An Optimize-Aware Target Tracking Method with Combine MAC layer and Active Nodes in Wireless Sensor Networks

Subjects: subject: Networking and Internet Architecture (cs.NI)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Wireless Sensor Network WSN is consisted of nodes with different sizes and a specific goal. Tracking applications are very important in WSNs. This study proposes a method for reducing energy consumption in WSNs, considering target tracking. A prediction method is also presented with the help of MAC Medium Access Control layer in which a few number of nodes are in active mode to track the target while the rest of the nodes are switched into sleeping mode. Energy consumption was reduced by decreasing the number of nodes involved in target tracking and activating merely a limited number of necessary nodes. The conducted experiments suggest that the proposed algorithm has a much better performance compared to similar algorithms in different conditions, including energy consumption in different communication ranges, effect of the number of nodes on energy consumption, the number of nodes involved in tracking in terms of communication range, and losing the target. This means the proposed method is superior and more efficient. When the target enters the simulation area, nodes of the network identify the target node through the proposed method (which is the optimum method) and track it as long as it is inside the simulation area. Performance criteria, including energy, other nodes, and throughput were used in simulation. The results showed that the proposed method has the optimum performance and reduces energy consumption of the network during tracking. The results of the simulation showed that the proposed method reduces energy consumption to an acceptable extent, compared to previous methods, in addition to increasing the accuracy of target tracking. Keywords: Active nodes, MAC layer, Energy efficiency, Target tracking, Wireless sensor networks, Target tracking.

description: The future of functional foods will depend on the extent to which they are accepted by consumers. Results are presented from a questionnaire that investigated consumers’ self-reported knowledge, behavioural intentions and purchasing behaviour regarding functional foods. Findings are that two thirds of UK respondents, just less than half of Danish respondents, almost two thirds of Spanish respondents, and 88% of Polish respondents say they buy one or two functional food items per week. Between 30-55% of respondents say they understand functional foods reasonably well (UK 55%; Denmark 30%; Spain 43%; Poland 49%). A number of factors were related to respondents’ stated intention to purchase probiotics. If someone in the household had suffered food poisoning in the previous 12 months or had children living at home, respondents were more likely to consider buying functional foods to help reduce the risk of food poisoning. Respondents who have never had any formal food safety training were more likely to consider buying functional foods. Further, knowledge of the correct food sources for a number of foodborne pathogens also affected the likelihood of respondents considering buying probiotic functional foods. The findings provide up-to-date information about consumers and the developing functional foods market.

description: The relation is studied between the entanglement production and collective radiation by an ensemble of atoms. Entanglement production is quantified by means of a general measure introduced earlier by the author. Primary emphasis is placed on the entanglement generated by pseudospin density matrices. The problem of collective atomic radiation can be described by the pseudospin evolution equations. These equations define the evolutional entanglement generated by the related density matrices. Under conditions of superradiant emission, the entanglement production exhibits sharp peaks at the delay time, where the intensity of radiation is maximal. The possibility of regulating the occurrence of such peaks by punctuated superradiance is discussed, which suggests the feasibility of {\it punctuated entanglement production}.

description: Internationalization is one of the most important trends in retailing today. This process is not new, however has accelerated in the last two decades. It was less than 30 years ago that almost all of the world’s retail firms were pure national firms with a negligible share in foreign markets. That scenario has changed dramatically. Taking a look at the top 200 global retailers, almost all players except those in the US operate in numerous countries, having established a noteworthy business capacity in foreign markets. It is observed that retailers often export their business model in new markets. Therefore they are regarded as driving forces of structural change in the agri food business. The understanding of retail internationalization is essential to the understanding of the changes in the agri food business. Investigating retail internationalization many scholars builds on the theories of the wider business internationalization literature. Other authors state that retailing is unique, therefore the business theories can not be applied. By reviewing the literature we try to overcome this tension and discuss how business internationalization theories can help to understand retail internationalization.
Measurement of the $CP$-violating phase $ϕ_\mathrm{s}$ in the B$^0_\mathrm{s}$ $\to$ J$/ψ\, ϕ$(1020) $\to$ $μ^+μ^-$K$^+$K$^-$ channel in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV

