description: Mit der weltweiten Verbreitung des Cloud Computing sind Cloud-Anbieter täglich mit Fragen konfrontiert wie z.B., wo die virtuellen Server eines Kunden platziert werden sollen und welche Dienste an einem bestimmten Standort angeboten werden sollen. Dienste sollten sich in der Nähe der Kundenanfragen befinden, damit die Netzbelastung gering ist und eine zufriedenstellende Benutzererfahrung geboten wird. Gleichzeitig ist die Änderung der Standorte von Diensten mit Kosten für die Migration/Einrichtung virtueller Maschinen verbunden. Darüber hinaus sind künftige Anfragen von Kunden in der Regel unbekannt, so dass Algorithmen zur kosteneffizienten und dynamischen Verwaltung von Diensten erforderlich sind. Das obige Szenario wurde in der theoretischen Informatik unter dem Begriff Ressourcenallokation ausgiebig erforscht. Die klassischen Modelle betrachten jedoch nur eine Art von Dienst, während die Realität heterogen ist, d.h. Cloud-Anbieter verwalten mehrere, unterschiedliche Dienste. Daher wird in der folgenden Arbeit der Einfluss heterogener Ressourcen auf die Leistung von Online-Algorithmen für Ressourcenallokationsprobleme untersucht, indem wir Güter zum Modellieren von Diensten einführen. Wir betrachten drei fundamentale klassische Modelle - das Page Migration Problem, das Facility Location Problem und das k-Server Problem. In jedem Modell erlauben wir den Ressourcen das Anbieten verschiedener Güter, präsentieren untere Schranken für die Kompetitivität und entwickeln und analysieren Algorithmen.
description: With the rise of cloud computing worldwide, cloud providers are confronted with questions such as "Where to place virtual servers of a client?" and "Which services to provide at a location?" every day. Services should be close to clients requests for a low network load and a satisfying experience for the clients. Simultaneously, changing the locations of services implies costs for migrating and deploying virtual machines. Further, future requests of clients are usually unknown, which requires algorithms to manage services cost-efficiently and dynamically. The above scenario has extensively been researched in theoretical computer science under the term resource allocation. However, classical models consider only one kind of service, while the reality is heterogeneous, i.e., cloud providers manage multiple different services. Therefore, the following thesis studies the influence of heterogeneous resources on the performance of online algorithms for resource allocation problems by introducing commodities modeling services. We consider three fundamental classical models - the page migration problem, the facility location problem, and the k-server problem. In each model, we allow resources to offer different commodities, present lower bounds on the competitive ratio, and design and analyze algorithms.

description: In this paper we introduce an optimized Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) technique for solving the integer least-squares (ILS) problems, which include Maximum Likelihood (ML) detection in Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems. Two factors contribute to the speed of finding the optimal solution by the MCMC detector: the probability of the optimal solution in the stationary distribution, and the mixing time of the MCMC detector. Firstly, we compute the optimal value of the "temperature" parameter, in the sense that the temperature has the desirable property that once the Markov chain has mixed to its stationary distribution, there is polynomially small probability ($1/\mbox{poly}(N)$, instead of exponentially small) of encountering the optimal solution. This temperature is shown to be at most $O(\sqrt{SNR}/\ln(N))$, where $SNR$ is the signal-to-noise ratio, and $N$ is the problem dimension. Secondly, we study the mixing time of the underlying Markov chain of the proposed MCMC detector. We find that, the mixing time of MCMC is closely related to whether there is a local minimum in the lattice structures of ILS problems. For some lattices without local minima, the mixing time of the Markov chain is independent of $SNR$, and grows polynomially in the problem dimension; for lattices with local minima, the mixing time grows unboundedly as $SNR$ grows, when the temperature is set, as in conventional wisdom, to be the standard deviation of noises. Our results suggest that, to ensure fast mixing for a fixed dimension $N$, the temperature for MCMC should instead be set as $Ω(\sqrt{SNR})$ in general. Simulation results show that the optimized MCMC detector efficiently achieves approximately ML detection in MIMO systems having a huge number of transmit and receive dimensions.

description: Recent work in the literature has argued that the joint effect of spacetime curvature and the Gribov ambiguity may introduce further modifications to the Green functions in the infrared. This paper focuses on a simple criterion for studying the effect of spacetime curvature on the size of the Gribov region, improving the accuracy of the previous analysis. It is shown that, depending on the sign of the scalar and Riemann curvature, the Gribov horizon moves inward or, instead, outward with respect to the case of flat spacetime. This is made clear by two novel inequalities here derived for the first time.

