A HYBRID SEMANTIC SIMILARITY MEASURING APPROACH FOR ANNOTATING WSDL DOCUMENTS WITH ONTOLOGY CONCEPTS

Semantic annotation of legacy Web Services is one of the fast and efficient ways to implement Semantic Web Service paradigm. Semantic similarity between concepts in WSDL (Web Services Description Language) document and ontology concepts is the backbone of semantic annotation of legacy Web Services. The overwhelming majority of previous works focused mainly on semantic similarity of concepts in a specific domain ontology. However, the concepts used in Web Services are often from multiple sources or different domain ontologies. This makes traditional approaches no longer applicable. To address this, we propose a hybrid measuring approach to measure semantic similarity between concepts in WSDL documents and concepts in OWL (Ontology Web Language) files. The proposed approach mainly consists of two parts: lexical-level similarity measuring and structural-level similarity measuring. Specially, we fusion adopt three commonly used approaches, i.e., edge-based, feature-based, and information content-based semantic similarity measuring approaches. Specifically, we map the above mentioned three approaches to three proposed internal features, i.e., depth, width, and density, in the abstract tree structure when measuring structural-level similarity. We conduct experimental comparisons, and the results show that the proposed approach provides better accuracy. Furthermore, the proposed approach can be applied in any user defined Web Services description documents in theory with a wider range of application.
Socio-Economic Implications of Migrants’ Dollars in Nigeria: A Bounds Test Approach toCo integration

Migrants’ dollars play fundamental roles in the recipient’s economy, especially for the migrant’s households who rely on them for mitigating incidences of poverty and improving their living standard. In this paper, efforts were made to examine the impacts of migrants’ dollars on socio-economic indicators in Nigeria focusing on poverty level and per capita GDP. The Pesaran-Shin Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model was applied for analyzing the time series data extracted from the National Bureau of Statistics and World Bank Development Indicators over the period 1985-2016. The Kwiatkowski, Phillips, Schmidt and Shin (KPSS) unit root test results reveal that the series are mixed integrated with evidences of levels and first difference stationary. It was found from the bounds test results that the variables in each of the models are cointegrated. The ARDL estimates indicate that personal remittances negatively impacted on poverty headcount in the short run. One percentage increase in personal remittances at contemporaneous level and lag 1 mitigates poverty headcount by 7.50 percent and 9.49 percent respectively. The results further indicate that ODA is effective in enhancing per capita GDP in the long run. Increase in ODA by 1 percent leads to 0.11 percent increase in per capita GDP. The recommendation proffered in view of the findings is that policy makers and stakeholders alike should collaborate to ensure productive use of migrants’ dollars to enable them serve as hedge against poverty and stimulate per capita GDP.

Implant supported restoration in single-tooth replacement

Background: The implant-prosthetic restoration in single missing tooth is a viable treatment option for the functional rehabilitation of tooth loss. Several published studies show that the deadline and the type of functional loading of the implant for single missing teeth is not decisive for the survival and success rate of the implant. Although the conventional protocol is still the “gold standard”, the immediate loading of dental implants in the fresh post- extraction socket of the aesthetic area has an excellent prognosis. Immediate functional loading is successfully adopted to minimize the treatment time with immediate and impact benefit on the patient’s quality of life and satisfaction. The aesthetic result is not yet systematically included in the success criteria of the therapy through implant, although a trend for this is more common in recent publications, particularly in publications evaluating the implant prosthetic rehabilitation in the anterior maxilla and mandible. In order to obtain optimal aesthetic results, it is necessary to take into account the other aesthetic parameters, together with the chosen material for the fabrication of the implant-supported single crown and the type of prosthetic abutment. Conclusions: The systematic review of the contemporary specialty literature examines the types of implantations and implant-supported restorations for single tooth replacement, the survival rates of the implant, the survival of the crown on the implant and the successful implant, incidence of biological, technical and aesthetical complications of the implants and prosthetic restorations on implants, the quality of life related to the oral health to patients with implant-prosthetic treatment.
Effects of awareness and knowledge on breast cancer among intellectuals affiliated to an Iraqi Ministry

