IPTV Resource and Performance Management using End-to-End Available Bandwidth Estimation Techniques

Over-The-Top IPTV services have seen a huge increase in popularity in recent years.\nThis fact coupled with the ever increasing resource requirements of IPTV services has\ncreated a necessity for e�cient and e�ective management of these IPTV services.\nThis thesis presents contributions and �ndings into the use of end-to-end Available\nBandwidth estimation to help govern Over-The-Top IPTV service delivery. An ex-\namination is presented of the conditions under which end-to-end Available Bandwidth\nestimation is suitable for use in an IPTV scenario. This work is progressed to show that\nAvailable Bandwidth estimation is a suitable basis for Admission Control decisions.\nThe thesis continues with the presentation and discussion of algorithms that use\nAvailable Bandwidth estimation to improve the performance management of the IPTV\nsystem. An algorithm is presented that governs the e�cient replication of content to\nallow better use of resources. This is followed by an algorithm that prioritises high\nvalue requests with the intention of maximising the revenue generated by an IPTV\nsystem.\nThis thesis also looks at the use of Available Bandwidth estimation when interacting\nwith external business partners. The important area of renewable energy utilisation\nfor IPTV Service Delivery is examined. Available Bandwidth estimation is used in\nconjunction with energy information at data centres that are in use to ensure both\nQuality of Service preservation and maximisation of the Green Energy that is used by\nthe IPTV provider. Reactive and predictive approaches to achieve these objectives are\nboth presented.

Models based on chronological data correctly predict the spread of freshwater aliens, and reveal a strong influence of river access, anthropogenic activities and climate regimes

Alien species constitute one of the main threats to freshwater ecosystems, negatively impacting biodiversity, economy, biosecurity and ecosystem services. Predicting the arrival and spread of alien species is of paramount importance to prevent new introductions and control the expansion and establishment of already introduced species. We modelled the distribution of four freshwater invaders in Great Britain, using environmental and anthropogenic predictors, to help focus management actions. The species grouped different taxa including signal crayfish ( Pacifastacus leniusculus ), the marsh frog ( Pelophylax ridibundus ), the red-eared slider ( Trachemys scripta ) and the pike-perch ( Sander lucioperca ). The modelling approach accounted for methodological limitations and implemented two evaluations, a temporal evaluation using data corresponding to 70% of the oldest records to calibrate models and the remaining 30% for evaluation using various performance metrics (the common AUC, TSS and also null models) and an independent evaluation using the most recent range expansion of the species in the last six years. The distribution of the species was facilitated by multiple environmental and anthropogenic predictors. Road density was the second most important predictor of the occurrence of signal crayfish and red-eared slider preceded by the distance to ports and isothermality for each species respectively. Human population density was the most important predictor of marsh frog presence whereas pike-perch was mostly related to the proximity of boat ramps and precipitation regimes. Our distribution models were accurate and predicted the most recent range expansion of all of the species, highlighting their usefulness for preventing alien species spread and the value of using historical projections, usually available for non-native species, to calibrate and evaluate Species Distribution Models.

Geographical and Demographic Approaches to Leaving Religion

Geographical and demographic approaches to leaving religion seek to understand processes of religious conversion and change across space and the human lifecycle. Geographical approaches have considered how structural shifts – such as those associated with social modernisation, communism and secularisation – have brought about large-scale departures from religion. Recently, these approaches have become more granular, and have considered the ways in which space can be a mediator and outcome of religious activity. Demographic approaches have considered how the propensity to leave religion intersects with life events, human development and other forms of population profiling. As such, they attempt to predict when individuals are likely to leave religion, but do not necessarily explain why.

