Extracting Representative Images of Tourist Attractions from Flickr by Combining an Improved Cluster Method and Multiple Deep Learning Models

Extracting representative images of tourist attractions from geotagged photos is beneficial to many fields in tourist management, such as applications in touristic information systems. This task usually begins with clustering to extract tourist attractions from raw coordinates in geotagged photos. However, most existing cluster methods are limited in the accuracy and granularity of the places of interest, as well as in detecting distinct tags, due to its primary consideration of spatial relationships. After clustering, the challenge still exists for the task of extracting representative images within the geotagged base image data, because of the existence of noisy photos occupied by a large area proportion of humans and unrelated objects. In this paper, we propose a framework containing an improved cluster method and multiple neural network models to extract representative images of tourist attractions. We first propose a novel time- and user-constrained density-joinable cluster method (TU-DJ-Cluster), specific to photos with similar geotags to detect place-relevant tags. Then we merge and extend the clusters according to the similarity between pairs of tag embeddings, as trained from Word2Vec. Based on the clustering result, we filter noise images with Multilayer Perceptron and a single-shot multibox detector model, and further select representative images with the deep ranking model. We select Beijing as the study area. The quantitative and qualitative analysis, as well as the questionnaire results obtained from real-life tourists, demonstrate the effectiveness of this framework.
Seismic fragility analysis of strength eccentric structures subjected to pulse‐like ground motions

The seismic fragility of reinforced concrete (RC) frame systems considering the disadvantages of both structural eccentricities and pulse‐like earthquake effects is investigated. A total of 24,000 nonlinear time history analyses are performed using CANNY program. The influence of pulse‐like ground motion and strength eccentricity on the seismic fragility is studied quantitatively, in terms of interstorey drift, ductility, and floor rotation. The results show that the probability of reaching and exceeding a predefined damage state (Pf) is apparently higher for pulse‐like case than for non‐pulse‐like case. At a moderate eccentricity level of 0.2 and a moderate damage state (selected moderate case) with a peak ground acceleration (PGA) of 0.4 g, the Pf values of interstorey drift and ductility for pulse‐like case are 14 and 10% larger, respectively, than those for non‐pulse‐like case. The strength eccentricity also has a great effect on the structural seismic fragility. The PGA at a given probability level decreases with increasing eccentricity. For the selected moderate case, the PGAs at an exceeding probability of 50% are 0.40, 0.56, and 1.15 g for the Pf values of interstorey drift, ductility, and floor rotation, respectively. The obtained fragility curves could help to quantitatively evaluate the seismic behavior of eccentric RC frame structures subjected to pulse‐like ground motions.
A simplified approach to distinguish between different forms of urinary incontinence using a short form of urinary incontinence questionnaire – does it correlate with the videourodynamic assessment?

Hypothesis / aims of study The aim of this prospective analysis was to establish a time-economic and easily understood short questionnaire, able to distinguish between different forms of urinary incontinence, especially detrusor overactivity, stress urinary incontinence and mixed urinary incontinence (1). The overall score of the questionnaire was compared with the findings of the videourodynamic assessment.
Identifying symptom subgroups in patients with ME/CFS – relationships to functioning and quality of life

ABSTRACT Background: It is still not clear whether the diagnosis Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) constitutes one single disease entity, as diagnosis depends on clinical case definitions. The variation of symptoms across individuals indicates important differences between individuals diagnosed with ME/CFS. Also, the variation in daily functioning and quality of life measures among subgroups of symptoms is still unclear. Purpose: The present study examines the associations between symptoms in ME/CFS, and evaluates the relationships between symptom subgroups, functioning and quality of life. Methods: Data were collected from 106 adults as part of the assessment at a tertiary specialist clinic for ME/CFS. Principal component analyses (PCA) were utilized to identify symptom subgroups, and the relationships with functioning and quality of life were evaluated using bivariate correlations. Results: The PCA suggested four statistically distinct and clinically meaningful subgroups of symptoms. The latent constructs were labeled Inflammatory, Pain, Neurocognitive, and Autonomic. All symptom subgroups correlated significantly with measures of fatigue, mood, functioning and quality of life. Notably, the correlations between symptom subgroups and criteria variables (e.g. mood) varied in strength, indicating a difference in the relative importance of symptom subgroups. Conclusions: Although tentative, the results from this study support previous research and suggest that there are important symptom subgroups among individuals with ME/CFS. Furthermore, these results indicate that symptom profiles may be of importance to understand the variation between individuals in the impact of symptoms on functioning. Thus, more research is warranted to validate these findings and investigate possible differences in etiology between patient subgroups.
The Research on Teacher-Student Relationship from the Perspective of Educational Philosophy

