We propose ‘Hide-and-Seek’ a general purpose data augmentation technique, which is complementary to existing data augmentation techniques and is beneficial for various visual recognition tasks. The key idea is to hide patches in a training image randomly, in order to force the network to seek other relevant content when the most discriminative content is hidden. Our approach only needs to modify the input image and can work with any network to improve its performance. During testing, it does not need to hide any patches. The main advantage of Hide-and-Seek over existing data augmentation techniques is its ability to improve object localization accuracy in the weakly-supervised setting, and we therefore use this task to motivate the approach. However, Hide-and-Seek is not tied only to the image localization task, and can generalize to other forms of visual input like videos, as well as other recognition tasks like image classification, temporal action localization, semantic segmentation, emotion recognition, age/gender estimation, and person re-identification. We perform extensive experiments to showcase the advantage of Hide-and-Seek on these various visual recognition problems.

Land Use Planning for Brackish Water Shrimp Ponds in The North Coast of Tuban, Indonesia

Shrimp is a commodity that is increasingly in demand. The limited land resources implies the need of effective land use planning. The objective of this study was to assess land suitability for brackish water shrimp ponds, which then will be recommended for pond development in the north coast of Tuban, Indonesia. Analytical hierarchy process (AHP) were used to obtain the weight of the different criteria consisted of soil characteristics, topographic, water quality, and infrastructure criteria. The suitable land for brackish water shrimp ponds was determined by weighted overlay in GIS. The results show that the study area contains highly suitable land for brackish water shrimp ponds. Land use and land cover map was interpreted from 2014 SPOT 5 imagery. The area recommended for brackish water shrimp pond wasdelineated by taking into account the suitability and the constraints of land use and land cover.
Prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors among workers at a private tertiary center in Angola

Background The burden of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is increasing in most countries of sub-Saharan Africa. However, as there is a scarcity of data, little is known about CVD in Angola. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of prehypertension, hypertension, prediabetes, diabetes, overweight, and obesity among workers at a private tertiary center in Angola. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among 781 workers of Clínica Girassol, a tertiary health care center in Angola, during the month of November 2013. Demographic, anthropometric, and clinical variables were analyzed. Results Of the 781 participants studied, 50.44% were males and 78.11% were under 40 years old. The prevalence of hypertension and prehypertension was 17.93% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 15.24%–20.74%) and 54.03% (95% CI: 50.58%–57.62%), respectively. Among hypertensive subjects, 83.57% (117) were unaware of the diagnosis. Hypertension was associated with age (≥40 years) (odds ratio [OR]: 6.21; 95% CI: 4.18–9.24; P<0.001) and with overweight and obesity (OR: 2.32; 95% CI: 1.56–3.44; P<0.001). The prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes was 2.69% (95% CI: 1.54%–3.97%) and 7.94% (95% CI: 6.02%–9.99%), respectively. The prevalence of overweight was 34.44% (95% CI: 31.11%–37.90%) and 19.85% (95% CI: 17.03%–22.79%) for obesity. There was an association between overweight and obesity and the female sex (OR: 1.71; 95% CI: 1.29–2.28; P<0.001). The prevalence of family history of CVD, smoking, and alcoholism was 52.24%, 4.87%, and 45.33%, respectively. Conclusion There was a high prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in apparently healthy workers at the private tertiary center in Angola.

Effects of amines on particle growth observed in new particle formation events

Particle size distributions in the range of 0.01–10 µm were measured in urban Shanghai in the summer of 2013 using a Wide‐range Particle Spectrometer (WPS). Size‐segregated aerosol samples were collected concurrently using a Micro‐Orifice Uniform Deposit Impactor (MOUDI), which aided our in‐depth understanding of the new particle formation (NPF) mechanism in the polluted Yangtze River Delta area. During the observations, 16 NPF events occurred at high temperatures (~34.7°C) on clear and sunny days. In the ammonium‐poor PM1.0 (particulate matter less than 1.0 µm), sulfate and ammonium accounted for 92% of the total water‐soluble inorganic species. Six aminiums were detected in these MOUDI samples, among which the group of diethylaminium and trimethylaminium (DEAH+ + TMAH+) was the most abundant. The very high level of aminiums (average concentration up to 86.4 ng m−3 in PM1.8), together with highly acidic aerosols, provided insight into the frequent NPF events. The high mass ratio of total aminiums to NH4+ (>0.2 for PM0.056) further highlighted the important role of amines in promoting NPF. The concentration of DEAH+ + TMAH+ in new particles below 180 nm was strongly correlated with aerosol phase acidity, indicating that acid‐base reactions dominated the aminium formation in NPF events. The unexpected enhancement of DEAH+ + TMAH+ on a nonevent day was attributed to the transportation of an SO2 plume. Our results reveal that the heterogeneous uptake of amines is dominated by the acid‐base reaction mechanism, which can effectively contribute to particle growth in NPF events.
Synthesis of Rice Husk-Based Zeolit using Hydrothermal Method and Its Detergent Builder Properties

