Optimal Algorithm Allocation for Single Robot Cloud Systems

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Robotics (cs.RO)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: In order for a robot to perform a task, several algorithms need to be executed, sometimes, simultaneously. Algorithms can be run either on the robot itself or, upon request, be performed on cloud infrastructure. The term cloud infrastructure is used to describe hardware, storage, abstracted resources, and network resources related to cloud computing. Depending on the decisions on where to execute the algorithms, the overall execution time and necessary memory space for the robot will change accordingly. The price of a robot depends, among other things, on its memory capacity and computational power. We answer the question of how to keep a given performance and use a cheaper robot (lower resources) by assigning computational tasks to the cloud infrastructure, depending on memory, computational power, and communication constraints. Also, for a fixed robot, our model provides a way to have optimal overall performance. We provide a general model for the optimal decision of algorithm allocation under certain constraints. We exemplify the model with simulation results. The main advantage of our model is that it provides an optimal task allocation simultaneously for memory and time.

Cooling flows or warming rays?

description: The radiative cooling time of the X-ray-emitting plasma near the center in many clusters of galaxies is shorter than the age of the cluster, but neither the expected large drop in central temperature --nor the expected mass flow towards the pressure-depleted cluster centers-- are observed. We propose a solution to these ``cooling flow'' problems wherein energy is supplied to the plasma by hadronic cosmic rays (CRs). The solution requires an energy deposition more intense and more distributed than in conventional CR models, but this alternative model is also successful in describing the origin of CRs, as well as the properties of gamma ray bursts and of the diffuse gamma background radiation. The X-ray energy emitted by clusters is supplied, in a quasi-steady state, by the hadronic CRs, which act as ``warming rays''. The temperature distribution in the intracluster space is successfully predicted from the measured plasma-density distribution. Four other puzzling features of clusters can also be explained in simple terms: the discrepancy between their ``virial'' and ``lensing'' masses, their large magnetic fields, the correlation between their optical and X-ray luminosities, and the non-thermal tail of their X-ray spectrum.

Detecting autocovariance change in time series
Creators: name: Yaghi, Wisam R.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: A new test to detect changes in the covariance structure of a time series is developed. The test does not involve direct fitting of an assumed model for the time series. It is based on detecting changes in autocovariances calculated in a moving window through the series. The use of standard tests of time series change points is inappropriate because of the correlations imposed by the moving windows. This requires the development of new adjustments to existing time series change point tests. The ability of this moving window technique to detect changes in the lag one autocovariance of autoregressive and moving average time series is studied. We compare the performance of the moving window technique with seven parametric techniques for detecting change points in time series. We show that for long time series, the moving window technique outperforms these methods. Simulation results are used to determine appropriate number and width of windows and overlap percentage between two successive windows. We illustrate the application of this new test on UK treasury bill rates and airline travel data. The changes in covariances detected coincide with identifiable economic events that might have caused these changes.

Business as usual? The mobilization of the anti -sweatshop movement and the social construction of corporate identity
Creators: name: DeWinter-Schmitt, Rebecca M.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This dissertation examines the relational mechanisms through which social movement mobilization impacts the identity of targets of contention. Nike and Gap were selected as case studies to explain how, over an approximately fifteen year encounter with the anti-sweatshop movement, "business as usual" came to include conveying their socially responsible identities. They went from denying responsibility for conditions in their contracted factories to altering their organizational policies and structures, daily business practices, and public communications in order to demonstrate their commitment to labor standards and sustainable development in the globalized apparel industry. Using a narrative, relational concept of identity, which theorizes identity as residing in relations, boundaries, and stories, I elucidate Nike and Gap's social construction during contentious interactions. The movement, by successfully framing the sweatshop as a social problem via brand damage campaigns, was able to "rhetorically coerce" the companies into responding to accusations of the use of sweatshop labor. Nike and Gap allowed themselves to be "rhetorically entrapped" into aligning their words and deeds when they began to demonstrate progressive stages in the development of their corporate social responsibility (CSR) best practices. However, differentiating between "solidarity" and "market-based" strategic models of mobilization, I argue that Nike and Gap directed resistance towards their preferred remedial pathway, voluntary forms of corporate self-regulation. Three identity shift mechanisms--brokerage, category formation, and certification--discussed in the relational social movement literature capture how Nike and Gap's developing CSR commitment was given meaning and content, resulting in their social construction in a "different" manner than in the early 1990s. By the mid-2000s, the companies had brokered ties to the anti-sweatshop movement and its agenda; their boundaries had shifted vis-a-vis other collective actors, in particular contractors and the state, resulting in new responsibilities for workers and producing communities; and claims made about their CSR identities were certified by key stakeholders, including elements of the movement, media, and government. In the end, Nike and Gap were able to remove themselves as sustained targets of anti-sweatshop mobilization.

