Published: December 2019

Public Private Partnership (PPP) is widely practiced in delivering public infrastructure. PPP utilizes private finance and management strengths. A number of countries worldwide have diverse demands. Political, institutional and macroeconomic conditions are involved in PPP in a wide range of public infrastructures and services. In diverse situations, countries worldwide are involved in a multiple number of PPP projects. With the proliferation of wide engagement in PPP, this paper examines how countries are attracting the private sector in the development of public infrastructure. The paper also determines what is engaged in PPP infrastructure using the multiple discrete-continuous extreme value (MDCEV) model. By examining the 4,423 projects from 86 developing countries, we found that countries are likely to be involved in telecommunication projects, followed by the energy and transportation and water projects. Water is one of the least preferred sectors among the four major infrastructure sectors provided by the PPI database of the World Bank.

Cardiac Arrhythmia is a type of condition a human being suffers from abnormal heart rhythm. This is experienced due to the malfunctioning of electrical impulses that coordinate the heartbeat. When this happens the heartbeats slow/ fast more precisely irregularly. The rhythm of the heart is controlled by a major node called the sinus node which is present at the top of the heart, triggers the electrical pulses which make the heart to beat and pumping of blood to the body. Some of the symptoms of Cardiac Arrhythmia are fainting, unconsciousness, shortness of breath, unexpected functioning of the heart. It leads to death in minutes if medical attention is not provided. To diagnose this doctor, require to study the heart recordings evaluate heartbeats from different parts of the body accurately. It takes a lot of time to evaluate so based on the research work contributed in this field we try to propose a different approach to the same. In this paper, we compare different machine learning techniques and algorithms proposed by different authors and understand the advantages and disadvantages of the system and to bring a new system in place of the existing system where all have used the same ECG recordings from the same database of MIT-BIH. With the initial research work done by us we found out that the use of Phonocardiogram Recordings (PCG) provides more fidelity and accurate compared to ECG recordings. With the initial stage of work, we take the PCG recordings dataset and convert it to a spectrogram image and apply a convolutional neural network to predict the normal or abnormal heartbeat.

Over two decades, Heterogeneous Computing Systems (HCS) are offering large amount of federated computing resources, spanning across different administrative domains, to compute-intensive user applications. Efficient job schedulers are required to allocate HCS resources to user applications to satisfy system provider and user requirements. Offline scheduling is most popular kind of job scheduling in heterogeneous system, in which jobs are collected in batch and scheduled together. Job scheduling in HCS has become NP-hard problem due to system scale, federated structure and high resource as well as job heterogeneity. Simple queuing and deterministic heuristics have failed to provide optimal solution to NP-hard job scheduling problem. Due to NP-hard nature of job scheduling problem, there is always a scope to propose new scheduling solutions using meta-heuristics. Offline scheduling in HCS has been focused more on scheduling independent sequential tasks viz. Bag-of-tasks or Many-tasks. Offline scheduling of parallel jobs (composed of collaborating tasks with no precedence) in HCS has not gained much attention. In this paper, a novel hybrid multi-objective meta-heuristic known as HCSPSO, which combines the qualities of Cuckoo search (CS) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), has been proposed to schedule batch of parallel jobs in multi-cluster HCS platform. Proposed HCSPSO policy is extensively compared with different heuristics and metaheuristics using different resource configurations and real supercomputing workload logs. Comparative results have showed the dominance of the proposed hybrid scheduling algorithm over other algorithms.

The article is devoted to the analysis of certain aspects of a modern contract of goods delivery for the State and municipal needs, the legal significance of the contract of delivery in the system of the Government Order. The contract of delivery is an essential part of the execution of the State and municipal contract, i.e. the contract concluded on behalf of the Russian Federation Government, any subject of the Russian Federation or municipal settlement with governmental or municipal customer to provide state or municipal needs respectively. By this time there are still serious disputes concerning the role of the delivery contract for the State and municipal needs as a type of civil contract, as well as in the legal regulation and maintenance of the governmental and municipal contract. The significance of matters mentioned is connected with the fact that the Government Order carried out by means of a delivery contract not only meets State and municipal needs but can be also regarded as the basis for running target programs of budget and extra-budgetary financing, as well as the formation of the National Welfare Fund.