Detergents are cleaning agents that consist of a complex formulation such as surfactants, builders, bleaching,fillers and other additives. Detergent builder that commonly used is sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) that are unfriendly environmentally. One of the detergent builders that is more environmentally friendly is zeolite. Therefore, in the present work, zeolite was synthesized using hydrothermal method by varying the temperature and characterised its detergent builder properties. Zeolite was synthesized by mixing sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) and sodium aluminate NaAl(OH)4 with the presence of NaOH. Firstly, a mixture of sodium silicate and sodium aluminate formed sol and gradually become gel. After that, the gel had been treated by hydothermal for 7 hours at different temperatures: 50C,100C and 150C. Several characteristic techniques such as FTIR and XRD were applied to identify functional group and the crystal structure, respectively. Furthermore, the detergent builder properties were characterised using cation exchange capacity (CEC) and detergency test. The result showed that zeolite synthesized at 100C gave better washing capability than others. Keywords: zeolite, detergent, builder, rice husk, hydrothermal
The Early and Middle Pleistocene Archaeological Record of Greece: Current Status and Future Prospects

By applying a fieldwork-based, geoarchaeological approach, Tourloukis examines in this study the evidence from Greece within the framework of the earliest occupation of Europe. Although the Greek Peninsula lies within a core area of early hominin movements between Africa and Europe but also within Eurasia itself, the Lower Palaeolithic record of Greece remains as yet extremely poor. Chossing the scanty Greek record as a case-study, Tourloukis elaborates on a hitherto largely overlooked subject in the Eurasian Early-Middle Pleistocene archaeology: the role of geomorphic processes in biasing archaeological distribution patterns of early human presence. This study identifies the current status of the record, explains this status from a geoarchaeological and geomorphological perspective, and prospects its future enrichment. The analysis is carried-out on a landscape-scale and it assesses preservation potential in conjuction with archaeological visibility. Finally a conceptual model emerges that can assist in interpreting and/or predicting early Palaeolithic site locations in tectonically active settings, such as those of the Mediterranean Basin.
Middle Miocene (Badenian) brachiopods from the Roztocze Hills, south-eastern Poland

The brachiopod assemblage from the Middle Miocene (Badenian) shallow water deposits of the Roztocze Hills (Lublin Upland, south-eastern Poland) comprises eight species belonging to six genera. Four of them, i.e. Ancistrocrania abnormis (DEFRANCE), Cryptopora sp. A, Cryptopora sp. B . and Platidia cf. anomioides (SCACCHI & PHILlPPI) are very rare, while the species Megathiris detruncata (GMELIN), Argyrotheca cuneata (RISSO), A. cordata (RISSO) and Megerlia truncata (LINNAEUS) are very abundant what allows the range of morphological variability of those species to be recognized. Three species: Ancistrocrania abnormis, Platidia cf. anomioides and Argyrotheca cuneata are reported for the first time from Poland. The brachiopod percentages in particular samples show considerable differences although the samples come from the shallow water deposits originating in similar conditions and during a narrow span of time. Thus, the brachiopod assemblage structure seems to be controlled not only by depth but by such factors as particular substrate and habitat availability as well. The brachiopod fauna from the Roztocze Hills displays the resemblance to the Miocene one from the Mediterranean region as well as to the Recent one living in the Mediterranean Sea.
Provenance of the Middle Permian Zhesi Formation in central Inner Mongolia, northern China: constraints from petrography, geochemistry and detrital zircon U–Pb geochronology

