Abstract
Cloud Computing plays a momentous role for the speedy computation and provides resources to the user on-demand. The conventional single cloud has assorted number of confrontations and they are named as vendor lock-in, resource un-availability, latency, etc. To resolve these conflicts, multi cloud computing is utilized to provide heterogeneous services to the cloud users on demand. Task scheduling is a mechanism used to assign user requests to the cloud server. The proposed PIMTSA algorithm works well for the independent batch of tasks in the static environment. The algorithm is constituted to miniaturize the makespan of the multi cloud systems. It is designed for the batch mode offline multi cloud systems. The priority based approach works to cater the needs of the cloud user. High priority and low priority tasks are the two different priority levels defined by the user. High priority tasks are given more importance and are executed in the high speed VM with minimum completion time. But, the High priority tasks with maximum execution time are given more priority. After the execution of the high priority tasks, the low priority tasks with minimum execution time are allocated to VMs with minimum completion time in the clouds. This algorithm provides a high reliable and scalable computing service to the user with minimum time. In future this work can be extended for dynamic multi cloud environment.

Abstract
Dyslexia is the most widely recognized neurological learning disability. It causes trouble in perusing, composing and spelling. All these can influence scholastic achievement, confidence, and social-emotional development. As roughly 10% of the individuals worldwide are dyslexic, it is a worry of numerous youngsters and grown-ups far and wide. Figuring out how to help the lives of a dyslexic would be of incredible advantage to entire social orders. Studies have demonstrated that the earlier dyslexia is recognized and backing is given in education and training, the more its negative impacts can be alleviated. Subsequently, building up a solid and target screening technique to analyze dyslexia at an early age would be of most extreme significance.

AbstractLarge-scale crop yield estimation is critical for understanding the dynamics of global food security. Understanding and quantifying the temporal cumulative effect of crop growth and spatial variances across different regions remains challenging for large-scale crop yield estimation. In this study, a deep spatial-temporal learning framework, named DeepCropNet (DCN), has been developed to hierarchically capture the features for county-level corn yield estimation. The temporal features are learned by an attention-based long short-term memory network and the spatial features are learned by the multi-task learning (MTL) output layers. The DCN model has been applied to quantify the relationship between meteorological factors and the county-level corn yield in the US Corn Belt from 1981 to 2016. Three meteorological factors, including growing degree days, killing degree days, and precipitation, are used as time-series inputs. The results show that DCN provides an improved estimation accuracy (RMSE = 0.82 Mg ha−1) as compared to that of conventional methods such as LASSO (RMSE = 1.14 Mg ha−1) and Random Forest (RMSE = 1.05 Mg ha−1). Temporally, the attention values computed from the temporal learning module indicate that DCN captures the temporal cumulative effect and this temporal pattern is consistent across all states. Spatially, the spatial learning module improves the estimation accuracy based on the regional specific features captured by the MTL mechanism. The study highlights that the DCN model provides a promising spatial-temporal learning framework for corn yield estimation under changing meteorological conditions across large spatial regions.
ENSO-driven reverse coupling in interannual variability of pantropical water availability and global atmospheric CO2 growth rate
Authors: Zhang Anzhi , Jia Gensuo 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
The large interannual variability of global atmospheric CO2 growth rate originates primarily from variation in carbon dioxide (CO2) uptake of pantropical terrestrial ecosystems, which covaries with the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) modulated climate fluctuations of water availability and temperature change. However, the role of ENSO in modulating the contributions of regional to overall water availability interannual variability, and the phase and strength of water availability-CO2 coupling remain poorly constrained across functionally diverse pantropical terrestrial ecosystems. Using satellite microwave and ground water availability and well-mixed global atmospheric CO2 concentration observations, the coupling in interannual variability of water availability-CO2 and their relationship with ENSO was investigated from 1998 to 2016. The results demonstrated causal sequence of ENSO, water availability, and global atmospheric CO2 growth rate, the phase and magnitude of water availability-CO2 coupling was primarily determined by phase and strength of correlation between ENSO and water availability, revealing ENSO-driven robust and reverse coupling of water availability-CO2. Moreover, tropical rainforests, savannas, and shrublands dominated the pantropical water availability variations and showed stronger coupling strength. Therefore, the strong interannual variability of atmospheric CO2 growth rate originates from ENSO-driven frequent variations of water availability and the subsequently concurrent carbon uptake over pantropical rainforests, savannas, and shrublands. The findings provided new insights to understand and predict interannual variability of water availability and CO2 growth rate based on ENSO and its predictability.