Teacher-student relationship is the most basic interpersonal relationship in colleges. In the teaching process, creating a relaxed and enjoyable learning climate and cultivating harmonious teacher-student relationship can not only ease students’ emotional obstacles and learning anxiety, but also can promote students’ learning motivation and autonomous learning consciousness. In recent years, with the development of Pedagogy and Educational Psychology, the research on teacher-student relationship has greatly increased at home and abroad. Nevertheless, the research on how to establish, facilitate, and develop teacher-student relationship from the perspective of educational philosophy is little and not in-depth. The thesis adopted the qualitative research methods. The research samples are 86 non-English major sophomores from Taiyuan College of Modern Science and Technology. Qualitative analysis is mainly based on open questionnaires, diary, interview, and observation. The thesis is divided into five parts. The main frame is as follows: 1) The first part is literature review that stated the main theories on teacher-student relationship from different educational philosophers. 2) The second part is the methodology of this research which introduces the procedures of this study, including participants, procedures of data collection. 3) The third part is mainly about the process of establishing harmonious teacher-student relationship in and after class. 4) The fourth part is the findings from the research. 5) The last part is some implications for teachers from the view of point of educational philosophy.
A CLASSICAL REVIEW ON ARSHA (HAEMORRHOIDS/PILES): CURRENT TREATMENT STRATEGIES AND FUTURE PROSPECTS

Arsha (Piles) is an extremely common problem and it has been reported since thousands of years and its prevalence rate is highest among all anorectal disorders. Piles are unique to human beings. Nearly half of the population generally experience one haemorrhoidal episode at some point during their lives. Arsha (Haemorrhoids) is clinically an engorged condition of haemorrhoidal venous plexus along with abnormally displaced enlarged anal cushion, characterized by inflammed or prolapsed pile mass, bleeding per rectum and some discharge from anus. The term haemorrhoids is popularly used to refer for pathological varicosity of the haemorrhoidal veins due to increased pressure, is usually resulted by straining during defecation, chronic constipation or diarrhoea, pregnancy etc. In modern medical science, many procedures are described for management of haemorrhoids, of which haemorrhoidectomy is commonly preferred by surgeons, but after sometime of excision there is great possibility of reappearance of the disease. But in Ayurveda fourfold management of Arsha has been indicated viz. Bheshaj, Kshar Karma, Agnikarma and Shastra Karma according to chronicity and presentation of the disease. Among these, Bheshaj Chikitsa and Kshar Karma s show wonderful results in management of Arsha. In this review article an attempt has been made to review the studies carried out on Arsha in the department of Shalya Tantra Rishikul Campus, Uttarakhand Ayurved University Haridwar, Uttarakhand.
A Novel System for Processing User Interfaces

In this paper we introduce novel automatic and manual processing systems for a versatile graphical user interface comprising one or more N-dimensional background elements each of which is divided into one or more arbitrarilyshaped N-dimensional partitions, wherein each partition may contain one or more user interface elements and is associated with one or more sets of rules that define rendering, positioning, element placement and other relevant attributes and behaviors, wherein said rules can be specified in such a way as to enable said N-dimensional background to assume any desired arbitrary shape and to facilitate expansion to any desired arbitrary size without distortion or loss in quality. Our systems permit the efficient generation of intuitive graphical user interfaces in a wide variety of application domains.
Detection of Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism in AGPAT6 Gene, Associated with Milk Fat Content, using Tetra-Primer ARMS PCR-Based Assay, in Karan Fries Breeding Bulls

Background: The bovine AGPAT6 gene is one of the potential candidate genes governing milk fat synthesis. Objectives: Identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the targeted region of AGPAT6 gene and their effect on expected breeding values (EBV) of first lactation milk production traits viz. fat %, fat yield and 305 days milk yield in Karan Fries (KF) breeding bulls were sought. Materials and Methods: A tetra-primer ARMS PCR technique was adapted to genotype an SNP, g.36,175,805C>T located on 5’ flanking region of AGPAT6 gene. The relationship between EBV of milk production traits and polymorphic locus of AGPAT6 gene was assessed. Results: Three kinds of genotype (CC, CT, and TT) with respect to g.36,175,805C>T SNP locus were observed. The identified SNP had significant (P<0.05) influence on EBV of fat % (EBV-FP). The KF bulls with CC and CT genotype had comparatively higher EBV-FP than the bulls with the TT genotype. The substitution of “C” allele by “T” allele led to a decrease of 0.0045 % in the EBV-FP. Conclusion: The identified SNP was significantly associated with EBV-FP, thus it may be utilized as a molecular marker for developing marker-assisted selection strategy to enhance the milk fat content in KF cattle population.
Potency of several local phytogenic feed additives as antioxidant and antimicrobial sources for non-ruminant animals

