Mobile Sensors Deployment Subject to Measurement Error

Single-cell-based coverage hole detection algorithms are developed for mobile sensors deployment under inaccurate location information and non-identical sensing ranges. Existing Voronoi-based diagrams require the exact location of sensors to guarantee a simple, single-cell-based coverage detection, and they miss the mark if the location information is inaccurate. The guaranteed Voronoi-based diagrams, proposed in this paper, extend the existing diagrams in a way to guarantee the single-cell based coverage hole detection when upper bounds on location errors are provided. Simulation results show that with inaccurate location information the proposed algorithms can largely increase the network coverage. Even if the location information is exactly known, we suggest assuming some error margins to improve the network coverage based on the proposed algorithms.
An assessment of practitioner cross-racial treatment experiences.

This study sought to determine differences in the cross-racial practice experiences of white and minority social services practitioners. Fifty-three counselors in a Veterans Administration outreach center evaluated various aspects of their cross-racial practice experiences. Both white and minority counselors perceived themselves to work equally well with white clients, but white counselors perceived themselves to be less effective when working with minority clients. The majority of white and minority counselors reported identifying the source of white clients' problems as being internal and that of minority clients' problems as being external. This finding was interpreted as being a possible bias against white clients on the part of both white and minority practitioners. White counselors reported experiencing less client credibility, and minority counselors reported more incidents of racism. Implications for social work are discussed.
EDP conversion consideration

Conversion from one manufacturer to another is a simple phrase that embodies a myriad of changes. There are large changes in the obvious. That is, changes in hardware and software. This, however, is only the beginning. There are sweeping changes to be made in concept, DP management, machine operation, systems programming, forms and forms control, methods and procedures to mention a few. The changes in this case are not analogous at all to a change from one automobile manufacturer to another. Rather, the change is analogous to a change from an automobile to a helicopter.
 The conversion, if it is successfully done, then has a sweeping effect on all operations. Special purpose leased or written software packages will not work. Extensive Systems software that allows the unity of processing on multiple machines will not work. Systems and systems programmer groups will no longer be backed up to each other nor can their efforts be coordinated and shared. This will create multiple problems on systems instead of duplicate problems for the same equipment. One for one conversion will not be a satisfactory method of program change. A complete redesign of application program systems would be necessary to best utilize the hardware and software capabilities of a new system.
Characterization of Y2O3 gate dielectric on n-GaAs substrates

Physical and electrical properties of sputtered deposited Y 2 O 3 films on NH 4 OH treated n-GaAs substrate are investigated. The as-deposited films and interfacial layer formation have been analyzed by using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS). It is found that directly deposited Y 2 O 3 on n-GaAs exhibits excellent electrical properties with low frequency dispersion ( 12  eV −1  cm −2 ). The results show that the deposition of Y 2 O 3 on n-GaAs can be an effective way to improve the interface quality by the suppression on native oxides formation, especially arsenic oxide which causes Fermi level pinning at high- k /GaAs interface. The Al/Y 2 O 3 /n-GaAs stack with an equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) of 2.1 nm shows a leakage current density of 3.6 × 10 −6  A cm −2 at a V FB of 1 V. While the low-field leakage current conduction mechanism has been found to be dominated by the Schottky emission, Poole–Frenkel emission takes over at high electric fields. The energy band alignment of Y 2 O 3 films on n-GaAs substrate is extracted from detailed XPS measurements. The valence and conduction band offsets at Y 2 O 3 /n-GaAs interfaces are found to be 2.14 and 2.21 eV, respectively.
Should Political Science be More Relevant? A Comment on the Paper by John E. Trent

The paper deals with a couple of speculations by John E. Trent with respect to the state and impact of contemporary political science. It particularly takes issue with the Trent claim that political science must become more relevant and instead emphasizes the need for an independent science system. Furthermore, it accepts the notion that there is a problem with respect to overspecialization but regards this as a necessity if science and research want to move ahead. The Trent argument about schisms in political science theorizing and research methodology must be taken seriously, but can and should be counteracted by the good will of scholars to seek regular intellectual exchanges also in fields where controversy rages. Finally, it is argued in the paper that the Trent worldview is very much a North American one that should be balanced by looking also at other political science communities around the world.
Диспозиция взгляда или оптика идентичности в современном искусстве

