Introducing Sustainability in a Robotic Engineering Degree: A Case Study
Authors: Pujol Francisco A. , Tomás David
Published: July 2020

This paper describes a group activity concerning the topic of climate change, designed to introduce the concepts of sustainable development into a Robotic Engineering degree. The purpose of this activity was to make students reflect about the impact of their work on the planet as future engineers by asking them to design an environmentally friendly robot that also integrated social and economic aspects, covering the three dimensions of sustainability in this way. Students were surveyed in order to study different aspects of their commitment, attitudes, practices, and motivation towards sustainability. In addition to the overall analysis of the survey, three specific studies were carried out with the aim of comparing the responses of different population groups: (i) Students who completed the proposed assignment and students who did not, (ii) female and male students, and (iii) roles played in the assignment. The results of the analysis revealed the high commitment of the students with respect to sustainability, but also a lack of active participation and awareness of their impact as future engineers. The activity was not only a way to introduce sustainability concepts, but in many cases, it also became a motivation for the participants, especially for the female students.

Published: July 2020

The photovoltaic cell temperature is a key factor in solar energy harvesting. Solar radiation raises temperature on the cell, lowering its peak efficiency. Air jet impingement is a high heat transfer rate system and has been previously used to cool the back surface of photovoltaic modules and cells. In this work, an experimental comparison of the cooling performance of two different air jet impingement crossflow schemes was performed. Crossflow is defined as the air mass interacting with a certain jet modifying its movement. This leads to a change in its heat exchange capabilities and is related with the inlet-outlet arrangement of the fluid. In this work, zero and minimum crossflow schemes were compared. The main contribution of this work considered the consumption of the flow supplying devices to determine the most suitable system. The best configuration increased the net power output of the cell by 6.60%. These results show that air impingement cooling can play a role in increasing photovoltaic profitability. In terms of uniformity, on small impingement plates with a low number of nozzles, the advantages expected from the zero crossflow configuration did not stand out.

Authors: Giones Ferran , Laufs Daniel , Schultz Carsten
Published: July 2020

We report the experience of the FucoSan InterReg project that had the ambition to generate commercialization opportunities for biotechnology research in a marine environment. Fucoidan, a promising biomarine polysaccharide extracted from seaweed, offers a broad array of potential applications; however, the supporting innovation value chain is still under development. We explore how the use of business modelling tools can contribute to building a shared understanding of commercialization opportunities across a diverse range of research and development actors. We analyze data (interviews, workshops, and surveys) from a German-Danish network of actors involved in the FucoSan InterReg project to identify how the tools contribute to setting up a base to support future activities across a potential innovation value chain. The results point towards the direct and indirect positive effects of engaging in the co-creation of a shared understanding of the functionality and possibilities of promising biomarine products. The findings support the idea that interdisciplinary and multilateral interactions help actors to identify the necessary connections and interdependencies to build a sustainability-driven innovation value chain.
Energy Retrofit of Social Housing with Cultural Value in Spain: Analysis of Strategies Conserving the Original Image vs. Coordinating Its Modification
Authors: López-Mesa Belinda , Monzón-Chavarrías Marta , Espinosa-Fernández Almudena
Published: July 2020

Two renovation strategies were considered and compared in this paper for the energy renovation of social housing in condo buildings built in 1945–1969, situated in residential estates that have been declared urban areas of interest. One of the strategies, named here the image conservation approach, consists of renovating the building with very efficient solutions, except for the brick-facing walls, which will only have insulation in the existing cavities. The other strategy, the image coordination approach, consists of renovating the whole building with efficient solutions, including external insulation for existing brick-facing walls, and drawing up coordination plans for each of the residential estates in order to guarantee a coordinated new image of the residential estates. By means of three case studies in the city of Zaragoza and four scenarios of improvement, the two strategies are compared regarding the regulation compliance, the energy use, the emissions reduction, the thermal comfort, and the cost-effectiveness of the measures. The results show that the image coordination approach is the best strategy in regard to the studied aspects, achieving a 69%–79% reduction of CO2 emissions and a 75%–97% reduction of heating use, as well as being the only one capable of transforming these buildings into nearly zero energy buildings (nZEBs).
Clustering Stock Performance Considering Investor Preferences Using a Fuzzy Inference System

