QUESTION: "EXAMINE URBANIZATION IN INDIA WITH SPECIFIC REFERENCE TO
URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE PROVISIONING."
INTRODUCTION
Urbanization is a process under which continuously rural people migrate from villages to the cities.
Through this process, firstly they gather at one place and form a town and gradually, it became the
city or mega city. Some of them permanently settled there and some of them temporarily live at both
places i.e. rural and urban areas.
The process of society from rural area to urban areas define the urbanization. It includes two things,
the increasing the number of people living in urban settlement and increase the percentage of
population. In rural area, they basically indulge in agricultural work whereas in urban area, they
engage in industries, where they can earn good livelihood.
Urbanization has become common feature of Indian society, growth of industry has led to migration
of people towards the cities. Consequently, the formation of urban areas had been fully fledged and
come to occur. Natural increase of urbanization can occur if the natural population growth in the
cities is higher than in the rural areas. By 2020, a majority of the population of developing countries
will live in urban areas.

Managing Users in Heterogeneous IT Landscapes
One of the main challenge organizations is facing is managing users in heterogeneous IT landscapes.
Organizations are preferring the access control via role management (Franqueira, V. N. L et al.,
2012). With the evolving responsibilities, the system landscape is becoming more and more
complex and difficult to manage and track (SAP1, 2012). With SAP NetWeaver Identity

the cloud service provider (CSP). Components typically are connected to other components e.g. an
application component runs on an operating system and connects to a database and external
services. These composite applications rely on component–based modular architectures and are
benefited from cloud properties such as high reliability, elasticity, scalability, flexibility, and high
availability~cite{varia,buyya2009cloud}. Application provisioning enables the business users to

Taking a Look at Ecosystem Services

Ecosystems are dynamic and involve the interaction of living organisms with the components of the
environment as a functional unit, by depending on the ecosystem services. These services are
critically important in supporting the well–being of many organisms especially humans. The
services include regulating services (e.g. climate regulation – carbon sequestration), provisioning
services (e.g. food, wood for fuel), cultural services (e.g. ecotourism) and supporting services (e.g.
nutrient cycling), however they have been degrading over the years.
The lack of proper governance and management with regard to the ecosystem and its services has
become a serious concern as indicated in the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment report and the Rio
+20 report. Biodiversity is decreasing and resulting in the gradual loss of certain crucial ecosystem
services that we will not be able to artificially replace should they be completely lost. By monitoring
and measuring the ecosystem services, better management strategies can be developed, critical
services can be identified and information can be used to educate people of the value and
importance of services.

Essay On SLA
INTRODUCTION
Cloud computing is one of the new models of computing that is used to provide for the computing
infrastructure. A good computing cloud data management system must satisfy the following goals
like availability, scalability, elasticity, performance [1]. The cloud computing looks to satisfy the
needs of various levels of clients and workloads. Hence a guaranteed contract between the service
provider and the clients has been made known as the Service Level Agreement (SLA). Both the
providers and consumers consider successful SLA management.

Scaling up involves making use of a bigger machine as the database server and scaling out is
focused on replicating the data. To make use of the replicated data the snapshot of the database has
to be taken for regular intervals of time. A trade–off occurs between the snapshot time and the size
of the lo of transactions.
The SLA–based provisioning in [2] focus on the SLA metrics of the total transaction time more than
the throughput of the database. Practically, the requirements of SLA vary between the types of
application transactions.
The difference in the SLA is because of the different behaviours of the system resources. The
framework helps the service provider to design specific action rules for the application to adapt to
the scale in or scale out technique.
For the experimental evaluation in [2], the authors used MySQL proxy software, Lua scripting
language, application server, web server and database server. These are hosted on a virtual machine.
The experiment was conducted using the Berkeley Cloud–stone benchmark. The experiment is to
evaluate the behaviour of the SLA based provisioning of database against the traditional method of
monitoring the utilization mechanism. The authors configured two read/write ratios 50/50 and