The article contributes to the discourse, which is currently associated with visual anthropology. Taking art works of contemporary Russian artists as the main material for the analysis the author demonstrates how visual art constructs the optics of identity, putting audience into the specific disposition of vision. All artworks used as the material for this article are presented at the exhibition ''United States of Siberia'' (2012-2013, curated by V. Mizin) and illustrate the author's point on constructing the optics of Siberian identity. In the theoretical problem statement the author addresses to the works of M. MacLuhan and approach of the Frankfurt School critical theorists. The key point is that we need to emphasize not the visual or narrative representations of the art works but instead make focus on the disposition of the vision the way the meaning and visuality are connected in the point where the viewer sees and reads the artwork. The aesthetic methodology of the analysis follows the ideas of conceptual art, arte povera, and pop-art. The author demonstrates how means of ''arte povera'' artistic expressions open new opportunities for artists to translate the triviality of ordinary things into sublime meanings. Considering the artworks presented at the ''United States of Siberia'' exhibition, the author describes the artistic power of arte povera methods (in its Russian version called ''Russian povera''): collages made of postcards and newspapers in a series ''The were fighting for the Homeland'' by Sergey Bespamiatnykh, an installation made of axes with the Olympic Games symbols by Vasily Slonov, etc. The emphasis of protesting gestures against the dominant mass culture and glamour elitism is made. The optics of contemporary art is explained as modelling of multilayer interpretations and deconstruction of visual stereotypes of the mass consumer culture. Creative expression of Siberian artists described as Siberian pop-art with its controversial substitution of the sublime by the trivial and revelation of the emptiness behind the signs and symbols of mass culture mixed with everyday life reality of the ordinary consumer. The disposition of the vision is constructed by ironical substitution of the pop-culture visual cliche: Damir Muratov finds American pop-stars living in Siberian villages (''If they were born in Siberia'' series), Nicolay Kopeikin creates epic scenes of ''The War of the Worlds'' between Russian and American cartoon heroes, Vasiliy Slonov presents advertising posters of the Olympics 2014 (Welcome to Sochi 2014). The author comes to the conclusion that contemporary Siberian artists find an original way to construct the optics of Siberian identity, which allows the viewer to transcend the limits of the stereotyped perception and imposes sensitivity to the new visions of the regional cultural marketing under the label of contemporary art.
High pressure solid state chemistry of carbon dioxide.

A review of experimental and theoretical studies performed over the past three decades on high pressure chemistry of solid CO2, at 0-80 GPa and 40-3000 K, is presented. Emphasis is placed on the recently discovered non-molecular covalent crystalline phase V, and its glassy counterpart a-CO2, along with other molecular phases, whose interpretation is crucial for determining the reaction path to non-molecular CO2. The matter is still under debate, and many open issues are outlined, such as the true reaction mechanism for forming phase V. Finally, we propose arguments to stimulate possible future research in a more extended P-T range. This work is a tutorial review and should be of general interest both for solid state chemistry and condensed matter physics communities.
Beyond 1492: Encounters in Colonial North America.

In this provocative and timely collection of essays-five published for the first time-one of the most important ethnohistorians writing today, James Axtell, explores the key role of imagination both in our perception of strangers and in the writing of history. Coinciding with the 500th anniversary of Columbus's "discovery" of America, this collection covers a wide range of topics dealing with American history. Three essays view the invasion of North America from the perspective of the Indians, whose land it was. The very first meetings, he finds, were nearly always peaceful. Other essays describe native encounters with colonial traders-creating "the first consumer revolution"-and Jesuit missionaries in Canada and Mexico. Despite the tragedy of many of the encounters, Axtell also finds that there was much humor in Indian-European negotiations over peace, sex, and war. In the final section he conducts searching analyses of how college textbooks treat the initial century of American history, how America's human face changed from all brown in 1492 to predominantly white and black by 1792, and how we handled moral questions during the Quincentenary. He concludes with an extensive review of the Quincentenary scholarship-books, films, TV, and museum exhibits-and suggestions for how we can assimilate what we have learned.
The Maturity Structure of Bank Credit: Determinants and Effects on Economic Growth

