COMPARISON OF COGULATION PROFILE IN PRE ECLAMPTIC AND ECLAMPTIC PATIENTS WITH NORMOTENSIVE PREGNANT PATIENTS

AIM: To compare the coagulation parameters in patients with preeclampsia and eclampsia with normotensive pregnant patients in Nainital district of Uttarakhand state. MATERIAL AND METHODS: From January 2012 to June 2013, coagulation indices including platelet count, prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), bleeding time (BT) and clotting time (CT) were measured in 100 patients with preeclampsia and eclampsia and compared with 100 normotensive pregnant women. The patients with coagulopathies were excluded. RESULT: In pre- eclampsia and eclampsia, decrease in platelet count (157.18±56.66 lacs/cumm) was highly significant (p<0.001). PT, aPTT and CT were normal but BT (322.46±171.39 sec) was significantly prolonged (p<0.001) in pre eclampsia and eclampsia patients. CONCLUSION: The abnormalities pertaining to coagulation parameters in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy indicate the intravascular coagulation.
Estimação de densidades via Misturas de distribuições "Skew"-normal por processos de Dirichlet"

Este trabalho analisa a estimacao de densidades do ponto de vista Bayesiano nao-parametrico. Especificamente, utiliza o modelo hierarquico de misturas por processos de Dirichlet (MDP). O principal objetivo do trabalho e estender o modelo de mistura de distribuicoes normais por processos de Dirichlet (MNDP) para estimacao de densidades, proposto por Escobar e West (1995). Nossa proposta consiste em estimar densidades utilizando um modelo de MDP cujo primeiro estagio e modelado segundo uma mistura de distribuicoes skew-normal. Como consequencia, alguns resultados importantes referentes a inferencia na familia skew-normal de locacao e escala sao obtidos. Comparamos a qualidade das estimativas de densidade obtidas a partir do modelo de mistura de distribuicoes skew-normal por processos de Dirichlet (MSNDP) com aquelas obtidas pelo modeloMNDP. Essa comparacao e realizada implementando-se o algoritmo de MacEachern e Muller (1998). Visto que a distribuicao skew-normal e mais flexivel que a distribuicao normal, acomodando distribui coes com diferentes graus de assimetria e tambem com caudas mais leves ou pesadas, o modelo proposto para estimacao de densidades e tambem mais flexivel que o modelo de Escobar e West (1995). Dessa forma, espera-se que o modelo MSNDP forneca melhores estimativas para densidades assimetricas e/ou estritamente positivas ou negativas que o modelo MNDP. Temos como objetivo secundario, comparar os algoritmos de Escobar e West (1995) e de MacEachern e Muller (1998) na estimacao de densidades via modelo MNDP. A m de atingir nossas metas, realizamos dois estudos envolvendo dados simulados e um estudo envolvendo dados reais.
Enhanced Carrier to Noise Ratio by Brillouin Amplification for Optical Communications

The limits of narrowband Brillouin gain for improving the carrier to noise ratio (CNR) of spectral lines is evaluated for 64-QAM communications. Calculations of the change in CNR for practical gain, noise, and bandwidth parameters indicate the maximum obtainable CNR enhancement factor and output CNR as being ≈25 dB and ≈40∼43 dB/0.1 nm, respectively, limited by the narrowness of the Brillouin gain bandwidth and Brillouin amplifier noise, respectively. These limits determined from the relative power suppression of out of band noise contained within a 10 GHz channel bandwidth are relevant to spectral line amplification either before data modulation at the transmitter, or for a local oscillator (LO) at the receiver for coherent detection. A calibration measurement of the bit error rate (BER) of a 48 Gb/s 64-QAM signal versus CNR of a LO loaded with ASE noise is used to extrapolate the BER from the calculated CNR for Brillouin gain. The results predict the BER being minimally degraded for an input CNR of ≈>20 dB/0.1 nm and falling below the hard decision FEC limit for an input CNR as low as ≈0 dB/0.1 nm. The estimates are found consistent with 64-QAM signal experiments of pilot tone carrier recovery by Brillouin gain for both single channel and WDM cases. The insight aids the design and estimation of achievable performance improvement for applying Brillouin amplifiers to coherent communications.
A Comprehensive Review of Optical Fiber Refractometers: Toward a Standard Comparative Criterion