State Of The Art : Cloud Computing
3 State of the Art Cloud computing was founded on already–existing computing technologies, such
as distributed computing (Clusters, Grids), Internet technologies (Web Services, Service Oriented
Architectures, Web 2.0), virtualization and systems management (autonomic computing, data centre
automation) [11]. Specifically, with the advent of Cloud computing, the benefits of these
technologies have been combined and further improved. Cloud basically presents a suitable
environment for convenient, on–demand network access to a pool of configurable computing
resources that can be mutually accessed and provisioned with insignificant administration effort or
service provider interaction [1]. The optimal provisioning of these compute resources to meet
certain predefined performance criteria is a complex problem which has attracted much research
attention [12][13]. This problem comprise the steps involved in the allocation of suitable computing
resources to tasks with the aim of optimizing certain objectives. Some objective functions include
but not limited to; maximizing task throughput, minimizing the time of task completion and
maximizing the utilization of resources. Research outputs in the grid computing paradigm [14][15]

software and sometimes hardware that captures cloud network and host activity data in reporting
tools, analyzes the data interactively, provides an automatic reaction (e.g., alarm) during an incident,
and after an incident routes the cloud data to a security channel defined at runtime. Figure 4.2:

In the V–IDS context, the module uses two different methods for analysis:  The attack signature
represents the simplest way to analyze IDS data. It is like static packet filtering, which is similar to
the firewall rationale.  Anomaly detection (heuristics) represents the most sophisticated technique,
in which heuristic patterns try to detect variations from historically normal operation. 4.6.2 Decision
module The decision module is part of the close chain control system that, using the data which has
arrived from the analysis module, makes decisions about the real time actions necessary to solve
anomalies related to network intrusions. This module implements the logic necessary to analyze
behaviors and makes decisions about the anomalies discovered. 4.6.3 Action module The action
module represents the actuator that solves the intrusion detection situation on a cloud domain.
Merely collecting and analyzing data accomplishes nothing. The V–IDS uses the results from the
analysis in order to manage the cloud infrastructure on the basis of security. Most obviously, it also
generates alarms, reports and queries if the analysis indicates a dangerous condition. 4.6.4

Food self–provisioning represents a very different kind of relationship between humans, food and
the environment. Food self–provisioning and sharing the excess are generally social practices with
low environmental impacts; these, in turn, promote social  community bonds which are
compatible with sustainability (Jehlicka, 2013b). It requires little research effort, has no
governmental intervention (unless the use of allotments is involved) and practices vary widely
around the world. Food self–provisioning is generally environmentally and socially sustainable. It
follows that if an individual changes their agency (whether through a change in values or beliefs or
out of conscience) and that individual then changes their behaviour, they may set a precedent that
others then follow. (Jehlicka, 2013b). Research shows that these practices promote local social,
ecological and environmental resilience by strengthening networks of cooperation between families,
friends, neighbours and co–workers (Jehlicka, 2013b). Alongside this is the reduction of waste as
surplus is distributed amongst networks that encompass urban and rural family and friends, which
also has the added benefit of reducing excess resource and energy consumption; this is both socially
and environmentally sustainable. It gives practitioners control over what they produce as on a very
general level food self–provisioning involves very modest amounts (if any) of fossil fuel–based
and/or fertilisers and pesticides. This, along with that fact that little (if any) fossil fuel is used in the

The Role Of Climate Change In The Clackamas River Basin
We propose to investigate how climate change and disturbances, considered external drivers, might
affect landscape structure, the provisioning of ecosystem services, and human perceptions related to
natural resource planning in the Clackamas River Basin, located in Clackamas County, Oregon. The
goal of the present project is to provide stakeholders in the Clackamas River Basin with a first–cut
evaluation of how the effects of climate changes on the Upper Basin may impact provisioning
services directly linked to water (i.e., freshwater, fish, timber, and hydroelectric power) using a

We assume that the public cloud infrastructure provides proper security and data backup solutions
with a Service Level Agreement (SLA) and mechanisms to fairly share its virtual resources among

An Elastic Resource Scaling System For Iaas Cloud Essay
In this section, we review three recent research articles that address different aspects of the elasticity
problem in the cloud, which can be used to improve cloud elasticity. In the first paper, Islam et al.
[3] proposed ways to quantify the elasticity concept in a cloud for a consumer. In the second paper,
Nguyen et al. [13] proposed an elastic resource scaling system for IaaS cloud providers to predict
the future resource needs of a cloud application. In the third paper, Han et al. [14] proposed an
elastic scaling approach to detect and analyze bottlenecks within multi–tier cloud applications. In
the following sections, we summarize and critique these articles and then synthesize the articles. 3.1
How a consumer can measure elasticity for cloud platform 3.1.1 Summary In the paper [3], the
authors propose a way for consumers to measure the elasticity properties of different cloud
platforms. The objective of the research is to help a consumer to measure and compare elasticity of
cloud providers (e.g., how elastic is Amazon EC2 compared to Microsoft Azure) using the available
information provided through cloud platform's API. The authors defined the elasticity metrics based
on financial penalties for over–provisioning and under–provisioning of the cloud resources. Over–
provisioning is a state when a consumer is paying more than necessary for the allocated resources to