description: The $CP$-violating weak phase $ϕ_\mathrm{s}$ and the decay width difference $ΔΓ_\mathrm{s}$ between the light and heavy B$^0_\mathrm{s}$ mass eigenstates are measured with the CMS detector at the LHC in a sample of 48 500 reconstructed B$^0_\mathrm{s}$ $\to$ J$/ψ\, ϕ$(1020) $\to$ $μ^+μ^-$K$^+$K$^-$ events. The measurement is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 96.4 fb$^{-1}$, collected in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV in 2017-2018. To extract the values of $ϕ_\mathrm{s}$ and $ΔΓ_\mathrm{s}$, a time-dependent and flavor-tagged angular analysis of the $μ^+μ^-$K$^+$K$^-$ final state is performed. The analysis employs a dedicated tagging trigger and a novel opposite-side muon flavor tagger based on machine learning techniques. The measurement yields $ϕ_\mathrm{s} = -$11 $\pm$ 50 (stat) $\pm$ 10 (syst) mrad and $ΔΓ_\mathrm{s} =$ 0.114 $\pm$ 0.014 (stat) $\pm$ 0.007 (syst) ps$^{-1}$, in agreement with the standard model predictions. When combined with the previous CMS measurement at $\sqrt{s} =$ 8 TeV, the following values are obtained: $ϕ_\mathrm{s} = -$21 $\pm$ 44 (stat) $\pm$ 10 (syst) mrad, $ΔΓ_\mathrm{s} =$ 0.1032 $\pm$ 0.0095 (stat) $\pm$ 0.0048 (syst) ps$^{-1}$, a significant improvement over the 8 TeV result.

description: We present a short review of our basic understanding of the physics of copper - oxide superconductors and formulate the list of "solved" and "unsolved" problems. The main problem remains theoretical description of the properties of the normal state, requiring clarification of the nature of the so called pseudogap state. We review simplified models of the pseudogap state, based on the scenario of strong electron scattering by (pseudogap) fluctuations of "dielectric" (AFM, CDW) short - range order and the concept of "hot" spots (patches) on the Fermi surface. Pseudogap fluctuations are described as appropriate static Gaussian random field scattering electrons. We derive the system of recurrence equations for the one - particle Green's function and vertex parts, taking into account all Feynman diagrams for electron scattering by pseudogap fluctuations. Results of calculations of spectral density, density of states and optical conductivity are presented, demonstrating both pseudogap and localization effects. We analyze the anomalies of superconducting state (both s- and d - wave pairing) forming on the "background" of these pseudogap fluctuations. Microscopic derivation of Ginzburg - Landau expansion allows calculations of critical temperature T_c and other basic characteristics of a superconductor, depending on the parameters of the pseudogap. We also analyze the role of "normal" (nonmagnetic) impurity scattering. It is shown that our simplified model allows semiquantitative modelling of the typical phase diagram of superconducting cuprates.

description: Recent reforms in the Common Agricultural Policy and the sugar regime caused serious concerns for the future of the European sugar industry. At the same time, the European Commission considers transportation bio-fuels as a key factor for reducing reliance on imported fuels, emission levels of greenhouse gases and to meet rural development goals. Matching the sugar sector with bio-ethanol production may create opportunities for sustainable management of the existing sugar industry infrastructure and also serve bio-fuel policy targets. A partial equilibrium economic model is used in order to evaluate the shift from sugar to bio-ethanol production in Thessaly, Greece. In the agricultural feedstock supply and industrial processing sub-models are articulated indicating optimal crop mix for farmers and the best technology configurations for industry. The joint ethanol-biogas option appears to be preferable using sugar beet and wheat, whereas capacity selected amounts at 120 kt of ethanol.

