    Climate Change Mitigation With Renewable Energy: Geothermal
    (Springer Verlag, 2011) Baba, Alper
    On a global scale, there is increasing evidence that climate is changing and of a discernible human influence. Many of scientists are confident that if current emissions of greenhouse gases continue, the world will be warmer, sea levels will rise and regional climate patterns will change. According to some scientist, global temperatures are expected to rise faster over the next century than over any time during the last 10,000 years. From this token, geothermal energy is now considered to be one of the most important alternative energy sources to minimize climate change. Geothermal technologies for power generation or direct use operate with little or no greenhouse gas emissions. Geothermal energy is generally accepted as being an environmentally-friendly energy source, particularly when compared to fossil fuel energy sources. Geothermal resources have long been used for direct heat extraction for district urban heating, industrial processing, domestic water and space heating, leisure and balneotherapy applications. Geothermal energy is used in more than 80 countries for direct heat application and 24 countries for power generation. Re-injection of fluids maintains a constant pressure in the reservoir, thus increasing the field's life and reducing concerns about environmental impacts. Geothermal energy has several significant characteristics that make it suitable for climate change mitigation.

    An Application With Webmathematica
    (Springer Verlag, 2003) Ufuktepe, Ünal
    There have been many technological dawns in the last 30 years, during which the desktop computer and the Internet have been developed. The importance of Internet in education, particularly using its Web is a well-recognized fact. A wealth of resources and techniques now exist which serve as a source both for exciting examples of new teaching practices, as well as easily accessible methods for adoption into various formats of teaching and learning. Internet technology allow teachers and students keep up with their minds. It let them try their ideas as soon as they come up with them. Generally, students appreciate the convenience, choice, and flexibility that an online courses offers. Instructional designers value the standardized framework and flexibility. WebMathematica is a web-based technology developed by Wolfram Research that allows the generation of dynamic web content with Mathematica. With this technology, the distance education students should be able to explore and experiment with the mathematical concepts. In this paper we will elucidate the pedagogical issues in the application of Hamiltonian systems in the webMathematica for the distance learning environment and the shape of the future "classroom" as well as relevant educational strategies towards improving mathematics education.

    The Arrows Project: Adapting and Developing Robotics Technologies for Underwater Archaeology
    (IFAC Secretariat, 2015) Allotta, B.; Costanzi, R.; Ridolfi, A.; Colombo, C.; Bellavia, F.; Fanfani, M.; Daviddi, W.
    ARchaeological RObot systems for the World's Seas (ARROWS) EU Project proposes to adapt and develop low-cost Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) technologies to significantly reduce the cost of archaeological operations, covering the full extent of archaeological campaign. ARROWS methodology is to identify the archaeologists requirements in all phases of the campaign and to propose related technological solutions. Starting from the necessities identified by archaeological project partners in collaboration with the Archaeology Advisory Group, a board composed of European archaeologists from outside ARROWS, the aim is the development of a heterogeneous team of cooperating AUVs capable of comply with a complete archaeological autonomous mission. Three new different AUVs have been designed in the framework of the project according to the archaeologists' indications: MARTA, characterized by a strong hardware modularity for ease of payload and propulsion systems configuration change; U-C AT, a turtle inspired bio-mimetic robot devoted to shipwreck penetration and A-Size AUV, a vehicle of small dimensions and weight easily deployable even by a single person. These three vehicles will cooperate within the project with AUVs already owned by ARROWS partners exploiting a distributed high-level control software based on the World Model Service (WMS), a storage system for the environment knowledge, updated in real-time through online payload data process, in the form of an ontology. The project includes also the development of a cleaning tool for well-known artifacts maintenance operations. The paper presents the current stage of the project that will lead to overall system final demonstrations, during Summer 2015, in two different scenarios, Sicily (Italy) and Baltic Sea (Estonia). © 2015, IFAC (International Federation of Automatic Control) Hosting by Elsevier Ltd.

    Orderbased Labeling Scheme for Dynamic Xml Query Processing
    (Springer Verlag, 2012) Assefa, Beakal Gizachew; Ergenç, Belgin
    Need for robust and high performance XML database systems increased due to growing XML data produced by today's applications. Like indexes in relational databases, XML labeling is the key to XML querying. Assigning unique labels to nodes of a dynamic XML tree in which the labels encode all structural relationships between the nodes is a challenging problem. Early labeling schemes designed for static XML document generate short labels; however, their performance degrades in update intensive environments due to the need for relabeling. On the other hand, dynamic labeling schemes achieve dynamicity at the cost of large label size or complexity which results in poor query performance. This paper presents OrderBased labeling scheme which is dynamic, simple and compact yet able to identify structural relationships among nodes. A set of performance tests show promising labeling, querying, update performance and optimum label size. © 2012 IFIP International Federation for Information Processing.

