Automatic Facial Expression Recognition Method Using Deep Convolutional Neural Network

Facial expressions are part of human language and are often used to convey emotions. Since humans are very different in their emotional representation through various media, the recognition of facial expression becomes a challenging problem in machine learning methods. Emotion and sentiment analysis also have become new trends in social media. Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN) is one of the newest learning methods in recent years that model a human's brain. DCNN achieves better accuracy with big data such as images. In this paper an automatic facial expression recognition (FER) method using the deep convolutional neural network is proposed. In this work, a way is provided to overcome the overfitting problem in training the deep convolutional neural network for FER, and also an effective pre-processing phase is proposed that is improved the accuracy of facial expression recognition. Here the results for recognition of seven emotional states (neutral, happiness, sadness, surprise, anger, fear, disgust) have been presented by applying the proposed method on the two largely used public datasets (JAFFE and CK+). The results show that in the proposed method, the accuracy of the FER is better than traditional FER methods and is about 98.59% and 96.89% for JAFFE and CK+ datasets, respectively.

DRYING KINETICS, HEATING UNIFORMITY AND QUALITY CHANGES DURING THE MICROWAVE VACUUM DRYING OF ARTICHOKES (CYNARA SCOLYMUS L.)

In this study, our aim was to investigate the effect of process parameters such as the microwave power (450-800 W), system pressure (12.40 – 31.20 kPa) and drying time (0-25 min) on the drying kinetics, quality characteristics and heating uniformity indices during the microwave vacuum (MV) drying of artichokes. The microwave power was found to be more influential than the system pressure, and variations resulted in different drying characteristics. The effective diffusion coefficients were found to range from 2.279×10-6 3.454×10-6 m2/s and 3.600×106.297×10m2/s for the first and second falling rate periods, respectively. Reducing microwave power and system pressure resulted in higher uniformity in temperature distributions. However, the average temperatures deviated slightly from the targeted drying temperatures at high microwave power. The highest shrinkage coefficient (0.3705±0.0233) and rehydration ratio (3.82±0.091) values were obtained at 800 W and 12.4 kPa. MV drying preserved the fresh colour characteristics of artichokes, and it could be used as an alternative to conventional drying.
Board Diversity or Tokenism: A Case for Social Inclusion and an Efficiency Model

This exploratory paper examines the concept of diversity as a dynamic of board effectiveness. The study argues that diversity hardly works without putting in place systems and programmes that promote social inclusion, and, as such, research on board diversity must account for this element in building empirical frameworks and model specifications. The study finds that a great majority of previous studies have ignored this variable of significant importance and, in some instances, conflated it with diversity itself. This represents a material flaw that needs to be addressed. This paper offers guidance on how to measure and account for social inclusion and integration in board diversity research. Finally, a portfolio efficiency frontier model is proposed as a mechanism for differentiating between corporations with efficient board diversity and those that are tokenism based.
Influence of nitrogen and phosphorus on the growth and yield of BRRI dhan57

The field experiment was carried out during the period from July to November, 2013 at the research farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh to investigate the influence of nitrogen and phosphorus on the growth and yield of BRRI dhan57. The two factorial experiments were laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Four levels of nitrogen N 0 : 0 kg N ha -1 , N 1 : 90 kg N ha -1 , N 2 : 120 kg N ha -1 , N 3 : 150 kg N ha -1 and three levels of phosphorous P 0 : 0 kg P 2 O 5 ha -1 , P 1 : 25 kg P 2 O 5 ha -1 and P 2 : 35 kg P 2 O 5 ha -1 were used in this experiment. Data revealed that at 30 and 60 days after transplanting (DAT) and at the time of harvest the tallest plants were observed in the treatments N 2 (120 kg N ha -1 ), P 2 (35 kg P ha -1 ) and treatment combination N 2 P 2 (120 kg N and 35 kg P ha -1 ) whereas, the treatments N 0 , P 0 and treatment combination N 0 P 0 (without N and P) showed the smallest plant height in each case, respectively. Side by side, N 2 , P 2 treatments and N 2 P 2 treatment combination gave the maximum effective tillers hill -1 , highest length of panicle and the maximum filled grains panicle -1 . The highest 1000 grain weight (20.85 g), grain yield (4.95 t ha -1 ), straw yield (5.39 t ha -1 ) and biological yield (10.34 t ha -1 ) were found in the treatment combination N 2 P 2 and also found highest in each individual under N 2 and P 2 treatments.
MULTI-OBJECTIVE GREEN MIXED VEHICLE ROUTING PROBLEM UNDER ROUGH ENVIRONMENT

