Das erste Kind hat Musikunterricht gehabt und kann als einziges Flöte spielen. Das zweite ist arm und besitzt keinerlei anderes Spielzeug. Das dritte Kind hat die Flöte mit viel Ausdauer selbst angefertigt. Mit diesem Gleichnis eröffnet Amartya Sen, einer der wichtigsten Denker unserer Zeit, sein Buch über die Idee der Gerechtigkeit. Es ist John Rawls gewidmet und grenzt sich doch von der wirkungsmächtigsten Gerechtigkeitstheorie des 20. Jahrhunderts ab. Wer eine weitere abstrakte Diskussion der institutionellen Grundlagen einer gerechten Gesellschaft erwartet, der wird enttäuscht sein. Wer sich hingegen darüber wundert, was diese Theorien eigentlich zur Bekämpfung real existierender Ungerechtigkeiten beitragen, der wird großen Gewinn daraus ziehen. Sen nämlich stellt die Plausibilität solcher Anstrengungen der reinen Vernunft in Frage. Seine Theorie der Gerechtigkeit ist weniger an der Ausformulierung einer ethisch perfekten Gesellschaft interessiert als an Argumenten, deren Maßstab die konkrete Uberwindung von Ungerechtigkeit ist. Sen eröffnet Perspektiven, die dem westlichen Denken meist fehlen. Seine Kenntnis der hinduistischen, buddhistischen und islamischen Kultur ist wundervoll eingewoben in das Buch und prägt den ganzen Charakter seines Philosophierens. Die Vernunft sucht die Wahrheit, wo immer sie sich finden lässt - und wie der Autor dieses außergewöhnlichen Werkes entdeckt sie auf ihrer weiten Reise viele gangbare Wege zu einer gerechteren Welt.Tue Feb 14 12:13:39 CET 2012International Journal on Information Technology [IJIT]September24Cross Lingual Information Retrieval Using Search Engine and Data Mining 12011clir With the explosive growth of international users, distributed information and the number of linguistic resources, accessible throughout the World Wide Web, information retrieval has become crucial for users to find, retrieve and understand relevant information, in any language and form. Cross- Language Information Retrieval (CLIR) is a subfield of Information Retrieval which provides a query in one language and searches document collections in one or many languages but it also has a specific meaning of cross- language information retrieval where a document collection is multilingual. In the present research, we focus on query translation, disambiguation of multiple translation candidates and query expansion with various combinations, in order to improve the effectiveness of retrieval. Extracting, selecting and adding terms that emphasize query concepts are performed using expansion techniques such as, pseudo-relevance feedback, domain-based feedback and thesaurus-based expansion. A method for information retrieval for a query expressed in a native language is presented in this paper. It uses insights from data mining and intelligent search for formulating the query and parsing the results.

By determining the pixel coordinates on the video frame and by using a range finder the target’s geo-location is determined in the North- East-Down (NED) frame. The contribution of this method is that the target can be localized to within 9m when view from an altitude of 2500m and down to 1m from an altitude of 100m. This method offers a highly versatile tracking and geo- localisation technique that has very good number of advantages over the previously suggested methods. Some of the key factors that differentiate our method from its predecessors are: Tue Feb 14 11:27:13 CET 2012International Journal on Electrical and Power Engineering [IJEPE],August26Prototyping a Wireless Sensor Node using FPGA for Mines Safety Application 22011fpga The sensor nodes in a wireless sensor network are normally microcontroller based which are having limited computational capability related to various applications. This paper describes the selection, specification and realization of a wireless sensor node using the field programmable gate array (FPGA) based architecture for an early detection of hazards (e.g fire and gas-leak ) in mines area. The FPGAs in it’s place are more efficient for complex computations in compare to microcontrollers, which is tested by implementing the adaptive algorithm for removing the noise in sensor received data in our work. Another advantage of using FPGA is also due to it’s reconfigurable feature without changing the hardware itself. The node is implemented using cyclone II FPGA device present in Altera dE2 board .In this work the network comprises of 4 nodes out of which 2 are test nodes, one routing node and one base station node. An energy efficient MAC protocol is tested for transmitting the data from test node to base station node. Tue Feb 14 11:25:22 CET 2012International Journal on Electrical and Power Engineering [IJEPE],August24Performance analysis of Multiband - OFDM systems using LDPC coder in pulsed - OFDM modulation for UWB communications 22011ofdm In this paper, a combined approach where low density parity check (LDPC) codes are used to reduce the complexity and power consumption of pulsed orthogonal frequency- division multiplexing (pulsed-OFDM) ultra-wideband (UWB) systems is described. The proposed system uses LDPC codes to achieve higher code rates without using convolution encoding and puncturing thereby reducing the complexity and power consumption of pulsed-OFDM system. The LDPC- pulsed-OFDM system achieves channel capacity with different code rates and has good performance in different channel fading scenarios. The pulsed OFDM system is used where pulsed signals could spread the frequency spectrum of the OFDM signal. The performance of LDPC-pulsed-OFDM system for wireless personal area networks (WPAN) is analyzed for different UWB indoor propagation channels (CM3 and CM4) provided by the IEEE 802.15.3a Standard activity committee. To establish this, a design of LDPC-pulsed-OFDM system using the digital video broadcasting-satellite-second generation (DVB-S2) standard and provide the simulation results for the different code rates supported by LDPC codes is presented.

In order to minimize line losses of power systems, it is crucially important to define the location of local generation to be placed. Proper location of DGs in power systems is important for obtaining their maximum potential benefits. This paper presents analytical approaches to determine the optimal location to place a DG on radial systems to minimize the power loss of the system. Simulation results are given to verify the proposed analytical approaches.

This new perspective has given rise to competition with the goal of price fall and technological innovation in the sector. In the last few years a great deal of attention is given to the possibility of a group of producers (agents) exercising market power by means of congestion effects. The possibility of two agents acting in a combined way on the Transmission System affecting the accessibility by the others to a specific Market is analyzed. This paper describes an algorithm used to detect measure and evaluate the impact of these kinds of strategic actions on market concentration. The results obtained from the study using 9 bus example network shows that this kind of actions can affect strongly market share and must be predicted by the Independent System Operator (ISO).
