Segmentation of Satellite Images of Solar Panels Using Fast Deep Learning Model

-Segmenting satellite images provides an easy and cost-effective solution to detect solar arrays installed on building tops and on ground over a region. Solar panel detection is the first step towards image based estimation of energy generation from the distributed solar arrays connected to a conventional electric grid. Segmentation models for small devices require light weight procedures in terms of computational effort. State-of-the-art deep learning segmentation models have the disadvantage that these require long training times, large number of floating-point operations (FLOPS) and tens of millions of parameters which make these models less suitable for devices with limited computational power. This paper proposes a deep learning segmentation architecture that is suitable for small devices. The proposed architecture combines features of Mobilenet classification architecture and Unet architecture in such a way such that it is efficient in terms of computational effort and produces segmentation results with good accuracy. The results of the proposed model are compared with the results obtained by various state-of-the-art segmentation models. The results demonstrate that the proposed model is computationally efficient as it requires less number of model parameters, less training time, consumes less number of FLOPS and produces good segmentation results with competitive accuracy.
Computing Desirable Outcomes in Specific Multi-Agent Scenarios

Coalition formation and Schelling segregation are important scenarios in algorithmic game theory. While the former considers the strategic behavior of agents gathering in coalitions, the latter is a setting in which agents of two groups seek to surround themselves with like-minded agents. In each case, the quality of outcomes can be measured in form of axioms of optimality and stability. The thesis investigates how to compute such desirable outcomes efficiently and how to deal with computational intractability by means of approximation algorithms, randomization, or domain restrictions.
Respiratory Health and Nutritional Strategy for Competitive Swimmers

There is growing interest in the potentially harmful effects in swimming pools, and the potential for swimming-related health hazards, which is gaining importance in competitive swimmers. This review was focused to discuss the following topics: (1) prevalence of respiratory difficulties in swimmers; (2) the possible factors and mechanisms which lead to the development of airway disorders in elite swimmers; (3) diet and nutrient supplementation for the management and prevention of airway problems. Summaries were concluded in this review according to the current knowledge of the respiratory problems in swimmers: (1) a high prevalence of respiratory symptoms and respiratory diseases in the elite swimmer population; (2) the potentially harmful effects in airway epithelial damage and lung permeability may caused by exposure in cold air, chlorinated products in swimming pools, and high intensity training in swimmers. (3) Observational studies have reported associations between airway symptoms and nutritional intervention (i.e. polyunsaturated fatty acid, dietary antioxidants, and vitamin D), which may have application for promoting health and sports performance for swimmers.
The Effectiveness of Motivational Interviewing Counseling to Improve Psychological Well-Being on Students with Online Game Addiction Tendency

Psychological well-being is a condition of a person who is not only free from pressure or mental problems but a mental condition that is considered healthy and functioning optimally. This study aims to determine the strength-based counseling intervention based on motivational interviewing to improve psychological well-being. This study uses an experiment with a pretest-posttest control group design. 32 eleventh-grade students in high schools in the city of Semarang involved as participants. Participants were selected using purposive sampling (low psychological well-being and online game tendency), then divided into a control group and an experimental group. The results showed that during the measurement period pre-test, post-test, and follow-up here was a significant difference (t = -9.670, p > .05) in the experimental group, while in the control group (t = -7.936, p > .05). It can be said that when viewed from the pre-test, post-test, and follow-up intervention the use of motivational interviewing to increase the level of psychological well-being is more significant than the intervention in the control group. As the result, there is a significant change in student's psychological well-being after counseling with motivational interviewing.
Heat Transfer Performance of Aluminum Foams

