An Autonomic Virtual Topology Design and Two-Stage Scheduling Algorithm for Light-Trail WDM Networks
No full textLight-trails (LTs) have been proposed as a solution for optical networking to provide support for emerging services such as video-on-demand, pseudo-wires, data-centers, etc. To provision these services we require features such as dynamic bandwidth provisioning, optical multicasting, sub-wavelength grooming and a low-cost hardware platform—all of which are available through the LT concept. Architectural, performance, resilience and implementation studies of LTs have led to consideration of this technology in metropolitan networks. In the area of architecture and performance, significant literature is available in terms of static network optimization. An area that has not yet been considered and which is of service provider importance (from an implementation perspective) is the stochastic behavior and dynamic growth of the LT virtual topology. In this paper, we propose a two-stage scheduling algorithm that efficiently allocates bandwidth to nodes within a LT and also grows the virtual topology of LTs based on basic utility theory. The algorithm facilitates growth of the LT topology fathoming across all the necessary and sufficient parameters. The algorithm is formally stated, analyzed using Markov models and verified through simulations, resulting in 45% betterment over existing linear program (LP) or heuristic models. The outcome of the growth algorithm is an autonomic optical network that suffices for service provider needs while lowering operational and capital costs. This paper presents the first work in the area of dual topology planning—at the level of connections as well as at the level of the network itself.This article is published as Gumaste, Ashwin, Tamal Das, Ashish Mathew, and Arun Somani.

Towards Post Development in India. Lessons of Community Resilience in Times of Crises
No full textAuthor: Ashish Kothari is an Indian environmentalist working on development – environment interface, biodiversity policy, and alternatives. Environment and wildlife have been his passions since high school in Delhi, when (in 1978-79) he helped found Kalpavriksh, a non-profit organisation in India which deals with environmental and development issues. Since then, he has been associated with peoples’ movements like Narmada Bachao Andolan and Beej Bachao Andolan. He is also involved in coordinateing national and global networks like Vikalp Sangam and Global Tapestry of Alternatives
Analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms using molecular affinity separation and mass spectrometry
No full textSingle nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) constitute the most abundant human genetic variations and are important markers for studying interindividual variability with many different techniques having being developed for their study. The use of mass spectrometry (MS) is an attractive detection method for SNP genotyping due to label free detection based on molecular mass, especially for use in diagnostic applications that would require analysis of tens of SNPs in cohorts of individuals. The work in this thesis explores the use of a molecular affinity purification system for improving multiplexing levels of SNP genotyping using MS based detection and approaches for improving its throughput.
The strong molecular affinity between biotin and streptavidin has been employed for isolation of biotinylated oligonucleotides before analysis by MS using the previously developed solid phase capture-single base extension approach. We have been able to genotype up to 50 SNPs simultaneously using two genes from the cytochrome 450 family of genes as model system. These results have demonstrated the utility of the biotin-streptavidin affinity system for highly multiplexed SNP genotyping using MS. Following this, two approaches have been employed to reduce processing time and improve throughput of the technique. First, we have used monomeric avidin coated microbeads to fabricate a device that leads to a substantial reduction in processing time for the isolation step to ~2 hours, and allows simultaneous processing of multiple samples for genotyping a limited number of SNPs. Additionally, the microbead device can be reused 5 times with a simple regeneration protocol thus acting as a low cost tool for enhancing sample cleanup prior to MS. A second approach involves the use of heat and water for breaking the biotin-streptavidin interaction that allows direct analysis of released fragments by MS. We have shown its utility for reducing processing time after the isolation step substantially, and used it for highly multiplexed SNP genotyping. In concert, these studies demonstrate the feasibility of using the molecular affinity interaction between biotin and (strept)avidin for high throughput genotyping of single nucleotide polymorphisms using MS.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical references (p. 73-78)by Ashish Misr

Meta-Data of Papers in Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference from 2010 to 2015
No full textThe Asia-Pacific Software
Engineering Conference (APSEC) is an annual conference started in the year 1994
in Tokyo (Japan) with the aim of brining software engineering researchers and
practitioners from both university and industry around the world to exchange
research results and ideas. APSEC 1994 (Tokyo, Japan) was the first edition of
the conference and the annual event completes 23 editions in 2016 (Hamilton,
New Zealand). The dataset contains meta-data on APSEC 2010 to APSEC 2015 papers
from various perspectives such as paper
acceptance rates, conference location, scholarly output of various countries, keynotes,
workshops, conference organizers and sponsors, tutorials, prolific authors,
citation impact, internal and external collaboration, university and industry
participation and collaboration, gender imbalance, topical analysis, yearly author
churn and program committee characteristics. The paper titled “A Review of Six
Years of Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference” by Lov Kumar, Saikrishna
Sripada and Ashish Sureka published in APSEC 2016 is based on this dataset</p