Task scheduling in cloud is the allocation of resources to a task at a particular time. In cloud, scheduling strategy is defined or adapted by a scheduler according to the changing environment. Allocation of resource with poor capacity to a task may lead to increase in execution time of the task. Problem of resource under utilization may also occur when a resource with high capacity is allocated to a task that requires a resource with lesser capacity. In this paper we proposed an Efficient Grouped Task Scheduling (EGTS) and resource allocation to minimize average waiting time, average execution time and increase resource utilization. EGTS classify Tasks into two groups of similar task type, and sort the tasks in the order of their respective deadlines. Task in each group is allocated Virtual Machine with capacity equal to the average capacity required by tasks in that group. An experiment was conducted using CloudSim to exhibit EGTS and the result shows minimal average execution time, average waiting time and a higher resource utilization compared to Min-Min and Max-Min.

This paper depicts the exploration of output torque of Gear reduction drive and variable frequency drive (VFD) with detailed analysis report for the various load conditions. The right selection of VFD will depend on the load requirement and application. The higher the load therefore more torque needed in an application, the higher the current draw of the motor will be. Since VFDs are rated by their continuous output current (amps), it is important to select a drive with adequate current to the motor for optimal performance. The property of Torque is converse effect of gear reduction. By means of gear ratio, the output torque is increased by developing the torque with reduced efficiency losses. On the other hand, in some applications the gear reduction play a vital role in reduces the speed while increase the torque and in many other applications it uses to increase speed with reduced torque. In recent era, many industrial drives are designed as such that to run at 60% to 100% of rated load. In this scenario the drive would get optimum efficiency is generally obtained nearly 75% of rated load. Thus, a 20 horsepower (HP) electric drive has a satisfactory load range of 12 to 20 HP with optimum efficiency is at 7.5 HP. A motor’s efficiency tends to decrease dramatically below about 50% load. Hence it’s very important to choose the drive for the proper application with different loading conditions.

Segmentation of vertebral bodies (VB) is a preliminary and useful step for the diagnosis of spine pathologies, deformations and fractures caused due to various reasons. We present a method to address this challenging problem of VB segmentation using a trending method – Semantic Segmentation (SS). The objective of semantic segmentation of images usually consisting of three main components - convolutions, downsampling, and upsampling layers is to mark every pixel of an image with a correlating class of what is being described. In this study, we developed a unique automatic semantic segmentation architecture to segment the VB from Computed Tomography (CT) images, and we compared our segmentation results with reference segmentations obtained by the experts. We evaluated the proposed method on a publicly available dataset and achieved an average accuracy of 94.16% and an average Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) of 93.51% for VB segmentation.

In recent times the cloud storage services are widely used for storage and processing. This has made the increasing demand for the mechanism or methodology which will provide the solution for reducing the use of redundant data, to achieve better space and bandwidth requirements of a storage service. Cloud computing enables all the remote workstations are light weighted where the operating system, services and user data are centralized in cloud servers and are shared by other users of the cloud. This sort of data sharing causes collusion attacks on an unsecure environment. Thus a secure protection scheme is needed to encrypt the private information. This may prove to be a problem because the distribution and storage of a key is difficult in a cloud with dynamic users. The proposed system provides distribution of key without the need for a secure communication channel using a group manager. This system also performs data De-duplication and prevents unauthorized access to a file using graphical passwords. Here the user selects an image to authenticate his identity. This image is split into 16 parts by the administrator; these 16 parts are generated randomly using a pseudo random generator technique. Then, the administrator holds onto 4 parts of the entire image to authenticate the user at time of login using Attribute Based Encryption. This helps the administrator authenticate the user and also prevents a revoked user from gaining access to a file. The Group Manager ensures the privacy of the files shared within a group by updating the user information to the database and by using RC6block cipher technique to encrypt the documents at time of storage. Thus when the user needs to download a file from a group a request is sent to the group manager and the decrypted file is then downloaded.

