SANet: Scene Agnostic Network for Camera Localization

This paper presents a scene agnostic neural architecture for camera localization, where model parameters and scenes are independent from each other.Despite recent advancement in learning based methods, most approaches require training for each scene one by one, not applicable for online applications such as SLAM and robotic navigation, where a model must be built on-the-fly.Our approach learns to build a hierarchical scene representation and predicts a dense scene coordinate map of a query RGB image on-the-fly given an arbitrary scene. The 6D camera pose of the query image can be estimated with the predicted scene coordinate map. Additionally, the dense prediction can be used for other online robotic and AR applications such as obstacle avoidance. We demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our method on both indoor and outdoor benchmarks, achieving state-of-the-art performance.
SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATIONS INTO SAUDI ARABIAN ROCK ART: A REVIEW

The principal findings of a project begun in 2001, of introducing scientific methodology into the study of the rock art of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, are briefly summarised in this paper. They include the first scientific and direct rock art datings reported from the Middle East. The project, commenced by the Deputy Ministry of Antiquities and Museums, is continuing under the auspices of the Saudi Commission for Tourism and National Heritage. It has led to the discovery of large rock art site complexes numbering tens of thousands of motifs, and to the successful nomination of major rock art properties to the UNESCO World Heritage List. More specifically, the work of this project has also resulted in a preliminary chronological sequence of Arabian Peninsula rock art, the basis of which is briefly presented in this review paper. All petroglyphs analysed so far in Saudi Arabia have been shown to be of the Holocene, with specimens dating from the Pre-Pottery Neolithic (PPN) up to the historical period.

It has been associated with longer hospitalization times, increased mortality and worse functional outcome. In early phase of stroke, it may be regarded as particularly difficult to differentiate from other neurological symptoms. For practical purposes, there is a need to identify simple pre-operative laboratory parameters that may aid delirium diagnosis early after stroke. Our aim was to identify the incidence of early-onset (first 24 hrs) post-stroke delirium, its risk factors and outcomes (complications and mortality) in patients with first-ever acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Material and methods: A retrospective analysis of a prospective observational study (NCT03944694) was performed. Patients were screened for delirium using CAM-ICU method. Clinical and laboratory data were collected, including baseline inflammatory parameters. Results: Final analysis included 760 patients, 121 (15.9%) developed delirium. Patients with delirium were older (75.9±13.5 years, p<0.001). Most common complications in the delirium group were pulmonary (57.8% vs 21.4%, p<0.001), cardiac (38.8% vs 13.6%, p<0.001) and renal (13.2% vs 7.5%, p=0.038). Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) (6.71±9.65 vs 4.55 ±5.51, p<0.001), C-reactive protein level (32.59±65.94 vs 15.70±38.56, p<0.001) and troponin T level (72.59±180.15 vs 26.85±77.62, p<0.001) were higher in delirious patients and platelet-to white blood cell count ratio (PWR) (23.42±9.51 vs 27.13±10.58, p<0.001) was lower. Multivariable logistic regression showed that atrial fibrillation (OR 1.651, p=0.049), higher Rankin score on admission (OR 1.689, p<0.001), hemianopia (OR 2.422, p=0.003) and PWR <20.22 (OR 2.197, p=0.002) were independently associated with delirium. Kaplan–Meier curves indicated that mortality increased for patients with delirium at 3 months (p<0.001) and 1 year (p<0.001) after AIS. Conclusion: Atrial fibrillation, higher Rankin score, hemianopia and lower PWR were independently associated with early onset delirium in patients with first ever AIS. This confirms that deprivation of senses and early generalized inflammatory response are critical for delirium development.
INVESTIGATION OF RGB SPECTRAL COMPONENTS IN THE IMAGES CAPTURED THROUGH GAMMA RAYS AFFECTED OPTICAL FOCUSING LENS

Most times, the activities that take place in hostile ionizing radiation environments (hot cells) need to have a proper visual monitoring system. In these cases, glass is the connection bridge between that environment and the one where the surveillance takes place. The purpose of this paper is the one to study of how the RGB spectral components of the images captured by such systems are affected by their exposure to ionizing radiation and how can be reversed to their initial performance by applying RGB dose correlated digital corrections. The main optical issues of the glass transmittance windows are the one of forming of colour centres, due to their interaction of the ionizing radiation, which causes glass browning phenomenon. This phenomenon has a major impact on the optical properties of the glass, such is transmittance, leading to lower and lower image quality. To obtain different gamma radiation dose, 1.25 MeV mean energy gamma quanta were used, provided by a Co source (IFIN-HH). Different optical focus components were exposed to a dose rate level of about 5.3 kGy/h ± 3 %. Practically, the results after RGB digitally processing of the images captured through irradiated optical components, where similar to the ones obtained by thermal processing of them. This digitally enhancing method is easier to be done, and it is more economic. The optical characterization of the images was done by using a Canon digital photo camera connected to a PC.
The Real Effects of Credit Supply: Review, Synthesis, and Future Directions