description: Phishing is considered to be one of the most prevalent cyber-attacks because of its immense flexibility and alarmingly high success rate. Even with adequate training and high situational awareness, it can still be hard for users to continually be aware of the URL of the website they are visiting. Traditional detection methods rely on blocklists and content analysis, both of which require time-consuming human verification. Thus, there have been attempts focusing on the predictive filtering of such URLs. This study aims to develop a machine-learning model to detect fraudulent URLs which can be used within the Splunk platform. Inspired from similar approaches in the literature, we trained the SVM and Random Forests algorithms using malicious and benign datasets found in the literature and one dataset that we created. We evaluated the algorithms' performance with precision and recall, reaching up to 85% precision and 87% recall in the case of Random Forests while SVM achieved up to 90% precision and 88% recall using only descriptive features.

description: Purpose: Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing (DTTC) is an evidence-based treatment for children with childhood apraxia of speech. In clinical practice, speech-language pathologists (SLPs) frequently use an eclectic approach incorporating aspects of DTTC, for reasons that are not well understood. This research note describes a qualitative investigation of the experiences of SLPs and caregivers who participated in protocolized research DTTC for a 24-session treatment efficacy study. Specifically, we sought to understand the perspectives of these SLPs and caregivers regarding (a) DTTC treatment, as provided during the study, and (b) participating in a treatment research study.Method: Four SLPs and three caregivers participated in semistructured interviews, via Zoom, 4 weeks after the treatment study. Questions explored perceptions of research DTTC treatment and experiences of participating in a research study. Data were analyzed with inductive thematic analysis using an iterative and reflective process.Results: One overarching main theme was identified: “Research and clinical practice: Different priorities and processes,” with five subthemes. The subthemes were (a) research DTTC is more challenging, (b) research DTTC is surprisingly effective, (c) clinical practice is preferable to research, (d) research participation leads to new learning, and (e) power differential exists between researchers and clinicians.Conclusions: Aspects of the research DTTC were uncomfortable for SLPs and families, despite its efficacy and what they learned from participating. SLPs perceived a schism between researchers and clinicians. More needs to be done to decrease the perceived gap between researchers and clinicians to facilitate implementation of evidence-based practice in nonresearch contexts.Supplemental Material S1.

description: In this paper we show how regime-switching vector error correction models can be used to assess the effects of food scares on price transmission along the food marketing chain. Our empirical implementation focuses on the impacts of the BSE crisis on price relationships and patterns of transmission among farm and retail markets for bovine in Spain. Monthly prices are used over the 1996-2005 period. A BSE food scare index is developed in order to measure the scale of the food scare crisis. Results suggest that the crisis affects beef producers and retailers differently. While consumer prices are not found to adjust to the crisis, producer prices do, though only when the scale of the food scare reaches certain minimum levels.

description: From the perspective that a region’s industrial development mostly builds upon existing local capability endowments to form a trajectory of related diversifications, we argue that regions with a strong technology-based knowledge-intensive business service (T-KIBS) sector potentially have resource-based relatedness in their ‘knowledge space’ allowing their local manufacturing sector to diversify production more easily towards Industry 4.0. The study assays whether the internal configuration of the local KIBS sector contributes to the economic outcome of local industry by implementing spatial econometrics models on a regionalized database for 24 European Union countries.