No Easy Way Out for EZH2: Its Pleiotropic, Noncanonical Effects on Gene Regulation and Cellular Function

Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) plays critical roles in a range of biological processes including organ development and homeostasis, epigenomic and transcriptomic regulation, gene repression and imprinting, and DNA damage repair. A widely known function of EZH2 is to serve as an enzymatic subunit of Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) and catalyze trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3) for repressing target gene expression. However, an increasing body of evidence demonstrates that EZH2 has many “non-conventional” functions that go beyond H3K27 methylation as a Polycomb factor. First, EZH2 can methylate a number of nonhistone proteins, thereby regulating cellular processes in an H3K27me3-independent fashion. Furthermore, EZH2 relies on both methyltransferase-dependent and methyltransferase-independent mechanisms for modulating gene-expression programs and/or epigenomic patterns of cells. Importantly, independent of PRC2, EZH2 also forms physical interactions with a number of DNA-binding factors and transcriptional coactivators to context-dependently influence gene expression. The purpose of this review is to detail the complex, noncanonical roles of EZH2, which are generally less appreciated in gene and (epi)genome regulation. Because EZH2 deregulation is prevalent in human diseases such as cancer, there is increased dependency on its noncanonical function, which shall have important implications in developing more effective therapeutics.

ULF geomagnetic power at cusp latitudes in response to upstream solar wind conditions

Energy densities are computed for geomagnetic field fluctuations in the Pc 3–4 range using H component magnetometer data recorded at South Pole station over a three‐month period from June 3 to September 4, 1982. Hourly values of the energy densities in the Pc 3 and Pc 4 period bands are found to be highly correlated during geomagnetic local daytime hours. The results of multivariate analyses between geomagnetic energies and upstream solar wind quantities show that the most important quantity in controlling the magnitude of the field fluctuations is the solar wind speed, with the IMF B z component being of next importance. We conclude that the Kelvin‐Helmholtz instability at the dayside magnetopause is, statistically, the dominant energy source that contributes to ULF hydromagnetic wave activity at cusp latitudes.

Utilizing mobile-learning and CAP(E) lesson framework in improving the productive skills of learners in a hybrid environment

Purpose Research advocates for the use of good teaching practices and approaches while integrating technology in digitally enhanced learning. This is on the premise that previous studies on mobile learning have neglected this aspect of technology integration resulting in numerous challenges. Moreover, there is evidence in the literature showing a scarcity of studies on the use of mobile learning in teaching productive skills. On the other hand, linguists recommend the use of responsive lesson design frameworks in language teaching, claiming effectiveness in teaching all language skills. However, responsive lesson design frameworks are yet to be implemented in a classroom setting. To bridge these gaps in scientific literature, our study decides to utilize the CAPE framework as a good teaching method for improving the productive skills of students in mobile-based instruction. Design/methodology/approach This study utilizes a mixed-methods research design with an experimental approach. Post-tests and interviews were employed to elicit information from the student-participants on the objective of the study. Findings Following the analysis of the collected data, notable findings were obtained. While there was evidence to show that the students perceived m-learning as boring and ineffective when incorporated with a traditional lesson framework, our study unveiled that students showed a different perception when incorporated with the CAPE framework. Practical implications Our study unveils that integrating responsive lesson frameworks with m-learning improves the speaking and writing skills of students. Originality/value This study provides empirical evidence to show the role of good teaching practices like integrating responsive LDFs and mobile learning in improving the productive skills of students. This study is the first to investigate the integration of CAPE and mobile learning in enhancing expressive skills.

An overview of double-bar single-wheel rotary combustion engine

This rotary engine comprises a cylindrical chamber inside a casing wherein there is a concentric rotatable power shaft and a rotatable asymmetric main wheel mounted eccentrically enough as such to avoid contact with the wall of cylindrical chamber. In addition, two bars traversing the main wheel radially further have a wiping contact with the cylindrical chamber wherein one bar is fixed with power shaft and other bar is hinged with said power shaft. A combustion process is in detonation phase within a demarcated combustion chamber whereby the combustion chamber rotatably travels from a bottom dead volume to a top dead volume, and hence, a power, generated during this path of rotational travel, is subsequently available for delivery at the concentric power shaft.

ANTIGENIC ANALYSES OF THE ADULT WORMS OF NIPPOSTRONGYLUS BRASILIENSIS BY CROSSED IMMUNOELECTROPHORESIS

In order to identify and to characterize the antigens from Nippostrongylus brasiliensis which are involved in the in vitro blastogenesis of T cells from infected animals, we have established by crossed immunoelectrophoresis a two dimensional antigenic map of the adult worm homogenate. Polyclonal precipitating rabbit antiserum recognized 26 antigens including five enzymes in these homogenates. The antigenic enzymes, the precipitates of which are only stained by specific staining, are: aldolase, malic enzyme, acid phosphatase, peroxydase and cholinesterase. This antigenic map enable us to identify 26 antigens in adult worm homogenates and to compare them with those which will be contained in purification fractions from these homogenates or in homogenates from other parasites.

