Bibliographics for the 983 eprints in the live archives of E-LIS : trends and status report up to 7th July 2004, based on author-self-archiving metadata
No full textThe priority for ideas and philosophy related to "Network Theory" have been traced back and documented by Braun(2004),and credit goes to Karinthy(1929).The IT has empowered to realise it, as the most practical phenomena and it is no more a humour. The OAI (Open Archives Initiatives)and ACIS (Academic Contributor Information System)are progressive in the direction ,which may lead to realise the "Collective Genius" at global level. Focus of present study is on Author-Self-Archiving (A-S-A)Metadata of the 983 Eprints in the Live Archives of the E-LIS (EPrints of Library and Information Science),which were approved till 7th July 2004.The A-S-A Metadata was used for librametric analysis. Self-explanatory bibliographics are illustrated.The highlights include: Conference papers (34%); highest approval, June 2004 (28%); published archives (76%);not refereed (52%); not in public domain (60%); highest self-archiving-author (De Robbio, Antonella).The Nos. of EPrints having single JITA domain specifications were: Theoretical and general aspects of libraries and information(27); Information use and sociology of information(80);Users,literacy and reading(13);Libraries as physical collections(30);Publishing and legal issues(57);Management(13);Industry, profession and education(36);Information sources, supports, channels(113) ; Information treatment for information services, Information functions and techniques (101); Technical services libraries, archives and museums(25); Housing technologies(1); Information technology and library technology(92); and Inter-domainery (395) i.e. having specifications of two or more than two JITA classes
A Unified Shell model for Buoyancy-Driven Turbulence
No full textWe construct a unified shell model for stably stratified and convective turbulence. Shell model simulation of stably stratified flow in turbulent regime exhibit Bolgiano-Obukhbov (BO) scaling in which the kinetic energy spectrum varies as . However, simulation of convective turbulence shows Kolmogorov's spectrum. These results are consistent with the direct numerical simulations of Kumar {\em et al.} [Phys. Rev. E {\bf 90}, 023016 (2014)]. We also observe a dual scaling ( and ) for a limited range of parameters in stably stratified flow

Generative models for predictive UI design tools
No full textUser interface (UI) design is a central part of the mobile app creation process, which involves specifying the elements that should be placed on a screen, and how they should be arranged and styled. This paper introduces a generative model approach to predictive design for mobile UI layouts. Given a partial UI design, the model predicts the next UI element that should be added to the layout. Moreover, the model can be used queried multiple times in succession to autocomplete an entire UI screen. To power this design interaction, we present two types of models: generative adversarial networks (GANs) [7] and variational auto-encoders (VAEs) [15]. We train the GAN and VAE models over 1949 mobile UIs that represent a variety of screen types (e.g. Login, Onboarding), and compare both models along standard and design-based metrics, identifying key tradeoffs. Finally, we present a mobile UI mockup tool that leverages the GAN-based model to support a predictive design workflow.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2021-05-01The student, Jason Situ, accepted the attached license on 2019-04-25 at 21:57.The student, Jason Situ, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2019-04-25 at 22:10.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2019-04-26 at 11:13.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #13938 on 2019-08-22 at 15:08:48Made available in DSpace on 2019-08-23T20:36:13Z (GMT).

Multivariate Quantitative Representativeness and Constituency Analysis of Ecological Observation Networks
Author: Jitendra (Jitu) Kumar ([email protected]), Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Regional and global ecological research networks, representing coordinated and standardized as well as adhoc networks of observation sites, provide valuable observations necessary for ecological modeling and synthesis studies. Studies conducted across observational networks strive to scale up their results to larger areas, trying to reach conclusions that are valid throughout regional, continental, and even global scales. Network representativeness and constituency can show how well conditions at those locations represent conditions elsewhere within a larger area containing the network and can be used to help scale-up results over larger regions.
Representativeness: Euclidean distance between two sites plotted in multivariate environmental space can be used as an inverse measure of multivariate similarity to quantify representativeness. Close sites in environmental space have a similar combination of environmental factors, and therefore are highly representative of each other.
Constituency: For any site in the network, its Constituency represent all locations that are best represented by the multivariate environmental drivers at that site.

Non-Preemptive Flow-Time Minimization via Rejections
No full textWe consider the online problem of minimizing weighted flow-time on unrelated machines. Although much is known about this problem in the resource-augmentation setting, these results assume that jobs can be preempted. We give the first constant-competitive algorithm for the non-preemptive setting in the rejection model. In this rejection model, we are allowed to reject an epsilon-fraction of the total weight of jobs, and compare the resulting flow-time to that of the offline optimum which is required to schedule all jobs. This is arguably the weakest assumption in which such a result is known for weighted flow-time on unrelated machines. While our algorithms are simple, we need a delicate argument to bound the flow-time. Indeed, we use the dual-fitting framework, with considerable more machinery to certify that the cost of our algorithm is within a constant of the optimum while only a small fraction of the jobs are rejected