Published: July 2020

The fact that many stocks are traded in the marketplace makes the selection process of choosing the right stocks for investment crucial and challenging. In the literature on stock selection, cluster analysis-based methods have usually been used to group and to determine the best stock for investment. Many established cluster analysis-based methods often cluster stocks under consideration using the average of the variables, where stocks with similar scores are concluded as having the same performances. Nevertheless, the performance results obtained do not reflect the actual performance of the stocks. Depending only on the average score of each variable is inefficient, as market situations usually involve uncertain extreme values. Moreover, when grouping stock performance, the established clustering methods assume that investors’ selection preferences are single and unclear, when actually, in reality, investors’ selection preferences vary; some investors are pessimistic, while others may be more optimistic. Due to this issue, this paper presents a novel fuzzy clustering method using a fuzzy inference system to flexibly assess the consistent evaluations given to stock performance that differentiate between pessimistic and optimistic investors that are symmetrical in nature. All variables considered in this study were defined in terms of linguistic inputs, where the consensus among them was aggregated using rule bases. These rule bases provide assistance in obtaining the linguistic output, which is the actual performance of the stock. Next, each stock under consideration was ranked using the proposed novel stock selection strategy based on investors’ confidence levels and preferences. The proposed method was then applied to a case study of 30 Syariah stocks listed on the Malaysian stock exchange, where the results obtained were empirically validated with established cluster analysis-based methods.

Published: July 2020

The selection of sustainable supplier is an extremely important for sustainable supply chain management (SSCM). The assessment process of sustainable supplier selection is a complicated task for decision experts due to involvement of several qualitative and quantitative criteria. As the uncertainty is commonly occurred in sustainable supplier selection problem and hesitant fuzzy set (HFS), an improvement of Fuzzy Set (FS), has been proved as one of the efficient and superior ways to express the uncertain information arisen in practical problems. The present study proposes a novel framework based on COPRAS (Complex Proportional Assessment) method and SWARA (Step-wise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis) approach to evaluate and select the desirable sustainable supplier within the HFSs context. In the proposed method, an extended SWARA method is employed for determining the criteria weights based on experts’ preferences. Next, to illustrate the efficiency and practicability of the proposed methodology, an empirical case study of sustainable supplier selection problem is taken under Hesitant Fuzzy (HF) environment. Further, sensitivity analysis is performed to check the stability of the presented methodology. At last, a comparison with existing methods is conducted to verify the strength of the obtained result. The final outcomes confirm that the developed framework is more consistent and powerful than other existing approaches.
AFLA-PISTACHIO: Development of a Mechanistic Model to Predict the Aflatoxin Contamination of Pistachio Nuts
Authors: Kaminiaris Michail D. , Camardo Leggieri Marco , Tsitsigiannis Dimitrios I. , Battilani Paola
Published: July 2020

In recent years, very many incidences of contamination with aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in pistachio nuts have been reported as a major global problem for the crop. In Europe, legislation is in force and 12 μg/kg of AFB1 is the maximum limit set for pistachios to be subjected to physical treatment before human consumption. The goal of the current study was to develop a mechanistic, weather-driven model to predict Aspergillus flavus growth and the AFB1 contamination of pistachios on a daily basis from nut setting until harvest. The planned steps were to: (i) build a phenology model to predict the pistachio growth stages, (ii) develop a prototype model named AFLA-pistachio (model transfer from AFLA-maize), (iii) collect the meteorological and AFB1 contamination data from pistachio orchards, (iv) run the model and elaborate a probability function to estimate the likelihood of overcoming the legal limit, and (v) manage a preliminary validation. The internal validation of AFLA-pistachio indicated that 75% of the predictions were correct. In the external validation with an independent three-year dataset, 95.6% of the samples were correctly predicted. According to the results, AFLA-pistachio seems to be a reliable tool to follow the dynamic of AFB1 contamination risk throughout the pistachio growing season.
Genuine Dilatons in Gauge Theories
Authors: Crewther R. J.
Published: July 2020