Fokussiert werden dabei die kindlichen Präkonzepte und Vorstellungen zu diesem Phänomen sowie die Begründungen, die die Kinder zur Lösung der Problemstellung Bau einer Brücke aus Papier vornehmen. Anknüpfend an diese Ergebnisse werden – im Sinne einer inklusiven Diagnostik – unterschiedliche Lernvoraussetzungen abgeleitet sowie die sich daraus ergebenden Anknüpfungspunkte und Erweiterungen für einen inklusiven Sachunterricht vorgestellt. Abschließend wird auf Basis der Ergebnisse diskutiert, welche Schlussfolgerungen für die Qualifizierung von Lehrkräften gezogen werden können, um so zu einem differenzierteren Verständnis inklusiver Diagnostik beitragen zu können. Abstract As part of the contribution, results from the analysis of interviews with children on the basis of a conceptual dialogue on the phenomenon of bridging stability are presented. The focus is on the childlike preconceptions and ideas about this phenomenon, as well as the reasons the children give to solve the problem of building a bridge out of paper. Based on these results – in the sense of an inclusive diagnosis – different learning prerequisites are derived and the resulting connecting point and extensions for an inclusive Sachunterricht are presented. Finally, on the basis of the results, it is discussed which conclusions can be drawn for the qualification of teachers in order to contribute to a more differentiated understanding of inclusive diagnostics.

description: In order to enhance LIDAR performance metrics such as target detection sensitivity, noise resilience and ranging accuracy, we exploit the strong temporal correlation within the photon pairs generated in continuous-wave pumped semiconductor waveguides. The enhancement attained through the use of such non-classical sources is measured and compared to a corresponding target detection scheme based on simple photon-counting detection. The performances of both schemes are quantified by the estimation uncertainty and Fisher information of the probe photon transmission, which is a widely adopted sensing figure of merit. The target detection experiments are conducted with high probe channel loss (\(\simeq 1-5\times10^{-5}\)) and formidable environment noise up to 36 dB stronger than the detected probe power of \(1.64\times 10^{-5}\) pW. The experimental result shows significant advantages offered by the enhanced scheme with up to 26.3 dB higher performance in terms of estimation uncertainty, which is equivalent to a reduction of target detection time by a factor of 430 or 146 (21.6 dB) times more resilience to noise. We also experimentally demonstrated ranging with these non-classical photon pairs generated with continuous-wave pump in the presence of strong noise and loss, achieving \(\approx\)5 cm distance resolution that is limited by the temporal resolution of the detectors.

description: Establishing CP violation in B0 (bar{B0}) --> l+ l- decays requires a measurement of polarization of the final lepton pair, or a precise determination of the B0 --> l+ l- and bar{B0} --> l+ l- rates. We first argue that if the amplitudes of these decays are dominated by the scalar and pseudoscalar Higgs penguin diagrams, as happens e.g. in supersymmetry with large tan(beta), the CP asymmetries depend practically on only one CP violating phase. This phase can be large, of the order of the CKM phase, leading to large CP asymmetries in the tau+ tau- decay channel of B0_d (bar{B0}_d) mesons, potentially measurable in BELLE or BABAR experiments. Secondly, we show that the existing TAUOLA tau-lepton decay library supplemented by its universal interface can efficiently be used to search for B0 (bar{B0}) --> tau+ tau- decays, and to investigate how the CP asymmetry is reflected in realistic experimental observables.

The targum (1954:Jan. 8 - 1954:Jan. 12)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1954

