Performance engineering for EA systems in next generation data centresPerformance engineering for EA systems in next generation data centres

Software Performance Engineering (SPE) methods have been in use for over two decades as an approach to manage the risks of developing systems that fail to satisfy their performance requirements. In general, SPE advocates the use of performance oriented design principles to guide design decisions and predictive performance models to assess the performance impact of design alternatives. SPE methods have been used successfully to identify and overcome system design blunders early in the Information Technology (IT) project lifecycle before the blunders are built into a system and become expensive and time consuming to correct. While the methods have been used successfully in some IT project domains, they are not widely applied in the important domain of Enterprise Application (EA) systems. This experience paper considers the reasons for this and explores the role of SPE as new EA platform and data centre technologies become available.We find that many risks traditionally addressed by SPE have been mitigated by the nature of existing EA platforms, the nature of today's IT projects for EA, and an attention to business process modeling. Furthermore, the design and implementation of future EA systems will see some performance risks reduced even further by new EA and IT system management platforms for Next Generation Data Centres. However, we expect that the nature of EA systems to be built is becoming more complex. As a result some familiar performance risks will re-emerge along with new runtime risks. We believe that SPE methods can help to mitigate such risks and describe research challenges that must be addressed to make this a reality.
Культурный капитал как базисное основание нравственного благополучия общества

Общеизвестно, что культурный капитал (в своих материальных и нематериальных активах) (1), как и любой другой (в зависимости от области, в которой он функционирует), может создавать поток товаров и услуг, имеющих как культурную, так и экономическую ценность. Существующий в инкорпорированном (в личности) и объективированном (в виде материальных предметов и средств) состояниях культурный капитал давно был «замечен» как фактор, влияющий на все сферы общественной жизни, и прежде всего на экономическую. Это отмечали и первый русский экономист Иван Посошков (2), русский предтеча А. Смита, и представители классической политической экономии, особенно в лице Дж. Ст. Милля, и русские экономисты XIX и начала XX веков, и западные и российские социологи XIX XX веков, и многие другие.
Low physical activity levels and functional decline in individuals with lung cancer.

Physical activity has been infrequently measured objectively in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We aimed to investigate levels of physical activity, functional and patient reported outcomes at diagnosis and over six months in participants with recently diagnosed NSCLC and compare results with both physical activity guidelines and outcomes of similar-aged healthy individuals.



This prospective observational study assessed 50 individuals from three Australian tertiary hospitals with stage I-IIIB NSCLC at diagnosis, then 10 weeks and six months later. Thirty five healthy individuals without cancer were assessed once. Outcome measures included tri-axial accelerometery (number of steps per day), six minute walk distance (6MWD), muscle strength and questionnaires including health-related quality of life (HRQoL).



Individuals with NSCLC were engaged in significantly less physical activity than similar-aged healthy individuals, with 60% not meeting physical activity guidelines. At diagnosis they had worse quadriceps strength, nutritional status and HRQoL. Over six months, participants with NSCLC experienced decline in self-reported physical activity, 6MWD and muscle strength, and worsening symptoms.



At diagnosis individuals with NSCLC engage in less physical activity, are weaker and more depressed than healthy individuals and their self-reported physical activity declines over six months. Future studies are required to investigate the efficacy of interventions to increase physical activity.
THE ROLE OF AFFECTS IN THE POLITICAL THOUGHT OF SPINOZA

The article analyzes the most traditional aspects of Spinoza’s political theory, the theory of the contract and the critique of religion, in close relation with the Ethics and the handling of the relations between affects and the imagination, considered to be the core of his political thought. Thus, the idea of conatus is interpreted from the dual perspective of politics and ontology, whose articulation with other categories included in the Ethics, particularly that of affects, offers an alternative to the idea of omnipotence that prevails in most modern philosophies.
Cluster policy and the supporting organizations for transnational clusters promoting - Romanian initiatives