Background: Breast cancer is the commonest cancer among females. The lack of adequate skills and knowledge precludes early detection of breast cancer. Aim of study: To evaluate the level of the awareness and knowledge on breast cancer among different levels of educated women affiliated to a Ministry in Iraq. Methodology: The sample included 75 females who were subjected to two sets of questionnaire before and after a symposium about breast cancer which has been held in the 15P P of April 2013 for 3 hours at the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs. Twenty questions were asked concerning the frequency of breast cancer, risk factors, and means of early detection, prevention and treatment. The knowledge and attitude were included for evaluation. Results: There was a significant increase in scoring regarding risk factors, knowledge and attitude. About 55% of the respondents correctly answered 50% of the total score after the lectures than before (30.7%), (p=0.01) Conclusion: The level of awareness and knowledge on breast cancer among the attendees were significantly higher after presenting the lectures. Recommendations: Educational public health awareness campaigns should be promoted to cover all sectors of the community reaching rural areas; where women are under educated and might suffer from barriers due to religious impact.
Knowledge Discovery through Data Visualization of Drive Test Data

This paper focuses on the analysis of a large volume of drive test data and the identification of adverse trends or aberrant behavior of a mobile handset under test by means of drive test data visualization. The first target application was to identify poor mobility decisions that are made by the handsets in calls. The goal was to compare a set of behaviors from a baseline unit (one accepted to generally operate well). We were able to identify a particular call that was exhibiting a different path (talking to a different cell than expected or taking longer to move to a new cell). In this paper we develop a mobility tool that evaluates the handset’s performance by means of mapping the handoffs on the Google Maps. The mapping of the handoffs by means of the Google Maps were very powerful in identifying the above mentioned mobility patterns.
ACSL1 affects Triglyceride Levels through the PPARγ Pathway

In clinical cohort studies, high expression of long-chain acyl-coenzyme A synthetases 1 (ACSL1 gene) in peripheral white blood cells of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has been utilized as molecular markers of myocardial infarction diagnosis. The plasma triglyceride level of AMI patients is significantly higher than that of healthy individuals. We hypothesized that the high expression of ACSL1 increases the level of triglyceride, which is one of the pathogenesis of AMI promoted by ACSL1. In this report, cell culture based methods were adopted to test the hypothesis and further investigate the effect and mechanism of ACSL1 on lipid metabolism. In this study, liver cells of healthy individuals were cultured, the overexpression and the knockdown vectors of ACSL1 were constructed and transfected into liver cells. The transfection was verified at the mRNA and protein level. Intracellular triglyceride content was quantitatively analyzed using ELISA. Changes of genes related to lipid metabolism were subsequently measured through PCR array. Overexpression of ACSL1 led to higher gene expression and protein levels compared to control and the triglyceride content was significantly increased in overexpressing cells. The expression level of fatty acid oxidation pathway PPARγ was significantly down-regulated compared with the control group, as were genes associated with fatty acid synthesis pathways: SREBP1, ACC, FAS, and SCD1. ACSL1 knockdown decreased the content of triglyceride whereas PPARγ was up-regulated and SREBP1, ACC, FAS, and SCD1 were down-regulated compared with the control group. In summary, high expression of ACSL1 reduced fatty acid β-oxidation through the PPARγ pathway, thereby increasing triglyceride levels.

A Study on the Concept of Employee Loyalty and Engagement on the Performance of Sales Executives of Commercial Banks in GHANA

This study examines inter-correlations of employee loyalty and engagement as independent variables and how they affect the performance of sales executives employed by commercial banks. The research further conceptualises the hypotheses formulated to show their individual contributions to performance. The research aims at finding out if the sales executives are really loyal to their employers since they are recruited as contract workers who do not enjoy the same opportunities and benefits as full time workers of the banks. The study made use of triangulation research designs (exploratory and questionnaire). A purposive sampling method was adopted to sample 50 sales executives (past and present workers) from Fidelity Bank, Eco Bank and Standard Chartered Bank. The value of Cronbach’s Alpha was calculated on employee loyalty 0.804, engagement 0.707 and employee performance 0.839 to determine the reliability and validity level of the both independent and dependent variables by using the statistical package for social science, version 20. The findings revealed that there are significant linear correlations among employee loyalty, engagement and performance. The study also showed significant positive correlations of human relation, leadership style, job content, personal development, creativity and their effect on employee loyalty. It is recommended that management of the banks should pay attention to employee loyalty and engagement in order to meet their target performance.
Poster: Evaluating Black-Box Testing Tools

