Electrical charge state identification and control for the silicon vacancy in 4H-SiC

Reliable single-photon emission is crucial for realizing efficient spin-photon entanglement and scalable quantum information systems. The silicon vacancy ({V}_{{rm{Si}}}) in 4H-SiC is a promising single-photon emitter exhibiting millisecond spin coherence times, but suffers from low photon counts, and only one charge state retains the desired spin and optical properties. Here, we demonstrate that emission from {V}_{{rm{Si}}} defect ensembles can be enhanced by an order of magnitude via fabrication of Schottky barrier diodes, and sequentially modulated by almost 50 % via application of external bias. Furthermore, we identify charge state transitions of {V}_{{rm{Si}}} by correlating optical and electrical measurements, and realize selective population of the bright state. Finally, we reveal a pronounced Stark shift of 55 GHz for the V1′ emission line state of {V}_{{rm{Si}}} at larger electric fields, providing a means to modify the single-photon emission. The approach presented herein paves the way towards obtaining complete control of, and drastically enhanced emission from, {V}_{{rm{Si}}} defect ensembles in 4H-SiC highly suitable for quantum applications.

Our analysis allows us to create a new framework which includes both theories and provides results for health managers and health decision-makers.

The Feasibility of a BIM-Driven Approach to Support Building Subdivision Workflows—Case Study of Victoria, Australia

Cities are facing dramatic challenges due to population growth and the massive development of high-rises and complex structures, both above and below the ground surface. Decision-makers require access to an efficient land and property information system, which is digital, three-dimensional (3D), spatially accurate, and dynamic containing interests in land (rights, restrictions and responsibilities—RRRs) to manage the legal and physical complexities of urban environments. However, at present, building subdivision workflows only support the two-dimensional (2D) building subdivision plans in PDF or image formats. These workflows result in a number of issues, such as the plan preparation being complex, the examination process being labor intensive and requiring technical expertise, information not being easily reusable by all subdivision stakeholders, queries, analyses, and decision-making being inefficient, and the RRRs interpretation being difficult. The aim of this research is to explore the potential of using Building Information Modelling (BIM) and its open standards to support the building subdivision workflows. The research that is presented in this paper proposes a BIM-driven building subdivision workflow, evaluated through a case study in the state of Victoria, Australia. The results of the study confirmed that the proposed workflow could provide a feasible integrated mechanism for stakeholders to share, document, visualize, analyze, interpret, and reuse 3D digital cadastral data over the lifespan of a building subdivision project.

An Efficient Information System for Providing Location Based Services in Network Environments

In information retrieval systems, the location information can be collected by using Global Positioning Systems for providing Location Based Services (LBS) to the information system users. The LBS can be either person-oriented or device-oriented. In the person-oriented approach, the LBS focuses on the location of the user and the user can control the services provided by the service provider. In the device-oriented approach, the LBS focuses on the object and it is not controlled by the mobile user. The LBS also manages Points of Interest (POI) of mobile users in order to perform effective route finding for providing the services fast. Moreover, the users of mobile devices tend to query based on Points of Interest such as for restaurants and markets where the users can query based on its attributes like price, type of food, user ratings which are close to their current location. The POI is calculated primarily on the interest of mobile users and the ratings given by existing user’s with their feedback. The users can select the features to obtain specific objects. In this paper, a new information retrieval model is proposed for improving the performance of information systems by providing new data structures and algorithms for storage and retrieval of data. The primary idea behind this work is to minimize the number of user requests and to achieve high accuracy for the user’s query result by using an information repository called as the Path Log. The Path Log is used to store the information about the search time and distance of the service provider locations by providing an optimal route to serve the users information request. For this purpose, a new spatial indexing is used in this work to obtain an accurate and optimal path to reach the location of the services. The tree has been constructed by giving weights for the leaf nodes. Thus the solution proposed in this work for providing LBS is achieved by processing the K-Nearest Neighbor and Range queries such that the user requests for information retrieval is carried out more optimally.

Development of structures of the aircraft fire alarm system by means of nested modules

Optimization of structures of information management systems is determined by the choice of such a functional structure that would ensure high reliability of information. When creating complex systems, there is the problem of ensuring high operational reliability of connection of a large number of separate elements into a single monolithic highly efficient information system. This problem is effectively solved by combining the elements of the system of controlled information sensors by means of nested modules. The mathematical model of parallel information redundancy based on polynomial distribution is developed. This model allows exploring the probability states of the fire alarm system, consisting of n parallel-connected identical sensors. As the state of the fire alarm system, indicators such as probabilities of correct detection, non-detection and false alarm are considered. On the basis of the proposed model, mathematical dependencies of the basic modules М 2,3 , М 2,4 are obtained, taking into account the majority factor, and accordingly schematic diagrams of these modules on logic gates are developed. Mathematical dependences for the first ( N 6,9 , N 12,24 ) and second ( L 18,27 , L 48,96 ) hierarchies of connection of fire alarm system sensors, implementing the majority rule «m-out-of-n», taking into account their hierarchy are obtained. The generalized mathematical formulas for determining the number of logic AND gates in each specific structural circuit for nested modules of the first and second hierarchies, as well as the mathematical formula for n hierarchies, are proposed. Mathematical dependencies of the total economic gain, which consists in reducing the number of AND circuits for implementing the majority rule «m-out-of-n» using nested modules, are obtained. It is advisable to introduce structures of fire alarm systems on the basis of nested modules into production, as the reliability of information increases even with low reliability characteristics of the sensors

Financement des parcours de soins en néphrologie

In France, serious difficulties exist in the management of patients suffering from chronic kidney disease: insufficient prevention, inequalities in access to transplantation, insufficient development of autonomous dialysis. The explanations are multifactorial but partly involve the procedures for remunerating professionals and health care facilities. To solve these problems related to the financing method, discussions have been underway for several years on the implementation of bundle payment, including all care and services. However, this evolution presents limits and risks for the quality of care, requiring the implementation of a precise framework in terms of guidelines and quality indicators, an efficient information and evaluation system, and a more integrated organization of care. During 2019, it is planned to carry out experiments on certain models of bundle payments for chronic kidney disease.

