Energy Efficiency in Cloud Computing: Exploring the Intellectual Structure of the Research Field and Its Research Fronts with Direct Citation Analysis

The aim of the study is to explore the intellectual structure of the field and fronts in research on energy efficiency in the context of cloud computing and thus to contribute to science mapping of the research field. The research process was driven by the following study questions: (1) what are the most influential publications in the research field? and (2) what are the research fronts in the research field? The method of direct citation analysis was employed in the research process. Data for analysis were obtained from the Scopus database and analyzed with the use of VOSviewer science mapping software. In response to the first question, we identified the most influential publications in the research field and analyzed their types (i.e., whether they are original research papers or rather the “context” papers e.g., survey or review papers, framework papers, challenges papers, and study papers). Moreover, a comparison analysis between the types of papers among the most cited “classical” publications and “emerging stars” was conducted. In response to the second research question, we identified five research fronts concentrated around the issues of: virtual machine management (“VM”); task-focus, concerning data replication, task consolidation, and task scheduling (“task”); energy efficiency (“energy”); modelling and optimization (“model”); and energy efficiency in the networking context (“network”).

Urban Sustainability Evaluation of New Communities in Nile Delta Northen Coast

North Coast of Nile Delta represents a logical urban expansion of crowded cities in Delta region which are increasingly getting overwhelmed by social, economic, ecological, and cultural problems. The government adopted establishment of new communities along the international coastal axis represented in new cities, urban expansions and villages. Despite of this optimistic vision, the current state didn’t match the proposed objectives of the urban development plans. The aim of research is to evaluate urban sustainability of the selected neighborhood cases in the existing new communities. The research methodology is based on descriptive and analytical methods through data analysis, study visits, interviews, surveys and prioritizing. The evaluation is based on UN-Habitat principals of sustainable neighborhoods to be compact, integrated, and connected. It recommends a range of quantitative measurements as a sustainability analysis of neighborhoods through five main principals; efficient street network, high density, mixed land-use, social mix and limited land-use specialization. The results of evaluation show the weaknesses of the physical urban context efficiency for each case to be developed. Finally, urban development guidelines are suggested to promote urban growth and maximize urban efficiency.

Economic efficiency when prices are not fixed: disentangling quantity and price efficiency

This paper proposes an approach to compute cost efficiency in contexts where units can adjust input quantities and to some degree prices so that through their joint determination they can minimise the aggregate cost of the outputs they secure. The model developed is based on the data envelopment analysis (DEA) framework and can accommodate situations where the degree of influence over prices ranges from minimal to considerable. When units cannot influence prices at all the model proposed reduces to the standard cost efficiency DEA model for the case where prices are taken as exogenous. In addition to the cost efficiency model, we introduce an additive decomposition of potential cost savings into a quantity and a price component, based on Bennet indicators.

SIFT and SURF Performance Evaluation for Mobile Robot-Monocular Visual Odometry

Visual odometry is the process of estimating the motion of mobile through the camera attached to it, by matching point features between pairs of consecutive image frames. For mobile robots, a reliable method for comparing images can constitute a key component for localization and motion estimation tasks. In this paper, we study and compare the SIFT and SURF detector/ descriptor in terms of accurate motion determination and runtime efficiency in context the mobile robot-monocular visual odometry. We evaluate the performance of these detectors/ descriptors from the repeatability, recall, precision and cost of computation. To estimate the relative pose of camera from outlier-contaminated feature correspondences, the essential matrix and inlier set is estimated using RANSAC. Experimental results demonstrate that SURF, outperform the SIFT, in both accuracy and speed. 

Teaching for Ethical Lawyering

Ethical lawyering as a phrase relates to two questions: how we conceive ethics and how we look at lawyering. As of now, the mandate to teach ethics is from the Bar Council of India (herein after, the BCI), although the most recent Curriculum Development Committee (hereinafter, the CDC) Report of the BCI does not throw much light on any model course. which retires from the scene after providing the nomenclature, ever since it took the reigns of mapping the law program. The word ‘lawyering,’ in the changing context, needs a broader vision. It requires going beyond institutions of justice and ‘stretching minds.’ As of now, teaching for ethical lawyering varies depending on each law school as to how it taxidermies the basic skeleton provided by BCI. In the days of yore, one did not study it in 3 years program while in 5 years program it is mandatory. What one notices is the striking flaw of not converging or linking it with clinical methods or multilevel assessment. Further, the cross-professional experience in media studies also reveals that teaching or learning or doing ethics per se is viewed as ‘not useful,’ ‘waste of time,’ very theoretical, ‘contrast of success and efficiency.’ The paper describes of what and how we teach with comparisons and contrasts. The ‘what and how’ have implicit dimensions of why and when too. The current law curriculum in India, includes rules of professional conduct within the bounds of ‘professional ethics’ which accounts for 10-20% of the curriculum, along with other components of accountancy and Bar-Bench Relations. In comparison, one could look into the courses taught elsewhere, focusing on active learning and built around the multiple visions of lawyering – visons of where and how one undertakes the task of lawyering – as deal-maker, facilitator, expert, negotiator, translator/story-teller, friend and as ‘hired gun.’ These courses emphasise on students making a self-conscious choice of a lawyering vision, ability to see the power dynamic and in putting the public interest dimension and collective duties above all. Next, the paper dwells on how it could change for future based on Carnegie Report. In order to cultivate ‘institutional intentionality’ one should revisit the learning climate, culture, excellence, quality parameters in the institute, it is going to pose ideas and challenges. The paper at the end, proposes a Roadmap. Ethics is more of a journey than destination. The war between ethicists and pragmatist is going to stay till the end of time, but redefining success and efficiency in context could bridge the two.

A review of clinical supervision in a cold and demanding climate

In a time where proven outcomes and cost effectiveness are paramount within the National Health Service, and where pressures from increasing scrutiny of worker activities continue, the regular and effective practice of clinical supervision may conflict with these target driven agendas. This review looks to recent and relevant literature to consider how the current practice of clinical supervision may be affected and how supervision could, in fact, facilitate efficiency in context with the current cultural and economic climate of health care services.

Hospital costs of high-burden diseases: malaria and pulmonary tuberculosis in a high HIV prevalence context in Zimbabwe.

This paper explores the measurement of hospital costs and efficiency in a context where data is scarce, incomplete or of poor quality. It argues that there is scope for using tracers to examine and compare hospital cost structures and relative efficiency in such contexts. Two high-burden diseases, malaria and pulmonary tuberculosis, are used as tracers to calculate the average costs of inpatient care at selected tertiary hospitals. This study shows that it is feasible to prospectively collect cost data for specific diseases and explore in detail both patient cost distribution and susceptible areas for efficiency improvement. The present study found that the critical source of efficiency variation in public hospitals in Zimbabwe lies in the way hospital beds are used.

In vivo evaluation of the context sequence of the translation initiation codon in plants

Statistical analysis of the AUG initiation codon context in several plant organisms identified a nucleotide preference in some positions around the AUG. Sixteen AUG contexts were studied using transient expression in tobacco, maize and Norway spruce. Besides the importance of A or G at position −3, we revealed the role of positions −2, −1 for which AA or CC were found to be the best for tobacco and maize, respectively. GC (positions +4, +5) were also found to be important in both tobacco and maize. Finally, we identified a variation in context efficiency according to cell type, since A was better than G at position −3 in tobacco leaf protoplasts, while both nucleotides were equally efficient in tobacco suspension cells.
