Analysis and development of new queue draining mechanisms for IEEE 802 standards-based bridged real-time ethernet networks
Creators: name: Boiger, Christian

description: One of the major trends in current times is the fast growing number of interconnections between smart electronic devices. Such interconnections between devices impose more stringent specification requirements on the underlying communication networks. Often these growing requirements result in an increase of the required network bandwidth; furthermore, the emerging real-time applications’ demands on network latency time specifications are growing. However, these requirements on network latency time cannot always be solved with an increase of bandwidth.
In the past, the standard IEEE Std 802.1Q based Ethernet networks, without any special additions, offered a best effort type of service for networked electronic devices. The only supported prioritization mechanism was strict priority. Strict priority follows the simple concept ’highest priority first’. Such a mechanism is not capable of providing latency guarantees in converged Ethernet networks that are required by many applications. Furthermore, the ’highest priority first’ scheme is beneficial in networks with a small amount of high priority traffic, but it is not suitable for net?works with a high amount of high priority traffic.
Audio Video Bridging (AVB) was the first approach of the IEEE 802.1 Working Group to add a real-time mechanism to standard IEEE 802.1 bridging for high bandwidth streams with a defined upper bound of latency. This is the starting point of this research work. The resulting achievable worst-case latency time is analysed and compared with defined goals for industrial and automotive Ethernet network specifications. In order to perform an in-depth analysis of the latency timing, a latency simulator is created, which allows for a graphical analysis of the different occurring latency components.
Based on this analysis, new mechanisms are developed, investigated and analysed in order to achieve the best latency requirements for automotive and industrial applications using bridged real-time Ethernet networks. This includes queue draining mechanisms to reduce the interference between low and high priority traffic as well as the interference between different high priority traffic streams. One essential component required by these mechanisms is time synchronization. Hence the impact of networks using these mechanisms, especially time synchronization, on automotive measurement and development tools is investigated. In addition it is shown how a time-aware end station, which is necessary to apply these mechanisms, can be built.

description: Two kinds of topological excitations, skyrmions and monopoles, are studied. It is revealed that these two types of excitations originate from different order parameter fields that reflect different spatial distributions of the Neel vector. Critical phenomena of the generation and annihilation of skyrmion-antiskyrmion pairs are also discussed.

description: Household debt can be an important source of vulnerability to the financial system. This technical report describes the Household Risk Assessment Model (HRAM) that has been developed at the Bank of Canada to stress test household balance sheets at the individual level. In addition to stress testing, HRAM is flexible enough to analyze the effects of a variety of shocks (such as an increase in mortgage rates) and changes to policy, including both monetary policy and macroprudential regulation. The model’s strength is its ability to exploit information from survey microdata on the distribution of debt, assets and income across Canadian households.
description: La dette des ménages peut constituer une importante source de vulnérabilité pour le système financier. Le présent rapport technique se propose de décrire le modèle d’évaluation des risques dans le secteur des ménages (modèle HRAM) conçu par la Banque du Canada pour tester, au niveau microéconomique, la capacité de résistance des bilans des ménages. Le modèle HRAM offre en outre la souplesse nécessaire pour permettre l’analyse des effets de chocs divers (tels qu’une hausse des taux hypothécaires) et de l’évolution des politiques publiques, tant la politique monétaire que la réglementation macroprudentielle. Le modèle se distingue par sa capacité à exploiter le contenu informatif de microdonnées d’enquête utilisées pour établir la distribution des dettes, des actifs et des revenus des ménages canadiens.
How accurately can the Extended Thomas-Fermi method describe the inner crust of a neutron star?

description: We perform a systematic comparison between the results obtained by solving fully self-consistently the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov equations, and those obtained using the semi-classical Extended Thomas-Fermi method, for various Wigner-Seitz cells within the inner crust of a neutron star. The lack of pairing correlations in the semi-classical approach leads to a large discrepancy between the two approaches. This discrepancy is well beyond the error of the quantum-mechanical calculation, and is related to spurious shell effects in the neutron gas.