Published: January 2020

Abstract
There is no doubt that the tourism sector has become one of the major contributors to development and considered as agent of change for many parts of the world. The strengths of tourism (or community based rural tourism, CBRT in this context) are described in various forms; as a tool in economic and physical development and as means to enhance the social and human capital development and conservation of natural environment. In rural areas especially in developing countries, tourism development had been eagerly embraced as a panacea for revitalising the rural economy, hence many government agencies, particularly tourism-related bodies, have also invested heavily to promote more sustainable forms of community-based tourism in rural areas. Under normal situation i.e. where CBRT is operated outside disaster prone areas or with notion of less considerations on reducing disaster risk in operating a tourism business, CBRT might flourish in rural areas, and in return would be able to secure local job creation, stable income generation, curbing outmigration among youths and workers, protecting natural resources and local culture, etc. As for CBRT programmes which are operating in disaster-prone areas, their operators might not share similar opinions as they have to cope with different issues and challenges, which in this context, challenges in generating sufficient income for sustaining their operation and also in reducing disaster risk and potential losses to their business. This paper will discuss possible challenges in sustaining CBRT programmes in disaster-prone areas based on the findings from data analysis of a case study of homestay operators in Mesilou Village in Sabah, Malaysia, particularly after the 2015 earthquake.
Staying Afloat: Operating Tourism in Disaster-Prone Areas of Mesilou, Sabah

Abstract
Multi-hazards and disasters affect our lives greatly and therefore it become everyone’s business. Every time disaster hit a community, it left substantial damages to physical and nonphysical components (particularly economic and social aspects) that shaped our livelihood. From the community-based rural tourism (CBRT) point of view, disaster occurrences often led to significant decrease to destination image and reputation, increase fear of safety, damaging infrastructure and agriculture land. These led to the declining of tourist arrivals which affect income generation and revenue from tourism to the community. Failure to acknowledge these direct and indirect effects might weaken the tourism community’s capacity in coping with future disasters. Based on previous studies on CBRT in disaster-prone areas, researchers have uncovered unique cases whereby some rural communities that operates tourism as a vital income are able to raise above adversity and become resilient. In this light, a tourism community in Mesilou Village in Sabah, Malaysia is selected as a case study. This community was badly affected by 6.0-magnitude earthquake that hit Kota Belud in June 2015. At the time, a study of the post-earthquake has been conducted by a group of researchers from UTM in October 2015 and discovered that Mesilou had about 20 homestay operators. For nearly six months after the earthquake, the majority of CBRT operators were affected with high booking cancellation, damages of infrastructure (main road, bridges), disruption of water and electricity supplies and local transportation which hindered tourists from coming to their village. In October 2018, an impact study had been conducted by the same researchers from UTM and found that CBRT in Mesilou not only recovered from the disaster, but remarkably has been booming since then. This is evident from the survey which indicated a growing number of homestays from 20 full time operators (until 2015) to 40 homestays by October 2018. Two general conclusions can be made from the result of data analysis; (1) disaster did not deter the tourists from visiting Mesilou after the earthquake; (2) the CBRT operators pose strong social, economic and environmental capitals to “bounce back” from adversity and rebuilt the community prior to the disasters. This paper will discuss the lessons learned from CBRT operators in Mesilou regarding business recovery and resiliency prior to disaster.

Abstract
This paper introduces the special feature of cultural heritage documentation; conservation and society entitled “The Importance of Cultural Heritage Conservation in Society”. The Netherlands Indies Government developed a cultural heritage in 1778 after establishment of Bataviaasch Genootschapvan Kunsten en Wetenschappen and De Outdheidkundige Diest at 1913 – 1928 in Lampung Region. Cultural heritage draw from a theory based in living system, developing strategies both for adopting impact and mitigation those threats by sustaining building and natural environment. Cities like Bandar Lampung are high complex living organism and are subjects to continue transformation produced by the requirement that vary from multi-ethnic of community, the political, economical, cultural and above all changing climate factored. All of factors are able to maintain normative developmental task that occur at various stage of live in the future. However, the preliminary problem of developing future cities in Bandar Lampung is related to existing social condition of modern society, which threatens the existence of local social community. We must prevent the loss of cultural heritage, through conservation and coordination of counterterrorism. To overcome this shortage, we need understanding factors affecting issue, including neighbourhood characteristic such as socio economic factor, residential pattern, social value, and stressful life events and insufficient resources. This paper investigate paradigm the role of cultural heritage conservation in society and become an important approach in develop innovation in both architecture and urban design. With present paper we aim to increase the awareness of learning cultural diversity form cultural heritage conservation and re interpreting them in establishment of urban system strategies for future cities.