A genuine dilaton σ allows scales to exist even in the limit of exact conformal invariance. In gauge theories, these may occur at an infrared fixed point (IRFP) α IR through dimensional transmutation. These large scales at α IR can be separated from small scales produced by θ μ μ , the trace of the energy-momentum tensor. For quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the conformal limit can be combined with chiral S U ( 3 ) × S U ( 3 ) symmetry to produce chiral-scale perturbation theory χ PT σ , with f 0 ( 500 ) as the dilaton. The technicolor (TC) analogue of this is crawling TC: at low energies, the gauge coupling α goes directly to (but does not walk past) α IR , and the massless dilaton at α IR corresponds to a light Higgs boson at α ≲ α IR . It is suggested that the W ± and Z 0 bosons set the scale of the Higgs boson mass. Unlike crawling TC, in walking TC, θ μ μ produces all scales, large and small, so it is hard to argue that its “dilatonic” candidate for the Higgs boson is not heavy.

Published: July 2020

Over the last few decades, major efforts in cancer research and treatment have intensified. Apart from standard chemotherapy approaches, immunotherapy has gained substantial traction. Personalized immunotherapy has become an important tool for cancer therapy with the discovery of immune checkpoint inhibitors. Traditionally, tumor-associated antigens are used in immunotherapy-based treatments. Nevertheless, these antigens lack specificity and may have increased toxicity. With the advent of next-generation technologies, the identification of new tumor-specific antigens is becoming more important. In colorectal cancer, several tumor-specific antigens were identified and functionally validated. Multiple clinical trials from vaccine-based and adoptive cell therapy utilizing tumor-specific antigens have commenced. Herein, we will summarize the current landscape of tumor-specific antigens particularly in colorectal cancer.

Published: July 2020

Understanding the hydrologic and hydrochemistry processes in the riparian area is of great importance for managing and protecting riparian water resources. This paper took a highly disturbed and polluted Shaying River Basin (SRB) of China as the study area. In this research, environmental tracers (hydrochemical and isotopic data of222Rn, δ18O, and δD) and corresponding models (two-component mixing model and 222Rn mass balance model) were employed to investigate the hydrologic and associated hydro-chemical process of riparian groundwater. The results indicated that rivers received groundwater discharge located at Xihua (J8), Zhoukou (Y1), Luohe (S2), and Shenqiu (SY2), and the mixing extent with groundwater was greater in wet seasons than in dry seasons. The 222Rn mass balance model showed that the flux of river water leakage was 3.27 × 10−4 m3/(s·m) at the front of Zhoukou sluice while groundwater discharge was 3.50 × 10−3 m3/(s·m) at the front of Shenqiu sluice during the sampling period. The cation exchange and the dissolution/precipitation of aquifer minerals (including calcite, dolomite, gypsum, and halite) were dominated by geochemical processes. The untreated sewage discharge and fertilizer usage were the main anthropogenic activities affecting the hydrochemistry process in surface water and riparian groundwater. Additionally, our results found that nitrate pollutants derived by riparian groundwater were potential threats to river quality at the lower reaches of Jialu River and Shenqiu county of Shaying River, where the nitrate inputs could be larger during the wet seasons because of higher groundwater discharge.
Socio-Hydrology: A New Understanding to Unite or a New Science to Divide?
Authors: Madani Kaveh , Shafiee-Jood Majid
Published: July 2020

The socio-hydrology community has been very successful in promoting the need for taking the human factor into account in the mainstream hydrology literature since 2012. However, the interest in studying and modeling human-water systems is not new and pre-existed the post-2012 socio-hydrology. So, it is critical to ask what socio-hydrology has been able to offer that would have been unachievable using the existing methods, tools, and analysis frameworks. Thus far, the socio-hydrology studies show a strong overlap with what has already been in the literature, especially in the water resources systems and coupled human and natural systems (CHANS) areas. Nevertheless, the work in these areas has been generally dismissed by the socio-hydrology literature. This paper overviews some of the general concerns about originality, practicality, and contributions of socio-hydrology. It is argued that while in theory, a common sense about the need for considering humans as an integral component of water resources systems models can strengthen our coupled human-water systems research, the current approaches and trends in socio-hydrology can make this interest area less inclusive and interdisciplinary.