The benchmarking of tools for dynamic analysis of vulnerabilities in web applications is something that is done periodically. Unfortunately, the vast majority of these evaluations are made by software enthusiasts who publish their results on blogs or on non-academic websites and always with the same evaluation methodology. Similarly, academics who have carried out this type of analysis from a scientific approach, the majority, make their analysis within the same methodology as well the empirical authors. This paper is based on the interest of finding answers to questions that many users of this type of tools have been asking over the years, such as, to know if the tool truly test and evaluate every vulnerability that it ensures do, or if the tool, really, deliver a real report of all the vulnerabilities tested and exploited. This kind of questions have also motivated previous work but without real answers.
Does culture influence birth experiences of first-generation Nigerian women in London?

The study was undertaken to explore the influence of cultural practices on birth experiences of first-generation Nigerian women (FGNW) living in London, with the objective of highlighting factors within emic and etic care that may influence birth outcomes for this population. The study entailed an exploratory, descriptive, contextual and qualitative methodology organised in two stages. Focus group discussions and semi-structured interviews were conducted with self-identifying FGNW with retrospective birth experiences, and eight non-Nigerian and four Nigerian midwives providing maternity care for this population. Second part entailed prospective study of FGNW at three intervals during a birth continuum. Combined epistemologies of culture care and trans-cultural theory were adopted. Thematic and ethno-nursing analytical approaches of identifying, analysing and reporting patterns and themes within the data ensued. Findings indicate that culture exerts a significant influence on birth and maternity care experiences of FGNW as care meanings are embedded in cultural values and beliefs, economics of family and other support networks, diaspora environment, culture of expectations, rituals and taboos, kinship of support, and immigration barriers in their negotiation of maternity care. Conflicts were uncovered between FGNW’s cultural and midwives professional care as aspects of FGNW’s cultural practices warrant preservation, negotiation; re-patterning to ensure continuing perinatal health and wellbeing. Culture Care Midwifery Model is espoused as a model to guide midwives in providing culturally congruent care that will meet the care needs of FGNW and optimise their health and wellbeing through birth continuum. Key words: Birth, culture, culture care, cultural congruence, emic care, ethno-nursing theory, etic care, family, kinship.
Crack identification in non-uniform bending vibrating beams by minimal frequency data

In this paper we consider the identification of a single open crack in a simply-supported beam under infinitesimal in-plane flexural vibration. The profile of the beam is assumed to be smooth and symmetric with respect to the mid-point of the beam axis. The crack is modelled by a rotational linearly elastic spring placed at the damaged cross section. It is shown that the knowledge of the first two natural frequencies of the damaged beam are sufficient for the unique identification of the position (up to symmetry) and the severity of the crack. A constructive algorithm for solving the inverse diagnostic problem is presented.
Comb Decoding towards Collision-Free WiFi

Packet collisions happen every day in WiFi networks. RT-S/CTS is a widely-used approach to reduce the cost of collisions of long data packets as well as combat the hidden terminal problem. In this paper, we present a new design called comb decoding (CombDec) to efﬁciently resolve RTS collisions without changing the 802.11 standard. We observe that an RTS payload, when treated as a vector in a vector space, exhibits a comb-like distribution; i.e., a limited number of vectors are much more likely to be used than the others due to RTS payload construction and ﬁrmware design. This enables us to reformulate RTS collision resolution as a sparse recovery problem. We create algorithms that carefully construct the search range for sparse recovery, making the complexity feasible for system design and implementation. Experimental results show that CombDec boosts the WiFi throughput by 33.6% – 46.2% in various evaluation scenarios.

Abstract. In this article the usage of block matrices in modelling of the squirrel cage motors is presented. The relation between the structure of a block matrix and the self and mutual inductances coefficients is examined. The inversion method and determinant calculation of the block matrix of self and mutual inductances are shown. Exemplary numerical calculations are also presented to prove validity of the presented method of the matrix inversion.
Bipartite networks for link prediction: Can they improve prediction performance?