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

description: Agricultural marketing co-operatives are one among a myriad of options that farmers have to market their products, making survival of the co-operative formula to depend on its capability to compete for the farmers’ satisfaction and membership. This research uses Neoclassical Theory and Transaction Costs Theory to propose a number of antecedents of the farmers’ satisfaction with the co-operative and their intention to remain members in the long term. With data obtained from a sample of 320 producers of fruits and vegetables, members of agricultural marketing cooperatives operating in the fresh fruit and vegetable chain, the results obtained show that 1) the liquidation price is more important to predict the farmers’ satisfaction with the co-operatives than their intention to remain members; 2) transaction costs are important to explain satisfaction and to a larger degree the intention to continue the relationship with the co-operatives; and 3) that liquidation price is more effective upon satisfaction and continuity if transaction costs are lower.
Boron nitride and its combinations as processing aids in the extrusion of Ziegler-Natta polyethylenes
Creators: name: Muliawan, Edward Bud
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: It is widely known that the rate of production in many commercial polymer processing operations is limited by the appearance of flow instabilities. Flow instabilities may manifest themselves as regular distortions on the extrudate surface (sharkskin or surface melt fracture) or in the form of irregular helix distortions (gross melt fracture) at higher shear rates. Usually, polymer processing aids are used to postpone/eliminate these melt fractures. Fluoropolymer has been found to be effective in eliminating sharkskin melt fracture, but its effect in the gross melt fracture region is rather poor. Boron nitride, on the other hand, has been found not only to be effective in eliminating sharskskin melt fracture but also postpone the onset of gross melt fracture. In addition, it has also been found that the combination of fluoropolymer and boron nitride seems to enhance their performance even further. The main objective of this work is to investigate the performance of boron nitride and its combinations as polymer processing aids in the processing of Ziegler-Natta polyethylenes. A number of different polyethylene resins were tested including a variety of processing aids at various combinations and concentrations. It was found that mixing fluoropolymer in a dry form into boron nitride-compounded resin allows the synergistic effect of fluoropolymer and boron nitride to be shown. This is because separately mixing fluoropolymer and boron nitride prevents the adsorption of fluoropolymer onto the boron nitride particles. Lastly, it was observed that a relatively new processing aid, CarboGlide™, which is a proprietary mixture of boron nitride and other processing aids, is able to perform equally well as the combination of boron nitride and fluoropolymer.

description: The topological trivial band of a lattice can be driven into a topological phase by disorder in the system. This so-called topological Anderson phase has been predicted and observed for uncorrelated static disorder, while in the presence of correlated disorder conflicting results are found. Here we consider a Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) waveguide lattice in the trivial topological phase, and show that quasi-periodic disorder in the coupling constants can drive the lattice into a topological non-trivial phase. A method to detect the emergence of the topological Anderson phase, based on light dynamics at the edge of a quasi-periodic waveguide lattice, is suggested.

description: We show how to construct measures on Banach manifolds associated to supersymmetric quantum field theories. These measures are mathematically well-defined objects inspired by the formal path integrals appearing in the physics literature on quantum field theory. We give three concrete examples of our construction. The first example is a family $μ_P^{s,t}$ of measures on a space of functions on the two-torus, parametrized by a polynomial $P$ (the Wess-Zumino-Landau-Ginzburg model). The second is a family $μ_\cG^{s,t}$ of measures on a space $\cG$ of maps from $¶^1$ to a Lie group (the Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten model). Finally we study a family $μ_{M,G}^{s,t}$ of measures on the product of a space of connection s on the trivial principal bundle with structure group $G$ on a three-dimensional manifold $M$ with a space of $\fg$-valued three-forms on $M.$ We show that these measures are positive, and that the measures $μ_\cG^{s,t}$ are Borel probability measures. As an application we show that formulas arising from expectations in the measures $μ_\cG^{s,1}$ reproduce formulas discovered by Frenkel and Zhu in the theory of vertex operator algebras. We conjecture that a similar computation for the measures $μ_{M,SU(2)}^{s,t},$ where $M$ is a homology three-sphere, will yield the Casson invariant of $M.$

description: The relationships between retailers and producers are considered for understanding the determinants of quality, variety and prices. In the food sector, some issues have been extensively studied: impacts of private labels, supply contracts, price transmission. Despite an increasing role, the implementation of “Category management” (CM) has been less studied. CM belongs to a set of methods based on the concepts of Efficient Consumer Response and Supply Chain Management which have been widely implemented by large retailers and thus have changed the relationships among actors in the food chain. As a part of this evolution, Category Captain’s concept (CC) involves a commitment between a retailer and one of the suppliers who receives decision-making power over the product category. Usually, the major of the food suppliers plays the CC’s role in partnership with the retailers. In practices, CC raises many questions. What effects on the sales and prices? Is it beneficial for all the stakeholders, including the consumers? What are their consequences on the non captain suppliers? We propose a vertical relationship model considering that the retailer is the chain’s leader (Stackelberg game). We compare a non-cooperative game (no CC) to a cooperative game (one supplier as CC). We analyse under which conditions CC improves the profit of each stakeholder, as well as the consumers’ surplus. We show that the cooperative game is always a “win, win, win” game for stakeholders (but not necessary for consumers) if the two suppliers offer similar products. If products are different, we define the parameters relationships under which CC is beneficial for stakeholders and consumers.

