop the Cloud Security Guide CSG to assist. It contains a specialized methodology for Cloud risk assessment supporting particularly the extraction of security relevant information from user contracts or terms and conditions of public Cloud services. Discovering that many providers fail to communicate their safeguards, we also decided to develop a provider's guide for risk management and for the communication of risk treatments.
Carbonaceous particles reveal that Late Holocene dust causes the dark region in the western ablation zone of the Greenland ice sheet

Abstract A dark region in the western ablation zone of the Greenland ice sheet is caused by outcropping ice layers that contain more dust than the surrounding brighter ice. These higher amounts of dust were deposited in the accumulation zone of the ice sheet and travelled with the ice to the ablation zone. To deduce the period and the causes of this higher dust deposition, carbonaceous particles in ice samples from the dark region and from brighter reference ice were analysed and used for dating. Samples including ice from directly below the surface contain high amounts of modern organic carbon, probably from microorganisms on the ice surface. Deeper samples reveal low amounts of carbonaceous particles, which are originally deposited in the accumulation zone. The amount of outcropping carbonaceous particles in the dark region seems significantly higher than in the reference ice. One of the samples that contained material initially deposited in the accumulation zone was dated and revealed Late Holocene ages, coinciding with a period of enhanced eolian activity in the nearby tundra. Therefore, variable eolian activity during the Holocene effected dust fluxes towards the ice and hence leads to albedo variations in the present ablation zone of the ice sheet.
Validation of the Recipe for Broadband Ground‐Motion Simulations of Japanese Crustal Earthquakes

The robustness of broadband ground‐motion simulation can promote seismic‐hazard assessment. A broadband ground‐motion simulation technique called “the recipe” is used in the scenario earthquake shaking maps of the National Seismic Hazard Maps for Japan. The recipe represents a fault rupture based on a multiple asperity model referred to as the characterized source model. Broadband ground‐motion time histories on the engineering bedrock are computed by a hybrid approach of the 3D finite‐difference method and the stochastic Green’s function method for the long‐ (>1  s) and short‐period ( 70  km); such conditions are outside of the target range of the recipe. Simulations using a 1D velocity structure model were also examined. The simulation results for the 1D and 3D velocity structure models indicated that the 3D velocity structure models are important in reproducing PGV and the later phases with long duration, especially on deep sediment sites.
MONITORING AND CONTROL FOR A LARYNGEAL MASK AIRWAY DEVICE

A reversibly operable motor is mechanically connected to automatically position the piston (27) of an air syringe (26) that is pneumatically connected to the inflatable/deflatable seal ring or cuff (19) of a laryngeal mask airway device (LMA) (12) that is installed in a patient, who is being ventilated and/or anaesthetized via the airway of the LMA device (12). Ideally, (i) the air at the head end of the syringe (26), plus (ii) the air contained in the inflatable cuff (19) of the LMA (12), plus (iii) the air contained in their interconnection, is a "substantially constant" volume which is shared at these three locations but which is automatically shifted by piston (27) displacement, such that air pressure in the substantially constant volume is caused to correct as necessary for conformance to a predetermined level of set-point pressure. Various instrumentalities (10), including microprocessor-controlled instrumentalities, continuously monitor patterns of system response to observed pattern abnormality, with audibly and visually reported warnings to the anaesthetist.
Cable closure end cap.

A cable closure end cap arrangement is provided, to achieve a sealing between a cable splice closure, and a cable end in communication therewith. The arrangements according to the invention may be adapted to accommodate more than one cable extending into an end of a cable closure. Preferred arrangements comprise a composite of inner and outer members, each having a bore therein. Each bore is preferably defined by an arrangement of concentric rings, or a circular ridge/trough arrangement. The circular rings include transverse walls extending therebetween, in a preferred manner permitting an accordion-like flexibility. The accordion-like rings accommodate: cables of different sizes; cables at various angles relative to the end cap arrangement and the cable closure; and, movement of the cable closure, for example upon an aerial messenger wire. End cap arrangements according to the present invention are mounted by means of a slit in communication with each bore. Preferred end cap arrangements are made from a rubber, or thermoplastic rubber material, for flexibility and long life.
The global NAFLD policy review and preparedness index: Are countries ready to address this silent public health challenge?

