Potential application of overripe tempe dried powder as plant-based instant stock

Recent studies along with the local wisdom support the usage overripe tempe (OT) as plantbased umami source ingredients (USI). A market survey was done in this study in order to select target commercial USI product. Subsequently, OT was processed and formulated to compete the selected target product. The selected survey area was defined as modern market located in Tangerang City, Indonesia. Thirty validated respondents were taken into this survey. The selection of target USI commercial product was done based on the criteria as follow: (1) sold in selected survey area; (2) used by validated respondents; and (3) used in Indonesian savory dishes. Among five selected USI, instant chicken stock was defined as target commercial product in OT powder application. Subsequent market survey showed that in case of instant stock, taste property is the most important selection factor. Dried powders of OT were prepared by using ovenand freeze-drying method. Intensity scaling of attribute was conducted by employing 30 validated panelists to evaluate the umami intensity of the OT powder. Oven dried OT had highest umami intensity and thus was selected for further formulation of OT stock. OT stock was developed from chicken stock formula, using Design Expert software, to meet national standard requirement of stock and consommé. Taste acceptance and umami intensity of selected OT stock formula (6.71 + 1.27, 5.65 + 1.64) was significantly below the commercial target products (7.24 + 1.24, 7.68 + 1.78). Further IPSFAB-2017 International Postgraduate Symposium on Food, Agriculture and Biotechnology 35 development of OT powder as plant-based instant stock must to take into account improvement in the umami intensity and reduction of insoluble solid residue.
COMPUTER VISION TECHNIQUE FOR 3 D MODEL RECONSTRUCTION OF HISTORICAL BUILDING FROM PHOTOGRAPHS

The architectural heritage is considered part of every nation. The historical buildings represent people’s identity and past. Nowadays the technology allows to produce 3D models of buildings using laser scanners or photogrammetry, but these technologies cannot be used to reconstruct from one or few past images, as in the case of lost buildings. Moreover, pictures taken might not provide a clear image of details of historical buildings. This paper presents a computer vision technique for 3d model reconstruction of historical buildings. A software proof-of-concept application is presented to reconstruct historical buildings. The new approach however requires high computational resources and might provide the solution in cases where a historical building is described by one single picture.
The Impact of non-Poisson Arrival Processes in Health Care Facilities with Finite Capacity

Queueing theory is widely used in health care applications to find the optimal level of staff and capacity. In some applications, e.g. in a hospital, the performance is measured by the blocking probability, i.e. the percentage of patients lost due to balking. In such systems, the arrivals are usually considered to have exponentially distributed inter-arrival times. However, studies indicate that this assumption is not always reasonable, as the variance is underestimated or overestimated by using Poisson arrival processes. This work considers approaches to approximate or simulate the blocking probability for a non-Poisson arrival process. In particular, the approximation method by Bekker and Koeleman (2011) is evaluated by a simulation study based on Nelson and Gerhardt (2011). The results evidence a high sensitivity of the blocking probability to variability, dependency and non-stationarity of the arrival process.
Histological characterization of cuticular depositions throughout the molting cycle of the black tiger shrimp ( Penaeus monodon )

Promwikorn, W. , Boonyoung, P., and Kirirat, P. Histological characterization of cuticular depositions throughout the molting cycle of the black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) Songklanakarin J. Sci. Technol. , 2005, 27(3) : 499-509 The aim of this study was to investigate changes of cuticular deposition throughout the molting cycle of the black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon). The molting stages were first determined using physical criteria. Then the deposition of collagen fibers, carbohydrate, lipid and calcium salt in the cuticle were examined histologically throughout the molting cycle. The results show that the mature cuticle of the intermolt stageshrimp is composed of four sub-layers from exterior to interior including an epicuticle, an exocuticle, an endocuticle, and a membranous layer. The differences of cuticular depositions reflect the different functions of each cuticular sub-layer. We also investigated the changes of these depositions that were related to the molting cycle. We found that the dynamic process of cuticular degradation and regeneration occurred constantly throughout the molting cycle. During the premolt period, the new epicuticle and exocuticle (preecdysial cuticle) were synthesized on the inside of the old ones. After exuviations (post-ecdysis), the syntheses of the endocuticle and membranous layer of the new cuticle progressed chronologically. When the synthesis of the membranous layer is complete, the shrimps then enter the intermolt stage. At the end of this paper, we also summarize the histological criteria to use for determining the stage of the molt in the black tiger shrimp.
Text clustering as a mining task

In this chapter we introduce readers to the various aspects of cluster analysis performed on textual data in a mining framework. We first provide a brief overview on the techniques and the background notions on general clustering. Then, we focus on the importance and on the goals of clustering in a text mining scenario, analyzing and describing the issues which are specific to this particular field. Effective information extraction from highly dimensional textual data, clustering algorithms specifically designed to efficiently work on very large unstructured and, possibly, hyperlinked data sets, and comprehension of the clustering output are among the covered topics.
PALEOEARTHQUAKE HISTORY OF THE SPILI FAULT , CRETE ,