Published: July 2020

Water pollution by heavy metals is one of the leading environmental concerns as a result of intense anthropogenic pressure on the aquatic environment. This constitutes a significant limitation to the human right of access to drinking water. In this context, the risk to humans from exposure to heavy metals and arsenic in water from rivers subject to mining influence in the Central Andes of Peru was assessed. Water samples were collected from seven rivers at 63 sampling sites, and concentrations of Cu, Fe, Pb, Zn, and As were determined using flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Cluster analysis was used to group 21 sampling sites into four groups with similar chemical characteristics, and principal component analysis was used to simplify the complex relationship between the toxic elements by generating two main components with a total percentage of variation of 86%. Fe, Zn, and As had higher percentages of contribution in the Mantaro, Cunas, and Chia rivers. The hazard quotient was highest for children and adults. The hazard index for ingestion of all the studied heavy metals and As was higher than the threshold value (HIing > 1). HIing in 43% of the rivers indicated that the adult population is at risk of non-carcinogenic effects, and HIing in 14% of the rivers revealed a very high health risk. The risk of cancer by ingestion for children varied from medium to high risk and for adults from low to high risk.

Published: July 2020

the purpose of this study is to examine the emergence of modernism as a cultural response to the conditions of modernity to change the way people live, work and react to the world around them. In this regard, the following tasks were formulated: 1) study the development of modernism on the world stage, 2) identify its universal features, and 3) analyze how the independence of Central and sub-Saharan Africa in the 1950s and 1960s coincided with a particularly bright period of modernist architecture in the region, when many young countries studied and asserted their identity in art. The article analyzes several objects of modernist architecture in Africa: urban development projects in Casablanca (Morocco), Asmara (Eritrea), Ngambo (Tanzania). The main features and characteristics of modernism which were manifested in the African architecture of the XX century are also formulated. It is concluded that African modernism is developed in line with the international modernist trend. It is also summarized that modernism which differs from previous artistic styles and turned out to be a radical revolution in art is their natural successor.
TOLERANCIA DE SORGO PARA GRANO A DOS HERBICIDAS
Authors: Rosales-Robles Enrique , Sánchez-de-la-Cruz Ricardo , Rodríguez-del-Bosque Luis A.
Published: July 2020

En el norte de Tamaulipas, México, la fitotoxicidad causada por los herbicidas en sorgo (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench.) es un problema común debido a las épocas y dosis de aplicación inapropiadas. Dicha fitotoxicidad afecta el crecimiento del cultivo y en ocasiones reduce su rendimiento. De 2006 al 2008 se evaluó en campo la respuesta de cuatro híbridos de sorgo (‘P-82G63’, ‘RB-Patrón’ , ‘DK-54’ y ‘Ámbar’) a la aplicación de dos herbicidas (prosulfuron y 2,4-D) en dos dosis (de etiqueta, 1X: prosulfuron 22.8 g i.a. ha-1 y 2,4-D 720 g i.a. ha-1; y una sobredosis de 50 %, 1.5X) en dos etapas fenológicas (V5, 5 hojas liguladas; y V8, 8 hojas liguladas). No se encontraron diferencias entre los genotipos a los tratamientos de herbicidas, pero sí entre dosis y herbicidas. Prosulfuron a 1X aplicado en V5 sólo causó una fitotoxicidad leve de 6 % que redujo la altura del cultivo, fitotoxicidad que subió a un máximo de 19 % con la dosis 1.5X en la etapa V8, pero en ningún caso afectó el rendimiento. El herbicida 2,4-D aplicado en plantas en las etapas V5 y V8 con las dosis 1X y 1.5X causó una fitotoxicidad significativa de 12 a 24 % y redujo el rendimiento de 12 a 16 %, porque provocó disminución del número de granos por panoja. Por ello debe evitarse la aplicación de 2,4-D al sorgo en estas condiciones. En sorgo, el prosulfuron es un herbicida más conveniente que el 2,4-D porque causa menor fitotoxicidad.