This paper proposes a multi-objective Green Vehicle Routing Problem (G-VRP) considering two types of vehicles likely company-owned vehicle and third-party logistics in the imprecise environment. Focusing only on one objective, especially the distance in the VRP is not always right in the sustainability point of view. Here we present a bi-objective model for the G-VRP that can address the issue of the emission of GreenHouse Gases (GHGs). We also consider the demand as a rough variable. This paper uses the Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) to solve the proposed model. Finally, it uses Multicriteria Optimization and Compromise Solution (abbreviation in Serbian – VIKOR) method to determine the best alternative from the Pareto front.
Coupling between resonant sloshing and lateral motions of a two-dimensional rectangular tank

Abstract The natural frequencies for sloshing without coupling with lateral tank motions differ from the natural sloshing frequencies with coupling. A consequence is that the nonlinear multimodal sloshing theory for prescribed tank motion should be revised when studying the liquid sloshing dynamics in connection with marine structures in ocean waves. The needed revisions are done for a rectangular rigid tank with finite liquid depth. Steady-state resonant solutions of the constructed nonlinear modal equations are derived to analytically describe the coupled resonant sloshing and sway of a floating rigid body in regular incident deep water waves with two-dimensional flow conditions at the lowest coupled sloshing–sway natural frequency. The steady-state theoretical results are validated by comparing them with the model tests by Rognebakke & Faltinsen (J. Ship Res., vol. 47, issue 3, 2003, pp. 208–221). The occurrence of an instability frequency range is theoretically justified.
REVIEW OF CASES OF MORBIDLY ADHARENT PLACENTA IN A TERTIARY CARE UNIT

Background: Morbidly adherent placenta (MAP) along with its variants is one of most dangerous obstetric emergency associated with high maternal morbidity and mortality. Objective: Aim of this study was to determine frequency and complications of MAP in our local population presenting to a tertiary care unit Methods: Retrospective analysis of case records of all the women diagnosed as MAP was performed. Relevant details were sought from medical record. Frequency of MAP was calculated. Maternal morbidity including blood loss , need of transfusion. Hysterectomy, surgical complications, ICU admission and maternal mortality were also recorded.Results: During study period 23 cases of MAP were identified. In this study frequency of MAP was 1 in 273.56 pregnancies (0.36%) and 1 in118.82 caesarean sections (0.84%). Majority of patients (16) were diagnosed as placenta accrete, others included 3 cases of placenta increta and 4 cases of placenta percreta. Blood loss was more than 2 litres in 21 patients. All patients required more than 4 units of blood transfusion. Obstetrical hysterectomy was required in 17 patients due to uncontrollable haemorrhage. Bladder injury was encountered in 3 patients and two patients required internal iliac ligation and uterovaginal packing each. ICU admission was needed in 17 patients. During study period 2 patients with placenta percreta were expired.Conclusion: Frequency of MAP is increasing in our local population probably due to increasing caesarean section rate. The associated significant maternal morbidity and mortality warrants need to reduce caesarean rate and early diagnosis in high risk patients.
Emotional and Cognitive Empathy in Caregivers of People With Neurodegenerative Disease: Relationships With Caregiver Mental Health

Caregiving for a person with dementia or neurodegenerative disease is associated with increased rates of depression and anxiety. As the population ages and dementia prevalence increases worldwide, mental health problems related to dementia caregiving will become an even more pressing public health concern. In the present study, we assessed emotional empathy (physiological, behavioral, and self-reported emotional responses to a film depicting others suffering) and two measures of cognitive empathy (identifying the primary emotion experienced by another person and providing continuous ratings of the valence of another person’s changing emotions) in relation to mental health (standard questionnaires) in 78 caregivers of people with dementia or neurodegenerative disease. Greater emotional empathy (self-reported emotional responses) was associated with worse mental health even after accounting for known risk factors. Neither measure of cognitive empathy was associated with mental health. A relationship between high levels of emotional empathy and poor mental health in caregivers suggests possible risk indicators and intervention targets.
Evaluation of Anti-cancer Effect of Different Concentrations of Black Raspberries Extract on Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Cell Line (In Vitro Study)