Illustrate with examples from the field course, the extent to which ecosystem services provide a

An ecosystem is a community of plants and animals interacting with each other in a given area.
(Rinkesh, ND). There are three different categories: freshwater, terrestrial and ocean ecosystems.
Each can be broken into subsections, for example terrestrial ecosystems include: rainforests,
savannas, deserts, tundra, grasslands and forests. Each subsection supports a different range of
plants and animals interacting in different ways while supporting and providing a range of different
ecosystem services. Key ecosystem services include supporting, provisioning, regulating and
cultural services. The services help the ecosystem to stay sustainable and provide exploitable
commodities for humanity. Provisioning services allow humans to grow crops and food in the
ecosystem to sell or consume. Ecosystems regularly experience both physical and human
environmental problems, like pollution or over fishing.

Bipedalism Hypothesis
Many consider our first steps our first milestones. It is one of the most important developments for
an individual. It was also the beginning of our development as a species. Bipedalism is the ability to
walk on two rear limbs or legs. Charles Darwin believed that bipedalism was an evolution by natural
selection. (Freidman 2006) However, fossil records do not provide enough information about the
origin of bipedalism. There are many other theories on how our ancestors went from being
quadrupeds to bipeds. One theory is the postural feeding hypothesis by Kevin D. Hunt in his article
The Postural feeding hypothesis: an ecological model for the evolution of bipedalism. Owen C.

Hunts based his postural feeding hypothesis off chimpanzee ecology and Australopithecus
morphology. Hunt discusses how chimpanzees are often most bipedal when eating small fruits on
open forest trees. Hunt states that chimps get these fruits by either balancing on branches in a semi–
hanging arm posture and reaching for them or reaching for the fruit with their arms while their feet
are on the ground. (Hunt 1996) The reason for Hunts bringing this up is because chimpanzees are
our closest living relatives. Also, Australopithecus had both ape like and human like features. Hunts
makes an in–depth comparison of chimpanzee postures to early hominid while gathering food to
support his hypothesis of bipedalism. Hunts states that postures such as hanging of the arms and
vertically climbing on trees are what created the adaption of bipedalism. (Hunts 1996) While early
hominids gathered fruit, they developed the torso structure and their changes to arm hanging also
increased and developed. (Hunts 1996) Hunts goes on to say that early hominids developed arboreal
bipedal from fruit gathering which evolved over time into what we know as bipedalism

The Cloud Computing
This chapter focuses basically on the theories and some assumptions applied in this thesis. 2.1 Main
Features of a Cloud In practice, the satisfaction of users can be relatively assured with certain
relevant features of the Cloud. These features of the Cloud are essential to enable services that
actually represent the Cloud computing model. These features include: elasticity; scalability;
customization; self–service; and pay–per use. 2.1.1 Elasticity The scarcity of computing resources
can lead to slowdown or delay in processing job requests. In some cases, it leads to the rejection of
job request. However, the emergence of Cloud computing gives the illusion of infinite computing
resources. These resources are made available on demand and can be provisioned rapidly and
automatically in any amount of quantity to process users' job requests. In the Cloud, it is possible to
add up resources for provisioning when there is an increase in application load (Scale up). On the
other hand, when there is a decrease in application load, resources can be released. (Scale down).
This feature of the Cloud that dynamically scales the amount of the resources it provides to clients
as their workloads increase or decrease is called elasticity [41]. In this work, the number of
resources in the private Cloud are considered to be static (not elastic). However, based on the
characteristics of the incoming jobs of users, extra public Cloud compute resources can be rented or
released [1][42].