In some european areas there are thousands of active companies with quite similar profiles, but the information about the potential for cooperation among the countries in the area is scarce because of the lack of visibility of SME-s, in general, and of transnational connections between companies and the supporting organizations, in particular. To overcome the current situation which is characterized by this lack of an exchange of information among the european zones on the potential for entrepreneurial cooperation, is necessary to have a common european concept and an active implication of the appropiate supporting organizations. On the basis of a context analisys our paper will try to highlighte the need for the following: â€¢ Stimulation of productive capacities of companies in order to create cluster networks in the strategic economic sectors, meant to improve the actual integration of the transnational competitive chains of SME-s and contribute thus to the narrowing of regional disparities and to an increase in the attractiveness of the regions lagging behind for FDI; â€¢ Improvement of information on the cross-border cooperation potential in these areas of Europe and promote it, so that SME-s in the regions have a bigger visibility â€¢ Stepping up the development of some innovative economic policies, of vertical relations among companies, of the visibility and accessibility of local productive systems and continued growth at a regional level. As case study the author chose the Romanian initiatives for transnational clusters promoting in some of the strategic economic sectors.
Time, duration, and freedom - Bergson's critical move against Kant

Research into Bergson’s philosophy downplays a key development in his first work, Time and free will . It is there that Bergson explicitly opposes himself to Kant by arguing that succession is not a temporal concept, but a spatial one. This is the crucial point of departure for Bergson’s entire philosophy, one that allows him to radically dismiss Kant’s notion of freedom in favor of one based on duration and multiplicity. This text has two aims. Firstly to add to Bergson scholarship by explicating the structure and force of Bergson’s initial argument against Kant, demonstrating that his engagement with Kant is much less incremental than has been suggested in secondary literature. Secondly, to reconstruct the consequences regarding freedom that Bergson immediately draws in departing from Kant, which illustrates the profundity and originality of his thought at the very inception of his oeuvre.
Thermal and elastic properties of hard carbon

In the present study are given thermal conductivity and elastic measurements of hard and conducting form of carbon obtained from C60 fullerene. Structural investigations provide data on the mesoscopic structural inhomogeneities that are important for the understanding of thermal and elastic properties in the material. Thermal conductivity exhibits characteristic low temperature features of a fractal structure, with a cubic behaviour on lowest temperatures due to the occurence of boundary effects. At higher temperatures, a linear temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity is observed. The sound velocity decreases linearly in the same temeprature range. Both linear regimes are characteristic of disordered structures, and are analysed using theoretical models developed for fractal and disordered structures.
Religious belief ( not necessarily) embedded in basic trust and receptivity

Questioning Erikson (1965, 1968) and Rumke (1949), the first aim of this research was to relate a sense of basic trust to various approaches to religion. A second aim was to explore a religious coping attitude of receptivity, taking a more distant view of the problem situation in question. This study explores whether the relation between basic trust and receptivity on the one hand and religiosity on the other depends on the way people approach religion. Wulff (1991, 1997) identified four approaches to religion, which can be located in a two-dimensional space in the dimensions of inclusion versus exclusion of transcendence and literal versus symbolic. Results from a sample of adults suggest that second naivete, as a measure of symbolic belief, relates positively to basic trust, whereas orthodoxy as a measure of literal belief did not. Erikson's and Rumke's statement depends on the approach to religion.
Improving Living Standards of Small Producers in Lombok Indonesia: Entrepreneurship Can Be the Key

There were indications of failure of Indonesia's agricultural credit program in terms of its inability to increase agricultural production, farmers' income, and repayment level. This paper analyses the impact of credit provision on farming activities and proposes strategies for improving livelihood of agricultural producers in Lombok, Indonesia. The analysis is based on two periods of survey conducted in Central Lombok, where the current KKP government credit scheme is provided to agricultural producers. Three villages within the regency were sampled, representing various repayment rates of government credit. Data were collected using face-to-face, semi-structured interviews with farmers who had made use of government or other sources of agricultural credit, and with key informants. This study confirmed that credit used by farmers in Lombok had little noticeable impact on increasing agricultural production (11%) and on income (5%). This marginal impact of credit use may be related to the current credit provision system in which credit is made available in limited amounts and intended for a single purpose. The repayment levels of individual farmers were quite satisfactory, in the sense that the majority of farmers have repaid their loans in full. However, their reasons for repayment were not directly related to the levels of income they earned. Rather, farmers made credit repayments for reasons for maintaining eligibility for future credit distribution, borrowers' positive personality (especially to avoid embarrassment), and providers' collection efforts. The little noticeable impact of credit, and farmers' reasons for making credit repayment, point to the need for the current system to be altered, to allow for provision of larger amounts and for multiple purposes. This move requires equipping farmers with entrepreneurship ability so that they can seek and make use of business opportunities. There is a need for education and extension programs that focus on identifying business opportunities on which credit may be used more profitably in the long term rather than just for short term seasonal survival as well as on how to run the identified businesses properly and profitably. This knowledge may help farmers to improve their living standards and allow credit provision to have a more significant impact than the current system.
Inventory of emissions from boating sources in California

