A New Solution to Profit Based Unit Commitment Problem Considering PEVs/BEVs and Renewable Energy Sources

Daily load demand for industrial, residential and commercial sectors are changing day by day. Also, inclusion of e-mobility has totally effected the operations of realistic power sector. Hence, to meet this time varying load demand with minimum production cost is very challenging. The proposed research work focuses on the mathematical formulation of profit based unit commitment problem of realistic power system considering the impact of battery electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles and plug in electric vehicles and its solution using Intensify Harris Hawks Optimizer (IHHO). The coordination of plants with each other is named as Unit commitment of plants in which the most economical patterns of the generating station is taken so as to gain low production cost with higher reliability. But with the increase in industrialization has affected the environment badly so to maintain the balance between the generation and environment a new thinking of generating low cost power with high reliability by causing less harm to environment i.e. less emission of flue gases is adopted by considering renewable energy sources.
effectR: An expandable R package to predict candidate effectors

Effectors are by one definition small, secreted proteins that facilitate infection of host plants by all major groups of plant pathogens. Effector protein identification in oomycetes relies on identification of open reading frames with certain amino acid motifs among additional minor criteria. To date, identification of effectors relies on custom scripts to identify motifs in candidate open reading frames. Here, we developed the R package effectR that provides a convenient tool for rapid prediction of effectors in oomycete genomes, or with custom scripts for any genome, in a reproducible way. The effectR package relies on a combination of regular expressions statements and hidden Markov model approaches to predict candidate RxLR and CRN effectors. Other custom motifs for novel effectors can easily be implemented and added to package updates. The effectR package has been validated with published oomycete genomes. This package provides a convenient tool for reproducible identification of candidate effectors in oomycete genomes.
Attachment style and emotion dysregulation as serial mediators of betrayal trauma experiences and level of satisfaction in romantic relationships

Betrayal trauma theory asserts that traumas imposed by trusted individuals are more detrimental than those traumas imposed by unknown individuals or nature, because of the level of mistrust and insecurity generated by these events in survivors. As such, individuals experiencing betrayal traumas are more likely to experience post-event stress symptoms, such as insecurity in their romantic relationships and difficulties with regulating their emotions. Empirical research demonstrates that those with a history of interpersonal trauma, insecure attachment styles, and difficulties with emotion regulation experience greater degrees of dissatisfaction with their adult romantic relationships. The purpose of my study was to examine how insecure attachment styles and emotion dysregulation serially mediate the direct relation between betrayal trauma experiences and relationship satisfaction. Results indicated that, for participants endorsing higher levels of anxious attachment, either a lack of emotional awareness or lack of emotional clarity serially mediated the direct relation between betrayal trauma experiences and relationship satisfaction. As well, for participants endorsing higher levels of avoidant attachment, a lack of emotional clarity serially mediated the direct relation between betrayal trauma experiences and relationship satisfaction. Implications for future research concerning the role of attachment style and emotion regulation in the context of betrayal trauma history and romantic relationship satisfaction, as well as implications for clinical work in this area, are discussed.
THE CHALLENGES EXPERIENCED BY ADOLESCENT AND PARENTS IN DUAL-INCOME FAMILY: A QUALITATIVE STUDY

The number of dual-earning family is growing in the current society where most of the both parents are working at the same time to seek for financial freedom. Therefore, they are struggling in balancing between work and family. This qualitative study with phenomenology research design conducted to explore the phenomena of dual-income parents on challenges faced by dual-earning parents. Besides that, this study also investigates the impact of dual-earning families on adolescents. Total five adolescents and working parents from Kuala Lumpur and Selangor were interviewed using semi-structured questions and the collected data was analysed using thematic analysis. The results show that the dual-income parents experiencing various challenges such as lack of interactions, stress, parenting role and imbalance role in their daily live. Whereas, a major challenge of adolescents in dual-income family is lack of interactions with parents where it affects adolescents to raise problems of communications with the parents. The current study has theoretically implied on raising awareness to dual-income parents to the challenges faced by adolescents and practically provide an overview of challenges faced by dual-income parents for the adolescent’s children from dual-income family background. Future studies could figure out possible coping strategies and looks into expectations of dual-income family members to help dual-income families in Malaysia tackle current challenges.
Comparative cytogenetic analyses in Ancistrus species (Siluriformes: Loricariidae)

