A method for extraction of the multi-layered social network based on the data about human collaborative achievements, in particular scientific papers, is presented in the paper. The objects linking people form a hierarchy, which is flattened in the pre-processing stage. Only one level of the hierarchy remains together with new activities moved from its other levels. Separate layers of the multi-layered social network are created based on these pre-processed activities.

Google has recently released the video compression format VP8 to the open source community. This new compression format competes against the existing H.264 video standard developed by the ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group (VCEG) in collaboration with the ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG). This paper compares these two video coding standards in terms of video bit rate-distortion (quality) performance and the video network traffic variability with different long video sequences. We find that VP8 presently does not fulfill its promise to achieve twice the quality at half the bandwidth compared to H.264. The rate-distortion (RD) performance of VP8 is rather slightly below the RD performance of H.264. On the positive side, in contrast to H.264, VP8 has no license fees.
Social networks can be extracted from different data about communication or common activities in organizations, companies or various Internet-based services. Different types of data processed may result in creation of...

Technological and economic trends in data centers push toward facilities operated at higher ambient temperatures and at higher power densities to meet ever-increasing computational demands. Conventionally, data centers are cooled with vapor-compressor equipment which requires extra power to be driven. This paper proposes an alternative and sustainable data center cooling architecture that is heat driven. The thermal source is the heat produced by the data center room's equipment. A major challenge is providing both enough cooling to the data center and enough exergy to drive the cooling process, regardless of the thermal output of the data center equipment. This challenge is addressed by the use of organic heat storage and a sustainably powered (i.e. solar-powered) heat source, leading potentially to a PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) value of less than one.

The population of 102Zr following the β decay of 102Y produced in the projectile fission of 238U at the GSI facility in Darmstadt, Germany has been studied. 102Y is known to ß decay into 102Zr via two states, one of high spin and the other low spin. These states preferentially populate different levels in the 102Zr daughter. In this paper the intensities of transitions in 102Zr observed are compared with those from the decay of the low-spin level studied at the TRISTAN facility at Brookhaven National Laboratory and of the high-spin level studied at the JOSEF separator at the Kernforschungsanlage Jülich.

In this paper, we propose an automatic way of recommending information to be visualized by users. The list of information to be recommended is generated based on the web logs of the users stored by the system in a multi relational database. This system is a web-based multi-agent system which provides geographical information and monitors the actions of the users by generating logs. Frequently, the system joins the relational web log data and runs a clustering algorithm in order to recommend a list of most accessed information up to that moment to registered users who log in the system.

Modern machine learning techniques have encouraged interest in the development of vehicle health monitoring systems that ensure secure and reliable operations of rail vehicles. In an earlier study, an energy-efficient data acquisition method was investigated to develop a monitoring system for railway applications using modern machine learning techniques, more specific classification algorithms. A suitable classifier was proposed for railway monitoring based on relative weighted performance metrics. To improve the performance of the existing approach, a rule-based learning method using statistical analysis has been proposed in this paper to select a unique classifier for the same application. This selected algorithm works more efficiently and improves the overall performance of the railway monitoring systems. This study has been conducted using six classifiers, namely REPTree, J48, Decision Stump, IBK, PART and OneR, with twenty-five datasets. The Waikato Environment for Knowledge Analysis (WEKA) learning tool has been used in this study to develop the prediction models.
