Nutrient Management and Effects of Netting on Growth and Yield of Indian Spinach (Basella alba)

Best horticulture management has been practiced to reduce the amount of inorganic fertilizer in connection with net (mosquito net) for higher production of Indian spinach. Excessive use of chemical fertilizers in agriculture promoted negative effect on the environment and human health in Bangladesh. The experiment was conducted at the Horticulture Farm of Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), Mymensingh during the period February to May 2016. Two factor experiments were conducted on nettings: control (N0), Netting (N1) and different fertilizers: control (F0), Vermicompost 10 t/ha (F1), Vermicompost 15 t/ha (F2), 2/3rdof F2+ 1/3rdof F4 (F3), Inorganic fertilizer (F4). Combination of mosquito net and combined of organic and inorganic fertilizers (N1F3) gave the significantly higher growth and yield of Indian spinach compared to other treatment combination. The maximum vine length (77.71 cm), after 45 days after sowing was found from N1F3 which was 72% higher compared to control. The highest yield of Indian spinach was 38.67 t/ha from N1F3 which was 80% higher compared to control. The treatment combination of N1F3 provided maximum leaf numbers per plant, leaf length.
Transcriptional Regulatory Pattern in Yeast Revealed through Expression Quantitative Trait Locus Mapping

ZOU, WEI. Transcriptional Regulatory Patterns in Yeast Revealed through Expression Quantitative Trait Locus Mapping. (Under the direction of Dr. Zhao-Bang Zeng.) Expression Quantitative Trait Locus (eQTL) mapping combines large scale mRNA expression analysis and classical quantitative genetics methods to find the correlated variation between genome and transcriptome. We applied a sequential genome scan method to build genetic architectures for expression traits in a published yeast eQTL mapping data set. We compared mapping results from several variants of the method. We used the threshold controlling the genome-wise type I error rate to declare eQTLs, and used False Discovery Rate (FDR) to assess the overall error rate in the whole mapping study. In this mapping population, expression traits tend to be mapped onto its own sequence and avoid being mapped onto their transcriptional factors. Sequence variations around transcriptional factors are not preferentially associated with transcript abundance variation of their regulatory target genes, though the expression traits of transcriptional factors and their targets tend to have overlapping eQTL regions. Indirect trans-regulation mechanisms play a significant role in order to connect trans-acting eQTLs with certain biological pathways. We have developed a graphical tool to visualize the myriad relationships suggested by eQTL analysis. The tool allows dynamical superimposition of biological annotation onto declared eQTLs to find the matching cases between statistical patterns inferred from this mapping population and results of biological investigation on this organism. Finally, we proposed a probabilistic way of combining statistical patterns with biological annotations based on Bayes’ Theorem. The resulting posterior probability that a gene in an eQTL causes the trait variation can be used to prioritize genes in an eQTL.

Blur‐Invariant Feature Descriptor Using Multidirectional Integral Projection

Feature detection and description are key ingredients of common image processing and computer vision applications. Most existing algorithms focus on robust feature matching under challenging conditions, such as in‐plane rotations and scale changes. Consequently, they usually fail when the scene is blurred by camera shake or an object's motion. To solve this problem, we propose a new feature description algorithm that is robust to image blur and significantly improves the feature matching performance. The proposed algorithm builds a feature descriptor by considering the integral projection along four angular directions (0°, 45°, 90°, and 135°) and by combining four projection vectors into a single high‐dimensional vector. Intensive experiment shows that the proposed descriptor outperforms existing descriptors for different types of blur caused by linear motion, nonlinear motion, and defocus. Furthermore, the proposed descriptor is robust to intensity changes and image rotation.

Falls in Parkinson Disease: The Relevance of Short Steps

Falls are a major risk for Parkinson Disease (PD) patients. Between 2010- 2011 we followed 404 PD patients, 204 of whom, 50.5%, fell. We compared non fallers and fallers. Seventy one of the fallers, 35%, fell more than once. Fallers were significantly older, 72.6 + 5.8 versus 66.9 + 6.1 years, had PD significantly longer 9.3 + 3.4 versus 5.4 + 2.2 years. Fallers walked with significantly shorter steps: 0.45 + 0.09 versus 0.60 + 0.13 meters. Fallers walked with significantly slower steps 0.75 + 0.21 versus 0.90 + 0.31 meters/second. Fallers were significantly more likely to have freezing of gait. Between 2011- 2012 we followed 401 PD patients, 205 of whom, 51.0% fell. Of these patients 161 fell once and 44 fell more than once (recurrent fallers). We compared single fallers and recurrent fallers. Recurrent fallers had PD significantly longer, 12.6 + 7.0 versus 5.9 + 4.5 years. They walked with significantly shorter steps 0.52 + 0.12 meters versus 0.31 + 0.12 meters. They walked significantly slower: 0.85 + 0.27 meters/second versus 0.51 + 0.14 meters/second. Freezing of gait was significantly more common in recurrent fallers. The significance of the shorter step in relationship to falling is discussed.
The Role of Interpretive Evaluation in Engineering Information Systems Requirements

