5. Development of OHWR System for Malayalam

About the Scripts Recognition of online handwriting is a critical component for enabling computing and in-formation access in Indian languages, primarily because they do not lend well to keyboard based input. In addition, mobile devices, which have become extremely popular in our coun-try, have limited space to accommodate keyboards, which makes penbased input even more compelling. However, reliable handwriting recognizers are available only for English and a few east asian languages such as Chinese and Korean, and efforts for development of such technologies for Indian languages have been limited in the past.
High-Resolution Multinuclear NMR Structural Study of Binary Aluminosilicate and Other Related Glasses

The structure of homogeneous binary SiO2−Al2O3 glasses with 0.4 to up to 12.0 wt % Al2O3 have been studied using high-resolution 27Al, 17O, and 29Si NMR spectroscopic techniques. All glasses are found to contain a mixture of 4-, 5-, and 6-fold coordinated Al sites (AlIV, AlV, and AlVI). The relative proportions of these sites are strongly dependent on composition with AlIV (AlV) being most dominant in glasses with <1 wt % (≥7 wt %) Al2O3. On the other hand, no significant dependence of Al speciation on fictive temperature is observed. The coordination polyhedra of a significant fraction of the AlVI sites in these glasses are found to be unusually distorted, similar to that in the case of crystalline Al2SiO5 polymorphs. The 17O NMR spectra show the presence of three types of oxygen sites, Si−O−AlV, Si−O−AlIV, and Si−O−Si, in these glasses. The 29Si MAS NMR spectra corroborate these results and reveal the presence of Q4 sites with and without Al next-nearest neighbors. It is hypothesized that the tetrahedra.
A STUDY ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HOUSE PRICE INDEX AND ITS DETERMINANTS IN MALAYSIA

In Malaysia, House Price is considered high at a certain part of the country causing the lower and middle groups unable to purchase a house. This research examines the long-run relationship and causality effect between House Price Index and determinants of House Price Index. The data was obtained from Valuation and Property Services Department (JPPH), Department of Statistics Malaysia, and Bank Negara. The data was collected over 10 years from 2010 to the first quarter of 2019. Johansen Cointegration Test and Granger Causality Test are applied in determining the long-run relationship and causality effect respectively. The general finding of this study is that the House Price Index shows an upward trend for the past nine years but slightly drop in the first quarter of 2019. This study has found that there is a long-run relationship between the House Price Index and the determinants which are Gross Domestic Product, Interest Rate, Inflation Rate, Population, and Unemployment Rate. Next, all independent variables do not granger cause House Price Index. At the same time, there is only one-way relationship found between House Price Index and Gross Domestic Product, and between House Price Index and Population where House Price Index is identified to granger cause both variables.
Profiles of organic volatile compounds in different types of litters in laying houses in Poland

The paper presents results of analyses of the volatile compound profile provided by GC/MS for three types of litters from laying houses (poultry houses for layer hens). Among 115 identified volatile compounds 46 were found to be metabolites of microscopic fungi, predominantly aldehydes and ketones accounting on average for 0.52 (RU – peak area/area of internal standard – tridecane) for wheat straw up to 2.75 (RU) for chopped chaff, as well as hydrocarbons ranging from 0.18 (RU) for chopped chaff up to 1.09 (RU) for rye straw. Discriminant analysis showed the greatest role of 2-methylbutanal, 1-heptanol, naphthalene and trichodiene in the population distribution of groups of analyzed litter samples based on their profiles of volatile compounds.
The Effect of Stock Liquidity on Cash Holdings: The Repurchase Motive

We document that enhanced stock liquidity increases a firm's propensity to hold cash. Endogeneity is addressed using a difference-in-differences approach based on tick-size decimalization. Our finding is surprising in light of the view that improved stock liquidity reduces financial constraints. We propose that firms hold cash also to buy back shares and higher stock liquidity strengthens this incentive. Tests are supportive. Endogeneity is controlled for using the introduction of repurchase safe harbor rules. We conclude that with respect to the effect of stock liquidity on cash holdings, the repurchase motive dominates the real investments motive.

The Kinetics of Glucose Transport in Human Red Blood Cells Depend on Their Metabolic State

The kinetics of glucose effl ux at 20°C has been investigated nearly 50 years ago at controlled conditions [1]. Only freshly drawn defi brinated human red blood cells were used and incubated at 37°C up to 24 hours without substrate to decrease intracellular ATP content [2] and to increase the cell volume. The increase in electrolyte content (n) and the cell volume (VH2O) was continuously measured. The glucose effl ux at 20°C was determined at three outside concentrations of 1.5, 3.0 and 4.5mM glucose by a right angular light-scattering method . Because of the dilution of the red cells 1:1000 the outside concentration of glucose is kept nearly constant. By this method the inside concentration of glucose (Si) is measured during glucose exit. For demonstration see fi gure 6.

