Improving the network transmission cost of differentiated web services
This paper investigates into the transmission cost of web services related messages which is affected by network
latency. Web services enable seamless interaction and integration of e-business applications. Web services contain a
collection of operations so as to interact with outside world over the Internet through XML messaging. Though XML
effectively describe message related information and is fairly human readable, it badly affects the performance of Web
services in terms of transmission cost, processing cost, and so on. This paper aims to minimize network latency of message
communication of Web services by employing pre-emptive resume scheduling. Fundamental principle of this approach is the
provision of preferential treatment to some messages as compared to others. This approach assigns different priorities to
distinct classes of messages given the fact that some messages may tolerate longer delays than others. For instance, shorter
messages may be given higher priority than longer messages, or the Web service provider may give higher priority to the
messages of paying subscribers
Stack-run adaptive wavelet image compression
We report on the development of an adaptive wavelet image coder based on stack-run representation of the quantized coefficients. The coder works by selecting an optimal wavelet packet basis for the given image and encoding the quantization indices for significant coefficients and zero runs between coefficients using a 4-ary arithmetic coder. Due to the fact that our coder exploits the redundancies present within individual subbands, its addressing complexity is much lower than that of the wavelet zerotree coding algorithms. Experimental results show coding gains of up to 1:4dB over the benchmark wavelet coding algorithm
The Induction and Evaluation of Productive Semidwarf Mutants of Basmati-370
Dry, uniform seeds of Basmati 370 with about 14% moisture content were exposed to 0, 15,20 and
25kR doses of gamma rays (60Co source). Twenty one semi-dwarf mutants were selected from 36,000 M2
plants originating from about 12,000 Ml plants. The breeding behaviour of these mutants was studied
in M3 and consequently 6 mutants were selected. The comparative yield test of mutants with mother
cultivar Basmati-370, established the high yield potential and semi-dwarf plant posture of mutant strains.
The other plant attributes as well as physico-chemical traits of the mutants and parent cultivar are also
presented
SOUTH CHINA SEA: THE CHINESE APPROACH
The international community has shown considerable interest in China's assertiveness in the South China Sea in recent times. The objective of this study is to examine the strengths and weaknesses that form the foundation of Chinese strategies, and decipher the underlying motives and strategies employed by China in its pursuits. The paper evaluates China's current position in the South China Sea and its effects on regional stability and global geopolitics. The findings reveal that China follows a holistic approach with significant infrastructure, diplomatic, and regional geopolitical gains. These efforts expose risks such as regional alliance tensions, international legal framework complexity and though rare but potential armed engagements.

ANALISIS KINERJA PERSONEL FLIGHT OPERATIONS OFFICER (FOO) PT. GAPURA ANGKASA TERHADAP KESELAMATAN PENERBANGAN DI BANDAR UDARA INTERNASIONAL YOGYA KARTA
Keselamatan penerbangan merupakan suatu hal yang sangat penting dalam sebuah penerbangan, ataubisa dikatakan bahwa keselamatan penerbangan adalah kondisi suatu penerbangan yang berjalan dengan lancar dan aman dari stasiun keberangkatan hingga tiba di stasiun tujuan. Termasuk personel Flight Operations Officer yang dalam hal ini harus memperhatikan aspek keselamatan dan keamanan dalam suatu penerbangan, sehingga personel FOO dituntut untuk memiliki ketelitian dan kedisiplinan dalam melakukan tugas dan tanggung jawabnya agar suatupenerbangan dapat berjalan dengan selamat dan aman. Metode penelitian kualitatif digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Wawancara dan observasi partisipan digunakan sebagai data primer, dan data yang didapat dari kantor operations PT Gapura Angkasa Yogyakarta beserta dokumentasi digunakan sebagai data sekunder dalam penelitian ini, selain itu informasi dari publikasi ilmiah, artikel atau penelitian terdahulu yang berkaitan dengan penelitian yang dilakukan oleh peneliti digunakan sebagai data sekunder dalam penelitian ini. Teknik analisis data dalam penelitian ini menggunakan reduksi data, penyajian data dan penarikan kesimpulan. Berdasarkan data yang didapat dari penelitian ini yang berjudul Kinerja personel Flight Operations Officer (FOO) terhadap keselamatan penerbangan di Bandar Udara Internasional Yogyakarta bahwasannya personel FOO di lapangan sudah melakukan pekerjaanya dengan baik dalam memberikan pelayanankepada suatu penerbangan yang ditanganinya, baik berupa pemberian informasi data flight plan, information weather, notam-notam dan briefing sudah dilakukan dengan baik , namun juga dalam penelitian ini ditemukan adanya beberapa kendala yang personel temui di lapangan yaitu keterbatasan SDM dan juga keterbatasan sarana dan pra-sarana lainnya, seperti Jaringan internet, supplai kertas, tinta, printer dan komputer yang kerap menjadi hambatan bagi personel FOO yang akan bekerja di lapangan
Demonstration of Optical Nonlinearity in InGaAsP/InP Passive Waveguides
We report on the study of the third-order nonlinear optical interactions in
InGaAsP/InP strip-loaded waveguides. The material
composition and waveguide structures were optimized for enhanced nonlinear
optical interactions. We performed self-phase modulation, four-wave mixing and
nonlinear absorption measurements at the pump wavelength 1568 nm in our
waveguides. The nonlinear phase shift of up to has been observed in
self-phase modulation experiments. The measured value of the two-photon
absorption coefficient was 15 cm/GW. The four-wave mixing conversion
range, representing the wavelength difference between maximally separated
signal and idler spectral components, was observed to be 45 nm. Our results
indicate that InGaAsP has a high potential as a material platform for nonlinear
photonic devices, provided that the operation wavelength range outside the
two-photon absorption window is selected
The roman conquered by delay: reducing the number of preemptions using sleep states
Sleep-states are emerging as a first-class design choice
in energy minimization. A side effect of this is that the release
behavior of the system is affected and subsequently the
preemption relations between tasks. In a first step we have
investigated how the behavior in terms of number of preemptions
of tasks in the system is changed at runtime, using
an existing procrastination approach, which utilizes sleepstates
for energy savings purposes. Our solution resulted
in substantial savings of preemptions and we expect from
even higher yields for alternative energy saving algorithms.
This work is intended to form the base of future research,
which aims to bound the number of preemptions at analysis
time and subsequently how this may be employed in the
analysis to reduced the amount of system utilization, which
is reserved to account for the preemption delay