A new data set from the transition economies shows that the private sector has increasing access to long-term bank financing. In several transition countries credit has similar maturity structure to that in Western Europe, while in other transition countries credit remains mostly short-term. Several factors explain these differences: the political and institutional environment, bank privatization, sustained low inflation, the levels of economic and financial development, and the establishment of credit information sharing institutions. In contrast, the share of foreign owned banks and banking sector competition have no influence on credit maturity.
Oceans of Crenarchaeota: a Personal History Describing This Paradigm Shift: Studies of marine archaea during the past two decades unveil the distinctive biology of these diverse and abundant microorganisms

The notion that Archaea are abundant in most natural habitats, especially the oceans, marks a fundamental sea change from a generation ago, one that met considerable resistance at first. The seeds of the idea trace to 1977, when Carl Woese at the University of Illinois and George Fox, now at the University of Houston, proposed, on the basis of painstakingly analyzed ribosomal RNA (rRNA) oligonucleotide sequences, that life stems from “three aboriginal lines of descent.” Their findings are considered among the most important in modern biology.
A Continent of Pictures: Reflections on the "Europe" of Nineteenth-Century Tourists

(Oxford UP, 1993). O S BSERVING THE frustration of a tourist's anticipations can help us grasp the basis of their fulfillment. In the early 1820s, a disappointed William Hazlitt found Rome to consist mainly of "a mass of tawdry, fulsome common-places," such as "an almost uninterrupted succession of narrow, vulgar-looking streets [filled] with the dingy, melancholy flat fronts of modem-built brick houses." What, he asked, had "a green-grocer's stall, a stupid English china warehouse, a putrid trattoria, a barber's sign, an old clothes or old picture shop or a Gothic palace, with two or three lacqueys in modern livery lounging at the gate, to do with ancient Rome?" (279-80). Twenty years later, Frances Trollope arrived in Florence, dreaming of "enter[ing] bodily into the presence of Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio, . . .the great Cosmo . . . and Lorenzo," only to discover that Florence's "great historic features were merged in the ordinary appearances, common to all cities of the earth"; her "poetical reminiscences gave way before the confusion of butchers' stalls, grocers' shops, pedlars' booths, and the busy, and not very picturesque-looking population which was basking among them" . A quarter century later, Henry James disliked Darmstadt for "reminding [the visitor] of the most sordid, the most squalid prose he knows-the cornergroceries and the region of the docks in his native metropolis" (Transatlantic 373). Passages like these are plentiful in the British and American travel literature of the nineteenth century. What were these travelers seeking, that such mundane presences as "butchers' stalls, grocers' shops, [and] pedlars' booths" should so discomfit them? I want to look beyond differences in specific ideals (antiquity for Hazlitt, Renaissance for Trollope) to consider the desideratum these passages clearly share, namely, alterity as such. This goal is apt to seem perfectly natural for travelers-who goes abroad to encounter what is near at hand? Unless the ordinary shops, eating

The River Management Modelling For Ecology

In this study, the river management modelling was analysed based on ecology at a critical approach. Our laws and legal arrangements that are one of the significant water resources, affect our river management. This modelling obtains these laws and legal arrangement’s effective and problems. These problems create to ensure ecological sustainability. So, we used SWOT analysis for the existing laws and institutions. Also we discussed the methodological approaches that the protection of nature is important taking a decision and runtime for the place of the institutional structuring. The river management modelling develops for our country from taking the European Water Framework Directive’s knowledge. In addition, to ensure the monitoring of ecological criteria which constitutes important basis for planning of watershed, vegetation, aquatic wildlife and coastal land use systematic recommendations have been created. Development of the river management and application can be settled in our country. The river management is also important for our energy about natural life and transportation.
Extensible document-based model Web engineering

This paper proposes an Extensible document-based model Web engineering approach. First, we propose a document model for multilingual composite documents. Building on work by librarians that lead to the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR), our document model gathers all versions of a document in a tree structure. It describes the relations between a digital document's various versions, translations, formats, etc. Then we propose a model for document content. Document data and metadata are modeled with relations between entity nodes and data, bringing data and metadata to the same level in the design process. A cascading inheritance model is proposed to allow component reuse and rapid prototyping of applications. Finally, a relationship model enables the creation of application specific relations between documents. Sydonie, a free software framework, implements the proposed models. Implementation details are provided and illustrated using two applications built with the framework. A discussion offers a perspective on other approaches and a qualitative evaluation is provided. Finally, this paper concludes with perspectives and further work being carried out using our model and framework.
Final Report: Synthesis of aquatic climate change vulnerability assessments for the Interior West