Background: Black Raspberry has a wide range of pharmacological and therapeutic aspects including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. Moreover, the effect of Black Raspberry has been studied in many cancers such as human cervical, esophageal and colorectal cancer and showed cytotoxic and anti-proliferative effects against these types of cancer. Aim: To identify the possible anti-cancer effect of Black Raspberry on Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma cell line. Material and methods: Human tongue squamous cell carcinoma cell line was divided into 3 groups: one control group, second group treated with Black Raspberry, and the third group treated with Doxorubicin, each of the two treatments was applied for 24, 48, 72 hours, respectively. Then, cellular viability was measured using Microculture Tetrazolium assay, cell cycle analysis was done using Flow Cytometry and eventually, apoptotic activity was evaluated using Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent assay. Results: Black Raspberry succeeded to decrease the percentage of viable and proliferating cells with increasing time. On the other hand, it increased the percentage of apoptotic cells and levels of caspase-3. Conclusion: Black Raspberry has a potential cytotoxic effect on oral squamous cell carcinoma cell line in a dose and time dependent manner, and exerts this action through induction of apoptosis, and its action is comparable to Doxorubicin action.
Grumpy Consumers, Good Citizens? Exploring the Relationship Among Internet Use, Online Consumer Behavior, and Civic Participation in China

Existing empirical research has rarely examined the influence of Internet use on civic participation through the lens of consumer behavior. In this study, we propose a consumer empowerment model to explore the relationship between Internet use and civic participation mediated by consumer behavior variables including online shopping and consumer complaints. Using survey data ( N = 1,000) of Internet users in China, we found a positive association among Internet use, civic participation
The Effectiveness of Edutainment toward Pregnancy Care on Knowledge, Attitude, and Action in Pregnant Women

Background: Playing or studying in a pleasant atmosphere is an important factor in education. Through edutainment, pregnant women can facilitate understanding and be able to influence and motivate people's behavior. Learning with the Edutainment method should be able to provide positive benefits to pregnant women so that they can make learning right on target not only cognitive but also affective. Health promotion using a learning method called Edutainment which is expected to provide new solutions in the process of providing education to pregnant women. Subjects and Method: This was an experimental study using pretest and posttest control group design with a randomize controlled trial (RCT). In this design, two groups were randomly selected so that an experimental group was formed with a sample size of 100 pregnant women who were treated with the edutainment method on pregnancy care and a control group with a sample size of 100 pregnant women who were treated with the conventional method. The dependent variable was the knowledge, attitude, and action. The independent variable was Edutainment. Data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed using different test analysis on STATA 13. Results: Knowledge about self-care before pregnant women after receiving edutainment (Mean = 40.54; SD = 2.18) was better than not getting edutainment (Mean= 39.32; SD= 2.26), and the difference was statistically significant (p <0.001). Because there are differences before the intervention (baseline), to determine the effect of edutainment on knowledge, it is necessary to compare the difference in knowledge scores between before and after edutainment in the edutainment group compared with the control group. Attitudes about self-care among pregnant women after receiving edutainment (Mean = 44.15; SD = 1.40) were better than those without edutainment (Mean= 42.28; SD= 2.87), and the difference was statistically significant (p <0.001). Self-care measures for pregnant women after receiving edutainment (Mean= 45.53; SD= 0.74) were better than those without edutainment (Mean= 42.57; SD= 2.58), and the difference was statistically significant (p <0.001). Conclusion: Edutainment is effective to increase the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (behavior, actions) of pregnant women about self-care for pregnancy.

Optimisation of amylase and xylanase addition in dependance of white flour amylase activity

In this study the effect of different quantities of added amylase to white wheat flours characterized with different activities of naturally existing amylases is tested. Response surface methodology is chosen to test the effects of main applied technological parameters on bread quality responses. Independent variables are chosen to be: quantity of added amylase and bulk fermentation time, while analysed responses are: specific volume, grain structure, bulk fermentation. Bread quality responses are statistically significant, while predicted and observed responses correspond very well, which allows good prediction of bread quality parameters based on applied technological parameters and flour characteristics. Score analysis shows that optimum quantity of amylase addition regarding bread quality depends on the activity of naturally existing amylases. Optimal quantity of added xylanase in bread samples made from both flour types is 0.004%. Xylanase improved properties of white wheat bread and higher effect is experienced with flour that has more active naturally existing amylases. Addition of amylase has statistically significantly increased a* values of crust. Addition of xylanase has statistically significantly decreased values of b* in comparison to the respective bread sample with only added amylase.
Robust X-ray angular correlations for the study of meso-structures