ABSTRACT Ancistrus is a specious genus of armored catfishes that has been extensively used for cytogenetic studies in the last 17 years. A comparison of the extensive karyotypic plasticity within this genus is presented with new cytogenetic analysis for Ancistrus cf. multispinis and Ancistrus aguaboensis. This study aims to improve our understanding of chromosomal evolution associated with changes in the diploid number (2n) and the dispersion of ribosomal DNAs (rDNAs) within Ancistrus. Ancistrus cf. multispinis and A. aguaboensis exhibit 2n of 52 and 50 chromosomes, respectively. Given that A. cf. multispinis shares a 2n = 52 also found in Pterygoplichthyini, the sister group for Ancistrini, a Robertsonian (Rb) fusion event is proposed for the 2n reduction in A. aguaboensis. 5S rDNAs pseudogenes sites have already been associated with Rb fusion in Ancistrus and our analysis suggests that the 2n reduction in A. aguaboensis was triggered by double strand breaks (DSBs) and chromosomal rearrangements at 5S rDNA sites. The presence of evolutionary breakpoint regions (EBRs) into rDNA cluster is proposed to explain part of the Rb fusion in Ancistrus. Cytogenetic data presented extends the diversity already documented in Ancistrus to further understand the role of chromosomal rearrangements in the diversification of Ancistrini.
Inventory of ferns and lycophytes within forest fragments of Araucaria in southern Brazil

Abstract: The Araucaria Forest is a unique plant formation, practically restricted to the Atlantic Forest biome, in the South and Southeast of Brazil. It is immensely fragmented and its area is reduced to a minimum fraction, from 13 to 2% of the original area, due to intense anthropic exploitation. Our study evaluated the richness and floristic composition of ferns and lycophytes within three Araucaria forest fragments, in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. For the floristic inventory, a parcel of 1 ha (100x100m) was demarcated inside three fragments, which were classified by size: large (246 ha - H1LF), medium (57 ha - H2MF) and small (5.2 ha - H3SF). Occurring species life forms and preferential substrates up to 4 meters above ground were recorded. In total, 55 species were catalogued, only two of which were lycophytes, distributed in 32 genera and 17 families. Considering the area of fragments, the recorded species richness has decreased, presenting greater numbers in H1LF (48), followed by H2MF (33), and H3SF (29). In the three sites, terrestrial substrate and the hemicryptophyte species life form predominated. We observed that one hectare of a larger forest fragment presented 65% more species than that of a smaller one, considering that the smaller fragment total area represents only 2% of the larger forest's area. On the other hand, one hectare of the smaller fragment contributed 17% to fern and lycophyte species conservation occurring in Brazilian Araucaria Forests, and 8% to the state of Rio Grande do Sul's total richness. The diverse heterogeneity and species composition grants floristic identity to each of the studied forest interiors. Our results highlight the need to include the botanical parameters here analyzed in management, conservation degree evaluation, and maintenance of Araucaria Forests plant biodiversity.
A Novel Control Approach for Flight-Stability of Fixed-Wing UAV Formation With Wind Field

This article addressed the flight-stability of the closed-loop system for a three fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) formation flight with wind field. A novel control strategy is presented to resist the influence of the wind field and then achieve a precise strike on the ground targets in the process of UAV air-to-ground strike mission. It is theoretically proved that the proposed controller system can be asymptotically stabilized. Both the dynamic response and steady-state error can converge to zero, respectively. The main contribution of this article is to establish a theoretical framework for designing an integrated controller to ensure that the UAVs precisely attack ground targets by adjusting the relevant parameters of the designed controller. The integrated controller we designed can control the consensus of the velocity for the UAV formation, and the distance between any two UAVs in three-dimensional space remains unchanged so that the UAV formation keeps a fixed geometry in case of decoupling. The effectiveness of the proposed controller is fully proved by a three fixed-wing UAVs formation flight. The simulation results show that the integrated control method integrates the advantages of the robust control with uncertain factors and the proportion-integration-differentiation control with rapid response.

The “tolerant chimpanzee”—towards the costs and benefits of sociality in female bonobos

Humans share an extraordinary degree of sociality with other primates, calling for comparative work into the evolutionary drivers of the variation in social engagement observed between species. Of particular interest is the contrast between the chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) and bonobo (Pan paniscus), the latter exhibiting increased female gregariousness, more tolerant relationships, and elaborate behavioral adaptations for conflict resolution. Here, we test predictions from 3 socioecological hypotheses regarding the evolution of these traits using data on wild bonobos at LuiKotale, Democratic Republic of Congo. Focusing on the behavior of co-feeding females and controlling for variation in characteristics of the feeding patch, food intake rate moderately increased while feeding effort decreased with female dominance rank, indicating that females engaged in competitive exclusion from high-quality food resources. However, these rank effects did not translate into variation in energy balance, as measured from urinary C-peptide levels. Instead, energy balance varied independent of female rank with the proportion of fruit in the diet. Together with the observation that females join forces in conflicts with males, our results support the hypothesis that predicts that females trade off feeding opportunities for safety against male aggression. The key to a full understanding of variation in social structure may be an integrated view of cooperation and competition over access to the key resources food and mates, both within and between the sexes.
Resistance detection of blackjack to ALS inhibitors by in vitro plant growth method