The requirements for complex systems inevitably change continuously. Any successful software or information systems engineering approach needs to observe this simple fact. This paper argues for the critical importance of formative evaluation activities in any non-sequential, or learning-based RE process. We argue that evaluation with its focus on understanding and interpreting the evaluation results, is distinct from measurement. We also outline how evaluation activities can be performed from an interpretivist perspective, in a way that systematically informs formative evaluation activities during gradual, experimental requirements engineering activities.
Home Environmental Hazards Among Community‐Dwelling Elderly in Taiwan

&NA; The purposes of this study were to determine the prevalence and variables that best predict home environmental hazards among the community‐dwelling elderly in Taiwan. An assessment was made of the home environments of 1212 people aged 65 years and older, chosen by cluster sampling from registered households in northern Taiwan. Environmental hazards were found in the majority of homes (60.4%) where community‐dwelling elderly people lived. The bathroom was the most common site for environmental hazards. Significant predictors of potential home environmental hazards were: living in an urban area (OR = 4.36, 95% confidence interval (CI = 3.29, 5.76), poor awareness of one's health status (OR = 1.86, 95% CI = 1.31, 2.64), family dysfunction (OR = 1.77, 95% CI = 1.21, 2.59), fear of falling (OR = 1.65, 95% CI = 1.19, 2.28), being older (≥ 75 years, OR = 1.47, 95% CI = 1.11, 1.96), poor gait (OR = 10.76, 95% CI = 4.48, 25.84) and poor balance (OR = 3.03, 95% CI = 1.14, 8.09). Most elderly persons do not live in a risk‐free home environment. The recognition and removal of environmental hazards is imperative to the well‐being of the elderly.
New detection schemes for transmit diversity with no channel estimation

We present two new detection methods for the simple transmit diversity scheme proposed by Alamouti (see IEEE Journal on Selected Areas of Communications, Special Issue on Signal Processing for Wireless Communications, 1998). The new detection schemes require no channel state information at either the transmitter or the receiver. Using 2 transmit antennas and 1 receive antenna, the scheme provides a diversity order of two. Simulations have been included to show that the scheme has almost a 3 dB penalty compared to coherent detection.

ON SOME ROMANIAN TEXT SUMMARIZATION CONTRIBUTIONS

ing”. A summary of the methods used by the mentioned authors for text summarization can be found in Nistor and Roman (1980). opposed to them, the deeper approaches “usually assume at least a sentential semantics level of representation”. As noted in Mani (2001), “they produce abstracts, and the synthesis phase here usually involves natural language generation from a semantic or discourse level representation”. 3 On Some Romanian Text Summarization Contributions 509 An attempt to parallelize their text summarization techniques takes place in (Roman 1987), at a moment in time when parallel computing was still in its childhood. For now let us note the importance of the two Romanian researchers having performed text summarization tests for the Romanian language since the early 70’s. These contributions should stimulate current work in the field, both on the part of computer scientists and on that of the linguists, the latter being the only ones truly qualified to evaluate the results.
Radar data smoothing filter study

The accuracy of the current Wallops Flight Facility (WFF) data smoothing techniques for a variety of radars and payloads is examined. Alternative data reduction techniques are given and recommendations are made for improving radar data processing at WFF. A data adaptive algorithm, based on Kalman filtering and smoothing techniques, is also developed for estimating payload trajectories above the atmosphere from noisy time varying radar data. This algorithm is tested and verified using radar tracking data from WFF.
Document Categorization using Data Mining Techniques

Technical articles published worldwide have most of similarity in contents and repeated relevant information. Thus reading these related articles to get the recent research developments is time-consuming, unnecessary, irrelevant, cumbersome and impossible. To solve above problems an innovative system is developed which summarizes these articles using various Data Mining strategies. The system is named ‘Optimized Summary System (OSS)’ consisting three models as ‘Research Relevant Novel’ (RRN) terms identification, category generation and document optimization through ‘Maximal Marginal Relevance’ (MMR). OSS gives short condensed and accurate summarized categorical contents presenting innovative authentic information from multiple relevant technical articles.
A new method of tracking talker location for microphone arrays in near field