Thanks to the peculiarities of optical fiber and its ability to be combined with nanotechnology, precise and accurate measurements of the changes in optical properties (i.e., refractive index) of the medium surrounding the fiber are becoming possible with a high degree of performance. Thus, optical fiber sensors (OFSs) are increasingly finding applications in biochemistry and biomedicine. Here, all types of optical fiber refractometers are covered, and they are classified into three main groups: interferometers, grating‐based structures, and resonance‐based structures (the resonance is induced by coating the optical fiber sensor with a thin film). The performance of these different structures is compared by means of the most common parameters: sensitivity, full width at half minimum or maximum, figure of merit, and quality factor. The aim here is to provide a reliable and easy‐to‐use tool to compare the performance of the most recent developments on fiber optic refractometers.

Partial myopia vs. forward-looking behaviors in a dynamic pricing and replenishment model for perishable items

This paper studies a dynamic pricing and replenishment problem for perishable items considering the behavior of decision-maker (partially myopic or forward-looking) and the dynamic effects of cumulative sales. A dynamic optimization model is presented to maximize the total profit per unit time and solved on the basis of Pontryagin's maximum principle. The optimal pricing and replenishment strategies for partially myopic and forward-looking scenarios are obtained. By comparing the partially myopic and forward-looking strategies through numerical analysis, we find the main results: First, applying a skimming pricing strategy might be a good choice when the saturation effects are considered. Second, the decreasing rate of product sales, deterioration coefficient, and holding cost of perishable items per unit exhibit impact on the behavioral preference of decision-maker. Under certain conditions, partially myopic behavior can bring more profit than forward-looking behavior. These managerial implications provide useful guidelines for the decision-maker.
Fully Convolutional Siamese Autoencoder for Change Detection in UAV Aerial Images

Different applications in remote sensing, such as crop monitoring and visual surveillance, demand the automatic detection of changes from sets of images acquired over time. Most traditional approaches use satellite imagery, which, besides the known issues such as cloud cover and image acquisition frequency for nongeostationary satellites, are very costly. In this context, with the recent technological advances, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have become ubiquitous in numerous applications. In this letter, we present a fully convolutional Siamese autoencoder method for change detection in aerial images, in particular for those obtained with UAVs. We show that, by using an autoencoder, we can further reduce the number of labeled samples required to achieve competitive results. We evaluated the performance of our approach on two different data sets, and the results showed that our methodology outperforms the state of the art, while demanding less training data.

Area-Averaged Surface Moisture Flux over Fragmented Sea Ice: Floe Size Distribution Effects and the Associated Convection Structure within the Atmospheric Boundary Layer

Sea ice fragmentation results in the transformation of the surface from relatively homogeneous to highly heterogeneous. Atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) rapidly responds to those changes through a range of processes which are poorly understood and not parametrized in numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. The aim of this work is to increase our understanding and develop parametrization of the ABL response to different floe size distributions (FSD). The analysis is based on the results of simulations with the Weather Research and Forecasting model. Results show that FSD determines the distribution and intensity of convection within the ABL through its influence on the atmospheric circulation. Substantial differences between various FSDs are found in the analysis of spatial arrangement and strength of ABL convection. To incorporate those sub-grid effects in the NWP models, a correction factor for the calculation of surface moisture heat flux is developed. It is expressed as a function of floe size, sea ice concentration and wind speed, and enables a correction of the flux computed from area-averaged quantities, as is typically done in NWP models. In general, the presented study sheds some more light on the sea ice–atmosphere interactions and provides the first attempt to parametrize the influence of FSD on the ABL.
ASSESSMENT OF THREE CASSAVA VARIETIES RESPONSES TO CASSAVA BACTERIAL BLIGHT (CBB) IN THE SEVEN AGRO-ECOLOGICAL ZONES OF C?TE D?IVOIRE DURING A SURVEY IN 2017.