Background: The resistance of weeds to herbicides is a problem that has been increasingly studied because of its great importance in agriculture and rapid growth of this phenomenon worldwide. The quick detection of resistant plants is extremely important for resistance management. Weed resistance to herbicides can be detected through field, greenhouse and laboratory tests. A fast way of detecting resistance is using tissue culture method, where is possible to use resistant plant clones and obtain results faster than whole-plant method in greenhouse. Objective: The aims of the research were to detect the resistance of blackjack to herbicides inhibitors of the acetolactate synthase (ALS), addition in vitro cultivation; determine the herbicide concentration of imazethapyr to 95% control of the susceptible plant population; evaluate explants growth; and, determine the herbicide concentration added to the culture medium where is possible to distinguish a resistant from a susceptible plant. Methods: Experiments were carried out in greenhouse and tissue culture laboratory. Screening was performed to select resistant and susceptible biotypes, tests for specie establishment and dose response curves in vitro were made. Results: The herbicide concentration added to the culture medium that provided 95% susceptible biotype control and efficiently differentiated susceptible biotype from resistant one was 0. 6μM of imazethapyr. Conclusions: This method helps recommendations of weed management and provides a quick decision to alternative control of this specie, thus avoiding major damage to the crops.
Comparing Convolutional Neural Network and Support Vector Machine for Analyzing Anxiety Symptoms from Speech of Different Ethnicities

Anxiety is a natural response of a person’s body to stress, but if a person experiences excessive anxiety on a regular basis, it could develop into a mental condition. In this study, two algorithms were utilized and compared in order to analyze anxiety symptoms from speech from a male gender. The audio database that was utilized for this study was the CREMA-D database and selected 1,152 male audio files with emotions that are related to anxiety, which were, Anger, Fear, Sad, and Disgusted. Audio pre-processing techniques were done to the audio files in order to improve the audio quality, as well as feature extraction techniques in order to obtain better accuracy from the models. The algorithms used in this study for recognizing anxiety symptoms were the SVM model and the Convolutional Neural Network. The SVM and CNN models performed well on the dataset, with accuracy scores of 62 percent and 78.1 percent, respectively, but it can be concluded that the CNN model outperformed the SVM model. For CNN, we were able to transform the audio datasets into pictures of heat maps of each audio file. It was then separated into two folders in an 80:20 ratio. While for the SVM, the researchers used the audio files themselves. The researchers used Python and BandLab as tools for the research.
Comparative Insilco physiochemical and phylogenetic analysis of Insulin like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R) in domestic animals

Insulin like growth factor 1receptors (IGF-1R) are the proteins which are expressed on the cell surface of almost all tissues in human as well as domestic animals with major involvement in growth, cancer, aging, production and in early embryonic development. Due to above importance, this protein needs to be characterized both in physiochemical and phylogenetically for further exploration in livestock research. In this study, the IGF1R amino acid sequences of selected domestic animals are retrieved from UniProt database and various physiochemical parameters were compared through ProtParam insilco tool. The multiple sequence alignment (MSA) and phylogenetic analysis was performed through Clustal omega and Molecular evolutionary genetics analysis (MEGA) application platform respectively. It was found that this protein is an unstable, hydrophilic in all domestic animals with amino acids varied from 1307 to 1412 in number. The phylogenetic analysis showed that highest time of divergence occurs in killer whale and rabbit, but least time of divergence occurs between goat and bovine. So this study will provide a better platform for the development of suitable anticancer therapeutics in domestic animals in nearest future as IGF-1R is implicated in several cancers, including breast, prostate, and lung cancers.
Population Dynamics of Rubber Tree Mites

Calacarus heveae is considered the most common pest mite in rubber tree crops in Southeast and Midwest Brazil. We evaluated the population dynamics of mites in GT 1, PB 235, PR 255 and RRIM 600 rubber tree clones from crops in the Goiás State, Brazil. We sampled leaves between June 2013 and June 2014 in 10 trees for each rubber tree clone. Calacarus heveae and Tenuipalpus heveae populations were counted in four 1 cm2-areas distributed on each middle leaflet sampled, whereas all other mites were found on lateral leaflets. Calacarus heveae reached a population peak between March and May 2014. PR 255 and RRIM 600 sheltered the densest population of C. heveae. We sampled six predatory mite species, highlighting Euseius citrifolius. GT 1 and PB 235 had higher abundance of predatory mites. This is the first study carried out on the population dynamics of phytophagous mites associated with rubber trees in the state of Goiás.
MOLT PATTERNS AND SEXING AND AGING CRITERIA FOR TEN SPECIES OF HIGH ELEVATION LANDBIRDS FROM SOUTHEASTERN PERU

