Lefroyothrips varatharajani Rachana & Manjunath
No full textLefroyothrips varatharajani Rachana & Manjunath (Figs 6, 16, 24–26) Lefroyothrips varatharajani Rachana & Manjunath, 2020: 592 Based on 16 females and 8 males from Mimusops elengi taken 11.iii. 2020 in India, Bengaluru, this species is here recorded from Western Australia and New Caledonia. This distribution seems remarkable but is not greatly different from that indicated above for L. fasciatus. The specimens studied listed below agree fully with the recent detailed description of this species. It is probably closely related to L. lefroyi but has the metascutum only weakly reticulate (cf Figs 14, 16). Female macroptera. Body and legs yellow, posterior tergites brownish-yellow; antennal segments IV–VI brown or with brown marking (Fig. 6); fore wings pale with two short shaded areas, at veinal fork and subapically. With the character states of the generic diagnosis. Ocellar setae pair III slightly shorter than distance between posterior ocelli (Fig. 24); postocular setae in single row with S2 sometimes slightly displaced posteriorly. Metascutum weakly reticulate (Fig. 16), CPS on posterior third of sclerite and slightly variable in position. Fore wing first vein distally with 1 or 2 setae. Sternite VII setae S2 arise at posterior margin. Male macroptera. Similar to female; tergite VIII with long comb, IX with 3 pairs of stout setae (Fig. 25); sternites III–VII with transverse pore plate close to anterior margin (Fig. 26). Specimens studied. Western Australia, Kununnura, Frank Wise Institute, 2 females from grasses, 24.ii.2005 (LAM). New Caledonia, La Foa, 2 females, 4 males from Pouteria sapota fls, 9.iv.2012 (LAM) (in ANIC).Published as part of Mound, L. A. & Ng, Y.

Distributed PC Based Routers: Bottleneck Analysis and Architecture Proposal
No full textRecent research in the different functional areas of modern routers have made proposals that can greatly increase the efficiency of these machines. Most of these proposals can be implemented quickly and often efficiently in software. We wish to use personal computers as forwarders in a network to utilize the advances made by researchers. We therefore examine the ability of a personal computer to act as a router. We analyze the performance of a single general purpose computer and show that I/O is the primary bottleneck. We then study the performance of distributed router composed of multiple general purpose computers. We study the performance of a star topology and through experimental results we show that although its performance is good, it lacks flexibility in its design. We compare it with a multistage architecture. We conclude with a proposal for an architecture that provides us with a forwarder that is both flexible and scalable.© IEE
Minimizing Absolute Gaussian Curvature Locally
No full textOne of the remaining challenges when reconstructing a surface from a
finite sample is recovering non-smooth surface features like sharp
edges. There is practical evidence showing that a two step approach
could be an aid to this problem, namely, first computing a
polyhedral reconstruction isotopic to the sampled surface, and
secondly minimizing the absolute Gaussian curvature of this
reconstruction globally. The first step ensures topological
correctness and the second step improves the geometric accuracy of
the reconstruction in the presence of sharp features without
changing its topology. Unfortunately it is computationally hard to
minimize the absolute Gaussian curvature globally. Hence we study a
local variant of absolute Gaussian curvature minimization problem
which is still meaningful in the context of surface
fairing. Absolute Gaussian curvature like Gaussian curvature is
concentrated at the vertices of a polyhedral surface embedded into
. Local optimization tries to move a single vertex in
space such that the absolute Gaussian curvature at this vertex is
minimized. We show that in general it is algebraically hard to find
the optimal position of a vertex. By algebraically hard we mean that
in general an optimal solution is not constructible, i.e., there
exist no finite sequence of expressions starting with rational numbers,
where each expression is either the sum, difference,
product, quotient or 'th root of preceding expressions and the
last expressions give the coordinates of an optimal solution. Hence
the only option left is to approximate the optimal position. We
provide an approximation scheme for the minimum possible value of
the absolute Gaussian curvature at a vertex
CONSTRUCTION OF CHAOTIC MAPS ON NONCONVEX SPACES — A SOLUTION TO A CSK DECIPHERING PROBLEM
No full text In this paper, we propose a solution to one of the problems raised by the authors [Manjunath & Fournier-Prunaret, 2009a] with regard to a deciphering issue in the chaos shift keying technique. Here, we construct maps on nonconvex spaces using a class of chaotic maps on the (closed) unit square and prove that they exhibit chaos. The constructed maps serve as a practical solution to control the deciphering errors in chaos shift keying. </jats:p