Because of their interesting heat transfer and mechanical properties, metal foams have been proposed for several different applications, thermal and structural. This paper aims at pointing out the effective thermal fluid dynamic behavior of these new enhanced surfaces, which present high heat transfer area per unit of volume at the expense of high pressure drop. The paper presents the experimental heat transfer and pressure drop measurements relative to air flowing in forced convection through four different aluminum foams, when electrically heated. The tested aluminum foams present 5, 10, 20 and 40 PPI (pores per inch), porosity around 0.92-0.93, and 0.02 m of foam core height. The experimental heat transfer coefficients and pressure drops have been obtained by varying the air mass flow rate and the electrical power, which has been set at 25.0 kW m ―2 , 32.5 kW m ―2 , and 40.0 kW m ―2 . The results have been compared against those measured for 40 mm high samples, in order to study the effects of the foam core height on the heat transfer. Moreover, predictions from two recent models are compared with heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop experimental data. The predictions are in good agreement with experimental data.
Performance and Hemocompatibility of a Novel Polysulfone Dialyzer: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Visual Abstract Abstract Key Points We investigated the performance and hemocompatibility of a new polysulfone hemodialyzer with enhanced membrane properties. β2-Microglobulin removal rate was noninferior to both comparator dialyzers and superior to a cellulose-acetate–based dialyzer. The dialyzer showed a favorable hemocompatibility profile on the basis of markers for complement, cell and contact activation, and coagulation. Background High-flux dialyzers effectively remove uremic toxins, are hemocompatible to minimize intradialytic humoral and cellular stimulation, and have long-term effects on patient outcomes. A new dialyzer with a modified membrane surface has been tested for performance and hemocompatibility. Methods This multicenter, prospective, randomized, crossover study involved the application of the new polysulfone-based FX CorAL 600 (Fresenius Medical Care, Bad Homburg, Germany), the polyarylethersulfone-based Polyflux 170H (Baxter Healthcare Corporation, Deerfield, IL), and the cellulose triacetate–based SureFlux 17UX (Nipro Medical Europe, Mechelen, Belgium), for 1 week each, to assess the noninferiority of the FX CorAL 600’s removal rate of β2-microglobulin. Performance was assessed by removal rate and clearance of small- and medium-sized molecules. Hemocompatibility was assessed through markers of complement, cell activation, contact activation, and coagulation. Results Of 70 patients, 58 composed the intention-to-treat population. The FX CorAL 600’s removal rate of β2-microglobulin was noninferior to both comparators (P<0.001 versus SureFlux 17UX; P=0.0006 versus Polyflux 170H), and superior to the SureFlux 17UX. The activation of C3a and C5a with FX CorAL 600 was significantly lower 15 minutes after treatment start than with SureFlux 17UX. The activation of sC5b-9 with FX CorAL 600 was significantly lower over the whole treatment than with SureFlux 17UX, and lower after 60 minutes than with the Polyflux 170H. The treatments with FX CorAL 600 were well tolerated. Conclusions FX CorAL 600 efficiently removed small- and medium-sized molecules, showed a favorable hemocompatibility profile, and was associated with a low frequency of adverse events in this study, with a limited patient number and follow-up time. Further studies, with longer observation times, are warranted to provide further evidence supporting the use of the new dialyzer in a wide range of therapeutic options, and for long-term treatment of patients on hemodialysis, to minimize the potential effects on inflammatory processes.
Social Cognitive Approach through Interactive Multimedia for Early Reading Learning

This study developed a learning model to improve students’ early reading skills in Indonesia. The model is based on social cognitive learning theory and is implemented using interactive multimedia. The research method uses Design-Based Research (DBR) and the subjects are 195 first and second graders of an elementary school in Bandung, West Java. The findings of the study show that social cognitive learning can be integrated and implemented through interactive multimedia and that interactivemultimedia-assisted social cognitive model (IMAS Model) can improve early reading skills. Students’ average early reading skill scores were measured using Early Grade Reading Assessment (EGRA) instrument before and after intervention to see the effectiveness of the model. Pre-test – post-test results comparison showed that students’ average early reading scores increased after learning using IMAS Model. Students’ average scores of reading letters, reading syllables, reading words, reading sentences, and reading comprehension skills at pre-test were 78.06, 67.06, 60.92, 55.21, and 44.95, respectively. These scores respectively increased to 92.71, 92.45, 88.58, 74.60, and 87.08 at post-test, indicating that IMAS Model is effective to increase early reading skills. ]
TRUNCATELLOIDEA): ITS PHYLOGENETIC AND ZOOGEOGRAPHIC RELATIONSHIPS

Lanzaiopsis savinica was collected from the type locality. The shell as well as the sculpture of the protoand teleoconch are presented. Mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) and nuclear histone 3 (H3) gene sequences were used to infer phylogeny. Lanzaiopsis clearly belongs to the Moitessieriidae but it is only distantly related to Lanzaia. Its sister clade is Moitessieria, while Bythiospeum is the sister clade of the one formed by Lanzaiopsis and Moitessieria. To our knowledge, Lanzaiopsis is the first representative of the moitessieriid non-Balkan clade whose range is so close to the Balkans. key worDS: genus distinctness, Moitessieriidae, COI, H3, Balkans, shell sculpture, molecular phylogeny
Evolution of soil cover and dry shoot phytomass accumulation of autumn/winter cover crops and its effect on the agronomic performance of soybean grown in succession

