Cloud computing offers streamlined instruments for outstanding business efficiency processes. Cloud distributors typically give two distinct forms of usage plans: Reserved as well as On-demand. Restricted policies provide inexpensive long-term contracting services, while order contracts were very expensive and ready for brief rather than long longer periods. In order to satisfy current customer demands with equal rates, cloud resources must be delivered wisely. Many current works depend mainly on low-cost resource-reserved strategies, which may be under-provisioning and over-provisioning rather than costly ondemand solutions. Since unfairness can cause enormous high availability costs and cloud demand variability in the distribution of cloud resources, resource allocation has become an extremely challenging issue. The hybrid approach to allocating cloud services according to complex customer orders is suggested in that article. The strategy was constructed as a two-step mechanism consisting of accommodation stages and then a versatile structure. In this way, by constructing each step primarily as an optimization problem, we minimize the total cost of implementation, thereby preserving service quality. By modeling client prerequisites as probability distributions are disseminated owing to the dubious presence of cloud requests, we set up a stochastic Optimization-based approach. Using various approaches, our technique is applied, and the results demonstrate its effectiveness when assigning individual cloud resources.

Abstract: Cloud computing provides streamlined tools for exceptional business efficiency. Cloud service providers typically offer two types of plans: reserved and on-demand. Restricted policies provide low-cost long-term contracting, while order contracts are expensive and ready for short periods. Cloud resources must be delivered wisely to meet current customer demands. Many current works rely on low-cost resource-reserved strategies, which may be under- or over-provisioning. Resource allocation has become a difficult issue due to unfairness causing high availability costs and cloud demand variability. That article suggests a hybrid approach to allocating cloud services to complex customer orders. The strategy was built in two stages: accommodation stages and a flexible structure. By treating each step as an optimization problem, we can reduce the overall implementation cost while maintaining service quality. Due to the uncertain nature of cloud requests, we set up a stochastic Optimization-based approach. Our technique is used to assign individual cloud resources and the results show its effectiveness.

Background: Number of resource allocation and bidding schemes had been enormously arrived for on demand supply scheme of cloud services. But accessing and presenting the Cloud services depending on the reputation would not produce fair result in cloud computing. Since the cloud users not only looking for the efficient services but in major they look towards the cost. So here there is a way of introducing the bidding option system that includes efficient user centric behavior analysis model to render the cloud services and resource allocation with low cost. Objective: The allocation of resources is not flexible and dynamic for the users in the recent days. This gave me the key idea and generated as a problem statement for my proposed work. Methods: An online auction framework that ensures multi bidding mechanism which utilizes user centric behavioral analysis to produce the efficient and reliable usage of cloud resources according to the user choice. Results: we implement Efficient Resource Allocation using Multi Bidding Model with User Centric Behavior Analysis. Thus the algorithm is implemented and system is designed in such a way to provide better allocation of cloud resources which ensures bidding and user behavior. Conclusion: Thus the algorithm Efficient Resource Allocation using Multi Bidding Model with User Centric Behavior Analysis is implemented & system is designed in such a way to provide better allocation of cloud resources which ensures bidding, user behavior. The user bid data is trained accordingly such that to produce efficient resource utilization. Further the work can be taken towards data analytics and prediction of user behavior while allocating the cloud resources.

Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing are the expertise captivating the technology. The most astonishing thing is their interdependence. IoT deals with the production of an additional amount of information that requires transmission of data, storage, and huge infrastructural processing power, posing a solemn delinquent. This is where cloud computing fits into the scenario. Cloud computing can be treated as the utility factor nowadays and can be used by pay as you go manner. As a cloud is a multi-tenant approach, and the resources will be used by multiple users. The cloud resources are required to be monitored, maintained, and configured and set-up as per the need of the end-users. This paper describes the mechanisms for monitoring by using the concept of reinforcement learning and prediction of the cloud resources, which forms the critical parts of cloud expertise in support of controlling and evolution of the IT resources and has been implemented using LSTM. The resource management system coordinates the IT resources among the cloud provider and the end users; accordingly, multiple instances can be created and managed as per the demand and availability of the support in terms of resources. The proper utilization of the resources will generate revenues to the provider and also increases the trust factor of the provider of cloud services. For experimental analysis, four parameters have been used i.e. CPU utilization, disk read/write throughput and memory utilization. The scope of this research paper is to manage the Cloud Computing resources during the peak time and avoid the conditions of the over and under-provisioning proactively.