description: We present the prospects of an angular analysis of the $Λ_b \to Λ(1520)\ell^+\ell^-$ decay. Using the expected yield in the current dataset collected at the LHCb experiment, as well as the foreseen ones after the LHCb upgrades, sensitivity studies are presented to determine the experimental precision on angular observables related to the lepton distribution and their potential to identify New Physics. The forward-backward lepton asymmetry at low dilepton invariant mass is particularly promising. NP scenarios favoured by the current anomalies in $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ decays can be distinguished from the SM case with the data collected between the Run 3 and the Upgrade 2 of the LHCb experiment.

description: The majority of rented farmland is owned by landlords who do not operate farms, and a subset of these landlords, known as absent landlords, do not reside in the local farming area. This raises important questions about their effects on the economic health of the U.S. farm sector. Absent landlords have the potential to alter observed outcomes in agricultural real estate markets, rural employment markets, and engagement in conservation practices, given that the incentives they face may differ from operating or local nonoperator landlords. This study looks at the association between landlord absenteeism and multiple measures of long-term economic and agricultural health for the 25 most important agricultural States by cash receipts. We find that a greater prevalence of absent landlords is associated with lower rental rates and land values at the State level, and there is no association with recent changes in rents or land values. Also, while we find mixed results with respect to investments in soil quality, we do find evidence that the prevalence of absent landlords is associated with declining local employment rates. This study is designed to foster a broad discussion and form a starting point for subsequent statistical analyses to uncover the causal effects that absent landlords have on long-term economic health of agricultural production.

description: Finland is considered a country with a good track record in gender equality. Whilst statistics support the notion that Finland is performing well compared to many other countries in terms of workplace equality, there are still many areas for improvement. This paper focuses on the problems that some women face in obtaining software engineering roles. We report a preliminary analysis of survey data from 252 respondents. These are mainly women who have shown an interest in gaining programming roles by joining the Mimmit koodaa initiative, which aims to increase equality and diversity within the software industry. The survey sought to understand what early experiences may influence later career choices and feelings of efficacy and confidence needed to pursue technology-related careers. These initial findings reveal that women's feelings of computing self-efficacy and attitudes towards software engineering are shaped by early experiences. More negative experiences decrease the likelihood of working in software engineering roles in the future, despite expressing an interest in the field.

description: Intensive small-scale farming can be one of the better avenues for agricultural development in the Caribbean area. These farm operations can be targeted to local consumption to replace imported goods or for export to major markets, in either case there is an increase in the available foreign exchange to the country. Other benefits also accrue due to this type of enterprise. Employment is enhanced although most of the gain is indirect. There are many different approaches that can be taken to initiate a greenhouse operation. First, a feasibility study has to be undertaken which includes markets, capital acquisition, costs, projections of returns, governmental incentives and local involvement. There are worldwide and other governmental agencies that can be tapped for help in the development and implementation of a greenhouse operation. This is a description of a fictitious (but real) greenhouse enterprise and the approaches used to enable the company to start production in the Caribbean area.

description: Testing of confectionery (non-oilseed) sunflower cultivars between 1978 and 1980 in north-central Florida on droughty sandy soils permitted the agronomic characterization of 22 cultivars. These striped, large-seeded varieties are used for confection either in the shell or shelled, salted or unsalted or as bird feed, usually in the shell. Testing was performed at two locations and plantings were made in February, March, April, and Augsut. The data show that sunflower could be added to the crops used in the multiple or relay systems of crop culture common in this area. The chief obstacle to successful sunflower culture in this area is the Alternaria leaf and stem black spot disease caused by the fungus Alternaria helianthi (Hansf.) Tubaki and Nishihara. The first epiphytotic of this disease to occur in the USA was in these and adjacent plots near Gainesville, Alachua County, Florida. Meteorological data including monthly rainfall, growing degree days (GDD) calculated from monthly maximum and minimum temperatures, and total radiation and photosynthetically active radiation are shown tubularly for 1978-1980.
The Problem of the Coconut Mite, Eriophyes guerreronis (Keifer), in the Coconut Groves of Trinidad and Tobago

description: The coconut mite, Eriophyes guerreronis Keifer, Eriophyidae, is now a serious coconut pest of the Caribbean and Latin America. It causes a range of damage to the coconut fruit from scarring and early fruit-fall, to fruit distortion and fruit-stunting. Losses in eopra often reach a 60% level due to the reduction in fruit size. The mite lives under the calyx of the coconut fruit, which it infests at the flower stage, and persists there until several weeks after the mature fruit fall to the ground. Only in Brazil is the mite known to affect developing coconut seedlings in the field. Mites which become exposed on the surface of the maturing fruit are easily dispersed by the wind to female flowers in the dry season or become washed off by the rains during the wet season as dissemination becomes restricted. The epidemic is therefore oriented towards dry conditions with cool, windy nights. Successful control measures employ the injection of the infested tree trunk with 50 to 100 ml vamidothion ("Kilval"), a phosphorus ester with systemic properties, towards the end of the wet season when the mite population is lowest. The permanent reduction of the epidemic is related to the organization of farmer control programmes which integrate unfavorable climatic conditions with effective chemical control.