Speech recognisers are very sensitive to degradation of the acoustical environment. In order to limit the influence of noise, reverberation and interference, several strategies can be applied. A new method for tracking location (i.e., range and bearing) of a single talker of interest for microphone arrays in the very near field (the range of the talker is less than or nearly equal to the array length) is proposed. In the proposed method, an array is divided into two subarrays, focusing transformations only for the talker are used, and an iteration update is proceeded. The proposed method is suitable for cases of low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) or/and strong interfering signals (even it is stronger than the talker's signal). Computer simulations are given to support the proposed method.
Topic Detection IN Twitter with Data Mining

: Twitter is a user-generated content system that allows its users to share short text messages with 140 characters which called Tweets. Detecting topics from the large amount of tweets can help to facilitate many downstream application of intelligent computing. Detecting topic from large twitter data can be used for natural disaster warning, user opinion assessment and traffic prediction etc. For detecting coherent topics from tweeter dataset, many techniques are proposed most of which are using LDA with some modifications. LDA is more ML (machine learning), tweeter dataset is more language oriented. So we have used NLP for pre-processing, and sentiment analysis. Performing LDA will be more time consuming then sentiment analysis.
Plan national Alzheimer 2008-2012 - Mesure 34 Mise en place du recueil épidémiologique national et premières tendances

La mesure 34 du Plan de lutte contre la maladie d'Alzheimer (MA) et les maladies apparentees a pour objectif la creation au niveau national d'un systeme de recueil d'activite et de suivi epidemiologique au sein des consultations specialisees (Consultations memoire, CM ; Centres memoires de ressources et de recherche, CMRR ; specialistes liberaux). Cet article a pour objectif de decrire la mise en place du systeme et de presenter des informations sur l'ensemble des donnees transmises par les centres (CM, CMRR et specialistes liberaux) entre le 1 er janvier 2010 et le 30 avril 2010. En effet, chacun des centres doit transferer a la Banque nationale Alzheimer (BNA) pour chaque patient, un dossier informatique de variables qui representent le Corpus d'information minimum Alzheimer (CIMA). La mise en place de la BNA a permis de regrouper les donnees d'activite de 43% des centres francais en quatre mois. A terme, la BNA permettra de disposer de donnees longitudinales pour des exploitations ponctuelles ou thematiques et ainsi d'amener une reflexion eclairee sur les moyens a mettre en œuvre pour repondre au mieux aux besoins de la population sur chaque territoire et en particulier de mieux dimensionner l'offre de soins specialisee "memoire" a travers chaque schema regional d'organisation sanitaire. Les centres memoires, en participant ainsi a la BNA, valorisent leur activite clinique et permettent de faire progresser la connaissance epidemiologique et la recherche medicale dans le domaine tres preoccupant de la Maladie d'Alzheimer et des demences apparentees.

Data Centers Service Restoration Based on Distributed Agents Decision

The availability of cloud services is a critical factor for service providers because it is necessary to comply with the service level agreement (SLA) even in the event of failure. This paper proposes a strategy that uses distributed agents to choose the link with the best throughput from a faulty Data Center to an operational one. To accomplish this goal, we propose a methodology based on the analysis of network parameters (Delay and Jitter) to measure the impact of the over the time to transfer a bulk of data. Besides, we provide an algorithm that measures the RTT and the Throughput and, based on them, helping in decision-making and selecting the link with the best throughput. The agents' decision-making process is to be conducted in a distributed way using the software Apache Kafka, a consolidated open source distributed streaming platform.
A model‐driven framework to enhance the consistency of logical integrity constraints: Introducing integrity regression testing

Although the importance of models continuously grows in software development, common development approaches are less able to integrate the automatic management of model integrity into the development process. These critically important constraints may ensure the coherence of models in the evolution process to prevent manipulations that could violate defined constraints on a model. This paper proposes an integrity framework in the context of model‐driven architecture to achieve sufficient structural code coverage at a higher program representation level than machine code. Our framework offers to propagate the modifications from a platform‐independent specification to the corresponding test template model while keeping the consistency and integrity constraints after system evolution. To examine the efficiency of the proposed framework, a quantitative analysis plan is evaluated based on two experimental case studies. In addition, we propose coverage criteria for integrity regression testing (IRT), derived from logic coverage criteria that apply different conceptual levels of testing for the formulation of integrity requirements. The defined criteria for IRT reduce the inherent complexity and cost of verifying complex design changes in regression testing while keeping the fault detection capability with respect to the changes. The framework aims to keep pace with IRT in a formal way. The framework can solve a number of restricted outlooks in model integrity and some limiting factors of incremental maintenance and retesting. The framework satisfies several valuable quality attributes in software testing, such as safety percentage, precision, abstract fault detection performance measurable coverage level, and generality.