Recent technical advances in the computer-vision domain have facilitated the development of various methods for achieving image-based quantification of stomata-related traits. However, the installation cost of such a system and the difficulties of operating it on-site have been hurdles for experimental biologists. Here, we present a platform that allows real-time stomata detection during microscopic observation. The proposed system consists of a deep neural network model-based stomata detector and an upright microscope connected to a USB camera and a graphics processing unit (GPU)-supported single-board computer. All the hardware components are commercially available at common electronic commerce stores at a reasonable price. Moreover, the machine-learning model is prepared based on freely available cloud services. This approach allows users to set up a phenotyping platform at low cost. As a proof of concept, we trained our model to detect dumbbell-shaped stomata from wheat leaf imprints. Using this platform, we collected a comprehensive range of stomatal phenotypes from wheat leaves. We confirmed notable differences in stomatal density (SD) between adaxial and abaxial surfaces and in stomatal size (SS) between wheat-related species of different ploidy. Utilizing such a platform is expected to accelerate research that involves all aspects of stomata phenotyping.

ABSTRACTPortland cement concrete (PCC) structures deteriorate with age and need to be maintained or replaced. Early detection of deterioration in PCC (e.g., alkali-silica reaction, freeze/thaw damage, or chloride presence) can lead to significant reductions in maintenance costs. However, it is often too late to perform low-cost preventative maintenance by the time deterioration becomes evident. By developing techniques that would enable civil engineers to evaluate PCC structures and detect deterioration at early stages (without causing further damage), optimization of life-cycle costs of the constructed facility and minimization of disturbance to the facility users can be achieved.Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) methods are potentially one of the most useful techniques ever developed for assessing constructed facilities. They are noninvasive and can be performed rapidly. Portland cement concrete can be nondestructively evaluated by electrically characterizing its complex dielectric constant. The real part of the dielectric constant depicts the velocity of electromagnetic waves in PCC. The imaginary part, termed the “loss factor,” describes the conductivity of PCC and the attenuation of electromagnetic waves.Dielectric properties of PCC have been investigated in a laboratory setting using a parallel plate capacitor operating in the frequency range of 0.1 to 40.1MIHz. This capacitor set-up consists of two horizontal-parallel plates with an adjustable separation for insertion of a dielectric specimen (PCC). While useful in research, this approach is not practical for field implementation. A new capacitor probe has been developed which consists of two plates, located within the same horizontal plane, for placement upon the specimen to be tested. Preliminary results show that this technique is feasible and results are promising; further testing and evaluation is currently underway.

Abstract For those attempting fault isolation on computer motherboard power-ground short issues, the optimal technique should utilize existing test equipment available in the debug facility, requiring no specialty equipment as well as needing a minimum of training to use effectively. The test apparatus should be both easy to set up and easy to use. This article describes the signal injection and oscilloscope technique which meets the above requirements. The signal injection and oscilloscope technique is based on the application of Ohm's law in a short-circuit condition. Two experiments were conducted to prove the effectiveness of these techniques. Both experiments simulate a short-circuit condition on the VCC3 power rail of a good working PC motherboard and then apply the signal injection and oscilloscope technique to localize the short. The technique described is a simple, low cost and non-destructive method that helps to find the location of the power-ground short quickly and effectively.

AbstractA large number of landslides occur in North-Eastern Italy during every rainy period due to the particular hydrogeological conditions of this area. Even if there are no casualties, the economic losses are often significant, and municipalities frequently do not have sufficient financial resources to repair the damage and stabilize all the unstable slopes. In this regard, the research for more economically sustainable solutions is a crucial challenge. Floating composite anchors are an innovative and low-cost technique set up for slope stabilization: it consists in the use of passive sub-horizontal reinforcements, obtained by coupling a traditional self-drilling bar with some tendons cemented inside it. This work concerns the application of this technique according to the observational method described within the Italian and European technical codes and mainly recommended for the design of geotechnical works, especially when performed in highly uncertain site conditions. The observational method prescribes designing an intervention and, at the same time, using a monitoring system in order to correct and adapt the project during realization of the works on the basis of new data acquired while on site. The case study is the landslide of Cischele, a medium landslide which occurred in 2010 after an exceptional heavy rainy period. In 2015, some floating composite anchors were installed to slow down the movement, even if, due to a limited budget, they were not enough to ensure the complete stabilization of the slope. Thanks to a monitoring system installed in the meantime, it is now possible to have a comparison between the site conditions before and after the intervention. This allows the evaluation of benefits achieved with the reinforcements and, at the same time, the assessment of additional improvements. Two stabilization scenarios are studied through an FE model: the first includes the stabilization system built in 2015, while the second evaluates a new solution proposed to further increase the slope stability.