Due to deregulation, exponential growth in the electricity demand, integration of renewable energy sources, lack of analytical computing facility and expansion of network increases the complexity with poor operation of the network. Existing analytical computing facility is failed to give efficient and accurate results for secure operation of the distribution network. Many researchers are working to give potential solution to improve the performance of network operation considering the real time variables. In this paper minimization of power loss is chosen as objective function. Considering the network parameters the optimal placements with different combination of DTC, STATCOM and line reconfiguration are tested on IEEE-15 bus system using MiPower simulation package. The obtained result shows more than 50% power loss reduction, which leads to efficient and stress free operation of the distribution networks.

In terms of the use of information and communication technology (ICT), the East Java government actually needs to identify the groups most affected by the lack of digital inclusion. This is in accordance with one of the nawa bhakti satya's visions, namely the strengthening of people's basic rights and social disruption brought about by the 4.0 technological revolution. Budgetary wastage will occur if we do not know the size of digital poverty in urban districts, especially if various public services are in digital form, but not everyone who uses these public services understands digital.In this study, individual micro data from the 2015 and 2017 of National Socioeconomic Survey districts/ cities in East Java was used which will be aggregated with Podes data for 2018. This is seen as strong enough to analyze the factors affecting district/ city digital poverty in East Java. To map the conditions of digital poverty, classifies districts/ cities into four quadrants as seen from digital poverty and economic poverty, while to find out what factors influence digital poverty are carried out testing the structural relationship between variables using the ordinal logistic regression method.This study is analyze the condition of digital poverty along with the factors that influence it both from economic conditions, demographic conditions, and the availability of infrastructure in districts/ cities in East Java. In addition, it is hoped that the analysis in this study will be able to provide consideration for policy makers in dealing with digital poverty issues, especially pro-poor telecommunications communication policies.

Indigenous peoples in Indonesia are very plural, so they have a variety of kinship or kinship forms, which cause diversity in patterns in the inheritance system. In general, the people in Nanggulan Village, Cawas District, Klaten Regency, recognize parental forms of kinship. Namely the balance of position between husband and wife or interesting from the line of father and mother, then there is a similarity in status inherited between boys and girls. However, in Nanggulan Village there were families who when dividing inheritance, only boys received inheritance from their parents, while their daughters did not get a share. This happens because of a factor, that girls who have married and have their own homes with their husbands and children, they are considered capable and do not need their parents' property in the form of houses. Whereas boys who have married, are more prepared to obtain inheritance in the form of a place to live, because they are considered to have more responsibility than their sisters. Then there is the prevalence of a boy who has a status as a husband and must be responsible for providing a place to live or a house for his wife and child.

A wirelessly appointed system is an accumulation of progressively framing some of moving hubs or mobile nodes or a transitory non-foundation organize without the utilization of any present system foundation. Because of the constrained range of correspondence between portable hubs in the impromptu organize, a few system expectations might be required to send a packet starting with one hub then onto the next in the wireless system. A scope of particular routing conventions have been depicted in most recent years that address multi-hub wirelessly appointed system and their proficiency issues are examined. In this paper, use the NS2.34 network simulator to compare Mobile Ad-Hoc network routing protocols DSDV, AODV and DSR. In this investigation of the effectiveness of routing conventions in systems when changing association parameters (traffic load, portability, arrange size). This archive experiences broad examination among routing performance for AODV, DSDV, DSR routing. For model, packet delivery ratio, delay, number of packet sent, number of packets received, throughput are analyze and also to look at these conventions to check the best routing conventions for Quality of Service in the network.