The major challenge of the SaaS provider is how to reduce the operational cost involved in
leveraging the resources available (private and public Cloud) to process the incoming dynamic user
jobs. Specifically, the SaaS provider is faced with the challenge of deciding on the number of VMs
to rent and when to rent them so that performance requirement is not sacrificed and cost is
minimized considering the probability that a physical server (compute node) or a communication
link may fail. In a real world scenario, the SaaS provider is faced with the challenge of making such
cost effective decisions in the provisioning of resources to the incoming dynamic and QoS
constraints jobs of users on failure prone resources. This thesis is focused on addressing this key
problem of SaaS providers in the provisioning of hybrid Cloud resources by considering many
practical issues such as communication cost, dynamics of user jobs with deadline constraint, and the
probability that a compute node or communication may fail. Here, the term compute node refers to a

Links Between Cognition And Language
There are a number of links between cognition and language that form important links. These links
are illustrated well, specifically in terms of spatial organization, fire, hunting and cooperative
provisioning, within the context of the Gesher Benot Ya'aqov.
Gesher Benot Ya'aqov (GBY) is an archaeological site Dated to approximately 780 kya. It provides
evidence to support the notion that early hominids were making fires, and spatially organising their
lives in a social manner, deliberately around and based upon hearths. Firstly, spatial organisation
entails placing and structuring living and working spaces deliberately and consciously, in a manner
that amplifies the functionality of the beings within a specific environment. Archaeologists have
mapped this specific site through the use of kernel density. The kernel density of burnt and unburnt
microliths illustrate that specific parts or sections of the site were used exclusively for performing
specific tasks. For example, we can map and see that according to burnt and unburnt fish bones, that
fish were processed at the norther part of the site while they were cooked at the southern part of the
site. Through this, we can see deliberate spatial allocations of land to be used for specific tasks. This
is very important as it also illustrates important links to language and cognition in the following
ways.
A certain level of cognitive complexity is required for such manipulation of the environment. It

Confidential data can be pertaining but not limited to device (OEM), user, operator and platform providers meta data specific, service providers. Protection for confidential data is critical so that they can't be accessed either by network attacks, physical tampering or access by unauthorized software en–tities in the device. Often embedded devices can be reprogrammed remotely as a part of fixing bugs and adding new features. In due course, devices should ensure that attackers don't attack and insert their own malicious code and hi–jack confidential data as it flows through the system. 9.3 Device Identification (via Remote Attestation) Remote attestation allows remote entity to verify that a particular message orig–inated from a particular software entity[18]. Putting this to business terms, ser–vice provides widely use remote attestation to make sure that the device they are communicating is the real device that are wishing to talk to and not any un–trusted or unknown entity.

URBAN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ASSIGNMENT SUBMITTED TO : Dr. A.MALATHI Dr. MAYURI GOGOI SUBMITTED BY: : QUAMRUL HUDA CLASS : MSW– III SEMESTER DATE : 15th OCTOBER 2014 QUESTION: "EXAMINE URBANIZATION IN INDIA WITH SPECIFIC REFERENCE TO URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE PROVISIONING." INTRODUCTION Urbanization is a process under which continuously rural people migrate from villages to the cities. Through this process, firstly they gather at one place and form a town and gradually, it became the city or mega city. Some of them permanently settled there and some of them temporarily live at both places i.e. rural and urban areas. The process of society from rural area to urban areas define the urbanization. It includes two things, the increasing the number of people living in urban settlement and increase the percentage of population. In rural area, they basically indulge in agricultural work whereas in urban area, they engage in industries, where they can earn good livelihood. Urbanization has become common feature of Indian society, growth of industry has led to migration of people towards the cities. Consequently, the formation of urban areas had been fully fledged and come to occur. Natural increase of urbanization can occur if the natural population growth in the cities is higher than in the rural areas. By 2020, a majority of the population of developing countries will live in urban areas. Urbanization, firstly, took place in western countries. As we know ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 14. Managing Users in Heterogeneous IT Landscapes One of the main challenge organizations is facing is managing users in heterogeneous IT landscapes. Organizations are preferring the access control via role management (Franqueira, V. N. L et al., 2012). With the evolving responsibilities, the system landscape is becoming more and more complex and difficult to manage and track (SAP1, 2012). With SAP NetWeaver Identity Management (IdM), we can manage identities and their authorizations centrally in both SAP and non–SAP system landscapes. This comes with employee self–services and SAP BusinessObjects Access Control formerly GRC (Governance, risk management, and compliance) (SAP2, 2012) integration which helps in risk detection and mitigation and makes identity management more compliant. Using NetWeaver IdM, a highly customizable framework we can provide joint authentication for all business processes and a single sign–on as a secure identity management solution. Driving factors for implementation of Identity management include a decrease in operational cost, frequently evolving business processes with increasing complexity and inability to de–provision a user completely. Many challenges come from the desire to grant single–sign–on access to collections of resources that might have contradictory access–protection rules (Buell, D.A. et al., 2003). The functions of NetWeaver IdM include role management, Identity Virtualization, data synchronization, customized work–flows and approval process, password management, identity ...