The exceptionally thick Middle Permian Zhesi Formation is considered key to understanding the late Palaeozoic tectonic setting of the North China–Mongolia segment of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt, yet its sedimentary environment and provenance remain ambiguous. An integrated approach incorporating detailed field observation and measurement, framework petrography, whole‐rock geochemistry and detrital zircon U–Pb geochronology is applied here to investigate this problem. The framework petrography and whole‐rock geochemical characteristics jointly suggest that the Zhesi Formation was derived primarily from felsic upper continental crust, with the source rocks undergoing intermediate weathering and short‐distance transportation. Furthermore, the source rocks were composed of granites/granitoids that occurred in a transitional recycled orogen. LA–ICP‐MS U–Pb detrital zircon data from sandstone samples show two main age groups of 480–410 and 290–265 Ma. Accordingly, we deduce that the dominant provenance of the Zhesi Formation was northerly early to mid‐Palaeozoic orogenic belt, late Palaeozoic granites/granitoids and volcanics, with a possible contribution from the Hunshandake Block. The subsiding depositional environment of this succession is in response to the Middle Permian extensional tectonic setting of the orogenic belt. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Reservoir architectures of interlava systems: a 3D photogrammetrical study of Eocene cliff sections, Faroe Islands

Abstract Following the intra-volcanic Rosebank discovery in the Faroe–Shetland Basin, NE Atlantic, there has been a need to find suitable analogues to characterize reservoir architectures, connectivities and compartmentalization of interlava clastic beds. The Faroe Islands, situated c. 160–190 km to the NW of this discovery, are an exposed remnant of the Palaeogene lava field host and the near-vertical cliff sections afford the opportunity to map lateral variations over many kilometres. This was achieved through 3D photogrammetry based on high-resolution digital photographs taken from a helicopter. The study focused on the Eocene Enni Formation, which is dominated by a mixture of simple and compound lava flows commonly separated by minor volcaniclastic beds, including the widespread Argir Beds. In general, the interlava beds are tabular shaped and <1 to c. 6 m thick. Locally they thicken in depressions formed by the wedging out or differential erosion of underlying lava flow lobes. Connectivity may be caused by the wedging out of successive lava flows leading to the lateral merging of interlava beds or more rarely be hydraulically connected via conglomeratic fills of major channels. Lateral compartmentalization may be caused by the intersection of interlava beds by dykes, lava tubes, lava-filled channels or reverse faults.
A Comparative Study of Maximum and Minimum Temperatures over Argentina: NCEP–NCAR Reanalysis versus Station Data

Abstract This paper compares surface-station temperature observations over Argentina with gridpoint analyses available in the NCEP–NCAR reanalysis dataset. The primary objective is to determine whether the maximum and minimum surface temperatures from the reanalysis can be used to compute statistics on the occurrence of extreme events. The extreme range of topography and geography of Argentina is viewed as a severe test for the reanalysis data. Good agreement, on both the daily and monthly timescales, between the station data and the reanalysis gridpoint data is found over the low-elevation regions in central and eastern Argentina. The agreement is relatively poor for summertime maximum temperatures over northern Argentina. The reanalysis data underestimate the intensity of extreme warm events over northern and southern Argentina and overestimate extreme cold events during winter over central Argentina. High-elevation areas in western Argentina have the poorest correspondence throughout the year. Thus, th.
Cyber Forensic Analysis for Operational Technology Using Graph-Based Deep Learning

The cyber attacks in Ukraine in 2015 and 2016 demonstrated the vulnerability of electrical power grids to cyber threats. They highlighted the significance of Operational Technology (OT) communication-based anomaly detection. Many anomaly detection methods are based on real-time traffic monitoring, i.e., Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) that may produce false positives and degrade the OT communication performance. Security Operations Center (SOC) needs intelligent tools to conduct forensic analysis on generated IDS alarms and identify the attack locations. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a novel, graph-based forensic analysis method for anomaly detection in power systems using OT communication network traffic throughput. It employs a hybrid deep learning model involving Graph Convolutional Long Short-Term Memory and a Convolutional Neural Network. The proposed method aids SOC with continuous OT security monitoring and post-mortem investigations. Results indicate that the proposed method is able to pinpoint the locations of cyber attacks on power grid OT networks with an AUC score above 75%.