This paper reviews the rapidly growing literature on the real effects of bank credit supply fluctuations and identifies several worthwhile avenues for future research. In terms of the transmission of credit supply shocks into real effects, we suggest to further investigate the roles of (i) private borrower information, (ii) employment protection legislation, (iii) corporate governance, (iv) bank specialization, and (v) alternative financing sources. We also call for additional analyses of how these shocks affect (vi) investment efficiency, (vii) market structure, and (viii) the allocation of human capital, and emphasize the need for more evidence on (ix) the persistency, (x) asymmetry, and (xi) heterogeneity of their effects.
How Driving Multiple Tours Affects the Results of Last Mile Delivery Vehicle Routing Problems

Solving Vehicle Routing Problems (VRPs) is one very important step for modeling and simulating urban freight transportation and especially urban last-mile delivery. It is observed in several studies, that tour plans consist of a very high number of vehicles needed because vehicles only drive one tour. For the next tour, a new vehicle with new fixed costs is needed. This also starts in the beginning of its temporal availability. This article intends to answer the question: how tour plan and fleet size changes when vehicles can reload at the depot and run another tour within its temporal availability. The possible effects are shown in two studies for Berlin: (i) food retailing delivery and (ii) parcel delivery for one district of Berlin. The studies have different designs and policy cases to see the effects under different situations. The present research shows that reloading within the delivery tour leads to a significant reduction of vehicles needed and therefore to lower costs for the carrier. If one tour is not limited by the vehicle’s capacity but by the vehicle’s temporal availability no saving can be observed. This was the case for parcel delivery with light parcel delivery trucks. When using smaller vehicles, e.g. cargo bicycles for last mile delivery from local city hubs, vehicle capacity is the limiting factor and therefore also significant saving can be observed. As another consequence it is possible to get rid of artificially inserted breaks in time-windows for more realistic traffic. The article also critically addresses the problem of increasing computation time. c © 2019 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Nephrotic Syndrome Knowledge and Health Care Related Practices among School Age Children and their Mothers

Background: Nephrotic syndrome is documented as a common chronic disease in childhood. The knowledge of parent from different angles of the disease is vital to increase the parental awareness about therapeutic facilities to treat children and to enhance the quality of life and the health of the community. Aim of the Study: The current study was designed to assess nephrotic syndrome knowledge and health care related practices among school age children and their mothers. Subjects and Methods: A descriptive exploratory research design was utilized in this study. A convenient sample includes 50 school age children aged 8-12 years old with nephrotic syndrome and their mothers. The settings were the Pediatric Medicine Inpatient Departments and Outpatient Clinic at two Pediatric Hospitals affiliated to Cairo University. The required data was collected through structured interview questionnaire which developed by the research investigator. Nephrotic syndrome knowledge sheet and health related practices questionnaire were developed to assess knowledge and health care related practices among school age children with nephrotic syndrome and their mothers. Results: The current study revealed that the highest percentages of the children who suffer from nephrotic syndrome and their mothers had unsatisfactory level of total knowledge and health related practices. Conclusion: Mother education, occupation, place of residence and family income had a high statistical significant relation with mothers' total knowledge and health related practice, however there were no statistical significant relation between mothers' age and their knowledge. In addition, children age, education and place of residence and family income had statistical significance relation with children total knowledge. Recommendations: Pediatric nurses should provide educational sessions for school age children and their mothers about nephrotic syndrome to raise their level of health awareness about care of the disease.