Link prediction is concerned with the question to what extent it is possible to predict which links will exist in a future snapshot of an evolving network. Several measures, called predictors, have been proposed to achieve more accurate predictions. However, these are typically based on unipartite networks, even though many of the examined networks have an underlying bipartite structure. In this contribution, we examine whether predictions based on the original bipartite networks are able to improve prediction accuracy. We present bipartite versions of several neighbor-based predictors, the Katz predictor and the Rooted PageRank predictor, and discuss their strong and weak points. Both the unipartite and bipartite predictors are then tested on two co-authorship networks. The results show that some bipartite predictors form a considerable improvement to their unipartite counterparts. We also note remarkable differences between the two case studies and discuss possible reasons for this disparity.
Malaria research: preliminary findings of a bibliometric approach

The object of the ongoing research reported here is to analyze and comprehend the international research efforts in malaria research derived from numerous programs and international initiatives, such as published and indexed articles by the major scientific databases. Our objective is to map the international and Brazilian research production, skills and competence along with the key research topics and themes of malaria research in the world and in Brazil. We also aim to identify the pattern of malaria research funding, which should provide subsidies to improve public policies in the field. References on the subject obtained from the Science Citation Index (SCI) and PubMed Medline (web edition) databases for the period 1997-2007 are analyzed and show that the research takes place mainly in Europe and North America, not the peripheral countries who are directly affected by the disease. Internationally, the most substantial funding for malaria research came from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and World Health Organization (WHO). In Brazil, these were The National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) and the State of São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP). These data are preliminary and we intend to extend the searches to other databases and also use network analysis to detect collaborative research groups or communities in this area.
Selection of Process Variables Used for Gas Metal Arc Welding of Low Carbon Steel Plates by Metallographical Method

Many methods have been employed by various researchers to determine the quality of the weld made from either varying the welding process parameters or altering the chemical composition of the weldment by selecting an appropriate filler metal and shielding gas mixtures. This study has taken a step further, to also evaluate the quality of the welds by applying the metallographical method to select process variables used for gas metal arc welding of low carbon steel plates. An average of 64welds was obtained by varying the process variables developed by a matrix design presented in Table 1 through Table 3. The welds were classified by a metallographical method as either very good, bad or very bad. The corresponding impact strengths were also obtained. Standard deviation of the responses was obtained and the selection criteria was established and was used to select weld sample number 56 which had the highest weld factor of 0.87, as the weld with the best microstructure, strength and quality. The mechanical properties of the selected weld showed that the UTS and BHN values conformed to those from reported literature.
Numerical Simulation of Aerodynamic Penalties of the DHC-6 Twin Otter Aircraft in Heavy Rain

Numerical simulations are conducted on the DHC-6 Twin Otter wing and horizontal tailplane to explore the aerodynamic penalties that affect airfoil performance in heavy rain conditions. An Eulerian-Lagrangian twophase flow method is used to simulate the aerodynamic performance of the wing under rainfall conditions. The air is regarded as continuous phase solved by the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations. The rain is regarded as discrete phase solved by the particle equations of motion in the Lagrangian reference frame. Our simulation results agree well with the experimental data and show obvious regularity. The lift decreases and the drag increases under the influence of heavy rain. The wing experiences more severe aerodynamic penalties than the horizontal tailplane at the same rain condition. The influence of rainfall leads to premature stall and separation.
Effect of diluted Royal jelly on Semen quality, immunological and biochemical parameters in white rabbits

Background: Royal jelly was secreted from cephalic glands of nurse bees as product, this product has many activities on health especially the infertility effects. This study was design to determine the royal jell activity on rats males. Materials and methods: In this study the rats males were classified to four groups according to royal jell concentration that feed to them, one control and three case group. The case groups gavaged 100 ,200 300 mg/kg Royal jelly once a day, while the control group not give the Royal jelly. The feed was continuing for 30 days. The quality of semen, biochemical and immunological constituents were evaluated and performed on samples. Results: the sperm concentration, motility, live sperm give statistically significant difference according among study groups when camper with control group except the semen volume. The biochemical and immunological parameters (testosterone, IgG, IgM, IgA) give statically significant difference. Conclusion: The quality of semen parameters increased due to royal jelly consumption especially the sperm concentration and motility, RJ have characteristic that increase testosterone levels and give good immunity that lead to increase fertility in rat’s males. These effects would be useful for infertile men who have low sperm count and weak sperm motility to help them for fertility.