ENERGY EFFICIENT DIRECTION BASED ROUTING PROTOCOL FOR WSN

Energy consumption is one of the limitations in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). The routing protocols are the hot areas to address quality-of-service (QoS) related issues viz. Energy consumption, network lifetime, network scalability and packet overhead. The key issue in WSN is that these networks suffer from the packet overhead, which is the core cause of more energy consumption and damage the QoS in sensor networks. In WSN, there are several routing protocols which are used to improve the performance of the network. Out of those protocols, Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocol is more appropriate in terms of small energy density, but sometimes when the mode of a node changes from active to sleep, the effectiveness decreases as the data packets needs to wait at the initial point where the packet has been sent and this increases the waiting time and end to end interruption of the packets which leads to increase in energy consumption. Our problem is to recognize the dead nodes and to choose another suitable path so that the data transmission becomes smoother and less energy gets preserved. In order to resolve these issues, we propose directional transmission-based energy aware routing protocol named as PDORP. The proposed protocol PDORP has the characteristics of both Power Efficient Gathering Sensor Information System (PEGASIS) and DSR routing protocols. In addition, hybridization of Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Bacterial Foraging Optimization (BFO) is applied to proposed routing protocol to identify energy efficient optimal paths. The performance analysis, comparison through a hybridization approach of the proposed routing protocol gives better result comprising less bit error rate, less delay, less energy ingesting and better throughput which leads to better QoS and prolong the lifetime of the network. Moreover, the Computation Model is adopted to evaluate and compare the performance of the both routing protocols using soft calculating techniques.

Designing an Efficient Cloud Management Architecture for Sustainable Online Lifelong Education

As online learning and e-learning are prevalent and widely used in education, it is important to design an efficient and reliable information system for storing learning data and providing on-demand learning services. In this paper, we design a cloud-based information system architecture for online lifelong education. Since a cloud system is based on virtualization technology, we propose a virtual resource management scheme—virtual machine allocation and monitoring nodes assignment. With the proposed cloud-based architecture, we can build and operate an e-learning information system for online lifelong education, which requires efficiency, reliability, and persistence. The evaluation results show that our proposed method can deal with more tasks for e-learning (requests for learning management system (LMS) navigations, text learning contents, text and media learning contents, and video learning contents) while introducing 48× fewer service level agreement (SLA) violations than the existing method.

Identification of Micro-Scale Landforms of Landslides Using Precise Digital Elevation Models

An active gully-related landslide system is located in a deep valley under forest canopy cover. Generally, point clouds from forested areas have a lack of data connectivity, and optical parameters of scanning cameras lead to different densities of point clouds. Data noise or systematic errors (missing data) make the automatic identification of landforms under tree canopy problematic or impossible. We processed, analyzed, and interpreted data from a large-scale landslide survey, which were acquired by the light detection and ranging (LiDAR) technology, remotely piloted aircraft system (RPAS), and close-range photogrammetry (CRP) using the ‘Structure-from-Motion’ (SfM) method. LAStools is a highly efficient Geographic Information System (GIS) tool for point clouds pre-processing and creating precise digital elevation models (DEMs). The main landslide body and its landforms indicating the landslide activity were detected and delineated in DEM-derivatives. Identification of micro-scale landforms in precise DEMs at large scales allow the monitoring and the assessment of these active parts of landslides that are invisible in digital terrain models at smaller scales (obtained from aerial LiDAR or from RPAS) due to insufficient data density or the presence of many data gaps.

The creation of the Flemish research discipline list, an important step forward in harmonising research information (systems)

In 2011, Peters et al. [1] wrote a report on the administrative simplification of research reporting in Flanders. Next to the description of several data flows that could be harmonised, validated and merged into CRIS systems, the report also contained important recommendations on the use of common standards and classifications that could lead to more efficient and qualitative research information (systems) and thus more efficient research reporting. As such, in Flanders several classifications are used in research reporting. In the context of reporting on research output and expertise, data is clustered based on research disciplines. Currently, a variety of research discipline classification lists are utilised in Flanders, each depending on the authority to whom a researcher is obliged to report. Because the existence of several research discipline lists for a region as small as Flanders is redundant and inefficient, one of the most important recommendations of the report by Peters et al. [1] was the creation of a single research discipline code list that could be used to tag information inside CRIS systems for reporting, dissemination and visualisation purposes. The uniform definition and management of the semantics of this research discipline code list for all research actors in Flanders could have an immediate impact on the accuracy of reporting and the policy pursued on the basis thereof. In addition, such managed classification systems can be used in dynamic research information systems that drastically reduce the administrative burden of the research population, which automatically entails an important investment in research and innovation.