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a highly prevalent, yet largely underappreciated liver condition which is closely associated with obesity and metabolic disease. Despite affecting an estimated 1 in 4 adults globally, NAFLD is largely absent on national and global health agendas.We collected data from 102 countries, accounting for 86% of the world population, on NAFLD policies, guidelines, civil society engagement, clinical management, and epidemiologic data. A preparedness index was developed by coding questions into 6 domains (policies, guidelines, civil awareness, epidemiology and data, NAFLD detection, and NAFLD care management) and categorising the responses as high, medium, and low; a multiple correspondence analysis was then applied.The highest scoring countries were India (42.7) and the United Kingdom (40.0), with 32 countries (31%) scoring zero out of 100. For 5 of the domains a minority of countries were categorised as high-level while the majority were categorised as low-level. No country had a national or sub-national strategy for NAFLD and <2% of the different strategies for related conditions included any mention of NAFLD. National NAFLD clinical guidelines were present in only 32 countries.Although NAFLD is a pressing public health problem, no country was found to be well prepared to address it. There is a pressing need for strategies to address NAFLD at national and global levels.Around a third of the countries scored a zero on the NAFLD policy preparedness index, with no country scoring over 50/100. Although NAFLD is a pressing public health problem, a comprehensive public health response is lacking in all 102 countries. Policies and strategies to address NAFLD at the national and global levels are urgently needed.
Designing P92 grade martensitic steel header pipes against creep–fatigue interaction loading condition: Damage micromechanisms

The boiler tubes and pipes in the present day coal fired power plants are designed against damage arising from the interaction of creep and fatigue. The present investigation reports the microstructural evolution in P92 grade martensitic steel during pure fatigue and hold time fatigue tests conducted at 600 °C. Fatigue life significantly dropped for hold time fatigue tests in comparison with pure fatigue tests. The drop in fatigue life was more for hold time fatigue tests conducted with compressive hold. Grain boundary oxidation and cracking was identified as the major cause for the decrease in fatigue life under compressive hold. Annihilation of dislocations and pinning of dislocations by MX precipitates were observed to be the microstructural changes during cyclic deformation.
A remote and price efficient tool for jaundice screening

Worldwide, 135 million children are born each year and neonatal jaundice, a common condition caused by elevated levels of bilirubin, affects approximately 60 to 80% of newborns; 114.000 of these newborns die yearly and 63.000 children will survive with kernicterus (severe brain damage) due to undiagnosed or late detection of jaundice. Just in Europe and USA, we estimate that neonatal jaundice costs healthcare systems €1.684 million per year. Current solutions for jaundice diagnosis require expensive hospital laboratory facilities for blood testing and newborn monitoring by professional healthcare workers. Additionally, low-income countries cannot afford blood tests and longer hospital stays to detect and treat jaundice properly. 
To solve this problem, Picterus has created a remote, reliable and low-cost tool with an innovative Smartphone-based system to provide remote diagnosis and monitoring of neonatal jaundice. Our unique technology based in biomedical optics and photonics detects bilirubin levels by taking babies ́ skin pictures, automatically interpreting the results. 
Picterus can be included in the routine newborn tests at hospitals worldwide and can also be used by parents and midwives at home to monitor the baby, thus reducing healthcare system costs in three ways: reducing extra days at hospital after birth for jaundice monitoring, reducing outpatient follow-up of patients and reducing the number of cases of permanent brain damages due to failed or missing diagnosis.
H2020 funding will allow us to leverage the development of Picterus and successfully commercialize it in the European market first, and worldwide afterwards.