OPTIMIZING AVAILABILITY PROVISIONING IN NFV Even though the efficiency is greatly improved, our framework is still impractical in the sense that the process can be further prolonged with 1) a even higher availability requirement, which is normal in a carrier–class network [18] (usually requires an availability of 99.999% or 99.9999% (5'9s or 6'9s)); 2) more requests; and 3) longer contract period duration. The root cause the process takes such a long time is it depends on the strategy we use to provision backups and how many backups are needed. In other words, if we can accurately estimate the least possible number of backups needed without running the trial–and–error process, a great amount of running time can be saved. The process ...

Let _rk = P[Nr i = kr], kr = 0; 1; : : : ; nri + kr i be the probability mass function (pmf) for the Poisson binomial random variable Nr i , then the cumulative distribution function (cdf) of Nr i , denoted by FNr i (kr) = P[Nr i _ kr], kr = 0; 1; : : : ; nri +kr i , gives the probability of having at most kr successes out of a total of nri + kr i , and can be written as [26]: where Rm is the set of all subsets of m integers that can be selected from f1; 2; : : : ; nri + kr i g, and Ac is the complement of set A. Therefore, we have Thus, the probability that all the VNFs are available can be expressed as However, computing such a function is not easy, which requires one to enumerate all elements in Rm, which requires to consider an exponential number of scenarios. It is huge even when nri +kr i is small. In general, we can have the following theorem: Theorem 1. Verifying if the availability of a given deployed SFC request with backups is above a given threshold is PPcomplete. Proof. The detailed proof is ignored here due to the limited space. In general, we can rewrite Eq. (6) as a boolean formular, where xj and _ xj represent if the j–th VM is available or not, while Q and P are replaced by ^ and _, respectively.

  • 18. % What Is Cloud Computing?. Cloud Computing Relies On Sharing % What is Cloud Computing? Cloud computing relies on sharing computing resources in a virtualized world rather than owning that locally to handle applications. Cloud adoption across the enterprise is a growing reality.

Despite these advances, the trend towards outsourcing IT infrastructure, entire applications, and even different delivery models to the cloud leads to a key challenge, which is linked directly to the increased complexity of IT~cite{Forrester}. % What is Application–as–a–service provisioning? For instance, the functionality of the involved enterprise applications ' components is combined and orchestrated into a composite, higher–level architecture and offered as a service to the customer by the cloud service provider (CSP). Components typically are connected to other components e.g. an application component runs on an operating system and connects to a database and external services. These composite applications rely on component–based modular architectures and are benefited from cloud properties such as high reliability, elasticity, scalability, flexibility, and high availability~cite{varia,buyya2009cloud}.

Taking a Look at Ecosystem Services Introduction Ecosystems are dynamic and involve the interaction of living organisms with the components of the environment as a functional unit, by depending on the ecosystem services. These services are critically important in supporting the well–being of many organisms especially humans. The services include regulating services (e.g. climate regulation – carbon sequestration), provisioning services (e.g. food, wood for fuel), cultural services (e.g. ecotourism) and supporting services (e.g. nutrient cycling), however they have been degrading over the years. The lack of proper governance and management with regard to the ecosystem and its services has become a serious concern as indicated in the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment report and the Rio +20 report. Biodiversity is decreasing and resulting in the gradual loss of certain crucial ecosystem services that we will not be able to artificially replace should they be completely lost. By monitoring and measuring the ecosystem services, better management strategies can be developed, critical services can be identified and information can be used to educate people of the value and importance of services.

