A Low Cost Two-Tier Architecture Model For High Availability Clusters Application Load Balancing
This article proposes a design and implementation of a low cost two-tier
architecture model for high availability cluster combined with load-balancing
and shared storage technology to achieve desired scale of three-tier
architecture for application load balancing e.g. web servers. The research work
proposes a design that physically omits Network File System (NFS) server nodes
and implements NFS server functionalities within the cluster nodes, through Red
Hat Cluster Suite (RHCS) with High Availability (HA) proxy load balancing
technologies. In order to achieve a low-cost implementation in terms of
investment in hardware and computing solutions, the proposed architecture will
be beneficial. This system intends to provide steady service despite any system
components fails due to uncertainly such as network system, storage and
applications.Comment: Load balancing, high availability cluster, web server cluster
Comparative Study on Agile software development methodologies
Today-s business environment is very much dynamic, and organisations are
constantly changing their software requirements to adjust with new environment.
They also demand for fast delivery of software products as well as for
accepting changing requirements. In this aspect, traditional plan-driven
developments fail to meet up these requirements. Though traditional software
development methodologies, such as life cycle-based structured and object
oriented approaches, continue to dominate the systems development few decades
and much research has done in traditional methodologies, Agile software
development brings its own set of novel challenges that must be addressed to
satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of the valuable
software. It is a set of software development methods based on iterative and
incremental development process, where requirements and development evolve
through collaboration between self-organizing, cross-functional teams that
allows rapid delivery of high quality software to meet customer needs and also
accommodate changes in the requirements. In this paper, we significantly
identify and describe the major factors, that Agile development approach
improves software development process to meet the rapid changing business
environments. We also provide a brief comparison of agile development
methodologies with traditional systems development methodologies, and discuss
current state of adopting agile methodologies. We speculate that from the need
to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of the valuable
software, Agile software development is emerged as an alternative to
traditional plan-based software development methods. The purpose of this paper,
is to provide an in-depth understanding, the major benefits of agile
development approach to software development industry, as well as provide a
comparison study report of ASDM over TSDM.Comment: 25 pages, 25 images, 86 references used, with authors biographie

Effect of aging on the reinforcement efficiency of carbon nanotubes in epoxy matrix
The reinforcement efficiency of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in epoxy matrix was
investigated in the elastic regime. Cyclic uniaxial tensile tests were
performed at constant strain amplitude and increasing maximum strain.
Post-curing of the epoxy and its composite at a temperature close to the glass
transition temperature allowed us to explore the effect of aging on the
reinforcement efficiency of CNT. It is found that the reinforcement efficiency
is compatible with a mean field mixture rule of stress reinforcement by random
inclusions. It also diminishes when the maximum strain increased and this
effect is amplified by aging. The decrease of elastic modulus with increasing
cyclic maximum strain is quite similar to the one observed for filled
elastomers with increasing strain amplitude, a phenomenon often referred as the
Payne effect
Street Vending as an Alternative to Self-employment and a Way to Income Generation in Bangladesh
This study aimed at visualizing the role of the street vendors as a way to self-employment and income generation in Bangladesh. It was based on the survey of 152 street vendors in different areas of Dhaka. It administered a well structured questionnaire to collect the primary information and to picture the overall street vending scenario in order to show the contribution of the street vendors in self-employment and income generation of Bangladesh. The findings of the study showed that the street vendors are playing a significant role in the economic development of the country through creating the self-employment opportunities, income generation and saving a specific portion from among their income. Since for this street vending, both the vendors and the local community faced several problems the paper finally suggested that, a well management and formalization system of street vending can enrich the overall street vending scenario of the city and can bring a good prospect for the economy.