Published: January 2020

Abstract
Rivers were places where civilizations arose and aided the foundations of their economic fortunes. However, most urban rivers have today been abused and undervalued, and thus little conserved or re-opened up to celebrate these waterways. Malaysia is one of a number of countries whom have witnessed the former. In 2011, the River of Life (RoL) Entry Points Projects (EPP) was introduced to address this issue aimed towards revitalizing the Klang River into a heritage riverscape and a reinvigorated linear commercial centre for Greater Kuala Lumpur and the Klang Valley (GKL/KV). This paper discusses the heritage fabric at the confluence of the Klang and Gombak Rivers in portraying and narrating the importance of these rivers to the cultural identity of this precinct. Recognising these qualities will result in highlighting the cultural heritage values that need to be considered in recognizing this riverscape as a National Heritage asset. This paper also explored the historical and potential elements of the urban river in Malaysia through the mix method approach (Convergent Parallel). Research data was obtained from Malaysian authorities, using a top-down approach, through interview and visitor participant questionnaires to obtain convergence and divergence perceptions and patterns between these two sources of data. Data obtained sought to elucidate the cultural identity of this urban riverscape and its fabric from the perspective of both official participants perceived responsibilities and the interpretation of the riverscape from local respondent perspectives. The results of data from both participant types is crucial in offering new viewpoints towards a new to better adapt the government’s visions and visitor expectation about the future of this riverscape. This information could better enhance the tourism aspects of this area that has been highlighted as ‘National Key Economic Area (NKEA) 06: Tourism’, and to foster the integration of cultural heritage in an urban setting.

Published: January 2020

Abstract
Historic buildings which are the remains of the Dutch Colonial period from the glorious past era still exist in some cities in Indonesia. These buildings can be easily recognized from their typical architectural style in which a mixture of European architecture adjusted to the country’s tropical climate known as Indische Architecture. The style is obvious in parts of the cities in which the Dutch carried out their activities such as districts for offices, trading centres, housing complexes as well as recreational areas. One colonial building in Bandung infamously implementing the style is The Centrum. The building which originally functioned as a recreational vicinity was built in 1920s. Designed by C.P. Wolff Schoemaker, it served as swimming pool or bathhouse where the people of Dutch residing in or visiting the city spent their leisure time. The Centrum, of which facilities the Indonesian in the colonial period were prohibited to even used, has become a cultural heritage landmark located in historic military base. A cultural heritage should be conserved to preserve the valuable generation-to-generation history, and one of the favoured ways to do it is adaptive re-use, or reusing of existing building as part of the concept of sustainable architecture. This paper discusses adaptive re-use implemented in The Centrum building, which has undergone the process of function shifting from swimming pool to restaurant and wedding venue, and lastly to selfie spot. Using qualitative approach along with comparative descriptive method, the study applies the theory of adaptive re-use to investigate the changes in function of The Centrum from period to period. It is found that the function shifts of The Centrum from time to time is the result of situational adjustment to the change of its owner/user, architectural needs as well as current trends such as selfie tourism.

Published: January 2020

Abstract
Public space act like a living spaces of the cities where people gather to socialize, communicate with each other and where urban activities being carried out. It defined the character of the city and play important role to connect people to the city. Comfortable and accessible public spaces lead to vitality and livability to the city. Lack of the maintenance and attention to public spaces could reduce the comfort level and livability to the city. United Nations Convention emphasized that the people with disability have the same rights to access the public spaces, where World Health Organization declare that about 10% of world population are disabled. The eight years war between Iran and Iraq had increased disability rate among the citizens. Tehran as capital of Iran and the most populous city in Iran need to improve facilities and accessibility in order to support the need of the people with disability to live actively in the society. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the need of urban public space for people with disability in Tehran. Among the identified obstacles for people with disability in Tehran are related to lack of application of Universal Design (UD) elements on the urban spaces and public facilities. This study is based on applied theory and quantitative method for evaluating satisfaction of people with disability. This research focused on two type of disability group, visual impairment and wheelchair users. One of the city district in Tehran is chosen as a case study. The findings of this study obtain will be analyses to provide UD solutions in urban public spaces for them.