As self-assembling nanomaterials become more sophisticated, it is becoming increasingly important to measure the structural order of finite-sized assemblies of nano-objects. These mesoscale clusters represent an acute challenge to conventional structural probes, owing to the range of implicated size scales (10 nm to several micrometres), the weak scattering signal and the dynamic nature of meso-clusters in native solution environments. The high X-ray flux and coherence of modern synchrotrons present an opportunity to extract structural information from these challenging systems, but conventional ensemble X-ray scattering averages out crucial information about local particle configurations. Conversely, a single meso-cluster scatters too weakly to recover the full diffraction pattern. Using X-ray angular cross-correlation analysis, it is possible to combine multiple noisy measurements to obtain robust structural information. This paper explores the key theoretical limits and experimental challenges that constrain the application of these methods to probing structural order in real nanomaterials. A metric is presented to quantify the signal-to-noise ratio of angular correlations, and it is used to identify several experimental artifacts that arise. In particular, it is found that background scattering, data masking and inter-cluster interference profoundly affect the quality of correlation analyses. A robust workflow is demonstrated for mitigating these effects and extracting reliable angular correlations from realistic experimental data.
A theoretical formulation of dilatation/contraction for continuum modelling of granular flows

Abstract Shear dilatation/contraction of granular materials has long been recognized as an important process in granular flows but a comprehensive theoretical description of this process for a wide range of shear rates is not yet available. In this paper, a theoretical formulation of dilatation/contraction is proposed for continuum modelling of granular flows, in which the dilatation/contraction effects consist of a frictional component, which results from the rearrangement of enduring-contact force chains among particles, and a collisional component, which arises from inter-grain collisions. In this formulation, a frictional solid pressure, which considers the rearrangement of contact force chains under shear deformation, is proposed for the frictional dilatation/contraction, while well-established rheological laws are adopted for the collisional inter-grain pressure to account for the collisional dilatancy effect. The proposed formulation is first verified analytically by describing the shear-weakening behaviour of granular samples in a torsional shear rheometer and by capturing the incipient failure of both dry and immersed granular slopes. The proposed dilatation/contraction formulation is then further validated numerically by integrating it into a two-fluid continuum model and applying the model to study the collapse of submerged granular columns, in which the dilatation/contraction plays a critical role.
The role of defects for the lock-in transition and the formation of polar nanodomains in A2BX4-compounds

ABSTRACT High-resolution gamma-ray diffraction in combination with in situ impedance spectroscopy has been used to characterize the lock-in transition in high-quality (K1-xRbx)2ZnCl4 mixed crystals with different doping levels x (0 < x < 7.5%). It is shown that the phase transition becomes extremely sluggish if the defect concentration is increased. While the incommensurate phase is destroyed quite rapidly, the adaption of the stable and well-ordered commensurate structure takes several days. In between there is a strongly disordered phase characterized by residual discommensurations which are pinned by the impurity defects. By careful preparation of the samples and consideration of the kinetic behavior, the lock-in transition and the interesting regime just above Tc where polar nanodomains exist can be shifted towards room temperature.
Treatment of Pediatric Mandibular Fractures Utilizing the Open Cap Splint: A Clinical Study

Background: Mandibular fracture in pediatric patients always presents a challenge with respect to their diagnosis and treatment. As this pediatrics is of a growing age, care should be taken so that later the overall growth pattern of the mandibular skeleton is not disturbed. Although, the incidence and distribution of in pediatric patient’s mandibular fractures is common, there are few reports about this type of trauma in Iraqi people. The aim of this study: To assess the efficiency of open cap splint and circumferential wires in the closed reduction as a treatment modality in mandibular fractures affecting children and teenagers. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective clinical study included 10 pediatric patients presented with mandibular fractures. The age of the patients was divided into two age groups, the first decade aged group for patients younger than 10 years and the second decade aged group is patients with 10-19 years. Both of them were managed using closed reduction with aid of open cap splint and circumferential wire. The descriptive analysis included percentages or the mean ± standard deviation (SD). All investigated variables were analyzed statistically using the chi-square test. Results: The patient’s age was ranged from 2-15 years with a mean of 6.7 years and a standard deviation (SD) of ± 3.6 years. Eight of the patients 80% were in the first decade of life, while the remaining two patients (20%) were in the second decade. Males in this study were higher than females (70% vs 30%) respectively with a male to female ratio of 2.33:1. The most common cause of injury for first decade age group was fall from height in 90% of cases, and the mostly affected site of fracture was the prarsymphyseal region (70%). The results of this study explained that 40% of patients presented with discomfort and 90% of them suffered from pain in the first week after surgery. Conclusion: Mandibular fractures in Pediatric patients reported most frequently in the first decade of life with male predominance. Falls was the most common cause of mandibular fractures. The incidence of mandibular fractures is high in the parasymphyseal region since it was the most affected site. The surgical treatment was indicated in all cases and no major complications encountered, the open cap splint proved to be satisfactory for the surgeon and patients. Most cases were managed using 2 circumferential wires, which was quite enough for effective fixation.
