As-puma ; anycast semantics in parking using metaheuristic approach
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
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

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)
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
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
