A Review Paper on Management of Big Data
Big Data is everywhere around us.In previous era,there is an increase in demand of big data,business analytics and work environment.The big data is dominantly practice-driven,the corporations are exploring how big volume of data can be used to produce and store values for the company and governments.Though the machine learning and web analytics is to guess the action of the individuals,choice of the consumer or search action.Big Data is rapid tool that not only study patterns, but also give the diving possibility of an event.Corporations have stepped on the trend of using the big capacity of data that is forever increasing,often in terra or petabytes,to better guess results with large accuracy.The United Nation has passed another initiative named Global Pulse that manipulates new digital data sources such as mobile calls or mobile payments.Now big data has become a mainstream as a corporate terms,there is a small published management scholarship that handles the provocation of using such tools.In this research paper, we explore about the concepts of Big Data and how to manage it

A validated stability-indicating HPLC method for determination of varenicline in its bulk and tablets
A simple, sensitive and accurate stability-indicating HPLC method has been developed and validated for determination of varenicline (VRC) in its bulk form and pharmaceutical tablets. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a Zorbax Eclipse XDB-C8 column (150 mm × 4.6 mm i.d., particle size 5 μm, maintained at ambient temperature) by a mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile and 50 mM potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer (10:90, v/v) with apparent pH of 3.5 ± 0.1 and a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. The detection wavelength was set at 235 nm. VRC was subjected to different accelerated stress conditions. The degradation products, when any, were well resolved from the pure drug with significantly different retention time values. The method was linear (r = 0.9998) at a concentration range of 2 - 14 μg/ml. The limit of detection and limit of quantitation were 0.38 and 1.11 μg/ml, respectively. The intra- and inter-assay precisions were satisfactory; the relative standard deviations did not exceed 2%. The accuracy of the method was proved; the mean recovery of VRC was 100.10 ± 1.08%. The proposed method has high throughput as the analysis involved short run-time (~ 6 min). The method met the ICH/FDA regulatory requirements. The proposed method was successfully applied for the determination of VRC in bulk and tablets with acceptable accuracy and precisions; the label claim percentages were 99.65 ± 0.32%. The results demonstrated that the method would have a great value when applied in quality control and stability studies for VRC
Conjunctions of Among Constraints
Many existing global constraints can be encoded as a conjunction of among
constraints. An among constraint holds if the number of the variables in its
scope whose value belongs to a prespecified set, which we call its range, is
within some given bounds. It is known that domain filtering algorithms can
benefit from reasoning about the interaction of among constraints so that
values can be filtered out taking into consideration several among constraints
simultaneously. The present pa- per embarks into a systematic investigation on
the circumstances under which it is possible to obtain efficient and complete
domain filtering algorithms for conjunctions of among constraints. We start by
observing that restrictions on both the scope and the range of the among
constraints are necessary to obtain meaningful results. Then, we derive a
domain flow-based filtering algorithm and present several applications. In
particular, it is shown that the algorithm unifies and generalizes several
previous existing results.Comment: 15 pages plus appendi
High genetic diversity at the extreme range edge: nucleotide variation at nuclear loci in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) in Scotland
Nucleotide polymorphism at 12 nuclear loci was studied in Scots pine populations across an environmental gradient in Scotland, to evaluate the impacts of demographic history and selection on genetic diversity. At eight loci, diversity patterns were compared between Scottish and continental European populations. At these loci, a similar level of diversity (θsil=~0.01) was found in Scottish vs mainland European populations, contrary to expectations for recent colonization, however, less rapid decay of linkage disequilibrium was observed in the former (ρ=0.0086±0.0009, ρ=0.0245±0.0022, respectively). Scottish populations also showed a deficit of rare nucleotide variants (multi-locus Tajima's D=0.316 vs D=−0.379) and differed significantly from mainland populations in allelic frequency and/or haplotype structure at several loci. Within Scotland, western populations showed slightly reduced nucleotide diversity (πtot=0.0068) compared with those from the south and east (0.0079 and 0.0083, respectively) and about three times higher recombination to diversity ratio (ρ/θ=0.71 vs 0.15 and 0.18, respectively). By comparison with results from coalescent simulations, the observed allelic frequency spectrum in the western populations was compatible with a relatively recent bottleneck (0.00175 × 4Ne generations) that reduced the population to about 2% of the present size. However, heterogeneity in the allelic frequency distribution among geographical regions in Scotland suggests that subsequent admixture of populations with different demographic histories may also have played a role
Development of Photonic Crystal Fiber Based Gas/ Chemical Sensors
The development of highly-sensitive and miniaturized sensors that capable of
real-time analytes detection is highly desirable. Nowadays, toxic or colorless
gas detection, air pollution monitoring, harmful chemical, pressure, strain,
humidity, and temperature sensors based on photonic crystal fiber (PCF) are
increasing rapidly due to its compact structure, fast response and efficient
light controlling capabilities. The propagating light through the PCF can be
controlled by varying the structural parameters and core-cladding materials, as
a result, evanescent field can be enhanced significantly which is the main
component of the PCF based gas/chemical sensors. The aim of this chapter is to
(1) describe the principle operation of PCF based gas/ chemical sensors, (2)
discuss the important PCF properties for optical sensors, (3) extensively
discuss the different types of microstructured optical fiber based gas/
chemical sensors, (4) study the effects of different core-cladding shapes, and
fiber background materials on sensing performance, and (5) highlight the main
challenges of PCF based gas/ chemical sensors and possible solutions
Trust Perceptions of Online Travel Information by Different Content Creators: Some Social and Legal Implications
Consumers are increasingly turning to the online
environment to provide information to assist them in
making purchase decisions related to travel products. They
often rely on travel recommendations from different
sources, such as sellers, independent experts and, increasingly,
other consumers. A new type of online content, usergenerated
content (UGC), provides a number of legal and
social challenges to providers and users of that content,
especially in relation to areas such as defamation, misrepresentation
and social embarrassment. This paper reports
research that examined the level of trustworthiness of
online travel information from these different sources. The
study used a survey of Australian travel consumers (n=
12,000) and results support the notion that there are
differences in the level of trust for online travel information
from different sources. Respondents ‘tended to agree’ that
they trusted information provided by travel agents, information
from commercial operators and comments made by
travellers on third party websites. However, the highest
level of trust was afforded to information provided on State
government tourism websites. These results suggest that
greater trust is placed in online travel comments when they
are on a specific travel website than when they are on a
more generic social networking website. However, respondents
were ‘not sure’ that they trusted comments made by
travellers on weblogs and on social networking sites. Some
88% of respondents that had not visited UGC websites (or
were unsure if they had) indicated that they thought that
UGC would be useful in the future – suggesting that they
feel that any concerns they may have in relation to legal and
social problems resulting from its use will be resolved
