Relational Care - with Mary Larkin and Manik Deepak-Gopinath [Podcast]
No full textWhat is 'relational care' and how can it improve the day-to-day experience of carers and those they care for? What are its implications for relationships between staff and service users in care settings? And how does the concept of relational care enable us to re-imagine the role of place and space in the experience of care? These are some of the questions we explore in this episode with Mary Larkin and Manik Deepak-Gopinath who recently completed a research project on the value and practice of relational care with older people.
Mary is Professor of Care, Carers and Caring at The Open University in the UK, where her research has focused on carers and caring and adult social care. She is the co-author, most recently of Family Carers and Caring, published in 2023 by Emerald. Manik is a Lecturer in Ageing, also at The Open University, and is a critical gerontologist with interests in the intersection of ageing, place and wellbeing, and in the intimate and family ties of older adults

Performance evaluation of the cache and forward routing protocol in multihop wireless subnetworks:
No full textCache aNd Forward (CNF) is a clean-slate protocol architecture for content delivery services in the future Internet. CNF is based on the concept of store-and-forward routers with large storage, opportunistic delivery to occasionally disconnected mobile users and in-network caching of content. The CNF architecture uses a storage-aware routing protocol (which can choose to store rather than forward data), along with a reliable hop-by-hop transport protocol in place of end-to-end TCP for reliable delivery of media files. This thesis presents the design and experimental evaluation of the routing protocol for CNF in context of a multihop wireless access network scenario. The protocol is designed to transmit files only when the end-to-end path quality is considered to be acceptably high. The aim here is to optimize a social metric such as the overall network throughput through opportunistic transmission during periods of good path quality. If the routed path is determined to be temporarily degraded, either due to poor channel conditions or mobility, the protocol may decide to store the file. This decision is based on a two-dimensional routing metric which considers the value of both short-term and long-term path metrics such as ETT (expected transmission time) to determine whether to forward or store. In addition to path quality, storage capacity in the downstream routers to the destination is also considered while making the store or forward decision. The CNF protocol stack over multihop 802.11 access networks with CNF routers has been implemented as a real-time proof-of-concept prototype on the ORBIT testbed. Baseline results for the storage aware routing with hop-by-hop transport show significant throughput gains for the CNF stack over the TCP/IP stack for a variety of topologies and network conditions. For example, for a 5-node multihop topology under varying loss conditions, the throughput achieved by CNF is 2X that of TCP. Moreover, as the loss conditions worsen, TCP tends to fail completely, while a graceful degradation of the CNF protocol stack is observed.M.S.Includes bibliographical references (p. 48-49)by Snehapreethi Gopinat
Golden Proportion in Computational Analysis: Reflecting the Universal Beauty
No full textAbstract: Numerous mathematics concepts or figures in human history had significantly improved in reputation as a result of their obscure meanings. Golden proportions and other associated ideas, including the golden ratio, are one of the concepts that had received an extraordinary breakthrough in terms of their recognition received by humans, due to the spiritual characteristics of golden proportions’ physical existence. Under the general umbrella of golden proportions encloses concepts such as the golden ratio, Golden geometric shapes, golden angle, and the Fibonacci sequence. Often referred to as the golden section, divine proportion, golden ratio or golden mean in Mathematics, is known as an irrational number, equivalent to 1.618, represented by phi (Φ), a Greek symbol. Golden ratio is found across all of nature, such as animals, plants, weather, solar systems, and even in the universe. The application of the Fibonacci sequence can be witnessed in various fields, which including architecture, design, medical, environment and science. Continuous of this, the golden ratio was applied in various computer science applications, such as the development and analysis of, data structures, and algorithms and solving mathematical problems. It is mainly involved in data compression, sorting algorithm, generating random numbers, and connecting points on a computer display. This review is discussed the golden ratio in nature and its applications in the area of computer science and mathematics.
Keywords: Natural beauty, Fibonacci sequence, golden ratio, Mathematics.

An Inter-Reference Gap Model for Temporal Locality in Program Behavior
No full textThe locality of reference in program behavior has been studied and modeled extensively because of its application to memory design, code optimization, multiprogramming etc. We propose a k-order Markov chain based scheme to model the sequence of time intervals between successive references to the same address in memory during program execution. Each unique address in a program is modeled separately. To validate our model, which we call the Interference Gap (IRG) model, we show substantial improvements in three different areas where it is applied. (1) We improve upon the miss ratio for the Least Recently Used (LRU) memory replacement algorithm by up to 37%. (2) We achieve up to 22% space-time product improvement over the Working Set (WS) algorithm for dynamic memory management. (3) A new trace compression technique is proposed which compresses up to 2.5% with zero error in WS simulations and up to 3.7% error in the LRU simulations. All these results are obtained experimentally, via trace-driven simulations over a wide range of cache traces, page reference traces, object traces and database traces.Technical report DCS-TR-31
Using Spatial Locality for Trace Compression
No full textPerformance of most cache memories, virtual paging systems, TLB’s, and disk caches are analyzed using tracedriven simulations. These require large amounts of storage for the traces. In this paper we present a paging based trace compression mechanism which is loss less and improves upon the mache method of Samples [5], up to a factor of two. The key idea is to split up a trace of main memory references into two levels. The top level is the page reference stream and the lower is the string of offset references for each of the pages. Then we compress the two levels separately and obtain the final compaction. In addition, unlike the monolithic compression of mache, this method provides random access to individual page traces.Technical report DCS-TR-31

Focusing waves in an unknown medium without wavefield decomposition
No full textThe Gel'fand-Levitan equation, the Gopinath-Sondhi equation, and the Marchenko equation are developed for one-dimensional inverse scattering problems. Recently, a version of the Marchenko equation based on wavefield decomposition has been introduced for focusing waves in multi dimensions. However, wavefield decomposition is a limitation when waves propagate horizontally at the focusing level. Here, the Marchenko equation for focusing without wavefield decomposition is derived, and by iteratively solving the Marchenko equation, the Green's function for an arbitrary location in the medium is retrieved from the scattered waves recorded on a closed receiver array and an estimate of the direct-wave without wavefield decomposition
Damage Detection in Ultra High Performance Concrete using Embedded Smart Aggregates
No full textThe distinct feature of UHPC is the tensile strain hardening phenomena and high compressive strength. We can either use this potential as an additional safety margin in structures or design structures with no passive reinforcement.The advancements in active structural health monitoring devices have opened further possibilities to validate the performance of this material. One such device is the Smart Aggregate (SA). Smart Aggregates are piezoceramic transducers capable of sending and receiving ultrasonic waves. From basic wave theory, we know that elastic waves capture the properties of the medium through which it propagates. We can use this phenomenon to study the damage inside UHPC. This is accomplished by studying the changes in velocity and peak amplitude of an elastic wave as it propagates through the loaded specimen.This thesis has two main objectives. First, a modified tension test is developed to determine the uniaxial-tensile behavior of UHPC specimen. Second, embedded smart aggregates are used to send and receive elastic waves inside the UHPC specimen subject to modified tension test and the wave parameters such as velocity and peak amplitude are studied. The propagation of elastic waves in UHPC specimen with steel fibres is understood from this experiment. A relationship is established between velocity of the elastic waves versus average strain and peak amplitude of the elastic waves versus average strain. The results obtained could serve as basic knowledge required to conduct elastic wave tomography.In short, this thesis explores the possibilities of using SA to detect damage in UHPC and whether it can be used as an additional safety measure in active structural health monitoring. Although the huge potential of Ultra-High-Performance Concrete is apparent, considerable effort is required before we can realize safe habitable structures using it.Civil Engineerin
