Distributed Monte Carlo Simulation

Monte Carlo simulation is an effective way to analyze models of sophisticated problems, but often suffers from high computational complexity. Distributed computing is an effective technology that can be used for compute-intensive applications, such as Monte Carlo simulation. The goal of this thesis is to combine the concepts of Monte Carlo simulation and distributed computing in an effort to develop an efficient system capable of rapidly executing computationally-demanding simulations.;When distributed computing is used to support the simulations of multiple users, a scheduling algorithm is required to allocate resources among the users\u27 jobs. In this thesis, a scheduling algorithm is developed that is suitable for Monte Carlo simulation and utilizes the available distributed-computing resources. The unified framework for scheduling is capable of accommodating classic scheduling algorithms such as equal job share, first-in first-out (FIFO), and proportional fair scheduling. The behavior of the scheduler can be controlled by just three parameters. By choosing appropriate parameter values, individual users and their jobs can be assigned different priorities. By introducing an appropriate analytical model, the role of these parameters on system behavior is thoroughly investigated. Using insights obtained by studying the analytical model, a complete distributed Monte Carlo system is designed and presented as a case study

TO ERADICATE THE HARMONICS AT MICROGRID BY USING DUAL INTERFACING CIRCUIT

The burgeoning machinery of scattered step (DG) units in low intensity disposal systems has popularized the idea of nonlinear responsibility in chorus tide salary the use of multi function DG merge preacher. It is analyzed during this card that one the salary of character pile melodic flood the use of a particular DG publicize messenger may lead to the elaboration of afford potential in choruss to delicate weights, specifically much as the most framework intensity is extremely gnarled. To deal with that inhibition, unrelated the effort of regular consolidated management high quality cordial including streak messenger, a new at the same time deliver potential and network stream consonant indemnity plan is expected the use of coordinated keep watch over of 2 sway publicize pastor. Specifically, the 1st preacher hearten resident responsibility contribute electricity symphonic obliteration. The moment messenger is recognizable dull the in chorus tide composed individually communication enclosed by the 1st fuse preacher and the inhabitant nonlinear responsibility. To get an easy keep watch over of parallel messenger, a diminished amalgam heat and modern keep an eye onler is likewise train the card. By the use of that expected regulateler, the network heat phase-locked twist and the unmasking of one's weight river and the contribute heat consonants are futile for the two fuse pastor. Thus, the computational weight of publicize messenger can be moderately shortened. Simulated and empirical results are captured to justify the opera of your planned geopolitics and the regulate approach

A Framework for Secure Cloud-Empowered Mobile Biometrics

Abstract-In this work, we describe how computationally intensive biometric recognition can be performed on a mobile device by offloading the actual recognition process to the cloud. We focus on facial recognition, though the paradigm can be applied to other modalities. We discuss a systematic approach for dividing a recognition operation and a bulk enrollment operation into multiple tasks, which can be executed in parallel on a set of servers in the cloud, and show how the results from each task can be combined and post-processed for individual recognition or template database generation. In the context of biometrics, preserving the privacy and security of biometric data is also of paramount interest. Therefore, we further explore the role of cancelable template generation for providing privacy protection when biometric data is stored in a cloud environment

Rationally developed organic salts of tolfenamic acid and its β-alanine derivatives for dual purposes as an anti-inflammatory topical gel and anticancer agent

A new series of primary ammonium monocarboxylate (PAM) salts of a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), namely, tolfenamic acid (TA), and its β-alanine derivatives were generated. Nearly 67 % of the salts in the series showed gelling abilities with various solvents, including water (biogenic solvent) and methyl salicylate (typically used for topical gel formulations). Gels were characterized by rheology, electron microscopy, and so forth. Structure–property correlations based on single-crystal and powder XRD data of several gelator and nongelator salts revealed intriguing insights. Studies (in vitro) on an aggressive human breast cancer cell line (MDA-MB-231) with the l-tyrosine methyl ester salt of TA (S7) revealed that the hydrogelator salt was more effective at killing cancer cells than the mother drug TA (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay); displayed better anti-inflammatory activity compared with that of TA (prostaglandin E2 assay); could be internalized within the cancer cells, as revealed by fluorescence microscopy; and inhibited effectively migration of the cancer cells. Thus, the easily accessible ambidextrous gelator salt S7 can be used for two purposes: as an anti-inflammatory topical gel and as an anticancer agent