description: Ugandan smallholder farmers produce the nation's major food crop using numerous banana varieties with distinctive attributes, while coping with important biotic constraints and imperfect markets. This empirical context motivates a trait-based model of the agricultural household that establishes the economic association between household preferences for specific variety attributes (yield, disease and pest resistance, and taste), among other exogenous factors, and variety demand, or the extent of cultivation. Six variety demands are estimated in reduced form, each in terms of both plant counts ("absolute" or levels demand) and plant shares ("relative" demand). Two salient findings emerge from the analysis: 1) the determinants of both absolute and relative demands are variety-specific and cannot be generalized across groups of cultivars; and 2) the determinants of absolute and relative demand are not the same in sign or significance. These findings raise questions about commonly used econometric specifications in the adoption literature. Grouping varieties together masks individual differences, and differences may be important for predicting the adoption of new technologies such as genetically transformed, endemic or local varieties. The development of methods to estimate a complete variety demand system might permit resolution of cross-variety relationships. The purpose of this research is to contribute information of use in identifying suitable local host varieties for the insertion of resistance traits through genetic transformation, and the factors affecting their potential adoption.

description: While agricultural production statistics are reported on a geopolitical – often national - basis we often need to know the status of production or productivity within specific sub-regions, watersheds, or agro-ecological zones. Such re-aggregations are typically made using expert judgments or simple area-weighting rules. We describe a new, entropy-based approach to making spatially disaggregated assessments of the distribution of crop production. Using this approach tabular crop production statistics are blended judiciously with an array of other secondary data to assess the production of specific crops within individual ‘pixels’ – typically 25 to 100 square kilometers in size. The information utilized includes crop production statistics, farming system characteristics, satellite-derived land cover data, biophysical crop suitability assessments, and population density. An application is presented in which Brazilian state level production statistics are used to generate pixel level crop production data for eight crops. To validate the spatial allocation we aggregated the pixel estimates to obtain synthetic estimates of municipio level production in Brazil, and compared those estimates with actual municipio statistics. The approach produced extremely promising results. We then examined the robustness of these results compared to short-cut approaches to spatializing crop production statistics and showed that, while computationally intensive, the cross-entropy method does provide more reliable estimates of crop production patterns.

description: The quantum circuit model is an abstraction that hides the underlying physical implementation of gates and measurements on a quantum computer. For precise control of real quantum hardware, the ability to execute pulse and readout-level instructions is required. To that end, we introduce Qiskit Pulse, a pulse-level programming paradigm implemented as a module within Qiskit-Terra \cite{Qiskit}. To demonstrate the capabilities of Qiskit Pulse, we calibrate both un-echoed and echoed variants of the cross-resonance entangling gate with a pair of qubits on an IBM Quantum system accessible through the cloud. We perform Hamiltonian characterization of both single and two-pulse variants of the cross-resonance entangling gate with varying amplitudes on a cloud-based IBM Quantum system. We then transform these calibrated sequences into a high-fidelity CNOT gate by applying pre and post local-rotations to the qubits, achieving average gate fidelities of $F=0.981$ and $F=0.979$ for the un-echoed and echoed respectively. This is comparable to the standard backend CNOT fidelity of $F_{CX}=0.984$. Furthermore, to illustrate how users can access their results at different levels of the readout chain, we build a custom discriminator to investigate qubit readout correlations. Qiskit Pulse allows users to explore advanced control schemes such as optimal control theory, dynamical decoupling, and error mitigation that are not available within the circuit model.