Abstract ∙ Knowledge of molt patterns and their resulting plumages is useful for aging and sexing birds and, in mono‐ chromatic species, morphometric measurements can help to discern males from females. However, these data are largely undescribed for the majority of the world’s bird species, especially in the tropics. We sought to classify the molt strategy for 10 species of Neotropical passerines during their breeding seasons and considered whether a combination of wing chord, tail length and mass could be used to determine their sex. We used banding data from three years of mark‐recapture study at Wayqecha Biological Station (2900 m a.s.l.) along the east slope of the Andes in southeastern Peru to characterize molt and estimate morphological measurements. Each of the species exhibited a complete definitive prebasic molt and either a partial (nine species) or partial‐incomplete (one species) preformative molt, which we interpreted to be consistent with a complex basic molt strategy. For five of the 10 species, we found that wing, tail, and body mass measurements were useful in distinguishing between males and females. This study contributes to our understanding of tropical bird molt by providing previously undescribed aging and sexing criteria for some tropical landbirds common to high elevations of southern Peru.Resumen ∙ Patrones de muda y criterios para categorizar sexo y edad en diez especies de aves altoandinas en el sureste de Perú Los patrones de muda en la mayoría de las aves Neotropicales son poco conocidos y en especial se desconoce si las medidas corporales pueden ser usadas para determinar el sexo en especies sin dimorfismo sexual. En este trabajo clasificamos la estrategia de muda para 10 especies de paserinos Neotropicales y también exploramos si una combi‐ nación de medidas de longitud del ala, longitud de la cola y masa corporal pueden ser usadas para la determinación del sexo. Usamos datos de anillamiento de tres años de un estudio de recaptura en la Estación Biológica Wayqecha (2900 m s.n.m.) en el flanco oriental de los Andes al sureste de Perú. Cada especie exhibió una estrategia básica compleja de muda con una muda prebásica definitiva compleja, y una muda preformativa parcial (nueve especies) o parcial‐incompleta (uno especie). Para cinco de cada 10 especies, la combinación de medidas de la longitud del ala, la cola, y la masa corporal sirvieron para distinguir entre machos y hembras. Este estudio contribuye a la creciente literatura sobre los patrones de muda en aves tropicales y provee herramientas para clasificar la edad y el sexo de aves con plumaje sexualmente monocromático.
Roughness Enhanced Charge Injection and Field Dependent Conduction Mechanisms for Bipolar Charge Transport Models

Extruded HVDC cable systems contain a multitude of different interface types. Physical interfaces are introduced on-site when the outer semi-conductive layer is removed prior to installing a pre-molded joint or stress-cone onto the cable end. Such interfaces are characterized by surface roughness, which can locally enhance electric field and stimulate charge injection at microscale asperities. This work studies the impact of surface roughness on charge injection by performing space charge measurements on cable peelings and evaluating the observed charge evolution with a bipolar charge model. The behavior during both polarization and depolarization stages was investigated. A unique set of conduction and injection parameters is suggested allowing for realistic interpretation of charge accumulation and decay observed in the measurements.
Correlation Between HCV Infection and Creatinine Level in Thalassemia Patents

The current study aimed to fine the relationship between hepatitis C virus (HCV), and kidney impairment in thalassemia patient. This retrospective case-control study include sample size total number 102 patients ranged between 15 and 30 years were divided into two groups: first, 51patients suffering from kidney impairment - the kidney impairment detected by creatinine level in serum and second, 51-patient without kidney impairment as a control group. Both group monitored HCV infection. The patient attended to AL-Zahra hospital (Najaf) thalassemia department from January to Aug 2018. Biochemical test use for detection of creatinine, serological test use for detection HCV. The SPSS program version 24 uses for data analysis the results. When observed the results in both groups the percentage of HCV in the first group (with abnormal creatinine level) is higher than in the second group (with normal creatinine level). 32/51 (62, 7%) and 19/51(37, 2%) respectively. A high level of HCV in a group with kidney defect indicates for viral effect on the normal kidney function, kidney defect patient of thalassemia patient has a higher susceptibility to HCV infection.
