Enhancement of Security and Energy Efficiency in Cloud Computing

This paper focuses on the job scheduling in cloud environment. Here the task has been scheduled in cloud and fog. Cloud provides services to heavy application while fog provides service to lighter application. The job scheduler would be helpful to reduce burden of cloud and help in energy optimization. The jobs are scheduled according to their types and priority. Various job scheduling algorithm such as gang scheduling, FCFS and round robin mechanism have been discussed in this research for load balancing and improve the compilation time. The simulation has been made using Matlab on virtual machines.

Evaluation of Implementation of Post-Transition Management Post Report by Provincial Government (Case Study at State Senior High School 19 and State Senior High School 20 Surabaya)

Precisely As of January 2017, Senior High School / Senior Vocational School officially managed the province. Naming Online Reports become an e-report card. Online report cards can be accessed by guardians and students wherever located. While the online report card still can not be accessed publicly. Accessible only by teacher, admin / operator. Match Evaluation Research Results: The e-Rapor Policy is appropriate and feasible to maintain. The e-Rapor policy does not require a new policy as a replacement. Evaluation of Effectiveness: Facilitate the incorporation of scores, chart student scores and also counseling guidance and connect with DAPODIK Center. Service Performance B or Satisfactory, Evaluation Efficiency: Input issued with the output / output of e-report cards is comparable. Effect of e-Rapor is efficient. Meta Evaluation: This e-Rapor evaluation is performed by Provincial School Trustees professionally per semester Evaluation result e - Reports into school considerations in taking policy. Factors That Become Constraints: The e-Rapor application often updates the system. Have not yet adjusted the e-Rapor Application with the revised 2013 curriculum. Technically e-Rapor application is classified as heavy application.4) Limit Description KIKD 60 characters. Suggestions and recommendations: For School Parties: Continue to upgrade server and speed in order to increase e-Rapor access. For Kemendikbud: The application of e-Rapor is technically not a heavy application. 3) No Limitations of 60 characters for KIKD description. In the future e-Rapor can be accessed by parents.

Can Heritage Bots Thrive? Toward Future Engagement in Cultural Heritage

In the digital age, cultural organizations strive to retain audience engagement especially via experimentation with novel technologies and social media. The latter are increasingly influencing the way cultural heritage is perceived, providing options for grappling with crucial issues in the sector, including sustainability, openness, and public participation. One tool that has been deployed to explore these issues is the chatbot, a computer program designed to simulate conversation with human users, especially over the internet. Chatbots run through different conversational interfaces, but they have a particularly heavy application in Facebook Messenger. Within the museums and cultural sector specifically, these robotic media are regularly proclaimed to offer novel engagement mechanisms that can empower participants to actively participate in the heritage process. However, most heritage Messenger bots are purely informative and object- or exhibit-centered, providing little opportunity for meaningful interactivity, creative expression, or critical engagement. This article explores and critically reviews three Messenger chatbots related to heritage organizations, concluding with suggestions for their future development.

Screening and management of false smut disease in rice-A review

False smut of rice caused by Ustilaginoidea virens (Cooke), increasing concern in majority of rice growing areas around the world as epidemics have been reported lately. The fungus completely converts the grains into spore balls, unfit for consumption and seed production. With the increase in disease, yield loss and disease severity is accentuating. The QTLs responsible for the false smut resistance to be identified and consistent inheritability of these QTLs have to be evaluated using marker assisted selection. Due to heavy application of nitrogenous fertilizers the disease aggravates, proper management strategies needed to be framed to control the false smut disease. Progress in achieving the resistance varieties and management of false smut needs more emphasis. This review summarizes the present status in the screening of resistant varieties and management of false smut in rice.

Persistence of Indigenous Escherichia coli in Raw Bovine Manure-Amended Soil

ABSTRACT The Food Safety Modernization Act attempts to reduce produce-related foodborne illness by using preventive rather than reactive measures. The goal of this research was to determine the persistence of manure-borne generic Escherichia coli under laboratory and field conditions. The population density of naturally occurring E. coli was ∼7.2 and 5.4 log CFU/10 g in pre- and postscreened manures, respectively. Postscreened (i.e. after the liquid manure has passed through a screen) manure was applied at light, medium, and heavy rates to fields in Live Oak and Citra, FL, during the fall and summer. Laboratory microcosms of the manure-amended soils (comparable to the field's heavy application rate of manure) from both locations were maintained at 20 and 30°C. Persistence of E. coli, moisture content, and pH were monitored until E. coli became unrecoverable. The longest E. coli persistence seen in field trails was during the summer and fall trials from Citra (heavy application) that terminated on day 112 and day 280, respectively. The rate of E. coli decay ranged from 0.02 to 0.04 log CFU per day across all manure application rates, seasons, and locations. In the microcosm studies, the E. coli became extinct on day 210 in the 30°C, whereas they became unrecoverable on day 420 in the 20°C microcosms. The relatively prolonged persistence of E. coli in the microcosms suggests that survival under laboratory conditions does not mimic real-world survival rates and may not be adequate for predicting E. coli persistence in the field. The persistence data also suggest that the risk from E. coli associated with new contamination events, such as wild life intrusion, runoff, or other vectors, may be greater than the risk associated with the long-term survival of manure-borne E. coli, although more work is needed to confirm this hypothesis.
