This study is conducted among students in training. Its objective is to analyse, through factorial exploration, students' perceptions of their levels of appropriation of academic competencies and their support needs. To this effect, an exploratory factorial analysis is carried out using data from asurvey composedof 12 dimensions and 62 statements. The latter measures 11 oral skills, 09 written skills, 08 practical skills and 12 parameters for asserting support needs. The factorial exploration determined 10 latent variables or factors. This was based on a sample of 147 participants F (n=53;36.1%) M (n=94;63.9%). The factor structure was examined under SPSS 21 using a maximum likelihood extraction method with Varimax axis rotation assuming moderate inter-factor correlations (Elliot and McGregor, 2001).Our results showed from this analysis the extraction of 10 factors explaining 74.38% of the total variance in the data on competencies required during training, as follows :Written Production (WP).This factor (relating to written competence) explained 6.52% of the variance. The analysis expresses a discrepancy of the items by (-.746 and .512). Participants tend to be less appropriate for compliance with instructions when they are able to organise themselves alone during investigative work or document exploration. Oral and Written Communication (OWC).This factor (relevant to oral competence) emerges with a 6.97% variance ratio and also included 2 items (Speaking in front of the audience, communicating ideas in writing to the teacher). The analysis expresses a variance indicated respectively by (.730 and -.711). The student's mastery of the oral situation does not therefore ensure the student's control of written expression or oral exchanges in a duel (student-teacher).Intensity of Effort and Artistic Expression (IEA).This factor (relating to physicalcompetence) accounted for 9.27% of the variance. The analysis expresses a discrepancy between the items. It is indicated respectively by (-.747 and .645). As a result, the ability to express intense effort is not at all favourable for artistic expression.As a result, intense physical effort is not compatible with grace and artistic expression. It has been found that the prior disparities between students (type of baccalaureate...) reveal pedagogical workcamps to be established later on during the readjustments of the different courses of study. According to these results, not all the participants have the same constraints or expectations in the curriculum of this training course.The declaratives representations on the appropriation of the competences identified, grouped and analysed, affirm that the so-called "university" or less professionally oriented courses are generally considered to be of little interest according to the conclusions of the participants Mean 2.54 ± sd .86, i.e. 45% n=67 of the interviewees.

本研究是在实习学生中进行的。其目的是通过析因探索，分析学生对其学术能力的挪用水平和支持需求的看法。为了达到这个效果，探索性的析因分析是使用从12个维度和62个陈述组成的调查数据进行的。后者测量了11项口头技能、09项书面技能、08项实践技能和12项支持需求断言参数。因子探索确定了10个潜在变量或因素。这是基于147名参与者的样本F (n=53;36.1%) M (n=94;63.9%)。因子结构在SPSS 21中使用最大似然提取方法进行检验，并假设变量轴旋转具有适度的因子间相关性(Elliot和McGregor, 2001)。我们的结果表明，从这个分析中提取的10个因素解释了培训期间所需能力数据的总方差的74.38%，如下:书面生产(WP)。这个因素(与书面能力有关)解释了6.52%的差异。分析用(-)表示项目的差异。746和。512)。当参与者在调查工作或文件探索中能够独自组织自己时，他们往往不太适合遵守指示。口头和书面沟通(OWC)。这个因素(与口语能力相关)以6.97%的方差率出现，还包括2个项目(在观众面前演讲，以书面形式与老师交流想法)。分析表达的方差分别由(表示。730和- 0.711)。因此，学生对口语情境的掌握并不能保证学生在决斗(师生)中对书面表达或口头交流的控制。努力强度和艺术表现(IEA)。这个因素(与身体能力有关)占方差的9.27%。分析表明项目之间存在差异。分别用(-)表示。747和。645)。因此，表达强烈努力的能力根本不利于艺术表现。因此，激烈的体力劳动与优雅和艺术表达是不相容的。人们已经发现，学生之间的先前差异(学士学位类型……)揭示了在不同学习课程的调整过程中，教学工作营地将在以后建立。根据这些结果，并不是所有的参与者都对这个培训课程有相同的约束或期望。根据参与者的结论，关于确定、分组和分析的能力占有的陈述性陈述肯定了所谓的“大学”或不太专业的课程通常被认为是不感兴趣的。结果中所表达的断言引起了一种行动措施，即审查训练的理论方面，使其在大学变革运动中，更确切地说，在体育活动的科学和技术(STAPS)中充分和最新。

A major feature of quantitative cell biology is the identification of various cell compartments, cell types and their relationship. Automating of this problem has proven non-trivial, however, and it involves the object of multi-class image partition tasks that are difficult due to the high similarity of objects from various groups and irregularly found structures. To overcome this problem purpose, we propose k-means image segmentation method. And also in the current implementation of the proposed algorithm, the overall segmentation performance of the method can be confined by the graph generation quality. So the future work can be the development of a Maximum Posterior (MAP) estimation for graph generation that optimizes the graph structure jointly with label inference. On the other hand, it is valid to mentioning that the small margin of improvement by the proposed graph based spliting over segnet is because features learned by the CNN are minimizing the cost function rather than the cost function of the polytree.

