Cloud capacity planning and HSI based optimal resource provisioning

Cloud service providers offer spot instances through highest bidding plans that are at a very economical price compared to other pricing plans, namely on-demand and reservation. The usage of spot instance enables utilization of idle resources and provide service for cost sensitive tasks. However, this approach introduces the problem of cloud capacity allocation to different pricing plans that will have impact on the task completion time. To address these issues and improve the providers revenue, in this paper a capacity planning has been carried out based on the prediction of resource requirements for each of the different resource pricing pools. The paper also presents a solution to overcome the burden faced by the service provider due to the free issue of last hour at the time of out-of-bid situation. Simulation carried out based on capacity planning along with hybrid spot instance using Amazon EC2's price show that the resource utilization is improved across the different resource pricing pools with increased number of task completion and improved provider's revenue. © 2017 IEEE

Genetic variability and correlation for nut and yield characters in arecanut (Areca catechu L.) germplasm

A study on genetic variability and correlation for nut and yield characters was carried out among 25 arecanut accessions of diverse geographic origins. High GCV and PCV values were observed for the number of female flowers/ inflorescence/palm/year, the number of nut/inflorescence, the number of nuts/palm/year, dry weight of husk, fresh fruit weight, dry weight of nut, dry weight of kernel and fresh nut yield. High estimates of heritability coupled with high genetic advance as per cent mean (GAM) were observed for stem girth above the fixed mark, the number of female flowers/inflorescence/palm/year, fruit length, fruit breadth, fresh fruit weight, kernel length, kernel breadth, dry weight of nuts, dry weight of kernel, fresh nut yield, dry kernel yield and kernel recovery indicating amenability for phenotypic selection of these characters in early generations. The observations revealed that the palm height, kernel breadth and dry weight of kernel can be considered for improvement of arecanut as these characters had high positive direct effects on the dry weight of kernel

Cluster, grid and cloud computing: A detailed comparison

Cloud computing is rapidly growing as an alternative to conventional computing. However, it is based on models like cluster computing, distributed computing, utility computing and grid computing in general. This paper presents an end-to-end comparison between Cluster Computing, Grid Computing and Cloud Computing, along with the challenges they face. This could help in better understanding these models and to know how they differ from its related concepts, all in one go. It also discusses the ongoing projects and different applications that use these computing models as a platform for execution. An insight into some of the tools which can be used in the three computing models to design and develop applications is given. This could help in bringing out the innovative ideas in the field and can be explored to the needs in the computing world. © 2011 IEEE

DESIGNING AND DEVELOPING MULTILINGUAL SUPPORT FOR WEB DEVELOPMENT FOR INDIAN LANGUAGES

This paper will focus on addressingthe major challenges and issues in case of multilingualism aspects.The construction of multilingual web sites which is the bestsolution to addressing the problem occurredin the Internet facility of diverse cultural background. But still it causes some issue as like, to developing multiple instances of the same site in different languages causes increased overhead for the website implementation phase and also for the website maintenance phase.So probablesolutions for these issuesis use of UNICODE in ICT for India. Byusing UNICODE, design of multilingualeditorforWeb designing, HTMLeditor, scriptingwhich haveIndian language support. AlsoAdoption of open standards and open source software also investigates the benefits that are used in implementation of multilingual e-governance solutions

Amberlyst-15<SUP>®</SUP>-promoted efficient 2-halogenation of 1,3-keto-esters and cyclic ketones using N-halosuccinimides

A simple and rapid process has been developed for the α-monohalogenation of 1,3-keto-esters with N-halosuccinimides catalyzed by Amberlyst-15® at room temperature to produce the corresponding 2-halo 1,3-keto-esters in high yields. This protocol also extended to α-halogenation of cyclic ketones