description: We present a catalog of 1147 candidate common proper motion binaries selected from the revised New Luyten Two-Tenths Catalog. Among these, we identify 999 genuine physical pairs using the measured proper-motion difference and the relative positions of each binary's components on a reduced proper-motion (RPM) diagram. The RPM positions also serve to classify them as either disk main-sequence (801), halo subdwarf (116), or pairs containing at least one white dwarf (82). The disk and halo samples are complete to separations of θ=500" and θ=900", which correspond to ~0.1 pc and ~1 pc, respectively. At wide separations, both distributions are well described by single power laws, dN/dθ~ θ^{-α}: α=1.67+-0.07 for the disk and α=1.55+-0.10 for the halo. The fact that these distributions have similar slopes (and similar normalizations as well) argues for similarity of the star-formation conditions of these two populations. The fact that the halo binaries obey a single power law out to ~1 pc permits strong constraints on halo dark-matter candidates. At somewhat closer separations (10"

description: Performance of carrot and bush bean under intercropping systems with maize at different planting systems was studied in two successive rabi seasons (2001-2003) to find out suitable crop combination and planting systems. Maize was grown as normal and paired row systems. One and two rows of carrot as well as bush bean were grown with normal row maize while 3 and 4 rows of carrot as well as bush bean in paired row maize. Maize gave higher grain yield when grown with bush bean than that of cariot in both the years. Carrot and bush bean yield were greatly influenced by the planting systems. In both the years, the highest carrot yield was obtained when 2 rows of carrot were grown in the inter-row space of normal maize rows. But the highest bush bean yield was obtained when 4 rows of bush bean were grown in the inter-row space of two pairs of maize rows and this combination also gave the highest benefit cost ratio. The results suggested that bush bean is more compatible with maize than carrot and 4 rows of bush bean with maize in paired row planting system is feasible for higher economic return.

description: Within a rather general tight-binding framework, we studied the magnetic properties of Ni$_{n}$ clusters with $n=9$ through 60. In addition to usual hopping, exchange, and spin-orbit coupling terms, our Hamiltonian also included orbital correlation and valence orbital shift of surface atoms. We show that orbital moment not only contributes appreciably to the total moment in this range of cluster size, but also dominates the oscillation of total moment with respect to the cluster size. Surface enhancement is found to occur not only for spin but, even stronger, also for orbital moment. The magnitude of this enhancement depends mainly on the coordination deficit of surface atoms, well described by a simple interpolation. For very small clusters ($n \leq 20$), quantum confinement of 4s electrons has drastic effects on 3$d$ electron occupation, and thus greatly influences both spin and orbital magnetic moments. With physically reasonable parameters to account for orbital correlation and surface valence orbital shift, our results are in good quantitative agreement with available experiments, evidencing the construction of a unified theoretical framework for nano-cluster magnetism.

Having said this, I use 'queer' as an analytical tool to problematize the notion of a seamless relationship between identity and practice by illustrating the multiple unfixed meanings that 'Latino'-'American'- take as these categories are re-appropriated and translated by LGBT Latinos in D.C., El Salvador and Ecuador. I argue that LGBT 'Latinos and Latinas' negotiation towards and against a 'queer' and 'Latino' fixed identity act as a way to contest a 'western' (understood as colonial and Eurocentric) 'authority' embodied by these scripts and labels. This analysis is conducted considering the importance of understanding translation and border crossing as non-linear processes. The importance of looking at the intersection of categories such as 'Latino' and 'queer' that clash with discourses around citizenship particularly considering the current anti-immigration debate, produces new methodological and theoretical questions. These questions call to revisit the foundations of those same tools we use to conduct research where LGBT Latinos - and not (only) the theories about them - need to be exposed.

description: We have studied the low mass X-ray binary (LMXB) populations within and outside globular clusters (GC) in NGC 4365 and NGC 3115. Using published age and metallicity constraints from optical and IR observations of their GCs, we do not find any evidence for an increase in the LMXB formation rate in the intermediate age cluster population of NGC 4365, as has been proposed in some scenarios of dynamical LMXB formation in GCs. The old, metal-rich, red population of GCs in NGC 3115 on the other hand is {\it at least} three times as efficient at creating LMXBs as the old, metal-poor, blue clusters. These data suggest that the higher formation efficiency of LMXBs in the red GC subsystems of many galaxies is largely a consequence of their higher metallicity. A comparison of the densities of field LMXBs in different galaxies does not reveal an obvious correlation with the age of the field stars as predicted by models in which the LMXB formation rate in the field drops monotonically with time after an initial burst. This suggests that either a significant fraction of the field LMXBs are created in GCs and subsequently injected into the field, or the LMXB formation rate has a more complex time evolution pattern.

