A review on cloud computing adoption: an exploratory analysis
The world has been witnessed with many technological revolutions. One of them is the computing technologies. There have
been many revolutions such as mainframe computers, super computers, web technologies, Internet, grid computing, utility
computing, etc. Cloud computing is another evolutions in the field of computing and it has been evolved from the earlier
computing technologies by the integration of some of them and removing the obstacles encountered in them as a new
technology. Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Salesforce.com, are some of the organizations who provide this technology to
organizations and personal users.
Cloud computing has attracted many people, researchers, and professionals towards it Many people have done researches on it
and many articles and conference papers on varying aspects of cloud computing has been published. The purpose of this is
paper is to review those research articles and conference papers to compile the concepts and various aspects of it in order to
enlighten the concept more understandable to all varieties of people since it has been a new concept and many people are not
aware of it by using exploratory analysis as methodology. The paper focuses on the different definitions of cloud computing,
characteristics, underlying technologies, different cloud services, cloud deployment model, advantages and disadvantages of
cloud computing, cloud computing implementation issues, adoption status of cloud computing, and future research areas
Kernel estimation of residual extropy function under α-mixing dependence condition
As in the context of introducing the concept of residual entropy in the literature, Qiu and Jia (2018b) introduced the concept, residual extropy to measure the residual uncertainty of a random variable. In this work, we propose a nonparametric estimator for the residual extropy, where the observations under consideration are exhibiting α-mixing (strong mixing) dependence condition. Asymptotic properties of the estimator is derived under suitable regular conditions. A Monte Carlo simulation study is carried out to evaluate the performance of the estimator using the mean squared errors
Control of the sugarcane borers Chilo infuscatellus and Tryporyza nivella by Bactospeine, a microbial pesticide
Chilo infuscatellus and Tryporyza nivella are the important sugarcane borers of Pakistan and are
being controlled mostly by chemicals. Microbial control has not been tried in Pakistan. Therefore, grqnules
and wettable powder of Bactospeine were tested against sugarcane borers at Mardan. Its granular formulation
gave higher control than wettable powder
Estimation of Soil Moisture in Bare Soils of the Northern Dry Zone of the Deccan Plateau, Karnataka, using Sentinel-1 Band C imagery
Soil moisture information is acritical input to water resource allocation, irrigation scheduling and climate risk management.The date of sowing is an important decision farmers take after initial rainfall occurs based on traditional knowledge and physical estimation of soil moisture. The present study was conducted on bare agriculture fields of Siruguppasub-district in Karnataka state in India to estimate surface soil moisture us in gradar remote sensing with the aim of developing an accurate and scalable methodology