Several cassava varieties are grown in Côte d’Ivoire. Some of them are more widespread than others. Their dissemination depends on characteristics such as yield, taste and dry matter content. Cassava bacterial blight pressure constitutes a threat in all cassava agroecological zones. This study aims to survey the widely used varieties Conclusion:-This study showed the geographical repartition of the three cassava varieties assessed and also the most widespread in Côte d’Ivoire. It also showed that the local ones (Akama and Yace) were still very much accepted than the improved one (Yavo). The presence of Akama and Yavo considered as sweet varieties in the AEZ6 help to understand that the geographical distribution of the varieties is changing. The varieties are in a process of adaptation in a new environment previously defined as unfavourable for their growth. Except Yace which didn’t show a susceptibility to CBB in the AEZ4 and AEZ5, the others were susceptible in all the AEZ where they were found at different rates. Yavo was the most susceptible in all AEZ excluding in the AEZ6 where it was less susceptible than Akama and Yace; however, the varieties susceptibility differed from one AEZ to another. The AEZ6 was characterized by the high level of Akama and Yace susceptibility while the AEZ5 was characterized by those of Yavo susceptibility. These zones were followed by the AEZ4 for Akama and Yavo and the AEZ1 for Yace. This behaviour in the AEZ pointed out an interaction between the varieties, the pathogen and the environment. Since these factors seems to affect the relationship between the disease and the varieties, it would be important to test these varieties for other control strategies in order to prevent yield losses due to the strong pressure of CBB.

Adaptive Multirobot Formation Planning to Enclose and Track a Target With Motion and Visibility Constraints

Addressing the problem of enclosing and tracking a target requires multiple agents with adequate motion strategies. We consider a team of unicycle robots with a standard camera on board. The robots must maintain the desired enclosing formation while dealing with their nonholonomic motion constraints. The reference formation trajectories must also guarantee permanent visibility of the target by overcoming the limited field of view of the cameras. In this article, we present a novel approach to characterize the conditions on the robots’ trajectories taking into account the motion and visual constraints. We also propose online and offline motion planning strategies to address the constraints involved in the task of enclosing and tracking the target. These strategies are based on maintaining the formation shape with variable size or, alternatively, on maintaining the size of the formation with flexible shape.
Numerical analysis of coupled Kelvin–Helmholtz and Rayleigh–Taylor instability on inclined walls

The front tracking method was used to study the 2D Kelvin–Helmholtz (K–H) instability on an inclined wall for three-component immiscible fluids. Coupled effects between K–H instability and Rayleigh–Taylor (R–T) instability were studied by analyzing the effect of inclination angle, Atwood number (At), and Richardson number (Ri) on interface evolution. The results show that the coupling of R–T instability has an important influence on the development of K–H instability. The R–T instability first affects the lower interface and then the upper interface at different inclination angles, and it is also observed that the critical time of the coupled effect is earlier with an inclined wall. The R–T instability promotes the development of upper and lower interfaces at different At numbers. In addition, the billow height increases with the increase in At number and the influence of R–T instability on the upper interface can be neglected when the dimensionless time is less than critical time t = 0.6. The R–T instability has little effect on the different surface tension in terms of Richardson number (Riσ).

Anisotropic Rashba effect and charge and spin currents in monolayer BiTeI by controlling symmetry

Manipulation of Rashba effects in two-dimensional (2D) electron systems is highly desirable for controllable applications in spintronics and optoelectronics. Here, by combining first-principles investigation and model analysis, we use uniaxial stress to control BiTeI monolayer as a Rashba 2D semiconductor for useful spin and transport properties. We find that the stress-driven electron system can be described by an effective anisotropic Rashba model including all the three Pauli matrixes, and uniaxial stress allows an out-of-plane spin component. When appropriate electron carriers are introduced into the monolayer, an in-plane electric field can induce a charge current and three spin current components (including that based on the out-of-plane spin) because of the reduced symmetry. Therefore, uniaxial stress can be used to control such Rashba 2D electron systems as the BiTeI monolayer for seeking promising devices.
Qualification of the ANET Code for Spallation Neutron Yield and Core Criticality in the KUCA ADS

