Designing Parametric Constraint Based Power Aware Scheduling System in a Virtualized Cloud Environment

The increasing rate of the demand for computational resources has led to the production of largescale data centers. They consume huge amounts of electrical power resulting in high operational costs and carbon dioxide emissions. Power-related costs have become one of the major economic factors in IT data-centers, and companies and the research community are currently working on new efficient power aware resource management strategies, also known as 201C;Green IT201D;. Here we propose a framework for autonomic scheduling of tasks based upon some parametric constraints. In this paper we propose an analysis of the critical factors affecting the energy consumption of cloud servers in cloud computing and consideration to make performance very fast by using Sigar API to solve speed problems. In PCBPAS we impose some parametric constraints during task allocation to the server that can be adjusted dynamically to balance the server2019;s workloads in an efficient way so that CPU consumption can be improved and energy saving be achieved

Dose Threshold for Clinical Success in Coronary brachytherapy: a nested case-control study

Intravascular brachytherapy is the primary treatment for coronary in-stent restenosis. We hypothesized that differences in dose delivered to target may contribute to treatment failures. We compared dose distribution between arteries that developed recurrent restenosis (treatment failures) and those that remained patent at nine-months (treatment success). A cohort of 207 patients receiving brachytherapy for coronary in-stent restenosis with four radiation delivery devices was followed to identify treatment failures and successes. This cohort was examined to establish which patient and lesion characteristics had an effect on outcome. A nested case-control construct was then used in which treatment failures (n=14) were compared 1:2 to treatment successes (n=28) matched by two variables: radiation delivery system and angiographic pattern of in-stent restenosis. At baseline, the groups had similar patient and lesion characteristics. The dose absorbed by 90% of the artery encompassed by the external elastic membrane (D90EEM) was calculated using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) images taken at 2-mm intervals along the treated lesion. Dose calculations were performed using dose kernel integration techniques; the dose kernels were generated from Monte Carlo simulations. The mean D90EEM minimum dose in treatment failures was 7.46±1.98 Gy, while for treatment success the mean D90EEM minimum dose was significantly higher: 8.87±1.13 Gy (p=0.007). Using a dose threshold of 8.4 Gy, a D90EEM minimum dose ≤ 8.4 Gy occurred in 13 (93%) patients with treatment failure, but in only 9 (32%) with treatment success (p≤0.001). No confounding variables were found to be statistically significant. In conclusion, current brachytherapy dose prescriptions result in significant inter- and intra-lesion variation in dose at the EEM. Arteries that receive ≤ 8.4 Gy at any point along the EEM are more likely to be treatment failures. IVUS guided dosimetry may be critical to assure adequate dose regardless of radiation delivery system

Analysis of Demographic and Socio-Economic Profile of Tribal Households in Himachal Pradesh

This paper is an attempt to analyse the prevailing demographic and socio-economic conditions among the tribal households in Himachal Pradesh. For this purpose, multistage random sampling is used to select 439 tribal households from all the seven community development blocks of Himachal Pradesh for the year 2013-14. The analysis of family composition reveals the fact that the average size of the family has been showing an increasing tendency with an increase in the size of land holdings. The sex ratio comes out to be the highest on small holdings followed by marginal holdings and it is the lowest in case of semi-medium holdings. The literacy ratio shows an increasing tendency with an increase in the size of land holdings. The percentage share of earners is the highest on the semi-medium holdings as compared to small holdings and lowest on the marginal holdings. This paper will be helpful in carrying out the further extensive analysis and showing a way to improve the existing socio-economic status of tribal population in Himachal Pradesh

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CREATING A DATABASE 2 (Db2) CONNECTOR SUPPORT IN A DATAHUB

The present disclosure relates to a method and a system for creating a Database 2 (Db2) connector support for a datahub. The present disclosure suggests obtaining the input data sources from a Db2 database. Thereafter, the obtained data sources are ingested into the datahub. Subsequently, a metadata change proposal is generated based on the Db2 sources. Further, the generated metadata change proposal is sent to the datahub though the data sinks, wherein the data sinks include REST API and Kafka

Whole-Body Bilateral Teleoperation of a Redundant Aerial Manipulator

Attaching a robotic manipulator to a flying base allows for significant improvements in the reachability and versatility of manipulation tasks. In order to explore such systems while taking advantage of human capabilities in terms of perception and cognition, bilateral teleoperation arises as a reasonable solution. However, since most telemanipulation tasks require visual feedback in addition to the haptic one, real-time (task-dependent) positioning of a video camera, which is usually attached to the flying base, becomes an additional objective to be fulfilled. Since the flying base is part of the kinematic structure of the robot, if proper care is not taken, moving the video camera could undesirably disturb the end-effector motion. For that reason, the necessity of controlling the base position in the null space of the manipulation task arises. In order to provide the operator with meaningful information about the limits of the allowed motions in the null space, this paper presents a novel haptic concept called Null-Space Wall. In addition, a framework to allow stable bilateral teleoperation of both tasks is presented. Numerical simulation data confirm that the proposed framework is able to keep the system passive while allowing the operator to perform time-delayed telemanipulation and command the base to a task-dependent optimal pose.Comment: to be published in 2020 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA

China’s Pivot to Kenya: Challenges for Kenya behind COVID and BRI for its ‘Vision 2030’

Kenya is dependent on China to speed up its national development strategies following its ‘Vision 2030’ plan because it finds Chinese loans comparatively better than other loans because of varied reasons explained in the paper. Chinese Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has increased in Kenya as China finds it feasible to invest in the region looking at the viability of the project. The paper aims to see whether Kenya is benefiting from China’s partnership and how effectively it helps to expand Kenya’s economy. The paper also understands China-Kenya relations along the lines of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and all the infrastructural projects in Kenya. The paper examines the debt-trap diplomacy of China and brings front how the pandemic is accelerating the Kenyan economy’s downfall into China’s hands

Enhancing the Command-Following Bandwidth for Transparent Bilateral Teleoperation

© 2018 IEEE. Enhancing transparency of a teleoperation system by increasing the command-following bandwidth has not received lots of attention so far. This is considered a challenging task since in a teleoperation system the command-following bandwidth of the slave robot motion controller cannot be increased with a conventional motion controller as the desired trajectory is instantaneously commanded by the human user and thus, cannot be considered to be given in a pre-computed, smooth second order derivative form. We propose a method to increase the command-following bandwidth by extending the previously introduced Successive Stiffness Increment (SSI) approach to bilateral teleoperation. The approach allows realizing a very high motion controller gain, which cannot be realized with a conventional bilateral teleoperation controller as confirmed by experimental results