description: The demand for telecommunication services and diversity of traffic patterns has been growing at a fast pace over the years. In spite of this, the profitability of the industry has been on the decline. This has resulted in the industry looking at solutions like virtualization, resource sharing and business model restructure among others. At the same time, the fifth generation (5G) network is being designed to cater for industrial growth, while also introducing changes that ease implementation of the identified solutions, e.g., decoupling of the control and user plane. This paper looks at some of the proposed technologies and concepts that enable the implementation of these solutions which include, cloudification, software defined networks, network function virtualization, network slicing and edge networks etc. The paper further proposes an architecture, called the sub-sliced dvCloud 5G architecture, composed of these technologies and concepts. Hence, the paper identifies that the successful consolidation of these technologies and concepts depends on their coherent management and orchestration (MANO). Thereafter, the paper focuses on the design of a MANO system for edge and core 5G networks using the composed sub-sliced dvCloud NG 5G architecture.

description: Social networks are an important infrastructure for information, viruses and innovations propagation. Since users behavior has influenced by other users activity, some groups of people would be made regard to similarity of users interests. On the other hand, dealing with many events in real worlds, can be justified in social networks; spreading disease is one instance of them. People manner and infection severity are more important parameters in dissemination of diseases. Both of these reasons derive, whether the diffusion leads to an epidemic or not. SIRS is a hybrid model of SIR and SIS disease models to spread contamination. A person in this model can be returned to susceptible state after it removed. According to communities which are established on the social network, we use the compartmental type of SIRS model. During this paper, a general compartmental information diffusion model would be proposed and extracted some of the beneficial parameters to analyze our model. To adapt our model to realistic behaviors, we use Markovian model, which would be helpful to create a stochastic manner of the proposed model. In the case of random model, we can calculate probabilities of transaction between states and predicting value of each state. The comparison between two mode of the model shows that, the prediction of population would be verified in each state.

description: Valid ideas that physical reality is vastly larger than human perception of it, and that the perceived part may not be representative of the whole, exist on many levels and have a long history. After a brief general inventory of those ideas and their implications, I consider the cosmological "multiverse" much discussed in recent scientific literature. I review its theoretical and (broadly) empirical motivations, and its disruptive implications for the traditional program of fundamental physics. I discuss the inflationary axion cosmology, which provides an example where firmly rooted, plausible ideas from microphysics lead to a well-characterized "mini-multiverse" scenario, with testable phenomenological consequences.

description: Buckwheat is a pseudo-cereal and a traditional crop that can be grown successfully and sustainably even on poorer soils. In the past, buckwheat saved many people in Slovenia from hunger and gave bread to many small farms, as evidenced by the records of natural historian and polymath Janez Vajkard Valvasor from the 17th century. This publication contains a complex description of buckwheat genetic resources from different gene banks and geographical areas of origin identified within the Horizon 2020 project ECOBREED. Different plant descriptors were used to evaluate the collection of genetic resources of common (Fagopyrum esculentum) and Tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum). Using predefined descriptors (IPGRI, UPOV) for Fagopyrum spp. and photographic material, a total of 239 genetic resources of buckwheat were characterized and described for the first time. The book is aimed at a wide range of interested readers, from farmers and students to breeders and researchers, who can familiarise themselves with the collected heritage of buckwheat preserved in European gene banks for future generations. The publication is dedicated to all those who have been or are working in the field of plant genetic resources to preserve them for posterity and thus ensure the preservation of natural and cultural heritage both in Slovenia and worldwide.

and ravel times. Thermal comfort for the passengers inside the carriage is influenced by

external and internal loads.

