Data Centre Efficiency Enhancement by Metrics Oriented Approach to Revamp Green Cloud Computing Concept
No full textAbstract: Cloud computing inherits sharing of data from pool of resources existing in data centres when ever demanded. The imminent requirement for this purpose is proficiency of the data centre for fulfilment of this coveted objective. The pursuit of energy-efficient peak performance level is challenged by a simultaneous hike of energy consumption. The energy-efficient metrics contribute a major role for attainment of desired objective of safeguarding the environment. These metrics address the enhancement of the system’s proficiency. An increased energy-efficiency results into reduced consumption of energy resources since these energy resources are mostly non-renewable in nature and are the main source of carbon and heat emissions from operational data centres. As a matter of fact, any individual metric is not capable of achieving enhanced energy-efficient performance in a data centre. Therefore a collective utilization of selected metrics pertaining to power, performance and network traffic can improve the energy-efficient capability of data centre communication systems. The testing platform for such metrics is based on certain architectures which include D Cell, B Cube, Hyper Cube and Fat tree three-tier architectures.Published By: Blue Eyes Intelligence Engineering and Sciences Publication (BEIESP)

A Theory of Community Formation and Social Hierarchy
No full textWe analyze the classic problem of sustaining trust when cheating and leaving trading partners is easy, and outside enforcement is difficult. We construct equilibria where individuals are loyal to smaller groups– com- munities– that allow repeated interaction. Hierarchies provide incentives for loyalty and allow individuals to trust agents to extent that the agents are actually trustworthy. We contrast these with other plausible institu- tions for engendering loyalty that require inefficient withholding of trust to support group norms, and are not robust to coalitional deviations. In communities whose members randomly match, we show that social mobil- ity within hierarchies falls as temptations to cheat rise. In communities where individuals can concentrate their trading with pre-selected members, hierarchies where senior members are favored for trade sustain trust even in the presence of proximate non-hierarchical communities. We link these results to the emergence of trust in new market environments and early human societies
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Saumitra Chakravarty 2002: The Silent Cry
No full textDr. Saumitra Chakravarty, an alumni of Calcutta University with an Hons degree in English Literature, secured a gold medal in her Masters degree and a Ph.D on the topic ¿The Search for Identity in Contemporary British Fiction¿. She teaches English Literature at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels in Bangalore and guides research students. She has presented papers in several national and international seminars. She has published a book of poems, The Silent Cry (2002), and co-authored a book of critical essays, The Endangered Self (2003). A book of translations of short stories of four major Bengali women writers on women¿s issues is currently under publication with Oxford UP. She is working on a second book of poems on issues related to tribal women and their habitat, some of which have already been broadcast over All India Radio. She has also been joint coordinator for a British Council project on translations for which Prof. Susan Bassnett, at the University of Warwick, is the over-all co-ordinator
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Topical versus intravenous tranexamic acid in total knee arthroplasty

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