Bark reflectance spectra of conifers and angiosperms: implications for host discrimination by coniferophagous bark and timber beetles

The spectral reflectance of phytophagous insects' host plants is usually quantified between 300–350 nm (ultraviolet, UV) and 700 nm (farred to infrared), and the shape and magnitude of the distribution of reflected light determine the hue, saturation, and intensity perceived by insects (Moericke 1969). Host perception also depends on the distribution of environmental light (Endler 1993) and on the constraints of the insects' visual system, which is usually described as dichromatic, with one type of photoreceptor responding maximally to blue light (λ max = ca . 400–470 nm) and another to green light (λ max = ca . 500–530 nm). UV receptors also appear to be common, if not ubiquitous (Briscoe and Chittka 2001; Mazza et al. 2002). Several phytophagous insects have been shown to use visual cues, including UV reflectance, to locate and (or) discriminate among plants (Prokopy and Owens 1983).

Sensor Data Collection Using Heterogeneous Mobile Devices

Abstract—Data collection has always been a major challenge in sensor networks and various techniques have been proposed to enable efficient data collection. One such methodology is the use of mobile elements within the existing infrastructure to enable data collection. The paper proposes the use of existing mobile elements like mobile phones which have enough spare capacity to act as data carriers within a sensor network to carry sensor data. With advent of technology, mobile devices have become so powerful that they can work in a pervasive environment and make decisions based on context information like presence, location etc. Our proposal is an intelligent heterogeneous network in which the sensor nodes act as the data accumulators and the context-aware mobile phones act as data carriers of the sensed data. A framework that enables the mobile node and sensor node communication over Bluetooth is proposed and a p implementation is presented. I.

Identification of Features of Rare Risk Events in Oil Refineries Using Natural Language Processing (NLP)

Accidents in the process industry can be prevented and their consequences mitigated by performing proper risk analyses to inform decision making.Quantitative risk analysis (QRA) is one of the main frameworks used for risk assessment and the identification of all hazards, which a plant is exposed to.There are crucial tasks to ensure the comprehensiveness of QRA that are carried out by the examination of a set of engineering documents by experts during structured meetings.The hazards identified are stored as textual data in documents, which retain valuable information about the risks related to the analyzed system.In this context, Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques have emerged as a way for extracting, organizing and classifying relevant information from text.However, a challenge arises when we are interested in addressing catastrophic accidents that are rare and for which, thus, only limited information is available.Some accidents are actually postulated as possible in principle, but there are no historical occurrence records.Developing techniques to characterize features about such rare events is a challenging task, yet quite useful for QRA, whose outcomes would guide designing preventive measures and supporting decision making.In this paper, we applied data augmentation (DA) and investigate different configurations to address the rare event issue.DA is applied to obtain a balanced and sufficiently large training set.The final aim of this work is developing a model capable of characterizing relevant features about rare or unseen accidental scenarios in support to hazard and operability study (HAZOP) and preliminary hazard analysis (PrHA).

A practical approach to fibromyalgia.

The term fibromyalgia refers to a collection of symptoms with no clear physiologic cause, but the symptoms together constitute a clearly recognizable and distinct pathologic entity. The diagnosis is made through the examiner's clinical observations. The differential diagnosis must include other somatic syndromes as well as disease entities, including hepatitis, hypothyroidism, diabetes mellitus, electrolyte imbalance, multiple sclerosis, and cancer. Diagnostic criteria serve as guidelines for diagnosis, not as absolute requirements. Treatment of fibromyalgia, which is an ongoing process, remains individualized, relying on a good physician-patient relationship. It is goal-oriented, directed at helping patients get restorative sleep, alleviating the somatic pains, keeping patients productive, and regulating schedules. It can be achieved through a goal-oriented agreement between patient and provider. Because fibromyalgia is chronic and may affect all areas of an individual's functioning, the physician needs to also evaluate the social support systems of patients with fibromyalgia. The approach to treatment should integrate patient education as well as non-pharmacologic and pharmacologic modalities. To keep patients well educated and involved in their healthcare, physicians should provide patients with adequate sources for reliable information.
