    On the Solution of Linear Programming Problems in the Age of Big Data

    Full text link
    The Big Data phenomenon has spawned large-scale linear programming problems. In many cases, these problems are non-stationary. In this paper, we describe a new scalable algorithm called NSLP for solving high-dimensional, non-stationary linear programming problems on modern cluster computing systems. The algorithm consists of two phases: Quest and Targeting. The Quest phase calculates a solution of the system of inequalities defining the constraint system of the linear programming problem under the condition of dynamic changes in input data. To this end, the apparatus of Fejer mappings is used. The Targeting phase forms a special system of points having the shape of an n-dimensional axisymmetric cross. The cross moves in the n-dimensional space in such a way that the solution of the linear programming problem is located all the time in an "-vicinity of the central point of the cross.Comment: Parallel Computational Technologies - 11th International Conference, PCT 2017, Kazan, Russia, April 3-7, 2017, Proceedings (to be published in Communications in Computer and Information Science, vol. 753

    The primary function of government is to serve the public. To increase the public satisfaction is one of the efforts to improve the quality of public services. The service of trade business license (SIUP) for investing agriculture activities (agribusiness) is one of licensing service types that organized by BPPTSP and PM Of the Denpasar Municipality . The purpose of this study was to analyze the role of variables between the behavior of services and service standards to the satisfaction levels of public and influence the level of peoples satisfaction with the use of an agency service in processing Agribusiness trade license (SIUP ) in BPPTSP and PM of the Denpasar Municipality. The number of samples was determined by 90 respondents who have had SIUP with agribusiness activity period of 2010 s/d 2013. Data Technical Analysis used Partial Least Square (PLS) with the Smart PLS program. The results showed that the behavior of the service variables have a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.956 with the value of the contribution (R2) greater than 0.914 standard variable satisfaction level of service to the public, showed a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.930 with the value of the contribution (R2) 0.865. Based on the result of R2 values, it means the better behavior of the service makes the higher level of public satisfaction. The good quality of service behavior will give an impact on the quality of service satisfaction. The Good quality of service behavior in BPPTSP and PM of Denpasar municipality will increase public satisfaction and encourage the Applicants to submit SIUP agribusiness independently. The level of public satisfaction proved positive and significant effect on service bureau services. It shown by the path parameter coefficients positive value of 0.859 with a statistic of 24.879 (t-statistic> 2.58), so that the level of public satisfaction has positive influence on the use of service bureaus in BPPTSP and PM of Denpasar municipality. The conclusion is although the public satisfaction in good level of service behavior but in reality the communities still using bureau services for helping to submit of agribusiness trade license . It caused the use of agency services are considered more practical

    Theory of plasmon-enhanced high-harmonic generation in the vicinity of metal nanostructures in noble gases

    Full text link
    We present a semiclassical model for plasmon-enhanced high-harmonic generation (HHG) in the vicinity of metal nanostructures. We show that both the inhomogeneity of the enhanced local fields and electron absorption by the metal surface play an important role in the HHG process and lead to the generation of even harmonics and to a significantly increased cutoff. For the examples of silver-coated nanocones and bowtie antennas we predict that the required intensity reduces by up to three orders of magnitudes and the HHG cutoff increases by more than a factor of two. The study of the enhanced high-harmonic generation is connected with a finite-element simulation of the electric field enhancement due to the excitation of the plasmonic modes.Comment: 4 figure

    In recent years, there has been an increase in the consumption of energy drinks, containing besides calories, other ingredients suspected to boost mental, emotional and physical alertness of the consumers. Such drinks are widely consumed by young people for a variety of reasons. However, from a public health point of view, little seems to be understood of the health benefits and other implications of these drinks by their consumers. Therefore, the understanding that energy drinks have stimulating properties that can boost heart beat rate and blood pressure, dehydrate the body, aggravate the effects of other stimulants, and prevent sleep may help as a decision making tools for the consumers of such products. This review examines some of the important active ingredients of energy drinks, their origins, sources, benefits and side effects. It is concluded that energy drinks, despite the variations in brand name contain bio-active ingredients; therefore further research is needed on their potential hazards.Keywords: Energy drinks, Composition, Effects, Consumer

    Let DD be a bounded domain in Rn,\mathbb R^n, with smooth boundary. Denote VD(ω,t), ωSn1,tR,V_D(\omega,t), \ \omega \in S^{n-1}, t \in \mathbb R, the Radon transform of the characteristic function χD\chi_{D} of the domain D,D, i.e., the (n1)(n-1)- dimensional volume of the intersection DD with the hyperplane {xRn:=t}.\{x \in \mathbb R^n: =t \}. If the domain DD is an ellipsoid, then the function VDV_D is algebraic and if, in addition, the dimension nn is odd, then V(ω,t)V(\omega,t) is a polynomial with respect to t.t. Whether odd-dimensional ellipsoids are the only bounded smooth domains with such a property? The article is devoted to partial verification and discussion of this question

    We discuss several topics of homological algebra for the Lie superalgebra osp(1|2n). First we focus on Bott-Kostant cohomology, which yields classical results although the cohomology is not given by the kernel of the Kostant quabla operator. Based on this cohomology we can derive strong Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand resolutions for finite dimensional osp(1|2n)-modules. Then we state the Bott-Borel-Weil theorem which follows immediately from the Bott-Kostant cohomology by using the Peter-Weyl theorem for osp(1|2n). Finally we calculate the projective dimension of irreducible and Verma modules in the category O

    So far, the owners of capital are always keen to invest in the stock market, however not all companies listed on the stock exchange will have a big investor. This is partly due to price fluctuations, investors can also look at the future prospects of the company, does provide a substantial or not. As agribusiness companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange Index 45 for LQ is still very slow progress compared to other companies, so investors are less keen to invest in the company, so the performance is rather low. The problem formulated in this study is a variable fixed assets, long-term debt and capital affect net income in the agribusiness firm LQ 45 index listed in the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2007 until the year 2010?. The variable is the most dominant effect on net income in the agribusiness firm LQ 45 index listed in the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2007 until the year 2010?. The purpose of this study was conducted to analyze and to determine the effect of variable fixed assets, long-term debt and equity to net income in the agribusiness firm LQ 45 index listed in the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2007 until 2010. And to determine the most dominant variable effect between fixed assets, long-term debt and equity to net income in the agribusiness firm LQ 45 index listed in the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2007 until 2010. Xi variables jointly influence the variables Y1 at 72.89%, which means that the fluctuations or variations amounted to 72.89% variable Y1 influenced or caused by variable Xi together, and the remaining 27.11% or (1 - R2 = 1-72 , 89%) were caused by other factors or other variables. Partially only 2 independent variables Xi which significantly affect the dependent variable Y1 fixed assets (X1) and capital (X3), and other independent variables Xi (loans) have not significant (p> 0.05) to the dependent variable Y1 free. This means that each additional 1.00 USD fixed assets (X1) will result in a decrease in net income (Y1) significantly by Rp 0.309, and any additional capital to Rp 1.00 (X3) will lead to an increase in net income (Y1) is real Rp 0.528. The independent variable X3 is the most dominant effect on the dependent variable Y1 with a value of 8.864 with a chance F-hitung 0.005 (very real). The two dominant variables are X1 F-hitung value of 47.541 with a chance of 0.000 (very real)