ABSTRACT Introduction Severe acute corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has rapidly evolved from an epidemic outbreak into a pandemic affecting the whole world. Hematological parameters may help in aiding diagnosis and evaluating prognosis of the patients. Early diagnosis and recognition of cases with severe disease requiring admission in intensive care unit (ICU) may help in triaging the patients. Methods Complete blood counts (CBC) and peripheral smear examination were studied in 510 patients in ICU and nonICU settings. The findings were compared to know the association between hematological parameters and disease severity. Results Patients with age above 60 years were seen to be more severely affected. Males were affected twice more commonly than females. High Absolute neutrophil counts (ANC), low Absolute lymphocyte count (ALC), high neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR), high platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR) were significantly associated with ICU admission. Conclusion A routine investigation like CBC, if studied in a proper clinical context may help in evaluating the prognosis in patients of Covid-19 as CBC parameters in patients requiring ICU admission differ significantly from those with patients not requiring ICU admission.

ABSTRACT Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is defined as any bleeding that does not correspond with the frequency, duration or amount of blood flow of a normal menstrual cycle. It is a common reason for women of all ages to visit gynaecologist resulting in unrequired hysterectomy in developing countries. The aim of the present study was to determine the clinical spectrum and pathologies of endometrium by endometrial biopsy of patients with AUB in study population. Methods: This prospective study was carried out from September 2018 – June 2020 in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, at Shri Mahant Indiresh Hospital, Dehradun. It was done on women presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding. This study was a prospective study done on 124 patients presenting with AUB who underwent endometrial biopsy. The histopathological patterns of endometrium studied and data analysed. Results: The commonest presenting complaint in AUB patients was heavy menstrual bleeding seen in 81(65.3%) followed by irregular menstrual bleeding in 25(20.2%) cases. The predominant endometrial histopathological finding was secretory endometrium 39cases (31.45%), proliferative endometrium in 25cases (20.16%) and simple hyperplasia without atypia 29 cases (23.38%). Malignant lesions were more common in patients more than 50yrs of age and comprised of 2 cases (1.61%) of all cases. Conclusion: Histopathological examination of the endometrium showed a wide spectrum of pathological changes from normal endometrium to malignancy. It is important to confirm the underlying disorder in all cases of AUB evaluation especially in periand post-menopausal women. Accurate analysis of endometrial sampling is the key to choose ideal treatment modality for obtaining desired optimal outcome.
Mini-Symposium : Antenatal and early childhood influences on the lung development Perinatal exposure to alcohol : implications for lung development and disease

In utero alcohol exposure dramatically increases the risk of premature delivery. However, the majority of premature and term newborns exposed to alcohol remain undetected by medical caregivers. There is a desperate need for reliable and accurate biomarkers of alcohol exposure for the term and premature newborn population. The inability to identify the exposed newborn severely limits our understanding of alcohol’s pathophysiological effects on developing organs such as the lung. This chapter will review potential advancements in future biomarkers of alcohol exposure for the newborn population. We will discuss alcohol’s effects on redox homeostasis and cellular development of the neonatal lung. Finally, we will present the evidence describing in utero alcohol’s derangement of innate and adaptive immunity and risk for infectious complications in the lung. Continued investigations into the identification and understanding of the mechanisms of alcohol-induced alterations in the premature lung will advance the care of this vulnerable patient population. 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Mini-symposium : Childhood TB in 2010 Immune-based diagnostics for TB in children : what is the evidence ?

Childhood TB is difficult to diagnose, since disease tends to be paucibacillary and sputum specimens are not easy to obtain in children. Thus, blood-based immune assays are an attractive option. Systematic reviews of serological assays suggest that these tests produce highly inconsistent estimates of sensitivity and specificity, but much of the serology literature is based on adults. In children, there is insufficient evidence to recommend the use of serological tests for active TB diagnosis. Interferon-gamma release assays (IGRA) do not offer substantial improvements in sensitivity over the TST for the diagnosis of active disease. For latent TB infection, the IGRA correlates well with the exposure gradient and seems to have utility in reducing the number of children who undergo preventive therapy due to false-positive TST. Although IGRAs can be used as evidence of TB infection in children, appropriate specimen collection and microbiological confirmation of TB disease should remain a priority. 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
