A Framework for Optimal Deployment Schema in Component-based Systems

Abstract: The performance of distributed applications depends on the location of each component within a network. In this paper, we propose a conceptual framework for component-based software deployment. Our framework helps to establish a viable mapping of software components to network nodes which optimises application performance. 1

The Displacements Study of Birch Veneer Layers from Composition of Plywood during Water Jet Cutting Using the Finite Element Method (FEA)

This paper presents a study of the deformations of the birch veneer layer of plywood composed of veneer sheets, each with a thickness of 1.4 mm. Displacements in the longitudinal and transverse directions were analyzed in each layer of veneer from the composition of the board. Cutting pressure was applied to the surface equal to the diameter of the water jet, located in the center of the laminated wood board. Finite element analysis (FEA) does not study the breaking of the material or its elastic deformation, but only what happens from a static point of view when maximum pressure acts on the board, which causes detachment of the veneer particles. The results of the finite element analysis indicate maximum values of 0.0012 mm in the longitudinal direction of the board located in the proximity of the application of the maximum force of the water jet. Additionally, in order to analyze the recorded differences between both longitudinal and transversal displacements, estimation of statistical parameters with 95% confidence intervals (CI) was applied. The comparative results indicate that the differences are not significant for the displacements under study

Interspecies gene name extrapolation - A new approach

The use of animal models has facilitated numerous scientific developments, especially when employing "omics" technologies to study the effects of various environmental factors on humans. Our study presents a new bioinformatics pipeline suitable when the generated microarray data from animal models does not contain the necessary human gene name annotation. We conducted single color gene expression microarray on duodenum and spleen tissue obtained from pigs which have been exposed to zearalenone and Escherichia coli contamination, either alone or combined. By performing a combination of file format modifications and data alignments using various online tools as well as a command line environment, we performed the pig to human gene name extrapolation with an average yield of 58.34%, compared to 3.64% when applying more simple methods. In conclusion, while online data analysis portals on their own are of great importance in data management and assessment, our new pipeline provided a more effective approach for a situation which can be frequently encountered by researchers in the "omics" era