The cultivation of cover crops under no-tillage systems can promote positive improvements in soil attributes and promote increases in grain yield of successor crops, such as soybeans. The aim of this work was to evaluate the evolution of soil cover and accumulation of dry shoot phytomass of autumn/winter cover crops and their impact on the agronomic performance of soybean grown in succession. Black oats (Avena strigosa), rye (Secale cereale) and turnip (Raphanus sativus) were used as cover species in single crops, dual and triple intercropping, in addition to the fallow and weeded controls. The percentage of soil cover (%) and the accumulation of dry shoot phytomass were evaluated at 30, 45, 60, 75, 90 and 105 days after sowing (DAS). In soybean crop, plant height, number of productive nodes per plant, number of pods per plant, mass of a thousand grains and grain yield were evaluated. The cultivation of turnip single provided the fastest soil coverage, with 90.0% at 45 DAS. The intercropping between rye + turnip provided the largest accumulations of dry shoot phytomass, greater than 7.0 Mg ha at 105 DAS. The highest soybean yields were obtained in succession to the cultivation of black oat and rye in single, yielding approximately 3,300 kg ha, 50% higher compared to fallow and weeded treatments.
Comparison of clinical, metabolic, and hormonal parameters in lean vs. obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome: a single-center study from Bangladesh

A bi‑directional relationship exists between obesity and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Although most of the patients with PCOS are obese, normal-weight patients still account for a certain proportion of PCOS who have lesser degrees of insulin resistance and fewer metabolic risk factors. This study was conducted to compare the clinical, metabolic, and endocrine parameters of the two categories of PCOS: lean and obese PCOS. We evaluated 523 women with PCOS attending the Endocrinology outpatient department of a tertiary hospital in Bangladesh. PCOS patients with body mass index (BMI) <23 kg/m2 were categorized as lean PCOS and those with BMI ≥23 kg/m2 as obese PCOS. Out of 523 women with PCOS studied, the frequencies of lean- and obese PCOS were 23.3% and 76.7%, respectively. Age, systolic blood pressure (BP), diastolic BP, fasting plasma glucose, plasma glucose 2-hour after oral glucose tolerance test, serum triglyceride, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, total testosterone, and thyroid-stimulating hormone were higher in obese PCOS group; serum prolactin was higher in the lean PCOS group; modified Ferriman-Gallwey score and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were similar in the two groups. Acanthosis nigricans (89.3% vs. 45.9%), prediabetes (24.4% vs. 13.1%), diabetes (6.7% vs. 1.6%), pre-hypertension (22.2% vs. 9.8%), hypertension (8.7% vs. 0.8%), metabolic syndrome (61.3% vs. 14.8%), and biochemical hyperandrogenism (27.7% vs. 11.5%) were more frequent in the obese group than the lean group. The two groups had similar frequencies of menstrual irregularity, hirsutism, a family member with type 2 diabetes, and dyslipidemia. Though metabolic abnormalities are more frequently observed when obesity is associated with PCOS, both lean and obese have adverse metabolic consequences. All patients with PCOS should be screened for metabolic abnormalities irrespective of BMI category.
The Carbon Footprint Of Smallholder Dairy Farming In Sub-Saharan Africa: A Review

