    Overlay networking is a software technique to create layers of network abstraction that may be used to run more reliable digital network layers on tangible network, often imparting safety benefit in applications. The essential concept of overlays is implanted within the 5 ancient computing paradigm of virtualization in which, the Internet has been architecture to provide the exact necessities of such modern and innovative distributed applications. It was designed as a heterogeneous web of networks, and its method permits diverse entities to interact with every other in an "exceptional effort" fashion. An Internet of Things application platform is a virtual network that locate over cloud. In the usage of cloud .0 connectivity, Internet of Things (loT) platform converts such device data into appropriate information. Here the proposal is to improve loT networking operation which enable more security and benefit of the applications.

    Role of cannabinoidergic mechanisms in ethanol self-administration and ethanol seeking in rat adult offspring following perinatal exposure to Delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol

    The present study evaluated the consequences of perinatal Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta(9)-THC) treatment (5 mg/kg/day by gavage), either alone or combined with ethanol (3% v/v as the only fluid available), on ethanol self-administration and alcohol-seeking behavior in rat adult offspring. Furthermore, the effect of the selective cannabinoid CB(1) receptor antagonist, SR-141716A, on ethanol self-administration and on reinstatement of ethanol-seeking behavior induced either by stress or conditioned drug-paired cues was evaluated in adult offspring of rats exposed to the same perinatal treatment. Lastly, microarray experiments were conducted to evaluate if perinatal treatment with Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol, ethanol or their combination causes long-term changes in brain gene expression profile in rats. The results of microarray data analysis showed that 139, 112 and 170 genes were differentially expressed in the EtOH, Delta(9)-THC, or EtOH+Delta(9)-THC group, respectively. No differences in alcohol self-administration and alcohol seeking were observed between rat groups. Intraperitoneal (IP) administration of SR-141716A (0.3-3.0 mg/kg) significantly reduced lever pressing for ethanol and blocked conditioned reinstatement of alcohol seeking. At the same doses SR-141716A failed to block foot-shock stress-induced reinstatement of alcohol seeking. The results reveal that perinatal exposure to Delta(9)-THC ethanol or their combination results in evident changes in gene expression patterns. However, these treatments do not significantly affect vulnerability to ethanol abuse in adult offspring. On the other hand, the results obtained with SR-141716A emphasize that endocannabinoid mechanisms play a major role in ethanol self-administration, as well as in the reinstatement of ethanol-seeking behavior induced by conditioned cues, supporting the idea that cannabinoid CB(1) receptor antagonists may represent interesting agents for the pharmacotherapy of alcoholism

    Does Outward Foreign Direct Investment Reduce Domestic Investment?: An Industry-Level Analysis

    With the rise of globalisation, countries have become more connected financially and global cross-border investment flows have become more common. FDI is an important form of cross-border flow which is responsible for the spread of technology across countries and is the main source of external finance for emerging countries. In the last two decades, FDI has increased tremendously. But this has been accompanied by fears about outward FDI taking away production activities and jobs away from the home country. I look at how outward FDI affects home country investment. One can intuitively understand that a dollar of money spent abroad means a dollar less to invest in the domestic economy. Based on the theory of the financially constrained firm, I hypothesize that outward FDI reduces domestic fixed capital investment and R&amp;D spending. I also develop a theoretical framework to distinguish the varying effects of outward FDI on domestic investment across traditional and R&amp;D-intensive industries.By using industry-level panel data for 18 OECD countries covering the period 1995-2009, I regressed the shares of Gross Fixed Capital Formation (GFCF) and R&amp;D spending separately on the share of outward FDI both for all industries as well as specifically for traditional and R&amp;D-intensive industries. While, outward FDI had a negative effect on domestic capital investments at the aggregate level, it did not have any significant effect while looking at specific industry types. This could be because of the reduced sample size in the individual types. Outward FDI had a negative effect on domestic R&amp;D spending at the aggregate level and for R&amp;D-intensive industries, but it had a positive effect for traditional industries. Thus, while fears about outward FDI taking away domestic fixed capital investments are valid, outward FDI can have both a positive and negative effect on R&amp;D expenditure, depending on the type of industry. These results can help MNCs make strategic investment decisions taking into account their effect on their home country industry. It can also help policymakers formulate tax and industrial policies to promote home country investments.Management of Technology (MoT

    Linear Free Energy Relationships in the Chromium(VI) Oxidation of Phenols

    The kinetics of oxidation of phenol by nicotinium dichromate has been studied in 50 % acetic acid-water (v/v) medium. The reaction shows unit order dependence on each, with respect to oxidant and substrate. The reaction is acid catalysed and the medium of low dielectric constant favours the reaction. Increase in ionic strength has negligible effect on the reaction rate. In general, the electron withdrawing substituents enhance the rate of reaction. From the kinetic data obtained, the activation parameters have been calculated and a plausible mechanism has been proposed in accordance with multiparameter correlation analysis

    A weak electric field-assisted ultrafast electrical switching dynamics in In3SbTe2 phase-change memory devices

    Prefixing a weak electric field (incubation) might enhance the crystallization speed via pre-structural ordering and thereby achieving faster programming of phase change memory (PCM) devices. We employed a weak electric field, equivalent to a constant small voltage (that is incubation voltage, Vi of 0.3 V) to the applied voltage pulse, VA (main pulse) for a systematic understanding of voltage-dependent rapid threshold switching characteristics and crystallization (set) process of In3SbTe2 (IST) PCM devices. Our experimental results on incubation-assisted switching elucidate strikingly one order faster threshold switching, with an extremely small delay time, td of 300 ps, as compared with no incubation voltage (Vi = 0 V) for the same VA. Also, the voltage dependent characteristics of incubation-assisted switching dynamics confirm that the initiation of threshold switching occurs at a lower voltage of 0.82 times of VA. Furthermore, we demonstrate an incubation assisted ultrafast set process of IST device for a low VA of 1.7 V (∼18 % lesser compared to without incubation) within a short pulse-width of 1.5 ns (full width half maximum, FWHM). These findings of ultrafast switching, yet low power set process would immensely be helpful towards designing high speed PCM devices with low power operation

    Low electric field, easily reversible electrical set and reset processes in a Ge15Te83Si2 glass for phase change memory applications

    We report here an easily reversible set-reset process in a new Ge15Te83Si2 glass that could be a promising candidate for phase change random access memory applications. The I-V characteristics of the studied sample show a comparatively low threshold electric field (E-th) of 7.3 kV/cm. Distinct differences in the type of switching behavior are achieved by means of controlling the on state current. It enables the observation of a threshold type for less than 0.7 mA beyond memory type (set) switching. The set and reset processes have been achieved with a similar magnitude of 1 mA, and with a triangular current pulse for the set process and a short duration rectangular pulse of 10 msec width for the reset operation. Further, a self-resetting effect is seen in this material upon excitation with a saw-tooth/square pulse, and their response of leading and trailing edges are discussed. About 6.5 x 10(4) set-reset cycles have been undertaken without any damage to the device. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics. doi: 10.1063/1.3574659
