$\mathbb A^1$-connected components of affine quadrics

For any smooth quadratic hypersurface $X$ in $\mathbb A^n_k$, we use the iterations of the functor of naive $\mathbb{A}^1$-connected components $\mathcal{S}$ to study the field-valued sections of the sheaf of $\mathbb{A}^1$-connected components $\pi_0^{\mathbb{A}^1}(X)$ of $X$. We prove that for any field $F/k$, the canonical isomorphism $\pi_0^{\mathbb{A}^1}(X)(F) \xrightarrow{\sim} \lim_{n} \mathcal{S}^n(X)(F)$ stabilizes at $n=2$, meaning that $\pi_0^{\mathbb{A}^1}(X)(F)=\mathcal{S}^2(X)(F)$. Furthermore, by combining this result with Morel's characterization of $\mathbb{A}^1$-connected spaces in terms of the triviality of field-valued sections of $\pi_0^{\mathbb{A}^1}$, we provide a complete characterization of $\mathbb{A}^1$-connected smooth quadratic hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{A}^n_k$.

Iterations of the functor of naive $\mathbb A^1$-connected components of varieties

For any sheaf of sets $\mathcal F$ on $Sm/k$, it is well known that the universal $\mathbb A^1$-invariant quotient of $\mathcal F$ is given as the colimit of sheaves $\mathcal S^n(\mathcal F)$ where $\mathcal S(F)$ is the sheaf of naive $\mathbb A^1$-connected components of $\mathcal F$. We show that these infinite iterations of naive $\mathbb A^1$-connected components in the construction of universal $\mathbb A^1$-invariant quotient for a scheme are certainly required. For every $n$, we construct an $\mathbb A^1$-connected variety $X_n$ such that $\mathcal S^n(X_n)\neq \mathcal S^{n+1}(X_n)$ and $\mathcal S^{n+2}(X_n)=*$.

Load Balanced Semantic Aware Distributed RDF Graph

The modern day semantic applications store data as Resource Description Framework (RDF) data.Due to Proliferation of RDF Data, the efficient management of huge RDF data has become essential. A number of approaches pertaining to both relational and graph-based have been devised to handle this huge data. As the relational approach suffers from query joins, we propose a semantic aware graph based partitioning method. The partitioned fragments are further allocated in a load balanced way. For efficient query processing, partial replication is implemented. It reduces Inter node Communication thereby accelerating queries on distributed RDF Graph. This approach has been demonstrated in two phases partitioning and Distribution of Linked Observation Data (LOD). The time complexity for partitioning and distribution of Load Balanced Semantic Aware RDF Graph (LBSD) is O(n) where n is the number of triples which is demonstrated by linear increment in algorithm execution time (AET) for LOD data scaled from 1x to 5x. LBSD has been found to behave well till 4x. LBSD is compared with the state of the art relational and graph-based partitioning techniques. LBSD records 71% QET gain when averaged over all the four query types. For most frequent query types, Linear and Star, on an average 65% QET gain is recorded over original configuration for scaling experiments. The optimal replication level has been found to be 12% of original data.

Line Segmentation from Unconstrained Handwritten Text Images using Adaptive Approach

Line segmentation from handwritten text images is one of the challenging task due to diversity and unknown variations as undefined spaces, styles, orientations, stroke heights, overlapping, and alignments. Though abundant researches, there is a need of improvement to achieve robustness and higher segmentation rates. In the present work, an adaptive approach is used for the line segmentation from handwritten text images merging the alignment of connected component coordinates and text height. The mathematical justification is provided for measuring the text height respective to the image size. The novelty of the work lies in the text height calculation dynamically. The experiments are tested on the dataset provided by the Chinese company for the project. The proposed scheme is tested on two different type of datasets; document pages having base lines and plain pages. Dataset is highly complex and consists of abundant and uncommon variations in handwriting patterns. The performance of the proposed method is tested on our datasets as well as benchmark datasets, namely IAM and ICDAR09 to achieve 98.01% detection rate on average. The performance is examined on the above said datasets to observe 91.99% and 96% detection rates, respectively.

Femtosecond laser induced surface modification for prevention of bacterial adhesion on 45S5 bioactive glass

Bacterial attachment and biofilm formation on implant surface has been a major concern in hospital and industrial environment. Prevention of bacterial infections of implant surface through surface treatment could be a potential solution and hence this has become a key area of research. In the present study, the antibacterial and biocompatible properties of femtosecond laser surface treated 45S5 bioactive glass (BG) have been investigated. Adhesion and sustainability of both gram positive S. aureus and gram negative P.aeruginosa and E. coli nosocomial bacteria on untreated and laser treated BG samples has been explored. An imprint method has been used to visualize the growth of bacteria on the sample surface. We observed complete bacterial rejection potentially reducing risk of biofilm formation on laser treated surface. This was correlated with surface roughness, wettability and change in surface chemical composition of the samples before and after laser treatment. Biocompatibility of the laser treated BG was demonstrated by studying the anchoring and growth of human cervix cell line INT407. Our results demonstrate that, laser surface modification of BG enables enhanced bacterial rejection without affecting its biocompatibility towards growth of human cells on it. These results open a significantly potential approach towards use of laser in successfully imparting desirable characteristics to BG based bio-implants and devices.