Agriculture sector is one of major sources of income and livelihood to many populations of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Over the past years animal production has been playing a vital role not only in generating revenues to farmers but also as a source of high qualitative proteins and essential micronutrients (i.e iron, zinc and vitamins) and boosting the agricultural productivity due to its importance in farmyards organic fertilization (i.e manure). Livestock production and Milk market in SSA are dominated by smallholder dairy farming (SDF) which employ nearly 70% of all livestock farmers. Despite its positive impact on people and SSA countries’ economy, SDF has been the major fastest growing agricultural contributors of GHG emissions such as CH 4 , N 2 O and CO 2 (i.e 9t CO 2 e per tonne of milk; the highest in the world compared to other regions) thus accelerating global warming effect. Although several articles have investigated the impacts of livestock production on climate change, to the best of our knowledge the existing literature doesn’t contain any studies that provide insight review of smallholder dairy farming’s carbon footprint (CF) in SSA. This review paper is therefore aimed at critical analysis of current knowledge in terms of CF of smallholder dairy farming in SSA and effective mitigation strategies (dietary, manure and animal management) recently proposed to reduce CH 4 and N 2 O emissions from ruminants. SSA was selected because of rapid rise of SDF in the region therefore it is expected to rapidly increase its GHG emissions in future if no sustainable measures are taken. The critical analysis, what is known and gaps in SDF from this review will help to inform the farmers, researchers, decision and policy makers interested in GHG emissions thus to provide the next direction in research and improvement of the sector for sustainability. Capacity building for raising awareness among farmers was identified as paramount to better understand the issue and the options to mitigate emissions on-farm. As longer as adaptation and mitigation strategies become paramount on national and regional agenda, SDF will make significant contribution to economies, improved livelihood and become sustainable livestock production systems in SSA at large.

Growth performance, nutrients digestibility and economy of feed conversion of broiler chickens fed diets containing cowpea milling waste and plantain peel meal mixture *Malik, A. A. , Kudu, Y. S. , and Mohammed, A. J. Department of Animal Production, Federal University of Technology, Minna, Niger State *Corresponding author: delemalik@gmail.com; 08030637763 A total of 144, one-day-old Arbor Acre chicks were used to investigate the effect of feeding diets containing cowpea milling waste and plantain peel meal mixture (CMWPPM) on the growth performance, nutrients digestibility and economy of feed conversion of broiler chickens. The birds were randomly allotted to four dietary treatments in a completely randomized design model, and consisted of 0, 10, 20 and 30 % dietary inclusion levels of CMWPPM. Each treatment was replicated three times with 12 chicks per replicate, making a total of 36 chicks per treatment. The experiment lasted for seven weeks. Nutrients rd th digestibility studies were carried out at the 3 and 7 week of the experiment using speciallydesigned metabolism cages. Results showed that at the starter phase, birds on CMWPPM 0 % had significantly (P<0.05) higher feed intake, while birds on CMMPPM 20 % had significantly (P<0.05) lower feed intake than birds on the other treatments. The cost of feed and total cost of feed intake were significantly (P<0.05) higher for CMWPPM 30 % and significantly lower for CMWPPM 20 % than for the other treatments; while feed cost per kg weight gain had no significant difference across the treatments. At the finisher phase, there were no significant differences in all the growth performance parameters measured across the treatment groups. However, total cost of feed intake was significantly (P<0.05) higher for CMWPPM 10 % and significantly (P<0.05) lower for CMWPPM 20 %. The feed cost per kg weight gain was significantly (P<0.05) higher for CMWPPM 10 % and significantly (P<0.05) lower for CMWPPM 20 % and 30 % diets. Results of nutrients digestibility at the starter phase show that though dry matter, crude protein, crude fibre and nitrogen free extract digestibility were significantly (P<0.05) different across the treatments, there were no significant (P>0.05) difference in the overall total digestible nutrient across the diets. For the finisher phase, as the level of CMWPPM increased in the diets, the CP, CF, ash, lipid, NFE and TDN decreased across the treatments Therefore, it is concluded that the inclusion level of CMWPPM in the diet of broiler chickens should not exceed 20 % for optimum economy of feed conversion at the finisher phase; whereas birds can be fed diets containing 30 % dietary inclusion level of CMWPPM with good economy of feed conversion at the starter phase.
Implications of Non –productive and Productive Government Expenditure on Output and Employment: Evidence From Nigeria

Nigerian government expenditure has been on an increasing trend over the years, and its contribution to sustainable economic development; promoting long-term output and employment has generated controversial issues in the literature. Against this background, this study analyses the impact of both productive and non-productive government expenditure on output and employment in Nigeria using the Vector Error Correction Model, The long-run equations for output and employment are established. The joint short and long-run causality was also investigated. The study shows a contrary result to theoretical predictions; Nigeria's long-run growth is not promoting by productive government expenditure. Furthermore, there is joint short and long-run causality between employment and government expenditure channels. Evidence from the output equation indicates no joint long and short-run causality. The implication of this result shows that government expenditure either productive or non-productive, has not improved the economy, although there is an increase in employment generation through the non-productive channel, which has not promoted broad-based growth. For the Nigerian government to improve the situation, the study recommends a critical assessment of public expenditure through the cost-benefit approach.