description: Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) transformation pattern in urea and diammonium phosphate (DAP) amended alluvial, calcareous and red soils of Bangladesh were studied. Nitrogen (4) 0, 100 and 200 pg g soil was added from urea or DAP. Ammonification and nitrification were monitored over 90 days of incubation period maintaining 30% moisture at room temperature. Depending on soil types and N sources and doses, transformation of N varied significantly over the incubation period. The rate of ammonification increased rapidly, reached the maximum level between 6 and 10 days, and almost disappeared within 30 days. On the other hand, the nitrification rate decreased temporarily, then it showed increasing trend and reached the maximum level within 30 to 40 days and almost disappeared within 50 days. Among the soils, the highest rate of N mineralization was observed in alluvial soil and the lowest in red soil. Although 200 pg g-1 N amended soils produced higher amount of NF14+-N and NO3--N than 100 pg g-1 N amendment, relative performance of 100 pg g N amended soil was better than 200 pg g-1 N amendment. Between two fertilizers, urea showed a faster and higher rate of mineralization while DAP had a steady state and relatively slower rate of mineralization for the incubation period.

description: A phytoremediation study was carried out with eight weed species commonly grown in Bangladesh to develop an appropriate phytoremediation technology for the farmers of arsenic affected areas of Bangladesh. The soil was collected from the previous step of phytoremediation study. Initially the soil was treated with seven As levels viz. 0, 10, 20, 30, 50, 70 and 100 mg kg-1 arsenic as sodium arsenite (NaAs02). The residual soils after a series of phytoremediation study were used for the present study. In all weeds, the concentration of arsenic increased with increasing soil arsenic levels. While considering the interaction effect of As with other elements it was found that, with the increase of As concentration, the concentrations of the phosphorus and sulphur also increase both in root and shoot of the weeds. On the other hand, As reduces the uptake of calcium by the weeds.

MS basal medium supplemented with 1.5 mg/I IAA + 0.5 mg/I BA induced the explants to produce green and compact nodular callus. When these calli were transferred to MS medium containing a higher level of - BA (1.5 - 3.0 mg/I) with a lower level of IAA or NAA (0.5 .mg/1) produced adventitious shoots. Maximum response was achieved on MS medium containing 2.5 mg/I BA and 0.5 mg/I IAA. Regenerated shoots were excised and the best root formation (90%) were achieved in medium with 1.5 mg/I IBA. Rooted plantlets were successfully transferred into the soil.

description: We present extensive optical and infrared photometry of the afterglow of gamma-ray burst (GRB) 030329 and its associated supernova (SN) 2003dh over the first two months after detection (2003 March 30-May 29 UT). Optical spectroscopy from a variety of telescopes is shown and, when combined with the photometry, allows an unambiguous separation between the afterglow and supernova contributions. The optical afterglow of the GRB is initially a power-law continuum but shows significant color variations during the first week that are unrelated to the presence of a supernova. The early afterglow light curve also shows deviations from the typical power-law decay. A supernova spectrum is first detectable ~7 days after the burst and dominates the light after ~11 days. The spectral evolution and the light curve are shown to closely resemble those of SN 1998bw, a peculiar Type Ic SN associated with GRB 980425, and the time of the supernova explosion is close to the observed time of the GRB. It is now clear that at least some GRBs arise from core-collapse SNe.

description: The stationary cosmological model without closed timelike curves of Gödel type is obtained for the ideal dust matter source within the framework of the teleparallel gravity. For a specific choice of the teleparallel gravity parameters, this solution reproduces the causality violating stationary Gödel solution in general relativity, in accordance with the teleparallel equivalent of general relativity. The relation between the axial-vector torsion and the cosmic vorticity is clarified.

