The United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goal Life Below Water (SDG-14) aims to “conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas, marine resources for sustainable development”. Within SDG-14, targets 14.1 14.2 deal with pollution adverse impacts of human activities on aquatic systems. Here, we present a remote-sensing-based analysis short-term changes in Vembanad-Kol wetland system southwest I...

Game-based practicing of materials can be seen as a method of capturing an essence of real- life expe-rience which is commonly missing in the conventional face-to-face classrooms. To serve the L2 learn-ers'' immediate communicative needs in wider classroom and societal contexts, this study sought to place L2 English learners within an interactional social framework through reinforcing their Eng...

The next generation of ground-based astronomical observatories will require fabrication and maintenance of extremely large segmented mirrors tens of meters in diameter. At present, the large production of segments required by projects like E-ELT and TMT poses time frames and costs feasibility questions. This is principally due to a bottleneck stage in the optical fabrication chain: the final fi...

CPU time-share process schedulers for computer operating systems have existed since Corbato published his paper on the Compatible Time Sharing System in 1962 [8]. With this new type of scheduler came the need to effectively divide CPU time between N processes, where N could be 2 or more processes. Modern time-sharing process schedulers which have been developed in the decades since have been de...

Fast reliability testing is a key point for IlI-V technologies. This is particularly true when modifications have to be implemented on the production line. Such modifications can be soned in four categories: raw material, new equipment, prncess slep and design rule modifications. Endurance tests have to be performed to ensure that through the modified steps the reliability of the technology has...

R ule Responder is a framework for specifying virtual organizations as semantic multi-agent systems that support collaborative teams. It provides the infrastructure for rule-based collaboration between the distributed members of such a virtual organization. Human members of an organization are assisted by (semi-)autonomous rule-based agents, which use Semantic Web rules to describe aspects of t...

We give an elementary proof of a theorem of Bruhat, Tits and Rousseau, and also of a theorem of Tits. Let k be a field with a non-trivial non-archimedean valuation v. We shall assume that the valuation v has a (up to equivalence) unique extension to any finite field extension of k, or, equivalently, k is henselian for v (i. e. the HenseFs lemma holds in k with respect to v). We fix an algebraic...

Decentralized learning has gained great popularity to improve efficiency and preserve data privacy. Each computing node makes equal contribution collaboratively learn a Deep Learning model. The elimination of centralized Parameter Servers (PS) can effectively address many issues such as privacy, performance bottleneck single-point-failure. However, how achieve Byzantine Fault Tolerance in decen...
