This study investigates the role of customer intimacy, commitment, and trust in increasing their loyalty mediating across nexus. A total 500 questionnaires were disseminated but 404 these included for analysis (approx. 81% response rate). The hypotheses tested through structural equation modeling technique using smart PLS. results indicate that has a significant nexus with loyalty. Both commitm...

Few-mode fibers have been used in contemporary communication with mode multiplexing and space-division-multiplexing techniques to enhance the capacity crunch recent links. The design parameters of proposed fiber are predicted through machine learning-based inverse approach, using regression model. few-mode fibre profile an accuracy 99.95% guide five ten modes weak coupling among guided modes. I...

The excessive focus on water mounts a challenge to the sustainable development. Energy is another aspect that should be taken into account. Nexus approach is characterized by an equal emphasis on energy and water spheres. In arid areas, like the city of Kashan, Iran, non-conventional waters (e.g. desalinated and recycled waters) have been considered as an alternative resource of water. Nexus wa...

We discuss the fastboot interface of the Android bootloader, an area of fragmentation in Android devices. We then present a variety of vulnerabilities we have found across multiple Android devices. Most notable ones include Secure Boot & Device Locking bypasses in the Motorola and OnePlus 3/3T bootloaders. Another critical flaw in OnePlus 3/3T enables easy attacks by malicious chargers – the on...

There is much controversy surrounding the poverty-environmental degradation nexus. The predominant school of thought argues that poverty is a major cause of environmental degradation and if policy makers want to address the environmental issues, then they must first address the poverty problem. Another school of thought argues that this causal link is too simplistic and the nexus is governed by...

In this paper, we present a new type of Globus resource allocation manager (GRAM) called RMF (Resource Manager beyond the Firewall) for wide-area cluster computing. RMFmanages computing resources such as cluster systems and enables utilization of them beyond the rewall in global computing environments. RMF consists of two basic modules, a remote job queuing system (Q system) and a resource allo...

Globus Nexus is a professionally hosted Platform-as-a-Service that provides identity, profile and group management functionality for the research community. Many collaborative e-Science applications need to manage large numbers of user identities, profiles, and groups. However, developing and maintaining such capabilities is often challenging given the complexity of modern security protocols an...

Peterson, Benjamin D. M.S., Purdue University, May 2012. Security Implications of the Cisco Nexus 1000V. Major Professor: Phillip Rawles. Virtualization is a technology that has become increasingly popular with those wishing to reduce the energy consumption of their datacenters. This is especially true since virtualization technology allows multiple physical servers to be consolidated onto a si...