Journal of Physical and Theoretical Chemistry

In this study, carbon was easily made from walnut wood as a low-cost and non-toxic natural adsorbent. Ziziphusspina-christi (ZSAC), an excellent adsorbent, were successfully synthesized by an in chemical vapor deposition method and used for the removal of Bismark Brown(BB) dye from aqueous solution. The as-synthesized Ziziphusspina-christi (ZSAC) were characterized by FT-IR technique. Various operational parameters such as pH, initial dye concentration and contact time in batch systems were investigated on the use of Ziziphusspina-christi (ZSAC). Equilibrium data obtained have been fitted to the Langmuir, Freundlich, Tempkin, and Dubinin–Radushkevich adsorption isotherms. Langmuir isotherm best fits the experimental results. Kinetic modeling of pseudo -first order and pseudo-second order showed that the pseudo-second order equation was the most appropriate for the description of Bismark Brown(BB) dye adsorption by (ZSAC). The maximum sorption capacity qmax in Langmuir isotherm of (BB) 35.88 mg/g showed onto (ZSAC), The overall adsorption process was exothermic and spontaneous in nature. The thermodynamic functions (ΔSo, ΔHo, ΔGo) of the studied reaction are calculated using activated complex theory and show that adsorption (BB) dye onto (ZSAC) process requires heat. The results indicated that Bismark Brown (BB) adsorption onto Ziziphusspina-christi (ZSAC)might be a physical adsorption.
Exposure to Digital Signage and Message Recall: Determining the Effectiveness of the Billboard outside the Prophet’s (PBUH) Mosque at Madinah al- Munawwarah

The present study has examined the pilgrims’ use, perceptions and recall of the digital signage set up on the street opposite to the King Fahd Gate of the Prophet’s (PBUH) Mosque to determine its effectiveness as a PSA tool. Data from the present study is also juxtaposed with data from a previous study on non-digital LED-scrolling billboards to highlight the effectiveness of the digital screens. Two types of measures of exposure, exposure frequency and screen usage in problem situations, are correlated with measures of unaided and aided recall. Partial correlations controlling for the demographic, exposure context, message-related interaction, and perceived usefulness of the screens were used to understand the mechanism of exposurerecall relationship. The main conclusion derivable from the above analysis of the factors of effectiveness --data on screen use, audience perceptions of the digital signage, and message recall -is that despite its potential for great utility and effectiveness as a PSA tool the particular digital signage is performing below par. Recommendations are proffered on improving the effectiveness of the signage. Introduction Background & Significance Digital signage is a useful tool of disseminating public service and commercial messages to a target audience in highly frequented locations. Frequency and pervasiveness with which the electronic billboards are used the world over is, in itself, a testimony to their effectiveness as message carriers. Advertising through electronic billboards is part of the outdoor or the out of
Contribution of 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT to targeting volume delineation of prostate cancer treated with conformal radiation therapy: Which SUV threshold is appropriate?

Introduction: Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) has been demonstrated as a promising tool for specific imaging of prostate cancer (PCa) via positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) scanning. Radiation treatment planning (RTP) based on 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT scanning can also lead to some decision modifications. The specific goal of this comparative study is to show how 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT images can influence the target volume delineation (TVD) and normal tissue radiation dose for PCa RTP, and to compare gross tumor volumes (GTVs) delineated using various strategies for 68Ga-PSMA PET-based image segmentation techniques. Methods: This study consisted of eleven 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT images related to patients affected with locally advanced PCa. Four strategies also included manual segmentation techniques, a 2.5 standardized uptake value (SUV) cutoff (SUV=2.5), as well as a fixed threshold of 40% and 50% of the maximum signal intensity (SUV=%40 SUVmax and SUV=%50 SUVmax) for 68Ga-PSMA PET-based segmentation techniques to delineate GTVPET. Two treatment planning were accordingly generated for each patient based on manual GTVPET and CT-only. Results: The GTV was statistically and significantly smaller for PET/CT-derived volumes (9.39 vs. 77.98 cm3 for CT alone) (p<0.002). There was no significant difference in volumes of GTV2.5 and GTV40% with GTVman (p=0.11) although we observed a significant difference in volumes of GTV50% with GTVman (p=0.02). Mean bladder dose (MBD), V50 of rectum, and mean femoral dose (MFD) for PET/CT plans were significantly lower than CT-only (22.36 vs. 46.55 Gy; p=0.004), (33% vs. 67.82%; p=0.000), and (28.01 vs. 37.12Gy; p=0.013); respectively. Conclusion: The contribution of hybrid modalities of PSMA-PET/CT can be useful for detailed target volume planning and reduce radiation exposure to organs at risk. Using molecular images in RTP also demonstrates the biological volume of GTV so that it will not be left out of the field to cause recurrent tumor.
Brain anatomy and Histology in Teleosts (Review Article)

The anatomical and histological observations of the brain in fishes differ among species, but they resemble each others in the number of brain compartments, and it is necessary to characterize well the anatomical and histological observations in the brain of each particular kind of fishes for doing further subjects in the brain. Five brain divisions usually observed which are from cranial to caudal; telencephalon or forebrain (contain 2 olfactory lobes and cerebrum), diencephalon (contain epithalamus, thalamus and hypothalamus), mesencephalon or midbrain (contain 2 optic lobes which are connected internally with torus longitudinalis and medially with the torus semi-circularis, and optic tegmentum), metencephalon or hindbrain (cerebellum) and myelencephalon or brain stem (medulla oblongata). The ventricular organization composed of the olfactory, lateral, the third, the tectal and the fourth ventricles. The adult neurogenesis process is usually observed in the fish brain, unlike mammal’s brain. The adult neurogenesis usually detected in cerebellum, optic lobe, and telencephalon.

