    As-puma ; anycast semantics in parking using metaheuristic approach

    Full text link
    The number of vehicle used in the world are increasing day by day resulting in the obvious problem of parking of these vehicles in residential and vocational areas. We perceive the problem of vehicles parking in vocational establishments / malls. Today majority of parking systems are manual parking systems where in, on the spot, parking of the vehicle is done and a parking slip is generated and handed over to customer. This is cumbersome technique wherein various parking attendants in the parking areas manually keeps on informing the Parking inspector on how many free parking slots available so that only that many number of parking slips/tickets are generated as the number of free parking slots. We address the problem of parking in Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) by proposing metaheuristic driven approach of Ant Colony optimization (ACO) technique with anycast semantics models . Here we propose the parking architecture to solve the problem of parking especially in commercial areas with their design diagrams . In this architecture we apply the delivery model to deliver the packet correctly to the intended receiver. Using this we can book various parkings through remote areas so that the customer can get the information about availability of various parkings inside an area and the parking fare for each category of the automobile. Using this architecture the customer can get the prior knowledge about various vacant parking slots inside a parking area and he can book the corresponding parking from his location

    Data-dependent probability matching priors for empirical and related likelihoods

    Full text link
    We consider a general class of empirical-type likelihoods and develop higher order asymptotics with a view to characterizing members thereof that allow the existence of possibly data-dependent probability matching priors ensuring approximate frequentist validity of posterior quantiles. In particular, for the usual empirical likelihood, positive results are obtained. This is in contrast with what happens if only data-free priors are entertained.Comment: Published in at http://dx.doi.org/10.1214/074921708000000057 the IMS Collections (http://www.imstat.org/publications/imscollections.htm) by the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (http://www.imstat.org

    A comprehensive study of Modulation effects on CMB Polarization

    This article does the most general treatment of modulation in Polarization fields. We have considered both linear polarization fields Q and U & also scalar polarization modes E and B. We have shown that any arbitrary modulation in Q and U is allowed but the same can't be done in case of E and B fields. This result also gives a mathematical justification that the masking can only be applied to the Q and U fields and never to E and B fields.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figures, minor corrections, to be submitte

    The Empire Writes Back (to Michael Ignatieff)

    Get PDF
    This article critiques the re-legitimisation of empire evident in recent writing by Michael Ignatieff. It begins by locating his work within the larger debate on empire emerging today. Focusing first on Ignatieff's more general comments on empire, it suggests that his defensive case for empire is misleading: it ignores the extent to which the circumstances allegedly necessitating `new' empire are themselves a consequence of older empire, and indeed older US empire. Focusing next on Ignatieff's largely consequentialist case for the 2003 attack on Iraq, it argues that the `success' of the imperial project — to the extent that this requires the cooperation of Iraqis — will depend crucially on the motives of the imperialists. Without engaging directly with Ignatieff's work, the final section addresses some of the questions that the foregoing critique may have raised. In particular, it examines critically the claim that empires are legitimised by the public goods they provide

    Communication complexity of remote state preparation with entanglement

    Full text link
    We consider the problem of remote state preparation recently studied in several papers. We study the communication complexity of this problem, in the presence of entanglement and in the scenario of single use of the channel.Comment: 4 pages, no figure, ver3: Version to appear in Quantum information and computatio