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potency of several local phytogenic (Vernonia amygdalina Del., Calotropis gigantean, Syzygium oleana, Syzygium cumini, L) as antioxidant and antimicrobial sources in feed additives for non-ruminant animals. Antibiotic as feed additive has been banned since 2006 due to harmful effect of antibiotic not only for animals but for consumers. Phytogenic as suitable natural alternatives has been intensively studied and had positively effect on animal health and productivity. Five extract phytogenic that massively grow in Aceh were extracted by using maceration method with the comparison of material and ethanol solvent 1:4. Antioxidant testing by using DPPH method and antimicrobial pathogen testing (Salmonella and E. coli) by using Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method with gradient doses of extract (250 mg/mL, 500 mg/mL, 750 mg/mL), chloramphenicol as positive control and aquadest as negative control. The results of study indicated that Syzygium cumini, was the best phytogenic feed additives compared with the others feed additives. Syzygium cumini, L had antioxidant activity (IC50 19.91) and inhibition zone diameter of 4.80 and 12.78 for E.coli and Salmonella respectively with the dose of 750 mg/mL. In conclusion, all phytogenic feed additives can be utilized as feed additives for non-ruminant animals with S. cumini, L as the best phytogenic feed additives.
On the Linguistic Capacity of Real-Time Counter Automata

Counter machines have achieved a newfound relevance to the field of natural language processing (NLP): recent work suggests some strong-performing recurrent neural networks utilize their memory as counters. Thus, one potential way to understand the success of these networks is to revisit the theory of counter computation. Therefore, we study the abilities of real-time counter machines as formal grammars, focusing on formal properties that are relevant for NLP models. We first show that several variants of the counter machine converge to express the same class of formal languages. We also prove that counter languages are closed under complement, union, intersection, and many other common set operations. Next, we show that counter machines cannot evaluate boolean expressions, even though they can weakly validate their syntax. This has implications for the interpretability and evaluation of neural network systems: successfully matching syntactic patterns does not guarantee that counter memory accurately encodes compositional semantics. Finally, we consider whether counter languages are semilinear. This work makes general contributions to the theory of formal languages that are of potential interest for understanding recurrent neural networks.
Evolution and variation of 2019-novel coronavirus

Background The current outbreak caused by novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) in China has become a worldwide concern. As of 28 January 2020, there were 4631 confirmed cases and 106 deaths, and 11 countries or regions were affected. Methods We downloaded the genomes of 2019-nCoVs and similar isolates from the Global Initiative on Sharing Avian Influenza Database (GISAID and nucleotide database of the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). Lasergene 7.0 and MEGA 6.0 softwares were used to calculate genetic distances of the sequences, to construct phylogenetic trees, and to align amino acid sequences. Bayesian coalescent phylogenetic analysis, implemented in the BEAST software package, was used to calculate the molecular clock related characteristics such as the nucleotide substitution rate and the most recent common ancestor (tMRCA) of 2019-nCoVs. Results An isolate numbered EPI_ISL_403928 showed different phylogenetic trees and genetic distances of the whole length genome, the coding sequences (CDS) of ployprotein (P), spike protein (S), and nucleoprotein (N) from other 2019-nCoVs. There are 22, 4, 2 variations in P, S, and N at the level of amino acid residues. The nucleotide substitution rates from high to low are 1·05 × 10−2 (nucleotide substitutions/site/year, with 95% HPD interval being 6.27 × 10−4 to 2.72 × 10−2) for N, 5.34 × 10−3 (5.10 × 10−4, 1.28 × 10−2) for S, 1.69 × 10−3 (3.94 × 10−4, 3.60 × 10−3) for P, 1.65 × 10−3 (4.47 × 10−4, 3.24 × 10−3) for the whole genome, respectively. At this nucleotide substitution rate, the most recent common ancestor (tMRCA) of 2019-nCoVs appeared about 0.253-0.594 year before the epidemic. Conclusion Our analysis suggests that at least two different viral strains of 2019-nCoV are involved in this outbreak that might occur a few months earlier before it was officially reported.
An Examination of Neuromuscular Fatigue and Adaptations to Exercise and the Effect of Seal Oil Omega-3 Fatty Acid Supplementation in Trained and Untrained Males

Exercise performance is controlled and limited by the neuromuscular system. In response to exercise training, the neuromuscular system is able to rapidly adapt to novel exercise. However, few studies have investigated the effect of nutritional interventions on neuromuscular adaptations to exercise in trained or untrained males. Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (N-3 PUFA) are integrally involved in the development and maintenance of nerve tissue. Therefore, I hypothesize that N-3 PUFA supplementation will enhance neuromuscular adaptations to training in trained and untrained males. First, a comparison of neuromuscular fatigue from a 10 km cycling time trial between trained cyclists and untrained cyclists demonstrated that both groups showed neuromuscular fatigue proportional to their training experience. Then, two studies examined the effect of seal oil N-3 PUFA supplementation on neuromuscular adaptations to training. Untrained males performed two-weeks of sprint interval training (SIT), while trained individuals complete threeweeks of sport specific training. Seal oil N-3 PUFA supplementation did not enhance
Telesupervision Benefits for Placements: Allied Health Students’ and Supervisors’ Perceptions