Effects of Pellet and Mash Diets of Mesquite Fruit (Prosopis juliflora) on Performance, Energy and Protein Efficiency Ratio and Intestinal Morphology of Broiler Chickens

The primary aim of this study was to assay the influence of pellet and mash diets supplemented with different levels of mesquite fruit on performance, energy and protein efficiency ratio, carcass characteristics, and intestinal morphology of broiler chickens. In this study, a total of 560 one-day-old (mixed sex) Ross 308 were distributed in a completely randomized design with 7 treatments, 4 replicates, and 20 chicks per replicate. Seven iso-caloric and iso-nitrogenous diets including a control diet (mash form without mesquite fruit), and pelleted and mash diets, consisting of three levels of mesquite fruit (3, 6, and 9%) were adjusted. The results exhibited that mesquite fruit contained a high percentage of dietary fiber. The results also showed that pelleted and mash diets containing different levels of mesquite caused a significant difference in feed intake, body weight gain, and feed conversion ratio in starter and grower periods. At the finisher period, there was a significant difference between the experimental treatments in terms of feed intake and body weight gain, but there was no significant difference in feed conversion ratio. Experimental treatments also caused a significant difference in energy and protein efficiency ratio in the starter and grower periods. Dietary treatments also exhibited a significant difference in the relative weight of breast and intestine, but no effect was found on carcass yield and relative weight of other internal organs. The findings revealed that pelleted and mash diets containing different levels of mesquite fruit did not show significant differences in morphological traits of the intestine. Taken together, our results suggested that, the use of mesquite fruit in pelleted diets can have positive effects on the performance of broilers.
Deproteinized plant juice as part of circular economy: A short review and brief experimental data

As the population of the Earth is constantly growing it generates an unmet demand for protein, which is an urgent problem. The protein extraction process is a potential solution, which offers high-quality plant protein suitable for animal and human nutrition at a favorable price. The process used within our project produces green juice from the green alfalfa biomass through pressing. After the coagulation of protein from this green juice, the by-product is called DPJ (Deproteinized Plant Juices) or brown juice. Our preliminary results match the international literature, namely that brown juice take up as much as 50% of the fresh biomass in weight. To utilize this by-product is a crucial part of the process to make it environmental-friendly and financially viable as well. The examined brown juice samples came from a small-scale experiment of alfalfa varieties carried out in the experimental farm at the University of Debrecen. According to our preliminary results, brown juice has high macro- and micronutrient values, furthermore, it has a potentially high amount of antioxidant compounds. The study highlights that brown juice is suitable as an ingredient in microbiological media, in plant nutrition as a supplementary solution, for feedstock and for preparing human food supplements or functional foods. The potential utilization of all biorefinery products makes it a very appropriate technology for today’s challenges.
Mechanical behavior analysis of a clamped-clamped micro-beam with stepped viscoelastic layer under electrostatic excitation

In this study, static deflection, natural frequency and nonlinear vibration in bi-layer clamped-clamped microbeam are investigated. In this configuration, the second layer is the viscoelastic layer which covers a part of the microbeam length. This model is the main element of many chemical microsensors. The governing equations of motion for the system are obtained by Lagrange method and discretized using the assumed mode method. The non-uniform micro-beam modes shape are used as the comparison function in the assumed mode method. Initially, considering the DC voltage, system static response and natural frequency around the static position are obtained. Then, considering the AC voltage, the dynamic response around the dynamic position is calculated by both analytical (perturbation method) and numerical methods (Rung-kutta) and compared for validation purposes. The effect of different geometrical parameters of the viscoelastic layer on the static and dynamic behaviors of the system is also analyzed. The results indicate that the dimensions and location of the viscoelastic layer significantly affect the static and dynamic behavior of the system. Therefore, by using this property and considering the application of microsensors, their behaviors can be made efficient. For sensors operating based on resonance frequency shift, the optimum shift of frequency state can be obtained by varying the dimensions and position of the viscoelastic layer. Moreover, time of response can be optimized when the system is operating based on changes in the capacity of a capacitor. The results also represent that convergence in the assumed mode method used in this paper is feasible even using a single mode, whereas in previous works and using the Galerkin method, convergence was fulfilled in the presence of 3 modes.