description: Heavy-ion collisions at BNL's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and CERN's Large Hadron Collider provide strong evidence for the formation of a quark-gluon plasma, with temperatures extracted from relativistic viscous hydrodynamic simulations shown to be well above the transition temperature from hadron matter. How the strongly correlated quark-gluon matter forms in a heavy-ion collision, its properties off-equilibrium, and the thermalization process in the plasma, are outstanding problems in QCD. We review here the theoretical progress in this field in weak coupling QCD effective field theories and in strong coupling holographic approaches based on gauge-gravity duality. We outline the interdisciplinary connections of different stages of the thermalization process to non-equilibrium dynamics in other systems across energy scales ranging from inflationary cosmology, to strong field QED, to ultracold atomic gases, with emphasis on the universal dynamics of non-thermal and of hydrodynamic attractors. We survey measurements in heavy-ion collisions that are sensitive to the early non-equilibrium stages of the collision and discuss the potential for future measurements. We summarize the current state-of-the art in thermalization studies and identify promising avenues for further progress.

description: Technology and the fruition of cultural heritage are becoming increasingly more entwined, especially with the advent of smart audio guides, virtual and augmented reality, and interactive installations. Machine learning and computer vision are important components of this ongoing integration, enabling new interaction modalities between user and museum. Nonetheless, the most frequent way of interacting with paintings and statues still remains taking pictures. Yet images alone can only convey the aesthetics of the artwork, lacking is information which is often required to fully understand and appreciate it. Usually this additional knowledge comes both from the artwork itself (and therefore the image depicting it) and from an external source of knowledge, such as an information sheet. While the former can be inferred by computer vision algorithms, the latter needs more structured data to pair visual content with relevant information. Regardless of its source, this information still must be be effectively transmitted to the user. A popular emerging trend in computer vision is Visual Question Answering (VQA), in which users can interact with a neural network by posing questions in natural language and receiving answers about the visual content. We believe that this will be the evolution of smart audio guides for museum visits and simple image browsing on personal smartphones. This will turn the classic audio guide into a smart personal instructor with which the visitor can interact by asking for explanations focused on specific interests. The advantages are twofold: on the one hand the cognitive burden of the visitor will decrease, limiting the flow of information to what the user actually wants to hear; and on the other hand it proposes the most natural way of interacting with a guide, favoring engagement.

description: An extended Drude model, termed as the Gurzhi model, which takes into account the electron-phonon and electron-electron interactions, is applied to calculate the Casimir force between two metallic plates. It is shown that although the dielectric permittivity of the Gurzhi model has a first order pole in the upper half-plane of complex frequencies and, thus, violates the causality principle, it can be used in a restricted frequency interval in combination with the experimental permittivity determined by the optical data for the complex index of refraction. The imaginary part of the Gurzhi dielectric permittivity of Au at low frequencies demonstrates better agreement with the permittivity given by the optical data than the simple Drude model. The Casimir pressure between two Au plates is computed using the Gurzhi, Drude and plasma model approaches, taking into account the optical data, as well as with the simple Drude and plasma models. The contribution of the electron-electron scattering to the Casimir pressure is estimated. Although a comparison with the measurement data of two precise experiments show that the Gurzhi model does not resolve the Casimir puzzle, the obtained results suggest further clarification of this fundamental problem.

description: Lattice studies of spontaneous supersymmetry breaking suffer from a sign problem that in principle can be evaded through novel methods enabled by quantum computing. Focusing on lower-dimensional lattice systems with more modest resource requirements, in particular the N=1 Wess--Zumino model in 1+1 dimensions, we are exploring ways quantum computing could be used to study spontaneous supersymmetry breaking. A particularly promising recent development is to apply the variational quantum deflation algorithm, which generalizes the variational quantum eigensolver so as to resolve multiple low-energy states.