This final report presents the distribution of boating fuel consumption and associated emissions in California, by waterway, county, and air basin. Two classes of small boats are considered. Pleasure boats are those craft owned by individuals and companies; used for cruising, water skiing, sport fishing and other recreational activities; and are powered by both gasoline and diesel engines. Commercial boats are those used for public transportation, commercial fishing, and other work functions such as tugboats, U.S. Coast Guard cutters, personnel and cargo hauling boats, etc. Commercial boats are powered primarily by diesel engines but there are a few gasoline powered craft. For the base year 1977, the statewide consumption of gasoline was 96,000,000 gallons and the consumption of diesel fuel was 36,000,000 gallons. The pollutant emission totals for 1977 were: SOx, 770 tons; CO, 105,000 tons; HC 26,000 tons; NOx, 3,600 tons and particulate matter 530 tons. Seasonal average daily emissions for winter and summer are shown in the report. The emission factors used in this study were obtained from EPA publication AP-42.

They decided to revisit SEPM and assemble another set of articles that reflect how SEPM had advanced over the past 20 years and offer a fresh prediction of what lies ahead.
Two-sided certification: The market for rating agencies

Certifiers contribute to the sound functioning of markets by reducing a symmetric information. They, however, have been heavily criticized during the 2008-09 financial crisis. This paper investigates on which side of the market a monopolistic profit-maximizing certifier offers his service. If the seller demands a rating, the certifier announces the product quality publicly, whereas if the buyer requests a rating it remains his private information. The model shows that the certifier offers his service to sellers and buyers to maximize his own profit with a higher share from the sellers. Overall, certifiers increase welfare in specific markets. Revenue shifts due to the financial crisis are also explained.
Music in Private Life in Late Seventeenth-Century Rome

Music stands as one of the major topics in the late sevententh-century letters of Anne-Marie de La Tremoille, married to Duke Flavio Orsini and known as Princesse des Ursins, and of her sister Louise-Angelique, wife of Antonio Lante della Rovere. Two neglected series of letters preserved in the Fondo Orsini of the Archivio Storico Capitolino and in the Fondo Lante of the Archivio di Stato di Roma give new insights into the place held by music, musicians and concerts within the social life of these two Roman families, linked to the royal court of France. The private letters of the Princesse des Ursins, who headed the francophile party in Rome, and of her sister, the Princess of Belmonte, give evidence about all kinds of musical activities, either for private entertainments (personal pratice, musical lessons, dance lessons), or for social gatherings (musical concerts and lyrical performances). Within the circle of a huge diplomatic, political and artistic network in Rome, the two sisters maintained a conversation a la francaise as it had been held in Parisian salons such as the Hotel de Rambouillet at the height of its fame. This paper has a double scope: first, it gathers new information about musical practices within Francophile circles in late seventeenth-century Rome through an analysis of these epistolary archives and a study of family inventories and account books; second, it reports and discusses a very complex case of "cultural transfer" between Paris and Rome through the efforts of two French princesses at home in their adoptive city without losing their identity. This case study documents how aristocratic women could import Parisian manners in fashion design, social entertainment and a new way of living, while at the same time giving support to Italian, rather than French, musicians and musical genres.
현대 패션에 나타난 프리다 칼로 패션 스타일에 관한 연구