A good computing cloud data management system must satisfy the following goals like availability, scalability, elasticity, performance [1]. The cloud computing looks to satisfy the needs of various levels of clients and workloads. Hence a guaranteed contract between the service provider and the clients has been made known as the Service Level Agreement (SLA). Both the providers and consumers consider successful SLA management. OBJECTIVE The objective is to introduce a SLA based computing database from a consumer's point of view. In [2] the authors have presented with an end–to–end framework that allows the SLA to be ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Scaling up involves making use of a bigger machine as the database server and scaling out is focused on replicating the data. To make use of the replicated data the snapshot of the database has to be taken for regular intervals of time. A trade–off occurs between the snapshot time and the size of the lo of transactions. The SLA–based provisioning in [2] focus on the SLA metrics of the total transaction time more than the throughput of the database. Practically, the requirements of SLA vary between the types of application transactions. The difference in the SLA is because of the different behaviours of the system resources. The framework helps the service provider to design specific action rules for the application to adapt to the scale in or scale out technique. For the experimental evaluation in [2], the authors used MySQL proxy software, Lua scripting language, application server, web server and database server. These are hosted on a virtual machine. The experiment was conducted using the Berkeley Cloud–stone benchmark. The experiment is to evaluate the behaviour of the SLA based provisioning of database against the traditional method of monitoring the utilization mechanism.

State Of The Art : Cloud Computing 3 State of the Art Cloud computing was founded on already–existing computing technologies, such as distributed computing (Clusters, Grids), Internet technologies (Web Services, Service Oriented Architectures, Web 2.0), virtualization and systems management (autonomic computing, data centre automation) [11]. Specifically, with the advent of Cloud computing, the benefits of these technologies have been combined and further improved. Cloud basically presents a suitable environment for convenient, on–demand network access to a pool of configurable computing resources that can be mutually accessed and provisioned with insignificant administration effort or service provider interaction [1]. The optimal provisioning of these compute resources to meet certain predefined performance criteria is a complex problem which has attracted much research attention [12][13]. This problem comprise the steps involved in the allocation of suitable computing resources to tasks with the aim of optimizing certain objectives. Some objective functions include but not limited to; maximizing task throughput, minimizing the time of task completion and maximizing the utilization of resources. Research outputs in the grid computing paradigm [14][15] introduced the "unconventional" model of resource provisioning, where resources are provisioned at a price, usually set based on supply and demand. Out of this model, novel objective functions were considered, such as executing tasks at minimum cost, and ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

It is like static packet filtering, which is similar to the firewall rationale. Anomaly detection (heuristics) represents the most sophisticated technique, in which heuristic patterns try to detect variations from historically normal operation. 4.6.2 Decision module The decision module is part of the close chain control system that, using the data which has arrived from the analysis module, makes decisions about the real time actions necessary to solve anomalies related to network intrusions. This module implements the logic necessary to analyze behaviors and makes decisions about the anomalies discovered. 4.6.3 Action module The action module represents the actuator that solves the intrusion detection situation on a cloud domain. Merely collecting and analyzing data accomplishes nothing. The V–IDS uses the results from the analysis in order to manage the cloud infrastructure on the basis of security. Most obviously, it also generates alarms, reports and queries if the analysis indicates a dangerous condition. 4.6.4 Monitoring module The monitoring module captures (continuously) processed data from previous events, such as historical intrusion data, login attempts, and so on.

Challenges Base Applications In our base image we currently include into the image several base applications, these are both baked into the actual image file and installed after the OS utilizing a Task Sequence. With WICD we found it difficult and time consuming to utilize this toolset to try and include all of our base applications into the provisioning pack process, due the nature of the wrapper, applications having prompts that cannot be answered, and the nature of these applications frequently changing a different solution is needed. What we found was that instead of trying to include all of the base applications in the provisioning pack in and of itself we only include the SCCM client and then we created an SCCM Task Sequence that can be executed after the other tasks of the provisioning packs are completed and a Tech signs into the device. If we wish to try and approach this by making the provisioning pack further inclusive it will take a large time investment, both upfront and continually as the version of these applications change every 3–6 months.

Food self–provisioning and sharing the excess are generally social practices with low environmental impacts; these, in turn, promote social community bonds which are compatible with sustainability (Jehlicka, 2013b). It requires little research effort, has no governmental intervention (unless the use of allotments is involved) and practices vary widely around the world. Food self–provisioning is generally environmentally and socially sustainable. It follows that if an individual changes their agency (whether through a change in values or beliefs or out of conscience) and that individual then changes their behaviour, they may set a precedent that others then follow. (Jehlicka, 2013b). Research shows that these practices promote local social, ecological and environmental resilience by strengthening networks of cooperation between families, friends, neighbours and co–workers (Jehlicka, 2013b). Alongside this is the reduction of waste as surplus is distributed amongst networks that encompass urban and rural family and friends, which also has the added benefit of reducing excess resource and energy consumption; this is both socially and environmentally sustainable. It gives practitioners control over what they produce as on a very general level food self–provisioning involves very modest amounts (if any) of fossil fuel–based and/or fertilisers and pesticides. This, along with that fact that little (if any) fossil fuel is used in the transportation of goods as these will mainly distributed locally (Jehlicka, 2013b).