The thermal environment when the passenger train travel from Dire dawa to Addis Ababa is

hot that affect the driver's and passengers' health, performance and comfort. Due to spatial

and temporal variation of state variables and boundary conditions in the vehicle cab, the

description: This dissertation analyzes the pricing, exposures as well as information content of options. It aims to fill research gaps in the existing options-literature in the research fields of volatility-related pricing, option-exposures as well as option-implied information. It consists of three main chapters each of which is based on an individual study. The first study (Chapter 2), A New Look at the Cross-Section of Option Returns and Volatility, analyzes the relationship between the low-volatility effect and the expensiveness effect in stock options. Building on intermediary asset pricing theory, we hypothesise a linkage between the two volatility-related patterns that is based on market maker positions and market imperfections. The results show that the low-volatility effect is present in high-expensiveness options whereas the expensiveness effect increases with volatility. These findings cannot be explained by market inefficiencies or times of crisis. The study highlights the importance of market makers in options markets, the role of volatility in option pricing and offers benefits for investors as the effects cannot be explained by common risk factors. The second study (Chapter 3), Exposures of Delta-Hedged Option Portfolios, analyzes the exposures of delta-hedged option portfolios to different risks and firm characteristics. The results show that these option portfolios have exposure to volatility, skewness, kurtosis as well as volatility and skewness uncertainty which are mainly driven by idiosyncratic risks. Further, delta-hedged option portfolios also have exposure to most but not all firm characteristics. An analysis of the triangular relationship between delta-hedged option returns, stock return moments and firm characteristics shows that the exposure to firm characteristics is especially informative when the stock return moments indicate low risk. This suggests that firm characteristics hold additional information about the riskiness of the underlying and can be interpreted as alternative risk measures. The third study (Chapter 4), A Tale of Two Crises Told by Options, analyzes and compares the Global Financial Crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic using option-implied information. Because option prices contain information about the conditional expected return distribution of the underlying (the risk-neutral density), they are particularly suited for analyses of crises. Our results show both fundamental differences and important similarities of the two crises. Additionally, the use of risk-neutral densities allows us to analyze reactions to significant events during each crisis and to ask whether the markets have entered a new regime after the systemic shock of the crises.

description: We extend our previous studies on phase IV of solid hydrogen by employing larger cells and k-sampling. We show that uncorrelated hexagonal rotations in the weakly bounded G"-layers are needed to account for the experimentally measured Raman spectrum. In large simulations we find no evidence of proton diffusion or layer fluctuations, which we believe are the result of finite size effects. In calculations at higher pressures (above 400 GPa) we identify a new possible candidate for phase IV. We, finally, proposed a revised phase diagram based on our previous and present results.

description: Recordings from neurons in the insects' olfactory primary processing center, the antennal lobe (AL), reveal that the AL is able to process the input from chemical receptors into distinct neural activity patterns, called olfactory neural codes. These exciting results show the importance of neural codes and their relation to perception. The next challenge is to \emph{model the dynamics} of neural codes. In our study, we perform multichannel recordings from the projection neurons in the AL driven by different odorants. We then derive a neural network from the electrophysiological data. The network consists of lateral-inhibitory neurons and excitatory neurons, and is capable of producing unique olfactory neural codes for the tested odorants. Specifically, we (i) design a projection, an odor space, for the neural recording from the AL, which discriminates between distinct odorants trajectories (ii) characterize scent recognition, i.e., decision-making based on olfactory signals and (iii) infer the wiring of the neural circuit, the connectome of the AL. We show that the constructed model is consistent with biological observations, such as contrast enhancement and robustness to noise. The study answers a key biological question in identifying how lateral inhibitory neurons can be wired to excitatory neurons to permit robust activity patterns.

A pesar de que los individuos fundadores seleccionados para realizar la reintroducción formaban parte del Programa Europeo de Cría en Cautividad de la especie y muchos autores no recomiendan el uso de estos animales como stock fundador en este tipo de proyectos por su escaso potencial evolutivo (descienden de poblaciones donde la variabilidad genética es muy pequeña) y manifestar con frecuencia los efectos de la depresión consanguínea (baja productividad de las hembras, elevada mortalidad de juveniles, …), la gacela del Atlas no se ajusta a estos patrones. Análisis genéticos, tanto cuantitativos como moleculares, han demostrado que en esta especie la variabilidad genética estimada sobre la base de su registro de pedigrí (studbook) está lejos de ser la que demuestra el análisis del genoma completo de la especie. Además, a lo largo de la historia del programa de cría en cautividad de la especie (casi 50 años) se ha producido un fenómeno de purga génica que ha eliminado alelos deletéreos de la población.