Telesupervision (TS) uses Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for communication between university-based staff, clinical supervisors and students undertaking placements in the presence or absence of a clinical supervisor onsite. Despite examples of successful implementation (Carlin 2012, Chipchase et al. 2014, Dudding and Justice 2004, Hall 2013) there has been minimal uptake of TS in allied health. This study investigated students’ and clinical educators’ perceptions of the potential benefits and barriers of TS using readily accessible ICT during placements. During 2014-2015, telesupervision/telesupport was provided to a total of 54 Undergraduate and Graduate Entry Masters students from Speech Language Pathology (SLP), Occupational therapy (OT) and Physical therapy (PT) programs at one Australian and two Canadian universities and Exercise Physiology (EP) students at the Australian university. After receipt of TS, 39 students completed an online survey. Nine participating university-based clinical education coordinators (CECs) were interviewed about their experiences. Survey data were analysed using descriptive statistics and interview data were analysed using thematic analysis. Students valued regular TS contact/communication with their CEC to discuss challenges that arose during their placements. CECs believed students benefitted from the opportunities to discuss their placement experiences through TS sessions used for direct supervision and/or for complementing onsite supervision. Students used TS sessions to debrief and reflect on their placement experiences. CECs gained a better understanding of the students’ placement experiences. TS has the potential to develop greater connection between students and CECs and enhance student and supervisor experience of clinical education.
A document enrichment approach to facilitate reading comprehension

Education plays an important role in building vocabulary knowledge for individual learners and their reading comprehension skills in understanding semantically related texts. For this reason, it is assumed that university students have sufficient vocabulary and reading skills. However, there is evidence that many university students struggle to understand their course content. In the area of text wikification, facilitating the reading comprehension process concentrates on generating hypertexts. Such hypertexts link technical terms found in document contents to Wikipedia. This leads students away from the documents thereby, disrupting the reading comprehension process. This study was based on the need of facilitating reading comprehension without linking away from the content of documents read by university students. A document enrichment approach (TermPedia) was used for this purpose. TermPedia facilitates reading comprehension by providing in-text definitions and background information for technical terms. It integrates four algorithms based on human language technologies: term prediction, term sense disambiguation, term definition and hypertext generation. The algorithms where tested for their performance and TermPedia was evaluated. Test results indicated that the algorithms have a strong potential in providing contextually relevant information for technical terms. Evaluation results show that TermPedia can be useful and usable in facilitating reading comprehension.
Learning manual handling without direct supervision or support: a case study of home care workers

Abstract How home care workers (HCWs) adapt their classroom training to their workplaces is central to their own safety and that of their care recipients. A case study approach was adopted for this inquiry into HCW training in Australia, where new workers were directly observed and interviewed in their workplaces following classroom training. Findings from the study advance four contributions: (a) learning is person-dependent, (b) artefacts in the form of written materials afford a valuable form of learning support; (c) opportunities for these workers to meet, share and refresh their knowledge are important for further development of occupational capacities; and (d) more organisational support for such socially isolated workers’ learning is needed.
Haloperidol-induced impairment on working memory capacity affecting long term memory performance: the binding hypothesis

The dopaminergic system is implicated in several cognitive processes including memory, attention and executive functions. This study was a double-blind, placebo-randomized trial designed to investigate the effect of dopamine D2 receptor blockade on episodic and working memory and particularly the relationship between executive functions, working memory capacity and long-term memory (LTM). Subjects ingested a single oral dose (4 mg) of haloperidol, a dopamine D2 receptor antagonist or placebo. Multiple linear regression using generalized linear models and a generalized estimating equation were used for statistical analyses. The results demonstrated that haloperidol impaired episodic memory (free recall of words and prose recall), working memory capacity-WMC (operation span task-OSPAN) and highly demanding executive functions (random number generation - RNG). In addition, it demonstrated that despite the large impairment in the RNG task performance in the haloperidol group, it did not affect episodic memory. The OSPAN task is predictive of episodic memory impairment, suggesting that memory impairments produced by haloperidol could be due in part to the impairment of WMC. As WMC partly relies on the appropriate functioning of the medial temporal lobe, probably the haloperidol-induced impairment on episodic memory through the decrease in the performance of WMC may depend on the activation of this area of the brain. The present study is relevant because it provides data on dopaminergic modulation of memory systems; suggesting that the major cause of deficits in episodic memory may be due to hippocampal function and WMC impairments, the latter more specifically with regard to controlled search and binding.