(Hunt 1996) The reason for Hunts bringing this up is because chimpanzees are our closest living relatives. Also, Australopithecus had both ape like and human like features. Hunts makes an in–depth comparison of chimpanzee postures to early hominid while gathering food to support his hypothesis of bipedalism. Hunts states that postures such as hanging of the arms and vertically climbing on trees are what created the adaption of bipedalism. (Hunts 1996) While early hominids gathered fruit, they developed the torso structure and their changes to arm hanging also increased and developed. (Hunts 1996) Hunts goes on to say that early hominids developed arboreal bipedal from fruit gathering which evolved over time into what we know as bipedalism ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Ecological Service And Ecological Services Ecological Services Ecological services are resources that are essential to the sustainability of life on Earth and are provided to its inhabitant as long as the environment is kept in good health. These ecosystems provide vital services such as provisioning, regulating, cultural and supporting services to Earth's residence. Moreover, these natural services are of vast importance in maintaining the planet's biodiversity and are an imperative contributor in stabilizing the planet's climate. Nonetheless, certain ecological services such as the generation and the preserving of soils in addition to renewing their fertility and the ability to control agricultural pests are at an increased risk due to continues human negligence.

Furthermore, cultural services pertains to the non–material benefits people obtain from ecosystems through spiritual enrichment, cognitive development, reflection, recreation, and aesthetic experience, including, e.g., knowledge systems, social relations, and aesthetic values (Green Facts). In other words, recreational activities that further social interactions and cultural awareness such as hiking and camping; in addition of having the aptitude to enhance and inspire human creativity in areas such as art and architecture. Last, but not least, the supporting service without which none of the previous mentioned ecosystem services would be possible. This ecosystem warrants the stability of fundamental natural processes, such as photosynthesis, nutrient cycling, soil formation and the water cycle (The Freshwater Blog). This fundamental service enables the sustainment of all Earth's species and the above discussed ecosystems. In addition to these four fundamental services, maintaining Earth's biodiversity is essential in the preservation of a viable planet since it directly correlates and; consequently, effects ecological services.

India's urbanization is least in compared to other countries of the world urbanization took place very late, between 1951 to 2001, the level of urbanization increased by only 13%, however if we see the census of the country we can see the rise of population in every decade. More than 2 /3rd populations of India lives in urban agglomerations, agglomeration are those regions which has population greater than one million. Now the country is facing the rural urban migration in a large extent. Rural population are migrating to urban areas in search of jobs, majority among them were unskilled so they get into unorganized sector in the form of labour work force. The cities are developing in constructing new houses malls, buildings, MNCs Multiplexes, Metros, Roads etc but the workers involved in this gets very less in return, as they fall under lower level of income group and hence they are bound to live in slums of the city that is one of the reason slums are un expectangely getting higher in cities.

Hons Title: A Comparative Evaluation of Private Cloud Computing, Automated Provisioning, Deployment and Monitoring Comparing VMware vCloud Director Orchestrator Vs Microsoft's System Centre Orchestrator Private cloud automation is a process where the IT administrator may write scripts which automatically trigger events in response to certain criteria being reached. It may be a new user requesting the provisioning of a desktop, it may be an alert indicating a malfunction or failure of hardware or services, and it may be the monitoring and charge back for the usage of a service. As a result of these requirements the deployment of an Orchestrator comes highly recommended for the automation, instead of the administrator spending maybe hours writing and testing scripts, the Orchestrator allows the administrator to drag and drop the relevant graphics onto a canvas and then run it in the integrated test process prior to deployment into live operation. This dissertation aims to comparatively analyse and evaluate the implementation regarding the performance, cost reduction through reduced administration and usability of the two competing provider's solutions, namely, VMware vCloud Director Orchestrator and Microsoft System Centre Orchestrator. The scope of this study compared the performance and efficiency of both platforms, although the cost saving in administrative time required is closely matched between the two platforms the performance and ...