Debido al cambio climático se esperaría que en los próximos años el hábitat de Pinus hartweggii Lindl. disminuya drásticamente. Por ello conviene establecer estrategias de conservación que disminuyan o contrarresten los efectos del cambio climático, y el primer paso consiste en conocer la variación adaptativa de la especie, así como las fuerzas evolutivas que la han moldeado. Con el propósito de conocer las fuerzas evolutivas que actúan sobre las poblaciones de P. hartweggii se comparó el patrón de variación genética mediante rasgos (caracteres) cuantitativos e isoenzimas, en 12 poblaciones naturales distribuidas altitudinalmente en Michoacán, México, a través de la estimación de los estadísticos QST y FST. Aunque se encontró diferenciación genética significativa entre poblaciones, tanto para los rasgos cuantitativos como para las isoenzimas, en la mayoría de los rasgos cuantitativos existió un pronunciado patrón de variación clinal asociado con la elevación, pero no en las isoenzimas. El valor promedio de QST (0.200) fue superior al de FST (0.127), aunque los intervalos de confianza indican que no hay diferencia significativa entre ellos. Los resultados indican que la selección natural, impuesta por el gradiente ambiental altitudinal, está actuando en los rasgos cuantitativos, mientras que en las isoenzimas están actuando otras fuerzas evolutivas como la deriva genética y el flujo génico. La similitud de valores de QST y FST puede atribuirse a la acción conjunta de la selección natural y la deriva genética.

Published: July 2020

El aluminio (Al3+) es uno de los mayores factores limitantes de la producción agrícola en suelos ácidos con pH menor a 5 en las regiones tropicales del mundo. El arroz (Oryza sativa L.) ha mostrado ser tolerante a este factor de estrés, con respuestas diferenciales entre genotipos. Se evaluó el efecto de tres niveles de Al (0, 200 y 400 μM AlCl3 6H2O) en la solución nutritiva sobre la concentración foliar de micronutrimentos (Cu, Fe, Mn y Zn) y longitud de raíz en cuatro genotipos de arroz (‘Huimanguillo’, ‘Koshihikari’, ‘Temporalero’ y ‘Tres Ríos’), en condiciones de invernadero, en un experimento factorial. La interacción de los factores evaluados (variedad x concentración de Al) mostró efectos significativos en la concentración de los cuatro nutrimentos y en la longitud de raíz. En general, a medida que se aumentó la concentración de Al en la solución nutritiva, hubo un aumentó en las concentraciones de Cu y Fe en todas las variedades, mientras que las concentraciones de Mn y Zn disminuyeron. La mayor disminución de las concentraciones nutrimentales se observó en las variedades ‘Huimanguillo’, ‘Koshihikari’ y ‘Tres Ríos’, en tanto que la variedad ‘Temporalero’ resultó menos afectada. Respecto a la longitud de raíz, los mayores niveles de Al en solución redujeron significativamente a esta variable, y las variedades más afectadas fueron ‘Temporalero’ y ‘Tres Ríos’. Se concluye que el Al afecta diferencialmente los genotipos de arroz evaluados, y que este metal muestra sinergismo con Cu y Fe, y antagonismo con Mn y Zn.