description: With the advent of the Internet and Internet-connected devices, modern business applications can experience rapid increases as well as variability in transactional workloads. Database replication has been employed to scale performance and improve availability of relational databases but past approaches have suffered from various issues including limited scalability, performance versus consistency tradeoffs, and requirements for database or application modifications. This paper presents Hihooi, a replication-based middleware system that is able to achieve workload scalability, strong consistency guarantees, and elasticity for existing transactional databases at a low cost. A novel replication algorithm enables Hihooi to propagate database modifications asynchronously to all replicas at high speeds, while ensuring that all replicas are consistent. At the same time, a fine-grained routing algorithm is used to load balance incoming transactions to available replicas in a consistent way. Our thorough experimental evaluation with several well-established benchmarks shows how Hihooi is able to achieve almost linear workload scalability for transactional databases.

description: Die Motivation treibt uns an unsere Ziele zu erreichen. Ohne sie wird in unserem Leben kaum etwas passieren. In der Schule spielt Motivation eine wichtige Rolle beim Lernen und hat einen Zusammenhang mit der Leistung.
 In dieser Arbeit geht es um die aktuelle Motivation der Schülerinnen und Schüler und wie die Motivation mithilfe des Lerntagebuches und durch die Selbstbestimmung gefördert werden kann. Beobachtungen im Unterricht und die Durchführung des Projektes haben zwei elementare Bausteine gezeigt: Die Schülerinnen und Schüler machen besser mit, wenn sie selber über ihre Lernziele und Lerninhalte entscheiden dürfen. Ein Lerntagebuch bringt Struktur in den Lernprozess, muss aber von den Lehrpersonen richtig eingeführt werden.
 Die vorliegende Masterarbeit zeigt auf, wie die Motivation durch ein Lerntagebuch und durch die Selbstbestimmung gefördert werden kann. Die Motivation wird durch die Lern- und Leistungsmotivationstests SELLMO untersucht und zusätzlich wird die aktuelle Motivation durch einen FAM Test während dem Projekt erforscht. Mithilfe des Lerntagebuches, der Selbstbestimmung, der Tests, sowie der dokumentierten Beobachtungen konnte gezeigt werden, dass die Motivation gesteigert werden kann, wenn die Schülerinnen und Schüler sich autonom und kompetent im Mathematikunterricht erleben dürfen.

description: Numerical and experimental evidence is presented to show that many phase synchronized systems of non-identical chaotic oscillators, where the chaotic state is reached through a period-doubling cascade, show rapid convergence of the time-averaged frequency. The speed of convergence toward the natural frequency scales as the inverse of the measurement period. The results also suggest an explanation for why such chaotic oscillators can be phase synchronized.

description: The evolution of tetragonality with thickness has been probed in epitaxial c-axis oriented PbTiO3 films with thicknesses ranging from 500 down to 24 Angstroms. High resolution x-ray pointed out a systematic decrease of the c-axis lattice parameter with decreasing film thickness below 200 Angstroms. Using a first-principles model Hamiltonian approach, the decrease in tetragonality is related to a reduction of the polarization attributed to the presence of a residual unscreened depolarizing field. It is shown that films below 50 Angstroms display a significantly reduced polarization but still remain ferroelectric.

description: The worldwide spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has become a threatening risk for global public health. It is of great importance to rapidly and accurately screen patients with COVID-19 from community acquired pneumonia (CAP). In this study, a total of 1658 patients with COVID-19 and 1027 patients of CAP underwent thin-section CT. All images were preprocessed to obtain the segmentations of both infections and lung fields, which were used to extract location-specific features. An infection Size Aware Random Forest method (iSARF) was proposed, in which subjects were automated categorized into groups with different ranges of infected lesion sizes, followed by random forests in each group for classification. Experimental results show that the proposed method yielded sensitivity of 0.907, specificity of 0.833, and accuracy of 0.879 under five-fold cross-validation. Large performance margins against comparison methods were achieved especially for the cases with infection size in the medium range, from 0.01% to 10%. The further inclusion of Radiomics features show slightly improvement. It is anticipated that our proposed framework could assist clinical decision making.