Water is a critical resource for humans and ecological systems in the western United States. Aquatic ecosystems including lakes, rivers, riparian areas and wetlands, are at high risk of climate impacts because they experience relatively high exposure to climate fluctuations and extremes. In turn, impacts arising from climate change are far reaching because these systems tend to support a disproportionate amount of the biodiversity and ecological services in the landscapes within which they exist (Capon et al., 2013). A number of reviews are available that detail threats to riparian and aquatic ecosystems (Spears et al., 2013; Poff et al., 2011; EPA 2011). The Bureau of Reclamation’s Managing Water in the West report (Spears et al., 2013), Third Edition of the Literature Synthesis on Climate Change Implications for Water and Environmental Resources, provides a comprehensive synthesis specific to climate impacts for the Western U.S. Within this report expected trends and relevant studies are reviewed and summarized for each region within the U.S. (e.g. Lower Colorado, Upper Colorado, and Mid-Pacific) and include an overview of potential changes and likely impact. A comprehensive review of literature pertaining to California and surrounding areas can be found in Kiparksy and Gleick (2003). Two recent climate assessments consider impacts to aquatic ecosystems and water resources for the entire U.S. and the southwestern U.S. (Melillo et al., 2014 and Garfin et al., 2015, respectively).
Crisis in the periodic Lorentz gas.

The attractor of the nonequilibrium Lorentz gas covers the whole of the accessible phase space at small values of the field. Here we investigate the transition from this state to a state with fractal support, corresponding to a discontinuity in the box dimension as a function of field. A number of numerical techniques are employed, the most effective involving symbolic dynamics. It is found that above the transition, the dynamics is effectively irreversible in a manner not evident below the transition. A similar crisis occurs at different spacings and rotation angles. @S1063-651X~96!10111-2
Inwardness and Sociability: A Reply to Carter

Carter argues that Wittgensteinian moral philosophy – typified by the work of Raimond Gaita and Christopher Cordner – rests on shaky foundations because it vacillates between grounding moral judgements in grammar and in a form of life. In this article, I respond to Carter's criticism. I defend Wittgensteinian moral philosophy by showing that Gaita and Cordner specifically repudiate the purported dichotomy between grammar and a form of life. I then go on to explain why Wittgensteinian moral philosophers are right not to try to ground moral judgements in features of a shared form of life.
The New Division of Labor in the Globalized Economy: Women’s Challenges and Opportunities

The way in which the new international division of labor (NIDL) in the globalized economy affects gender inequalities has not been sufficiently explored yet. The body of literature on commodity chains that has attempted to assess the welfare effects of the NIDL, especially in less developed countries, has paid sparse attention to gender issues. Globalization has entailed the deverticalization of commodity supply chains and the emergence of highly concentrated financial groups and transnational companies linked to a network of firms operating as affiliates and suppliers, namely the global commodity chains. The NIDL could worsen gender inequality, due to the particular organizational strategies in global commodity chains that privilege power, instead of trust and market exchange, as the major form of governance and means for resource allocation. Because women represent the poorest swathe of the world’s population, they suffer the most from the growing wealth inequality and the concentration of power produced by the NIDL. Moreover, because of the traditional sexual division of labor and because of their low status in society, women are the most harshly exploited subjects in the system. The general conclusion of the paper is that in the NIDL the main means of resource allocation are not competitive markets, as often suggested by the GCV literature and mainstream economics, but are instead power relations that ultimately stem from the patriarchal culture of violence and domination.
Carbon, Climate, and Land-use in Ukraine: Forest Sector

Stabilization of climate and maintenance of ecological stability over the planet within the paradigm of sustainable development underline the role of forests as one of the most effective and appropriate tools for climate change mitigation. This publication attempts to provide a system analysis of carbon budget of Ukrainian forests using internationally examined methods, as well as to analyze the impacts of the forests on climatic change within two potential scenarios of future forest management in Ukraine up to 2030s. the problem of adaptation to, and mitigation of, climate change is also considered.