Post-Modern Multiculturalism is speading in many ways and other cultural interest has led to the Latin American culture, which has steadily appeared as the main fashion concept of the international collection. Frida Kahlo(1907-1954), a representative of Latin American culture and a Mexican female surrealistic painter, who gives us some inspiration for contemporary fashion design. The purpose of this study is to have a correct understanding of and research on Latin American culture and to expand the expression of fashion design. In the process, this article examines the costume of Mexico belong to the Indio culture which had been regarded as the Other for a long time and understands Frida Kahlo`s fashion style: Tehuanas costume and her masculine style. The Tehuanas costume is a traditional style of the city, Tehuantepec, located in the southeast of Mexico, which is characterized by colorful floral patterns and a long skirt. Three fashion concepts were derived from her fashion style: tradition & modern, love & farewell, and masculine & feminine. The scope of this study investigates the Haute Couture and the Pret-?-porter women`s wear collections and photos from 1998 to 2010 in Europe, USA and South America. From classifying the collected photos into each concept, three styles such as ethnic, romantic and androgynous style were derived. These fashion styles were analyzed through the formative elements of dress, color, silhouette, pattern, material and clothing construction in order to figure out how costumes of other cultures influenced on contemporary fashion. As a design inspiration, Frida Kahlo extends her influence into innerwear, accessories and hairstyles, as well as women`s wear. These inspirations emerge steadily from the past and far into the future as an expression of a fashion design concept.
Die zweite Welle der Wiederaneignung des Corpus Aristotelicum in der frühen Neuzeit: die ethische und politische Tradition. Ein Forschungsbericht†

This paper presents a general view over the second reception of Aristotle's writings beginning after the first invasion of Western crusaders in Constantinople in 1204 and enforced after the fall of the Byzantine capital in 1453. After the turn of the century we observe a widespread commentary tradition of Aristotle's writings, particularily of his Ethics and Politics. Philipp Melanchthon became the leading figure in these ethical and political discussions. More than 53 of his works relating this which were printed within the 16 th century are known.

Integration method, device and system for computational resources

The embodiment of the invention relates to an integration method, device and system for computational resources. A data center comprises a consistency system composed of a first number of computational nodes and a non-consistency system composed of a second number of computational nodes. The computational nodes are used for providing computation resources. The method comprises following steps: obtaining information on streaming figures of the consistency system; determining strategy information of integration of computational resources based on streaming figures of the consistency system, wherein strategy information comprises node labels and migration paths of computational nodes for system migration; and integrating computational resources based on node labels and migration paths. In the embodiment provided by the integration method, device and system for computational resources, hardware components are not needed to be changed when concrete application scenes change in a data center. Due to system migration, mutual dynamic migration between the consistency system and the non-consistency system are achieved due to system migration. Therefore, system-wide optimal performance and optimal response time can be achieved.
Epitaxial GaN Layers: Low Temperature Growth Using Laser Molecular Beam Epitaxy Technique and Characterizations

Generally, the GaN growth by conventional techniques like metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) and plasma assisted- molecular beam epitaxy (PA-MBE) techniques employ a higher growth temperature (900–1000 °C in MOCVD and >720 °C in PA-MBE), in which, the probability of forming unwanted alloys or compounds with the substrate at interface will be quite high. To minimize the formation of undesirable interfacial compounds, a low temperature growth is favorable. Here, we have explored the possibility of low temperature growth of GaN layers on sapphire (0001) substrates using an ultra-high vacuum laser assisted molecular beam epitaxy (LMBE) system under different growth conditions. GaN epitaxial layers have been grown by laser ablating liquid Ga metal and polycrystalline solid GaN targets in the presence of active nitrogen environment supplied by radio frequency nitrogen plasma source. The structural and optical properties of the epitaxial GaN layers were characterized using reflection high energy electron diffraction, high resolution x-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy, secondary ion mass spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The low temperature LMBE grown GaN layers showed high crystalline structures with a screw dislocation density in the range of 107 cm−2 as calculated from the x-ray rocking measurements along (0002) plane, which is the lowest value obtained so far using LMBE technique. A strong near band-edge photoluminescence emission has been obtained for the grown GaN layers at room temperature with a relatively weak yellow band emission. Our results indicate that the LMBE technique is capable of growing high quality III-nitride crystalline films at a relatively lower growth temperature compared to the conventional growth techniques.
District leaders as open networks: emerging business strategies in Italian industrial districts

Italian industrial districts are no longer self-contained systems of small firms, where firms' competitiveness is the result of physical proximity and links with global economy are limited to export sales. A new generation of firms is taking the lead, reshaping the form of districts through their innovative strategies focused on R&D, design and ICT. Most of these firms are leaders within their markets and organize their value chains by coupling district knowledge and competencies with opportunities offered by globalization processes. The rise of these open networks contributes to the transformation of industrial districts and the real drivers of the district firm's competitiveness. Based on a survey of 650 Italian SMEs from 41 Italian districts, the paper describes the characteristics of this new firm model, compared to the traditional district one. The paper also discusses implications for districts in terms of innovation dynamics and governance.
