Green Cloud Computing In Developing Regions: Moving Data And Processing Closer To The End User, Bruce Baikie, Laura Hosman

Political Science

The Internet has provided an unlimited potential with access to ebooks, multimedia content, news, new ideas, and information access in general. Yet, due to poor broadband infrastructure and available grid power to support the Internet and ICT growth, the developing regions have actually been left even further behind. The basic requirements in any developing region (beyond clean water and food) are a reliable electric power grid, network infrastructure, education, jobs, and a stable government and banking system. Nothing works without the electric and network infrastructure in place. The sad fact is diesel generators are used to power everything in place …

Signquote: A Remote Testing Facility For Eliciting Signed Qualitative Feedback, Jerry Schnepp, Rosalee Wolfe, Brent Shiver, John Mcdonald, Jorge Toro

Visual Communications and Technology Education Faculty Publications

Sign synthesis is still an evolving technology and improving it requires the elicitation of qualitative feedback from users. Current options for acquiring qualitative feedback are limited. Face-toface tests conducted in sign language are expensive. On the other hand, remote tests do not use the preferred language of the test participants. A new tool, SignQUOTE, (Signed Qualitative Usability Online Testing Environment) is a configurable, cross platform remote testing system based entirely on sign language. It includes an innovative method for capturing qualitative feedback in sign language via webcam. In a comparison study, participants viewed animations of American Sign Language and gave …

A Local-Level App Vs A National-Level App: Evaluation Of M-Grocery Apps From The Ux And The Service Performance Perspective, Hasyim Asyari, Devy Alfianur Fathu Ulya, Katon Muhammad, Indro Prakoso, Reza Azizul Nasa Al Hakim

Elinvo (Electronics, Informatics, and Vocational Education)

In Indonesia, the increase in internet users, reaching 215.63 million in 2022-2023, has facilitated the growth of mobile shopping applications like Sayurbox and Beceran, which cater to daily needs such as groceries and fresh food items. Despite receiving high user ratings, these applications face technical issues that could impact user satisfaction and company revenue. This study aims to evaluate the service quality and user experience of the Sayurbox and Beceran applications using the M-S-QUAL and UX Benchmarking methods. The M-S-QUAL method assesses service quality across nine dimensions, while UX Benchmarking evaluates user satisfaction, ease of use, error counts, success rates, …

Multi-Objective Optimization Of Mems-Based Box Pattern Microheaters Using Response Surface Method, Onny Setyawati, Moch. Agus Choiron, Axel Bangert, Carl Sandhagen

Elinvo (Electronics, Informatics, and Vocational Education)

We present a response surface method to evaluate multi-objective optimization for MEMS-based microheater design. Box pattern, the standard microheater shape, was selected in this study since it has a uniform temperature distribution compared to other patterns. The optimum parameters are used to obtain the maximum total current density and Joule heat. Based on a hybrid of the Response Surface Method and Central Composited Design, the model simulation emerged with 25 sets of Design Experiments. As expected, the voltage is proportional to the increased output temperature and Joule heat of the microheater. Material thermal conductivity, anchor length and thickness of the …

The Effective Tax Rate Of The Largest Us And Eu Multinationals, Reuven S. Avi-Yonah, Yaron Lahav

Law & Economics Working Papers

This paper compares the effective tax rates of the 100 largest US multinationals to the 100 largest EU multinationals for the period 2001-2010, based on financial disclosures. The paper finds that despite the higher US statutory rate the effective tax rates are comparable and that EU multinationals tend to have a higher effective tax rate. The likely explanation is that EU corporate taxes have a broader base. The paper concludes that current US tax law does not subject US based multinationals to a competitive disadvantage against their EU based competitors.

Thrombospondin1 Deficiency Reduces Obesity-Associated Inflammation And Improves Insulin Sensitivity In A Diet-Induced Obese Mouse Model, Yanzhang Li, Xiaopeng Tong, Courtney Rumala, Kate Clemons, Shuxia Wang

Graduate Center for Nutritional Sciences Faculty Publications

BACKGROUND: Obesity is prevalent worldwide and is associated with insulin resistance. Advanced studies suggest that obesity-associated low-grade chronic inflammation contributes to the development of insulin resistance and other metabolic complications. Thrombospondin 1 (TSP1) is a multifunctional extracellular matrix protein that is up-regulated in inflamed adipose tissue. A recent study suggests a positive correlation of TSP1 with obesity, adipose inflammation, and insulin resistance. However, the direct effect of TSP1 on obesity and insulin resistance is not known. Therefore, we investigated the role of TSP1 in mediating obesity-associated inflammation and insulin resistance by using TSP1 knockout mice.

METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Male TSP1-/- mice …

The Knowledge-Driven Exploration Of Integrated Biomedical Knowledge Sources Facilitates The Generation Of New Hypotheses, Vinh Nguyen, Olivier Bodenreider, Todd Minning, Amit P. Sheth

Kno.e.sis Publications

Knowledge gained from the scientific literature can complement newly obtained experimental data in helping researchers understand the pathological processes underlying diseases. However, unless the scientific literature and experimental data are semantically integrated, it is generally difficult for scientists to exploit the two sources effectively. We argue that, in addition to the semantic integration of heterogeneous knowledge sources, the usability of the integrated resource by scientists is dependent upon the availability of knowledge visualization and exploration tools. Moreover, the integration techniques must be scalable and the exploration interfaces must be easy to use by bench scientists. The end goal of such …

Effect On The Processing Characteristics Of Zno Varistors Produced Using Vibratory Milling, Maura Kelleher, M.S.J. Hashmi

Conference Papers

Abstract. Each manufacturing stage in the production of zinc oxide varistors from powder preparation to the final encapsulated device is important not only for the formation of the varistor component with optimum microstructure and thus electrical characteristics but also for avoiding the introduction of flaws and reduced yield. In this paper the authors describe and discuss the effect of multi-elemental oxide additives having been milled for different durations using a vibratory mill with cylindrical zirconia media on the powder characteristics of the subsequent processing stages. A commercial ZnO varistor formulation was used. The subsequent processing stages that are given particular …

A Novel Characterization Method Of The Radiation Emission For Electromagnetic Compatibility, Ping Li, Lijun Jiang

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Conventionally the radiation emissions from PCB boards, electronic devices and antennas were characterized through the near field (NF)-far field (FF) transformation to find the equivalent sources. In this paper, a new methodology without NF-FF transformation is presented. Based on the uniqueness theorem, it only employs the measured tangential field over a spherical surface to rigorously characterize the outward radiation emission. The dyadic Green's function for the perfect magnetic conductor (PMC) sphere is derived using spherical wave functions. Based on this dyadic Green's function and integral equations, the NF-FF transformation is not necessary any more. To facilitate feasible near field measurements, …
