An enhanced scheduling approach with cloudlet migrations for resource intensive applications
No full textCloud computing is one of the most advanced technologies to present
computerized generation. Scheduling plays a major role in it. The connectivity of
Virtual Machines (VM) to schedule the assigned tasks (cloudlet) is a most
attractive field to research. This paper introduces a confined Cloudlet Migration
based scheduling algorithm using Enhanced-First Come First Serve (CMeFCFS).
The objective of this work is to minimize the makespan, cost and to
optimize the resource utilization. The proposed work has been simulated in the
CloudSim toolkit package. The results have been compared with pre-existing
scheduling algorithms with same experimental configuration. Important
parameters like execution time, completion time, cost, makespan and utilization
of resources are compared to measure the performance of the proposed algorithm.
Extensive simulation results prove that introduced work has better results than
existing approaches. 99.8% resource utilization has been achieved by CMeFCFS.
Plotted graphs and calculated values show that the proposed algorithm is
very effective for cloudlet scheduling

No full textEnergy, Exergy, Emergy, Environment, and Economics Analysis of a Three-pot Cookstove
No full textAs per World Bank\u27s collection of development indicators, about 65% of India\u27s population still live in rural regions, where biomass will continue to be the primary source of energy for cooking. Consumers and governments are concerned about the amount of energy used in cooking. Furthermore, the use of biomass fuel in traditional biomass stoves has been associated with human health, with women being more susceptible to exposure to indoor air pollution and health issues during cooking. This study analysed the performance of a three-pot cookstove suitable for a family of 6 persons with respect to its energy, exergy, emergy, environment, and economics. Emergent indicators such as percent renewable (PR), emergent yield ratio (EYR), environmental load ratio (ELR), and environmental sustainability index (ESI) are accustomed to assessing the environmental load and native sustainability of biomass energy. According to Emergy indicators, the production of three-pot cooking system is more sustainable than traditional cookstove systems. Further, the p-value, standard deviation and coefficient of variance derived from the statistical analysis indicate a significant relationship between feedstock size and thermal efficiency of the developed cookstove

Photometric and Kinematic study of the open cluster NGC 1027
No full textWe present photometric and kinematic analysis of an intermediate age open
cluster NGC 1027 using and Gaia Early Data Release 3 (EDR3) data.
Structural and fundamental parameters such as cluster center, cluster extent,
reddening, age and distance are estimated in this study. Cluster center is
found about 2 arcmin away from the center reported earlier. Radius has been
estimated to be about 8.00 arcmin(2.65pc). Using proper motion Gaia EDR3 data,
membership probabilities has been derived for the stars in the region of
cluster radius. We find mean proper motion of the cluster to be (-0.84,
2.04) mas yr in (RA, DEC). We find 217 most probable (P 70\%)
cluster members with mean parallax 0.892 0.088 mas. Out of these, 160
members have counterparts in our optical observations. Few stars having
P 70\% are found out of the cluster radius showing imprints of dynamical
evolution. The color-color and color-magnitude diagrams for the cluster members
found within 8.00 arcmin have been constructed using photometry and
Gaia EDR3 data. This yields a reddening E(-) 0.36 mag, age
130 Myr and distance 1.14 kpc. The mass function slope in the cluster
region is -1.46 0.15, which is similar to other Galactic
open clusters. The dynamical study shows lack of faint stars in its inner
region leading to mass segregation effect. A comparison of dynamical age with
cluster age indicates that NGC 1027 is a dynamically relaxed cluster suggesting
that mass segregation may be imprint of its dynamical relaxation
Comparative Study of Existing Data Scheduling Approaches and Role of Cloud in VANET Environment
No full textSolar map of India under clear sky conditions
No full textThis paper focusses on generation of solar irradiation map under clear sky conditions using r.sun model. Direct Irradiation, diffuse irradiation and global irradiation maps are plotted using programme which was developed in C language. This programme calculates different components of solar irradiation using clear sky model (r.sun). Further Surfer software was used to plot different irradiation maps. All three values (Direct Irradiation, Global Irradiation and Diffuse Irradiation) were compared by IMD values for performing statistical analysis i.e. Mean Bias Error (MBE), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and standard deviation. MBE was found within ±10%, RMSE lies within <20% and standard deviation was found to have very low value which indicated good fitting between model results and calculated values. Therefore the r.sun model is good model and can be used for computing solar irradiation for India