Cloud Computing Is A Model For Empowering Convenient As indicated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Cloud computing is a model for empowering convenient, on–demand network access to a mutual pool of configurable computing resources, for example, networks, servers, storage, applications, and services that can be quickly provisioned and discharged with insignificant administration effort or service provider interaction [1]. In 1966, D. F. Parkhil predicted in his book The challenge of the Computing Utility that computing power would one day be available to the public in a similar way as water and electricity. Today, as indicated by the industry, Cloud computing is perceived as the fifth public resource or utility that follows after the commonly known public utilities, namely: water, electricity, gas, and telephony [2]. Many firms, both big and small have often preferred to shift the concerns of upgrades, maintenance and configuration of software back to its developers without the need for a constant on–site consultant presence. Today, with the inception of the Cloud computing paradigm, many firms have found relative answers to their quest for cost efficient computing. Firms can now have common access to the Cloud's configurable computing resources across the Internet independently without reference to the seemingly hidden hosting infrastructure. This infrastructure comprise data centers that are maintained and monitored by resource providers all the time. Think of accessing a software by just a ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The Cloud Computing This chapter focuses basically on the theories and some assumptions applied in this thesis. 2.1 Main Features of a Cloud In practice, the satisfaction of users can be relatively assured with certain relevant features of the Cloud. These features of the Cloud are essential to enable services that actually represent the Cloud computing model. These features include: elasticity; scalability; customization; self–service; and pay–per use. 2.1.1 Elasticity The scarcity of computing resources can lead to slowdown or delay in processing job requests. In some cases, it leads to the rejection of job request. However, the emergence of Cloud computing gives the illusion of infinite computing resources. These resources are made available on demand and can be provisioned rapidly and automatically in any amount of quantity to process users' job requests. In the Cloud, it is possible to add up resources for provisioning when there is an increase in application load (Scale up). On the other hand, when there is a decrease in application load, resources can be released. (Scale down). This feature of the Cloud that dynamically scales the amount of the resources it provides to clients as their workloads increase or decrease is called elasticity [41]. In this work, the number of resources in the private Cloud are considered to be static (not elastic). However, based on the characteristics of the incoming jobs of users, extra public Cloud compute resources can be rented or released [1][42]. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The SaaS provider is assumed to ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The major challenge of the SaaS provider is how to reduce the operational cost involved in leveraging the resources available (private and public Cloud) to process the incoming dynamic user jobs. Specifically, the SaaS provider is faced with the challenge of deciding on the number of VMs to rent and when to rent them so that performance requirement is not sacrificed and cost is minimized considering the probability that a physical server (compute node) or a communication link may fail. In a real world scenario, the SaaS provider is faced with the challenge of making such cost effective decisions in the provisioning of resources to the incoming dynamic and QoS constraints jobs of users on failure prone resources. This thesis is focused on addressing this key problem of SaaS providers in the provisioning of hybrid Cloud resources by considering many practical issues such as communication cost, dynamics of user jobs with deadline constraint, and the probability that a compute node or communication may fail. Here, the term compute node refers to a physical server or host. In other words, this work focus on the decision to provision VM instances which has minimum cost to incoming jobs such that the expected total time of job execution is less than or equal to the deadline of the job.

  • 78. Links Between Cognition And Language There are a number of links between cognition and language that form important links. These links are illustrated well, specifically in terms of spatial organization, fire, hunting and cooperative provisioning, within the context of the Gesher Benot Ya'aqov. Gesher Benot Ya'aqov (GBY) is an archaeological site Dated to approximately 780 kya. It provides evidence to support the notion that early hominids were making fires, and spatially organising their lives in a social manner, deliberately around and based upon hearths. Firstly, spatial organisation entails placing and structuring living and working spaces deliberately and consciously, in a manner that amplifies the functionality of the beings within a specific environment. Archaeologists have mapped this specific site through the use of kernel density. The kernel density of burnt and unburnt microliths illustrate that specific parts or sections of the site were used exclusively for performing specific tasks. For example, we can map and see that according to burnt and unburnt fish bones, that fish were processed at the norther part of the site while they were cooked at the southern part of the site. Through this, we can see deliberate spatial allocations of land to be used for specific tasks. This is very important as it also illustrates important links to language and cognition in the following ways. A certain level of cognitive complexity is required for such manipulation of the environment. It would have been far more ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