Nowadays, redundant topologies with multiple forwarding paths between original-destination (OD) pairs have been proposed for datacentre networks, such as fat-tree topology. To achieve resultant fairness (fair utilisation) in this topology, previous algorithms were based on traditional shortest path algorithms or equal-cost multiple paths algorithms (ECMP). However, these algorithms are facing with take up a lot of resources of the SDN controller and may cause a large amount of loss of resultant fairness for the network that has different configurations of link capacity. In this paper, we present out port selection (OPS) mechanisms, including modular out port selection (MOPS) and random out port selection (ROPS), novel methods to improve resultant fairness of fat-tree topology SDN-based datacentre network. Compare with static load-balance methods, our MOPS and ROPS can reduce 65% and 33% loss of fairness, respectively. Further, combining with elephant flows detecting and handling mechanisms, MOPSE and ROPSE can dynamically assign better forwarding path for elephant flows.

A multichannel non-persistent of P-CSMA (NP-CSMA) random multiple access ad hoc network in MAC protocol based on variable collision length is proposed. It has important applications value in wireless ad hoc network and so on. When the channel is idle, the end-users are sent by P probability; while the channel is busy, it will not listen to the channel and wait for a certain period of time to send it again. The multi-priority mechanism is introduced to meet the needs of QoS in different priorities. By modelling the new multi-priority NP-CSMA protocol, the throughput of each channel is obtained by using the average cycle method. Compared with other protocols, the superiority of this protocol is obtained, and the accuracy of the protocol is verified through simulation experiments.

In order to reduce energy consumption in wireless communication networks, the sleep mode in the energy saving strategy and the threshold activation process of the base station are considered. Combining with practice, the existence of interference signals and possible errors in the transmission of data packets are considered. At the same time, considering that the wireless communication network system has two channels and one of them is incompletely reliable, a queuing model of repairable M/M/2 multiple working vacations with start-up period, negative customers, feedback and N-strategy is established. Using quasi birth-and-death process (QBD) and Gauss-Seidel iterative method, the expressions of the average delay of the data packet and other performance indicators are given. Then, using MATLAB software for numerical analysis, the influence of system parameters on the average delay and other performance indicators is analysed. Finally, the social optimal parameters are found by constructing benefit functions.

In this paper, a simple but new approach, namely link-by-link congestion avoidance (LbLCA) algorithm, which works at the network layer, has been proposed. LbLCA is a proactive congestion avoidance algorithm. It uses explicit feedback to prevent congestion to happen in the first place. The novelty of LbLCA is that no per flow information is required, which makes it more scalable. Based on the design philosophy and equations, sizing of various router buffers has been arrived at for different typical network topologies. Buffer sizes depend upon the mean arrival rate at router input and outgoing link capacities and are independent of round trip time (RTT) and the number of flows passing through the router. The buffer sizes determined using LbLCA design are validated using extensive NS2 simulations. The performance evaluation has been done using NS2 simulations on the typical network topologies. The performance comparison between TCP and LbLCA reveals that proposed LbLCA algorithm gives improved performance for the end-to-end delay and packet delivery ratio. LbLCA is impartial to all flows, as LbLCA works at network layer and therefore, cannot differentiate between flows.

LbLCA is a proactive congestion avoidance algorithm. It uses explicit feedback to prevent congestion to happen in the first place. The novelty of LbLCA is that no per flow information is required, which makes it more scalable. Based on the design philosophy and equations, sizing of various router buffers has been arrived at for different typical network topologies. Buffer sizes depend upon the mean arrival rate at router input and outgoing link capacities and are independent of round trip time (RTT) and the number of flows passing through the router. The buffer sizes determined using LbLCA design are validated using extensive NS2 simulations. The performance evaluation has been done using NS2 simulations on the typical network topologies. The performance comparison between TCP and LbLCA reveals that proposed LbLCA algorithm gives improved performance for the end-to-end delay and packet delivery ratio. LbLCA is impartial to all flows, as LbLCA works at network layer and therefore, cannot differentiate between flows.","PeriodicalId":45170,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Communication Networks and Distributed Systems","volume":"24 1","pages":"381-408"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2020-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42595160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cuckoo search (CS) is widely used to solve many optimisation problem, which is a biologically inspired the brood parasitic behaviour of a type of cuckoos and the Levy flights behaviour of some animals. However, it has been demonstrated to easily get trapped into local optimal solutions and slow convergence speed. Therefore, an improved adaptive cuckoo search (IACS) optimisation algorithm is proposed in this article. Two adaptive strategies based on the population feature and iteration information feedback which are integrated into the CS algorithm to adjust the parameters pa and α0. We compared the proposed algorithm to CS and five variants on the 30 benchmark functions proposed in CEC 2014. In addition, the proposed algorithm and CS are integrated into support vector machine (SVM) for classification. Experimental results certify that the modified algorithm is superior to the CS for most optimisation problems and has better performance than the other variants of CS algorithm.

Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) clouds offer huge opportunities to solve large-scale scientific problems. Executing workflows in such environments can be expensive in time if not scheduled rightly. Although scheduling workflows in the cloud is widely studied, most approaches focus on two user's quality of service requirements namely makespan (i.e., completion time) and costs. Other important features of cloud computing such as the heterogeneity of resources and reliability must be considered. In this paper, we present a reliability-aware method based on discrete particle swarm optimisation (RDPSO) for workflow scheduling in multiple and heterogeneous cloud data centres. Our aim is to optimise data transfer time while minimising makespan and enhancing reliability. Based on simulation, our results show a significant improvement in terms of makespan, transferred data and reliability relative to reliability-aware HEFT method (heterogeneous earliest finish time), for the real-world workflows.