El cultivo en sustrato favorece el crecimiento y rendimiento de los cultivos; sin embargo, esto depende de sus características y del requerimiento del cultivo. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue estudiar algunos sustratos de la región de Nayarit, México, formados por tezontle y por la mezcla de tezontle con lombricomposta (bagazo de caña (Saccharum officinarum), hueso de mango (Mangifera indica), estiércol de bovino) regados con la solución nutritiva de Steiner a concentraciones de 25, 50 y 75 % (diluciones). Se midió el contenido nutrimental en tejido, crecimiento y rendimiento de chile serrano (Capsicum annuum L.) bajo invernadero. Los tratamientos se formaron con un arreglo factorial 3 x 2 que correspondieron a tres diluciones y dos sustratos; se utilizó un diseño experimental completamente al azar con ocho repeticiones. Los sustratos se caracterizaron física y químicamente. Las variables evaluadas fueron diámetro de tallo, número de ramificaciones, biomasa seca de planta, rendimiento de fruto y la concentración de N, P, K, Ca y Mg foliar. Con excepción del rendimiento de fruto, todas las variables se midieron a los 40 y 80 d después del trasplante. Los resultados mostraron que la dilución a 75 % incrementó el crecimiento, rendimiento de fruto, así como la concentración de N, Ca y Mg en tejido foliar, cuyos valores se ubicaron en el rango de suficiencia, a excepción de P y Ca. El sustrato tezontle/lombricomposta produjo el mayor crecimiento de la planta, así como la concentración de P y Mg en el tejido foliar, pero el rendimiento de fruto fue similar al obtenido en el sustrato tezontle.

Improving a research culture in educational psychology to value transparency over novelty takes establishing new norms, grassroots advocacy, and top-down leadership
Authors: Mellor David Thomas
Published: July 2020

Many scientific disciplines are in the midst of reproducibility crisis. The cumulative harm of many seemingly modest sins are adding up to a diminished confidence in disturbingly large areas of research. These practices, which are enabled by a default towards opacity and by valuing statistical significance, impact, or novelty, undermine our credibility as a community that is expected to act in accordance with scientific ideals. Changing this reality can no longer be in the hands of the idealistic or privileged few, but must be the focus of every stakeholder in the scientific community. The field of educational psychology is well positioned to act toward this goal. This change is possible, and will transform the reproducibility crisis into a credibility revolution. It will take specific actions by both grassroots groups to build communities of practice plus the leadership of policy makers who can set standards for evaluating articles, grants, and hiring packets. These improved standards must ensure that transparency, rigor, and credibility are valued above novelty, impact, and incredibility. Grassroots groups advocate for change, share experience, and become an opportunity to create trainings so that the next generation of educational psychology researchers have the experience needed to sustain these early moves. We can take inspiration from other communities that have made shifts toward better practices, and can specifically prepare for this new world by modeling constructive evaluations of such open practices as those that take place through badging initiatives. These instances provide opportunities for emulating trail-blazers, training for new practices such as preregistration, and constructively evaluating or criticizing practice in ways that advances the reputation of all involved.

Extreme hydrological situations constantly disturb the earth activities and life, to envisage such extreme activities we need a system that alarms well on time and recognized the expected danger; to prepare such systems one must have knowledge of the significant factors that are actively responsible for such extreme situations and we should have a reliable statistical technique that helps to prepare a useful model for such systems. In this paper we investigate the historical data of peak flood from several gauging stations of river Jhelum in Kashmir, India. A reliable estimation technique (L-moment) is applied for parametric estimation of the probability distributions and a reliable testing techniques are used to check the accuracy of fitting of the distribution, in additional to that L-moment ratio diagram (LMRD) is used to impart information about fitting of distribution. Log Pearsons-III distribution shows better results and satisfies tests of distribution fitting, same probability distribution is globally accepted for flood forecasting.