    Quantum Key Distribution in the Classical Authenticated Key Exchange Framework
    (Springer, 2013) Mosca, Michele; Stebila, Douglas; Ustaoğlu, Berkant
    Key establishment is a crucial primitive for building secure channels in a multi-party setting. Without quantum mechanics, key establishment can only be done under the assumption that some computational problem is hard. Since digital communication can be easily eavesdropped and recorded, it is important to consider the secrecy of information anticipating future algorithmic and computational discoveries which could break the secrecy of past keys, violating the secrecy of the confidential channel. Quantum key distribution (QKD) can be used generate secret keys that are secure against any future algorithmic or computational improvements. QKD protocols still require authentication of classical communication, although existing security proofs of QKD typically assume idealized authentication. It is generally considered folklore that QKD when used with computationally secure authentication is still secure against an unbounded adversary, provided the adversary did not break the authentication during the run of the protocol. We describe a security model for quantum key distribution extending classical authenticated key exchange (AKE) security models. Using our model, we characterize the long-term security of the BB84 QKD protocol with computationally secure authentication against an eventually unbounded adversary. By basing our model on traditional AKE models, we can more readily compare the relative merits of various forms of QKD and existing classical AKE protocols. This comparison illustrates in which types of adversarial environments different quantum and classical key agreement protocols can be secure. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.

    Sufficient Condition for Ephemeral Key-Leakage Resilient Tripartite Key Exchange
    (Springer Verlag, 2012) Fujioka, Atsushi; Manulis, Mark; Suzuki, Koutarou; Ustaoğlu, Berkant
    Tripartite (Diffie-Hellman) Key Exchange (3KE), introduced by Joux (ANTS-IV 2000), represents today the only known class of group key exchange protocols, in which computation of unauthenticated session keys requires one round and proceeds with minimal computation and communication overhead. The first one-round authenticated 3KE version that preserved the unique efficiency properties of the original protocol and strengthened its security towards resilience against leakage of ephemeral (session-dependent) secrets was proposed recently by Manulis, Suzuki, and Ustaoglu (ICISC 2009). In this work we explore sufficient conditions for building such protocols. We define a set of admissible polynomials and show how their construction generically implies 3KE protocols with the desired security and efficiency properties. Our result generalizes the previous 3KE protocol and gives rise to many new authenticated constructions, all of which enjoy forward secrecy and resilience to ephemeral key-leakage under the gap Bilinear Diffie-Hellman assumption in the random oracle model. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.

    A Merging Clustering Algorithm for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
    (Springer Verlag, 2006) Dağdeviren, Orhan; Erciyeş, Kayhan; Çokuslu, Deniz
    Clustering is a widely used approach to ease implementation of various problems such as routing and resource management in mobile ad hoc networks (MANET)s. We propose a new fully distributed algorithm for clustering in MANETs that merges clusters to form higher level clusters by increasing their levels. We show the operation of the algorithm and analyze its time and message complexities and provide results in the simulation environment of ns2. Our results conform that the algorithm proposed is scalable and has a lower time and message complexities than the other algorithms

    (Springer Verlag, 2006) Dağdeviren, Orhan; Erciyeş, Kayhan
    Construction of a backbone architecture is an important issue in mobile ad hoc networks(MANET)s to ease routing and resource management. We propose a new fully distributed algorithm for backbone formation in MANETs that constructs a directed ring architecture. We show the operation of the algorithm, analyze its message complexity and provide results in the simulation environment of ns2. Our results conform that the algorithm is scalable in terms of its running time and roundtrip delay against mobility, surface area, number of nodes and number of clusterheads.

    E-Calculus at Iztech
    (Springer Verlag, 2006) Ufuktepe, Ünal; Ufuktepe, Günnur; Deniz, Aslı; Dündar, Veli
    In today's new economy, characterized by industrial revolutions, globalization and information technology changes traditional classroom and teaching methods. Calculus is the basic course for the fresher at university. Mathematics has a negative development at universities and colleges. The number of students taking mathematics courses and those successfully passing the exams are rapidly decreasing. To overturn this negative development, it may be necessary to teach in a different way. This is where new technology could play an important role. We create a web browser environment by using the webMathematica, which is a new technology based on Java Server Page, Tomcat and Mathematica, in learning calculus. The modules consist of topic modules linked with case study modules, to help learn calculus and see it in context. The aim of our project is to use new technology to present mathematics on the web, and create a pilot course for students and teachers available free on the web. The heart of our approach is the development of mathematical power: understanding, using, and appreciating mathematics. Students can reach any documents for calculus and solve their problems with webMathematica to check whether their results are correct or not.