Innovative nuclear reactor concepts such as the Accelerator Driven Systems (ADSs) have imposed extra requirements of simulation capabilities on the existing stochastic neutronics codes. The combination of an accelerator and a nuclear reactor in the ADS requires the simulation of both subsystems for an integrated system analysis. Therefore, a need arises for more advanced simulation tools, able to cover the broad neutron energy spectrum involved in these systems. ANET (Advanced Neutronics with Evolution and Thermal hydraulic feedback) is an under development stochastic code for simulating conventional and hybrid nuclear reactors. Successive testing applications performed throughout the ANET development have been utilized to verify and validate the new code capabilities. In this context, the ANET reliability in simulating the spallation reaction and the corresponding neutron yield as well as computing the multiplication factor of an operating ADS are here examined. More specifically, three cores of the Kyoto University Critical Assembly (KUCA) facility in Japan were analyzed focusing on the spallation neutron yield and the neutron multiplication factor. The ANET-produced results are compared with independent results obtained using the stochastic codes MCNP6.1 and MCNPX. Satisfactory agreement is found between the codes, confirming thus ANET’s capability to successfully estimate both the neutron yield of the spallation reaction and the keff of a realistic ADS.
Global Existence and Large Time Asymptotic Behavior of Strong Solution to the Cauchy Problem of 2D Density-Dependent Boussinesq Equations with Vacuum

We dedicate to the 2D density-dependent nonhomogeneous incompressible Boussinesq equations with vacuum on . At infinity, if the attenuation of initial density and temperature is not very slow. And it is gained that there is a global strong solution and is unique for the 2D Cauchy problem with the initial density which can allow vacuum conditions and even have compact support. Besides, the large time decay rates of the gradients of velocity, temperature and pressure can also be obtained which are also the same as those of the homogeneous case.
Assessing the scientific status of inflation after 
Planck

Inflation is considered as the best theory of the early universe by a very large fraction of cosmologists. However, the validity of a scientific model is not decided by counting the number of its supporters and, therefore, this dominance cannot be taken as a proof of its correctness. Throughout its history, many criticisms have been put forward against inflation. The final publication of the Planck Cosmic Microwave Background data represents a benchmark time to study their relevance and to decide whether inflation really deserves its supremacy. In this paper, we categorize the criticisms against inflation, go through all of them in the light of what is now observationally known about the early universe, and try to infer and assess the scientific status of inflation. Although we find that important questions still remain open, we conclude that the inflationary paradigm is not in trouble but, on the contrary, has rather been strengthened by the Planck data.
Multi-peak Positive Solutions of a Nonlinear Schrödinger–Newton Type System

Abstract In this paper, we study the following nonlinear Schrödinger–Newton type system: { - ϵ 2 ⁢ Δ ⁢ u + u - Φ ⁢ ( x ) ⁢ u = Q ⁢ ( x ) ⁢ | u | ⁢ u , x ∈ ℝ 3 , - ϵ 2 ⁢ Δ ⁢ Φ = u 2 , x ∈ ℝ 3 , \left\{\begin{aligned} &\displaystyle{-}\epsilon^{2}\Delta u+u-\Phi(x)u=Q(x)|u% |u,&&\displaystyle x\in\mathbb{R}^{3},\\ &\displaystyle{-}\epsilon^{2}\Delta\Phi=u^{2},&&\displaystyle x\in\mathbb{R}^{% 3},\end{aligned}\right. where ϵ>0{\epsilon>0} and Q⁢(x){Q(x)} is a positive bounded continuous potential on ℝ3{\mathbb{R}^{3}} satisfying some suitable conditions. By applying the finite-dimensional reduction method, we prove that for any positive integer k, the system has a positive solution with k-peaks concentrating near a strict local minimum point x0{x_{0}} of Q⁢(x){Q(x)} in ℝ3{\mathbb{R}^{3}}, provided that ϵ>0{\epsilon>0} is sufficiently small.