On the Origin of Intracluster Entropy

description: The entropy distribution of the intracluster medium and the shape of its confining potential well completely determine the X-ray properties of a relaxed cluster of galaxies, motivating us to explore the origin of intracluster entropy and to describe how it develops in terms of some simple models. We present an analytical model for smooth accretion, including both preheating and radiative cooling, that links a cluster's entropy distribution to its mass accretion history and shows that smooth accretion overproduces the entropy observed in massive clusters by a factor ~2-3, depending on the mass accretion rate. Any inhomogeneity in the accreting gas reduces entropy production at the accretion shock; thus, smoothing of the gas accreting onto a cluster raises its entropy level. Because smooth accretion produces more entropy than hierarchical accretion, we suggest that some of the observed differences between clusters and groups may arise because preheating smooths the smaller-scale lumps of gas accreting onto groups more effectively than it smooths the larger-scale lumps accreting onto clusters. This effect may explain why entropy levels at the outskirts of groups are ~2-3 times larger than expected from self-similar scaling arguments. The details of how the density distribution of accreting gas affects the entropy distribution of a cluster are complex, and we suggest how to explore the relevant physics with numerical simulations.

[Lectotype: INHS; ♀ Carlinville, Illinois, USA]
This species inhabits the western USA (Gibbs 2010). In BC, it has been collected in the Baja California Mountains, with a preserved specimen vouchered at INHS. The presence of a morphologically similar, undescribed species in the mountains of southern California necessitates a thorough examination of this species. See fig. 179.

Earthbound Labor and Transitory Exit from Farming in China

description: Smallholder farming remains predominant in Chinese agricultural production, despite massive outflows of rural labor to nonfarm sectors. Although a large number of agricultural households in China rent out the farmland for which they hold contract use rights, most of them still partially or seasonally cultivate the contract land. I collected survey data from 512 households in Southwest China to examine the arrangements of farmland, including abandonment, as households make transitory reductions in cultivation sizes. I develop a theory to explain why households tend to maximize the expected income by reducing cultivation sizes partially and seasonally. The theory centers upon the value of farmland as a safety net and an appreciable asset for agricultural households under imperfect land tenure and limited access to social benefit programs. The non-productive, use-based value of contract land is characterized by a function of simultaneous choices of the cultivation size and farm labor. Flexible reallocation of land use rights helps maximize the expected income, but the inefficiency in labor allocation remains considerable. Using the survey data, I find on-farm productivity of part-time farmers to be significantly lower than the opportunity nonfarm wage rate, implying $45 billion nonfarm earnings to be forgone by agricultural households per year.

description: Negative agricultural externalities that accompany dairy production activities are not usually accounted for in the market place since they are not priced. To be able to manage an externality however, it is important that it is measured. Using a hyperbolic environmental technology distance function, we estimate the farm-specific abatement costs (shadow price) of nitrogen pollution in the island of Ireland's (Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland) dairy sector. The methodology, unlike the output/input distance functions, allows for asymmetric treatments of production outputs (desirable and undesirable outputs). We also analyse the farm level nitrogen pollution costs ratio and its determinants. The analyses are based on farm-level panel data from the Teagasc National Farm Survey(NFS) and the Northern Ireland Farm Business Survey (FBS). The results of our estimation showed that it will cost about 93,552 and 28,149 per farm to fully abate nitrogen surplus for Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland respectively. We found a reasonable degree of variation in the spectrum of abatement costs across the dairy farms with a relative increase observed over the years. The results will provide quantitative information on farmers costs of reducing nitrogen pollution. This will be of relevance in designing future agri-environmental policies Acknowledgement : This study is funded by Teagasc under the Walsh fellowship programme.

The retention quagmire: Successful retention of African American faculty in a Predominantly White Institution of higher education
Creators: name: Bass, Cedric T.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This study examined the perceptions that African American faculty members have about the institutional environment of a Predominantly White Institution of higher education (PWI) which led to a higher retention rate of African American faculty members than that reported in other PWIs. This study described the retention policies and practices of that PWI. This study, consistent with its purpose, also led to the creation of a profile of the African American faculty members at the PWI of this study. The PWI of this study was initially a small private academy but had since grown into a major public university that offered a wealth of educational resources. The main campus of the subject PWI offered a small-town college atmosphere that provided easy access to two major metropolitan cities. African American faculty members who participated in this study reported on employment impacting factors such as commitment, racial and ethnic relations, academic preparation, and the labor pool. Findings from this study indicated that most African American faculty members worked towards achieving personal goals. African American faculty members also expected to be treated just as other faculty members. African American faculty members at the PWI of this study believed they held positions that offered them the potential to achieve tenure and promotion. The findings of this study differ from findings for African American faculty retention reported in the literature. For example, African American faculty at this PWI indicated that factors such as campus isolation and social situations had little or no impact on their retention. African American faculty members at the subject PWI were focused on opportunities to achieve tenure, to present at conferences and to perform research.