A Novel Prognostic Criteria and Targeted Therapy in Sarcomatoid Variant of Chromophobic Renal Cell Carcinoma

Chromophobic renal cell carcinoma (CRCC) is a rare subtype of renal cell carcinoma, accounting for only 5.9% of epithelial kidney tumors. This study reports the findings studied in chromophobic renal cell carcinoma case with sarcomatoid differentiation in a 66-year-old patient admitted in Federal State Budgetary Institution (FSBI). This study concludes that, the criteria of aggressive behavior for chromophobic renal cell carcinoma include the following characteristics: The size of the tumor more than 7.0 cm; presence of necrosis; grade III according to Paner et al. classification; sarcomatoid differentiation (more than 30.0%); positive reaction with common acute lymphocytic leukemia antigen (CD10); nuclear expression of p53 in more than 80.0% of tumor cells; proliferation Case Report Ermilov et al.; IRJO, 2(2): 1-13, 2019; Article no.IRJO. 51289 2 marker Ki67 in more than 9.0% of tumor cells. In this case, the indication for targeted therapy was sarcomatoid differentiation (in more than 10.0% of the tumor) and a strong reaction with Vascular endothelial growth factor; 5-6 points ((VEGF-A).
How Important Is Human Capital for Development? Evidence from Immigrant Earnings

This paper offers new evidence on the sources of cross-country income differences. It exploits the idea that observing immigrant workers from different countries in the same labor market provides an opportunity to estimate their human-capital endowments. These estimates suggest that human and physical capital account for only a fraction of cross-country income differences. For countries below 40 percent of U.S. output per worker, less than half of the output gap relative to the United States is attributed to human and physical capital. (JEL O15, O41, F22)
Neurosteroids are reduced in diabetic neuropathy and may be associated with the development of neuropathic pain

Introduction: Peripheral and central sensitisation are implicated in the development of neuropathic pain. Hypersensitivity of pain pathway neurons has been described in animal models of diabetic neuropathy, which is postulated to be related to an imbalance between inhibitory and excitatory signals within the spinal cord. GABAergic neurons within the pain pathway are vital for the transmission of painful stimuli to higher centres. A developmental change in the rate of exponential decay of GABAergic synaptic events has been observed in other types of neurons and this may be associated with fluctuations in endogenous neurosteroid tone. Methods: The whole-cell patch-clamp technique was used on slices of neural tissue. Electrophysiological recordings were obtained from wild type mice between the ages of 6 and 80 days in the spinal cord, the nucleus reticularis of the thalamus and the cerebral cortex. Recordings were also obtained from mice with diabetic neuropathy (ob/ob and db/db) between the ages of 60 and 80 days. Behavioural experiments were performed to examine mechanical and thermal nociception. Results: Electrophysiological recordings from cortical pain pathway neurons from mature type-2 diabetic mice revealed that the endogenous neurosteroid tone is reduced compared to control. However, selected neurosteroid compounds had a more pronounced effect on the GABA receptors of these diabetic mice. ob/ob mice exhibit mechanical hyperalgesia and allodynia, which was reduced by neurosteroids applied exogenously. Conclusions: The reduced endogenous neurosteroid tone in ob/ob mice may be linked to their hypersensitivity. Neurosteroids may exert analgesic effects in pathological pain states by attempting to restore the physiological GABAergic inhibitory tone.
ENVIRONMENTAL RISK PERCEPTIONS OF PORT RESIDENTS: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY ON EAST SIDE OF KEELUNG PORT

Environmental risks management and assessment become essential in dealing with environmental pollution events when we pursue green environment and sustainable transportation policies. Hence, this article investigates the environmental risk perceptions of residents living in neighborhood of east Keelung Port in Taiwan. Using surveyed data collected from questionnaires, the multiple linear regression (MLR) model was used to examine the research hypotheses. We obtained several important findings in this empirical study. Firstly, the risk perceptions index of local residents indicates that pollutions produced in port operations become serious threats to health. Secondly, compensation effect, psychological factors, trust, demographic factors and physical environment were found to show influential effects upon risk perceptions of local residents. Local residents showed higher risk perceptions when they believed their daily lives were impacted more serious. Also higher trust toward Taiwan International Ports Corporation (TIPC) heightened risk perceptions. On the opposite, higher trust toward relatives, friends and environmental groups led to low risk perceptions. The people lived farther away from port areas showed lower risk perceptions, too. Besides, groups of 'female,' 'higher educated people,' and 'longer living duration' also showed higher levels of risk perceptions to local pollution risks. Finally, we studied the managerial implications in this article and proposed several recommendations for government to gain supports and trust of local residents.
LoRa Localisation in Cities with Neural Networks