description: Small farmers in the East Caribbean spend about 30% of total crop labour on land preparation, and another 30% on post-planting weed control depending on the cropping system. Methods rely largely on hand labour, using cutlasses, hoes, forks and hand pulling of weeds. The only herbicide used in any quantity is paraquat. Constraints to the adoption of improved technologies include cash availability, the practice of mixed- or inter-cropping, and the complexity of many farm systems. Many herbicides are susceptible to rain, and their species spectrum is often limited. A holistic approach is necessary to ensure integration of weed control into the entire cropping system. Guidelines for the design of improved weed control systems are discussed and CARDI's programme in weed control in the FSR/D project is outlined.
title: The effect of temperature and soil water on Fusarium seedling blight of winter wheat and its effective control by fungicide seed treatments

description: Seed-borne Microdochium nivale adversely affected seed imbibition and germination to a greater extent at low temperatures (5°C) and low soil water potentials (-1 MPa). Post-emergent seedling blight severity was related to rate of seedling emergence. and adversely affected first leaf lengths.

In vitro base temperatures for growth of M. nivale var. majus isolates were lower than for M. nivale var. nivale isolates, however var. majus isolates had a faster growth rate, Microdochium nivale DNA from seed-borne infection, in seeds and seedlings, was not substantially increased at growth stage (GS) 01 or GS 10 at low temperatures or reduced soil water contents.

Timing, duration and harshness of freezing significantly affected seedling blight severity from seed-borne M. nivale infection. Pre-emergent exposure to -5°C more severely reduced final emergence than exposure to 0 °C. Post-emergent freezing had less severe effects on seedling blight severity. Carboxin + thiram seed treatment increased final emergence and reduced seedling blight severity under conditions involving exposure to freezing temperatures.

Seed-borne M. nivale caused foot rot disease, even in the absence of seedling blight symptoms. Seedling blight severity adversely affected subsequent plant growth and was related to the extent of stem colonisation. Carboxin + thiram seed treatment reduced foot rot disease incidence and stem colonisation from seed-borne M. nivale in pot trials and increased plant productivity.

Soil water content and soil temperature between drilling and 30 days post-drilling, had significant effects on plant emergence from M. nivale diseased and pathogen-free seeds in field trials. Poor emergence occurred from seedlots with high seed-borne. M. nivale infection in all three years of field trials and also in one year for a seedlot with low seed-borne M. nivale infection and low seed vigour.

Fungicide seed treatments provided robust control of M. nivale seedling blight under a range of seedbed conditions. Soil water content and soil temperature at drilling and up to 30 days after drilling were important determinants of emergence from treated seeds. Carboxin + thiram was the most effective seed treatment under all seed bed conditions.

description: Competition for land and scarce capital resources within island economies requires that fish culture operations oriented toward small farmers be labor intensive. The use of simple culture systems or agricultural by-products and manures as feedstuffs, and integration with other farming activities is most appropriate for part time farmers or those with small land holdings. The livelihoods of artisinal fishermen, the seagoing analogues of small farmers, are threatened by declining productivity of the shallow water reeffish fishery combined with escalations in fuel and other operating costs. Enforceable reef management strategies, the introduction of new working and coastal aquaculture projects can revitalize the local fisheries. A farmer-oriented approach to aquaculture research and development in the region as well as a continuous and comprehensive review of the biotechnical, socio-economic, and political factors important in the transfer of aquaculture technology is necessary for effective project implementation. In addition, island governments must actively display the political will which gives priority to small farmer development

description: Recent experimental evidence has implicated a planthopper, Myndus crudus Van Duzee, as the vector of lethal yellowing (LY). It may be inferred from experimental results that chemical control of LY would not be practical on small coconut farms. The fact that the immature forms of M. crudus utilize grasses as hosts may be a key to controlling this insect. The potential use of ground covers that are unattractive to M. crudus is discussed.

description: We study the propagation of classical electromagnetic waves on the simplest four-dimensional spherically symmetric metric with a dilaton background field. Solutions to the relevant equations are obtained perturbatively in a parameter which measures the strength of the dilaton field (hence parameterizes the departure from Schwarzschild geometry). The loss of energy from outgoing modes is estimated as a back-scattering process against the dilaton background, which would affect the luminosity of stars with a dilaton field. The radiation emitted by a freely falling point-like source on such a background is also studied by analytical and numerical methods.