Approached in two phases (reintroduction in acclimatisation enclosures in 2016, and subsequent release into the wild in 2019), this conference presents those research results the project was based on. Although the founding individuals selected for reintroduction were part of the European Captive Breeding Programme for the species and many authors do not recommend their use as founders in this type of project (they have low evolutionary potential show inbreeding depression (low productivity of females, high mortality of juveniles, etc.), the Atlas gazelle does not fit these patterns. Genetic analyses, both quantitative and molecular, have shown that in this species the genetic variability estimated based on its pedigree (studbook) is far from that derived from the analysis of the whole genome of the species. In addition, throughout the history of the captive breeding programme of the species (almost 50 years) genetic purging has occurred eliminating deleterious alleles from the population.

description: In movement analysis, correlated random walk (CRW) models often use so-called turning angles, which are measured relative to the previous movement direction. To segregate between different movement modes, hidden Markov models (HMMs) describe movements as piecewise stationary CRWs in which the distributions of turning angles and step sizes depend on the underlying state. This typically allows for the segregation of movement modes that show different movement speeds.  We show that in some cases, it may be interesting to investigate absolute angles, i.e., biased random walks (BRWs) instead of turning angles. In particular, while discrimination between states in the turning angle setting can only rely on movement speed, models with absolute angles can be used to discriminate between sections of different movement directions. A preprocessing algorithm is provided that enables the analysis of absolute angles in the existing R package moveHMM. In a data set of movements of cell organelles, models using not the turning angle but the absolute angle could capture interesting additional properties. Goodness of fit was increased for HMMs with absolute angles, and HMMs with absolute angles tended to choose a higher number of states, suggesting the existence and relevance of prominent directional changes in the present data set. These results suggest that models with absolute angles can provide important information in the analysis of movement patterns if the existence and frequency of directional changes is of biological importance.

description: We present data on sexual systems and associated traits in the New Zealand angiosperm flora and discuss reasons for the anomalously high levels of gender dimorphism in the flora, and the low levels of monoecy in woody species. Along with Hawai'i and New Caledonia, New Zealand has exceptionally high levels of gender dimorphism (19.5% of angiosperm species). The plant traits associated with gender dimorphism (woody growth, small, unspecialised white to yellow-green flowers, abiotic pollination, fleshy fruit) are the same as those in other regions and most gender dimorphic species belong to lineages that were already gender dimorphic on arrival in New Zealand. We attribute the high levels of gender dimorphism to several distinct factors. New Zealand’s evergreen forests have many small trees and understorey shrubs with fleshy fruit and small, open, inconspicuous flowers, a combination characterised by high levels of gender dimorphism elsewhere. Many of these species belong to lineages that migrated from the tropical north, a region with high levels of gender dimorphism. In comparison with many other regions, the New Zealand angiosperm flora has few annuals, and few plants with large, specialised flowers or pollinated by birds, traits elsewhere associated with exceedingly low levels of gender dimorphism. Finally, chance may have played a role through the association of gender dimorphism with rapidly radiating lineages. While the New Zealand angiosperm flora has similar levels of monoecy (14.2%) to other comparable regions, monoecy is exceptionally uncommon in the tree flora (3.4% for strictly monoecious species). However, the endemic Nothofagaceae and introduced woody monoecious species thrive in New Zealand. We suggest it is the lack of temperate sources for monoecious tree species, combined with the difficulty large-fruited monoecious tropical species have in crossing ocean gaps that may be ultimate reason for their failure to establish in greater numbers.

description: Estimates of ocean ${\rm CO}_2$ uptake from global ocean biogeochemistry models and ${\rm p{CO}}_2$-based data-products differ substantially, especially in high latitudes and in the trend of the ${\rm CO}_2$ uptake since 2000. Here, we assess the effect of data sparsity on two ${\rm p{CO}}_2$-based estimates by subsampling output from a global ocean biogeochemistry model. The estimates of the ocean ${\rm CO}_2$ uptake are improved from a sampling scheme that mimics present-day sampling to an ideal sampling scheme with 1000 evenly distributed sites. In particular, insufficient sampling has given rise to strong biases in the trend of the ocean carbon sink in the ${\rm p{CO}}_2$ products. The overestimation of the ${\rm CO}_2$ flux trend by 20–35% globally and 50–130% in the Southern Ocean with the present-day sampling is reduced to less than $15\% $ with the ideal sampling scheme. A substantial overestimation of the decadal variability of the Southern Ocean carbon sink occurs in one product and appears related to a skewed data distribution in ${\rm p{CO}}_2$ space. With the ideal sampling, the bias in the mean ${\rm CO}_2$ flux is reduced from 9–12% to 2–9% globally and from 14–26% to 5–17% in the Southern Ocean. On top of that, discrepancies of about $0.4\, {\rm PgC\, yr}^{-1}$ (15%) persist due to uncertainties in the gas-exchange calculation.This article is part of a discussion meeting ‘Heat and carbon uptake in the Southern Ocean: the state of the art and future priorities’.