Billions of wireless devices are interconnected to provide services to many aspects of life and form The Internet of Things. These devices which are often battery-powered and energy efficient can benefit greatly from an ac- curate localisation service that does not consume extra energy. Several loc- alisation methods have been developed for Low-Power Wide-Area Networks (LPWANs), with LoRa being of particular interest thanks to its long range and cost effectiveness. Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA) is a common way to find location in a LoRa network which works well in open areas but poorly in the harsh radio environment of cities. In indoor settings where the radio environment is more complicated than outdoor, RSSI fingerprinting tech- niques have been sucessfully used for positioning using WiFi and Bluetooth, with state-of-the-art solutions employing Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). This work aims to provide accurate localisation in an urban LoRa network, using an ANN-based fingerprinting approach. Two publicly available data sets collected in the cities of Utrecht and Antwerp are used to evaluate our method. We show that the ANN model can be trained on these data sets to predict location with mean errors between 411m and 581m. We determine that the presence of gateways in the fingerprint plays a major role in the ANN’s estimation but RSSI information is crucial in improving the accuracy. To realistically compare the ANN approach to TDoA, we train and test the neural network with chronologically split data. Our ANN approach achieves a mean error of 500m with 90% of cases having errors below 1070m. This RSSI fingerprinting method is more effective than TDoA at limiting large localisation errors in cities.

Short-Term Memory Deficits in the SLEEP Inbred Panel

Although sleep is heritable and conserved across species, sleep duration varies from individual to individual. A shared genetic architecture between sleep duration and other evolutionarily important traits could explain this variability. Learning and memory are critical traits sharing a genetic architecture with sleep. We wanted to know whether learning and memory would be altered in extreme long or short sleepers. We therefore assessed the short-term learning and memory ability of flies from the Sleep Inbred Panel (SIP), a collection of 39 extreme long- and short-sleeping inbred lines of Drosophila. Neither long nor short sleepers had appreciable learning, in contrast to a moderate-sleeping control. We also examined the response of long and short sleepers to enriched social conditions, a paradigm previously shown to induce morphological changes in the brain. While moderate-sleeping control flies had increased daytime sleep and quantifiable increases in brain structures under enriched social conditions, flies of the Sleep Inbred Panel did not display these changes. The SIP thus emerges as an important model for the relationship between sleep and learning and memory.
WS 3(4) 253-260

This study was conducted to determine the comparative die-off of Giardia spp. cysts and Cryptosporidium spp. oocysts in loamy soil saturated with secondary effluent. The reduction efficiency of Cryptosporidium spp. oocysts in loamy soil columns was also determined. The die-off of Cryptosporidium spp. reached only 1 log after incubation for 20 days in loamy soil saturated with either deionized water or secondary effluent at room temperature (25°C), whereas a 2 log die-off was recorded for Giardia spp. cysts. Under the same test conditions, negligible die-off was observed for MS2 bacteriophage. Filtration of secondary effluent through 25-cm long loamy soil column resulted in the reduction of 99.99% of the seeded Cryptosporidium spp. oocysts, whereas negligible reduction was observed for MS2 bacteriophage. The highest percentage of Cryptosporidium spp. oocysts was recovered from the upper 3 cm of the soil column. Destruction of oocysts of Cryptosporidium spp. in the soil matrix can be attributed to high microbial activity. The results of this study indicate that oocysts of Cryptosporidium spp. might survive for prolonged period in saturated soil and in secondary effluent under moderate temperature conditions. However, oocysts are efficiently retained in loamy soil, which hinders their access to groundwater. Further studies are needed to clarify the infectivity state of the retained viable Cryptosporidium spp. in soil material.
Motivators and Inhibitors to Reserving Hotel Accommodations via Smartphones

Purpose – The purpose of this research is to identify motivators (i.e. self-efficacy, perceived behavioural control and perceived benefits) and inhibitors (i.e. perceived cost and anxiety) that affect behavioural intentions to book hotel rooms using smartphones. Design/methodology/approach – Utilising survey data collected from online consumers who have booked hotels in London, two stages of structural equation modelling were applied to estimate the proposed model. Findings – The results of this research indicate that perceived behavioural control appears to be the core motivator for the use of smartphones to book a hotel with perceived benefits, whereas anxiety plays a negative role in leading to mobile booking behaviours. It is also identified that self-efficacy indirectly influences intentions to reserve hotel accommodation. Practical implications – This study suggests that hospitality marketers should (1) simplify the mobile purchasing process to enhance self-confidence in controlling the system during transactions; (2) educate current and potential online consumers to become aware of the competitive benefits of using smartphones; and (3) create alliances with credit card companies in order to relieve anxiety when users are asked to provide personal or banking information. Originality/value – In light of the substantial literature regarding the adoption of technology in terms of user experience (i.e. TAM), this study integrates two theoretical foundations of understanding consumer behaviours (i.e. a concept of consumer values and theory of planned