The objective of this proposed system is to stay clean and to cover all urban areas of Indian cities. In existing waste collection systems, there is no proper planning for waste collection due to certain problems that make the city unsanitary. The work which consists in cleaning the trash cans is not responsible and which aggravates the system in the event of emergency, an appropriate monitoring is compulsory to keep the city clean and green. Only the manual waste collection system is available. There are no automatic or technological systems. This proposed system is designed for efficient waste collection using the Internet of Things. The system uses a cloud-based monitoring system for monitoring waste. With the use of a cloud-based system, there is no need to regularly check the bins. The proposed model has dustbins contain Arduino based sensing and monitoring system which gives the information about the levels of filling of dustbins and locations. Whenever any dustbin is filled up, a message is sent to the concerned central station where regularly monitoring the levels and positions of dustbins is to be done. This station monitors all the dustbin levels and gives the directions of collecting the garbage by sending message to the garbage collectors and authority. This will avoid overflow of waste in the bin. A prototype of proposed system to be designed as per the consideration of all problems in garbage collection process and by this the proposal makes the city towards a smart city. That fulfils the goals of Swachhbharat.

In today's world, new virtualization technologies have become popular like container-based virtualization technologies due to its nature like lightweight, scalability, and flexibility. Kubernetes is the most popular open-source platform for container-based cluster management systems that provide mechanisms for deploying, maintaining, and scaling containerized applications across a cluster of hosts. KOPS is a Kubernetes Operations for attempting at simplifying complex installation and maintenance processes of the Kubernetes cluster. Kops helps in deploying highly available Kubernetes cluster, make installation secure, easy, and automatable applications on the AWS cloud. The rapid increase of cloud-native applications has taken cloud computing to the next level, but there are several issues in the deployment of automatable applications, and also complexity increases due to this. Nevertheless, there are still issues to be solved, such as cluster monitoring and cluster deployment automation. The goal of this paper is to deploy a containerized application onto a Kubernetes cluster using KOPS on cloud providers like AWS. This paper discusses how the Kubernetes cluster is deployed on the cloud service provider like AWS cloud using Kops which is the best tool for deploying Kubernetes cluster on AWS and also the Kubernetes services available today on cloud providers like AWS cloud and examines what they offer in comparison with other cloud providers like Google(GKE), Azure(AKE), and also the security issues in AWS cloud provider.

Mobile software development is an emerging technology. The aim of working on this technology is to make it user-friendly and improve the user experience. This paper focuses on the advancing technology - Progressive Web Apps (PWAs). These apps combine the experience of both native and web applications. Progressive web apps are cross-platform developed which means that the app should function both on Android and iOS platform. While web/hybrid/native apps are costly to build, PWAs are way cheaper to build. These apps provide far better user experience than the conventional native/web/hybrid mobile applications. The service worker is the foundation of a PWA. Service Worker enables caching of assets and controls the network traffic. Manifest file lets the app to be installed on the user’s device. Different caching techniques are discussed in the paper and their performance has been monitored. The performance of the Progressive Web App is analyzed using Blazemeter as Remarkable growth has been seen in the performance of several business platforms after the implementation of progressive web apps. This paper assesses: (1). The difference in features of Native/Mobile Web/ Hybrid Web Mobile with PWAs, (2). Performance Analysis of the caching techniques in PWAs.

A mobile ad hoc network is a dynamic network which can be established when there is no possibility or if it is practically impossible to establish a standard cellular infrastructure for communication. It is a form of decentralized wireless network where nodes are independent of each other and operate on their own. Every node is free to move in and out of the network as and when needed. This also introduces many concerns about security of data being forwarded through these nodes as there is no fixed dedicated mechanism to verify the authenticity of the nodes that join and leave the network at varied times. As MANET is a multi-hop network, data should be forwarded through many intermediate nodes, before it actually arrives at the intended destination. So data on transit through these intermediate nodes should be protected from any malicious nodes. Different protocols were proposed in literature that address the security concerns of routing considering varying parameters. This paper illustrates a hybrid routing protocol, SDSR Secure Dynamic Source Routing Protocol which takes the recommendations of neighbour nodes to judge about node’s authenticity and uses that information to calculate the trust value of a node. Using trust values of nodes, malicious nodes are identified and those nodes are excluded from data transmission path between the source and destination. The performance of SDSR is also evaluated in terms of efficiency parameters like Packet Delivery Ratio, Packet Loss, Communication Overhead, Throughput etc., and results are presented. This protocol can also be compared with existing routing protocols proposed for MANETS in terms of various quality of service parameters.