description: The periodic time modulations, found recently in the two-body orbital electron-capture (EC) decay of both, hydrogen-like $^{140}$Pr$^{58+}$ and $^{142}$Pm$^{60+}$ ions, with periods near to 7s and amplitudes of about 20%, were re-investigated for the case of $^{142}$Pm$^{60+}$ by using a 245 MHz resonator cavity with a much improved sensitivity and time resolution. We observed that the exponential EC decay is modulated with a period $T = 7.11(11)$s, in accordance with a modulation period $T = 7.12(11)$ s as obtained from simultaneous observations with a capacitive pick-up, employed also in the previous experiments. The modulation amplitudes amount to $a_R = 0.107(24)$ and $a_P = 0.134(27)$ for the 245 MHz resonator and the capacitive pick-up, respectively. These new results corroborate for both detectors {\it exactly} our previous findings of modulation periods near to 7s, though with {\it distinctly smaller} amplitudes. Also the three-body $β^+$ decays have been analyzed. For a supposed modulation period near to 7s we found an amplitude $a = 0.027(27)$, compatible with $a = 0$ and in agreement with the preliminary result $a = 0.030(30)$ of our previous experiment. These observations could point at weak interaction as origin of the observed 7s-modulation of the EC decay. Furthermore, the data suggest that interference terms occur in the two-body EC decay, although the neutrinos are not directly observed.

description: The World Health Organization (WHO) has set a goal of ensuring healthy lives and promotion of well-being for all at all ages (Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3) by the year 2030. This goal can be achieved by reducing morbidity and mortality through remote vital signs monitoring and management. Therefore, through the adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) Communication in the monitoring and management of these vital signs, a lot of ground can be covered in ensuring healthy lives and achieving SDG #3. This paper discusses a solution that automates the transmission, monitoring, and management of vital signs data thereby offering a platform for proactive response to the effects of disease. This work, through the use of standards-compliant M2M middleware and open-source software, has developed an initial prototype to demonstrate the viability of such an implementation.

description: We used angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy to investigate the electronic structure of EuFe$_2$As$_2$, EuFe$_2$As$_{1.4}$P$_{0.6}$ and EuFe$_2$P$_2$. We observed doubled core level peaks associated to the pnictide atoms, which are related to a surface state. Nevertheless, strong electronic dispersion along the $c$ axis, especially pronounced in EuFe$_2$P$_2$, is observed for at less one band, thus indicated that the Fe states, albeit probably affected at the surface, do not form pure two-dimensional surface states. However, this latter material shows reduced spectral weight near the Fermi level as compared to EuFe$_2$As$_2$ and EuFe$_2$As$_{1.4}$P$_{0.6}$. An anomalous jump is also found in the electronic states associated with the Eu$^{2+}$ $f$ states in EuFe$_2$P$_2$.

description: It is well known that the irreducible discrimination of polynomials, like the discrimination of prime numbers, is the most fundamental and important problem in mathematics, for more than 100 years there has been little significant progress in the irreducible discrimination of polynomials,this article innovatively defines two basic operations, which are more basic operations compared to +, -, ×, ÷. By applying these new operations and their properties, we can obtain some sufficient conditions for the judgment of irreducible polynomials, which provides a new and more effective method.

description: As mentioned by Simone De Liberato [arXiv:1307.5615], when we suppose the metallic thin mirror and perform the renormalization additionally to the approach starting from the frequently-used system-environment coupling Hamiltonian, we can certainly resolve the discrepancy of its result from that obtained by the reliable approach in the main discussion of our paper [Phys. Rev. A 88, 013814 (2013), arXiv:1301.3960]. Although the suggested approach is currently applicable to the specific situation after checking its validity by our reliable but cumbersome approach, we instead propose to start from the system-environment coupling Hamiltonian determined properly by the mechanism of the confinement and loss of the cavity fields. This approach is applicable to any cavity structures in principle, and we do not face the renormalization problem appearing in the comment.
