Published: April 2019

The Object Request Broker (ORB) manages the interaction between clients and servers using the Internet InterORB Protocol (IIOP). The ORB trace file comprises of messages, trace points, and wire tracing. These trace files are usually large and at times they can grow to 1-2 GBs. For debugging an ORB problem, the developer must determine whether the problem is in the client or in the server of the distributed application. Typically during debugging process, developer have to switch between source codes and trace logs back and forth multiple times. Often browsing the right source code file, opening it in the IDE and then moving to the line from where the trace is originated. This work proposes a tool which will help developers and service engineers to browse through source code and corresponding trace by providing integrated framework. The Aim of the tool is to build an application to parse and analyse ORB trace files. The application will fetch relevant details for the failing entries, and will perform the preliminary analysis. In this way a lot of time and human effort can be saved. The customers such as defense, military organizations can themselves view relevant details about the failures of their application by this tool, without having to compromise on confidentiality with minimal effort and time.Â Â
An Approach to Estimate the Outstanding Loss Reserve of the Non-Life Insurer Under Solvency- II Regime
Authors: Mohd Ilyas Ashiq , Rajasekaran S 
Published: April 2019

This paper studies the reserve risk estimation requirement under the Solvency-II regime that came into effect in the European insurance sector in January 2016. In particular, it shows how the outstanding loss of a non-life insurer can be estimated under this regime. This regime totally replaces the traditional approaches of providing standard deviations of the liabilities over their full run-off. The requirement under this regime is that each risk shall be calibrated using a value-at-risk measure with 99.5 percentile confidence level over a single period. In connection with this, a bootstrap framework is used to estimate the uncertainty of loss reserve over the single period time horizon. Two process distributions are used namely Over-dispersed Poisson and Gamma in two separate bootstraps to estimate the uncertainty of loss reserve. Further, a comparison is established in the estimated results and it is found that Over-dispersed Poisson process distribution produces lower prediction errors than the gamma process distribution.Â Â

A ring ofÂ type 12(Ø®Â³,Ø®Â´)"> , was introduced by Albert and Kokoris [1,3] where in they have shown that a simple ring of 12(Ø®Â³,Ø®Â´)"> Â type is either associative or contains no idempotent other than 1. In this paper we obtain further results on the residual cases, to prove that a nonassociative (-1,1) rings satisfying (x, x, y)2 = 0, for all elements of the rings imply (x, x, y) = 0. But then indeed (-1,1) rings which have no nilpotent elements are associative and there by all such rings are division rings.Â Â

Fractional Calculus and Fuzzy Rule Based Filter for Despeckling the Medical Images
Authors: P Nageswari , S Rajan , K Manivel 
Published: April 2019

Medical ultrasound imaging plays an important role in diagnosis of various complicated disorders. But, these ultrasound images are intrinsically degraded with speckle noise which harshly affects the image visual qualities and essential particulars. Hence, denoising is an unavoidable process in medical image processing.Â In this paper, a new despeckling technique is presented for denoising the medical ultrasound images by employing fuzzy technique on co-efficient of variation and fractional order integration filter. The proposed technique has two steps. During first step, the noisy image pixels are classified into three regions by using fuzzy technique on co-efficient of variation and consequently, the proposed technique adaptively employs appropriate filters on the grouped pixels to reduce noise in the ultrasound image. In the second step, to obtain an effective denoising image, the fractional order integration filter is applied on the resulting image of step 1. The performance of the proposed technique is tested on various medical images in terms of Peak signal to noise ratio and speckle suppression index quality measures. Experimental results reveal that the proposed despeckling technique can efficiently reduce the speckle noise, protect the edges and preserves any other important structural details of an image. It is suggested that the proposed technique is employed as a preprocessing tool for medical image analysis and diagnosis.Â

A Simple and Efficient Method to Fabricate Graphene 2D Nanomaterial into a thin Film to Serve as a Saturable a bsorber for Fiber Laser Application
Authors: I. Hammadi Yousif , S. Mansour Tahreer 
Published: April 2019

A passively pulsed fiber laser using saturable absorbers such as graphene has been increased dramatically in recent years. Up to now, researchers have been proposed many methods to fabricate graphene saturable absorber such as (evanescent coupling structure, electrochemical exfoliation, and mechanical exfoliation) for light pulse generation in a fiber laser. However, each of these methods has got some limitations which reduce the saturable absorber performance and restrict its range of applications. In this paper, we propose a simple but very efficient fabrication way of graphene saturable absorber by converting graphene Nano powder into a thin film using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a host material. The fabricated film can then be easily sandwiched between two fiber pigtails and inserted inside the laser cavity to form the saturable absorber. when compared with other methods, this method is much preferable because it provides saturable absorber with combat structure, maximum interaction area, reasonable insertion loss, polarization insensitive, controllable concentration, and safe to handle. The fabricated graphene saturable absorber in this paper was characterized and found to have a uniform distribution of the graphene nanomaterial in the PVA and have a modulation depth of 6.1% which make it a very promising saturable absorber for ultra-fast fiber laser demonstration.Â Â