The paleoearthquake activity on the Spili Fault is examined using a novel methodology that combines measurements of Rare Earth Elements (REE) and of in situ cosmogenic Cl on the exhumed fault scarp. Data show that the Spili Fault is active and has generated a minimum of five large-magnitude earthquakes over the last ~16500 years. The timing and, to a lesser degree, the slip-size of the identified paleoearthquakes was highly variable. Specifically, the two most recent events occurred between 100 and 900 years BP producing a cumulative displacement of 3.5 meters. The timing of the three older paleoearthquakes is constraint at 7300, 16300 and 16500 years BP with slip sizes of 2.5, 1.2 and 1.8 meters, respectively. The magnitude of the earthquakes that produced the measured co-seismic displacements, ranges from M 6.3-7.3 while the average earthquake recurrence interval on the Spili Fault is about 4200 years. The above data suggest that the Spili is among the most active faults on Crete and its earthquake parameters may be incorporated into the National Seismic Hazard Model.

Overcoming Inequalities in a Fractured World : Between Elite Power and Social Mobilization 8 – 9 November 2018

s of records were screened for eligibility, with at least 25 percent of results examined by two researchers. Second, the full texts of eligible papers were analysed using a standardised template. In addition to establishing existing strategies for inclusion of minority ethnic or religious populations, the review examined the concepts, theories, methods or logic models underpinning these strategies. The quality of papers was assessed in terms of theoretical underpinnings for inclusion strategies and methodological strengths or limitations, including potential bias. Evidence regarding the success, effectiveness or sustainability of initiatives was identified to help inform future policy and practice and initiatives relating specifically to gender, age and migration were also identified, to capture any initiatives aiming to reduce intersectional disadvantage. Finally, gaps in the evidence were highlighted in order to develop a future research agenda that could support the improved social inclusion of disadvantaged ethnic and religious minorities.
40 nm T-Gate Process Development using ZEP Reflow

Abstract: As III-V compound semiconductor technology extends its reach into the millimeter wavelength (MMW) frequency application space, solid-state power amplifier designs rely heavily on the ability to reduce transistor lateral and vertical dimensions while maintaining high yield. In highelectron-mobility transistors (HEMTs), T-shaped gates are often used to simultaneously attain short gate length and large gate cross-sectional area to reduce electron transit delay time and ensure low gate resistance, respectively. To fabricate sub-0.25 micron T-gates that are necessary for MMW transistor operation, e-beam lithography is often used to define either a bi-layer or tri-layer resist stack for metal liftoff. A common problem that occurs as gate stem length is reduced is known as “metal cathedraling,” where metal builds up laterally on the top corners of the bottom resist layer feature and eventually results in a narrow junction between the T-gate stem and head. This undesirable junction can lead to poor electrical contact between the stem and head of the T-gate, and in extreme cases can result in low yield due to detachment/liftoff of the gate head from the stem. In this presentation, we will discuss the development of a simple technique that helps improve the yield of sub-0.25 micron T-gates by reflow rounding of the bottom ZEP resist feature in a bi-layer ZEP/UV5 stack. This fabrication procedure is outlined in figure 1 below. By using this reflow technique, we have been able to successfully demonstrate 40 nm T-gates with reduced metal cathedraling and improved yield. Process parameters such as ZEP reflow time/temperature, e-beam dose, and the effect of O2 plasma descum were evaluated during the course of this study. Reflow temperature was found to have the largest effect on reducing ZEP feature size and profile rounding. An optimized process parameter window was determined where ZEP feature size could be controllably reduced by 20 – 40% (depending on initial feature size) as a result of reflow. The final portion of this talk will discuss experimental results of vertically-scaled AlN/GaN HEMT devices with T-gates fabricated using the reflowed ZEP technique. In devices with T-gate length of 120 nm, we have been able to measure pad de-embedded fT and fmax in excess of 160 GHz with maximum current density of 1.7 A/mm.
Reduction of Energy Dissipation in WSNs Using Multi-Chain PEGASIS

In wireless sensor networks, sensor nodes have limitation of energy so the lifetime of the networks is very important design factor. The chain-based routing scheme is one of the famous routing schemes that are proposed for reducing energy dissipation of communication in the networks. The chain-based routing schemes construct the chains for routing path. The chain-based routing schemes can reduce energy dissipation of transmitting data to base station by using the concept of multi-hop routing. Major Routing protocol, power-Efficient Gathering in Sensor Information System (PEGASIS) presents the notion of chain formation among sensors and conveys the data to base station. The leader node collects data of all other chain nodes and sends it to the sink. It is challenge to achieve well-organised energy utilisation of the leader node of chain in PEGASIS. The proposed approach decreases the network overhead due to fewer numbers of nodes in chains. There is a major load on the single chain leader due to larger distance between chain leader and the sink. Minimization of data delivery delay is also an important requirement to improve network performance. The nodes are divided in several regions and make different chain for each region, it reduces the delay between nodes to BS, and hence energy load is distributed uniformly among the chains. Overall performance is analysis in terms of network lifetime with number of rounds. We compare the PEGASIS and proposed method with respect to 1%,20%,50% and 100% of dead nodes with number of rounds. Proposed method is approx. 20% better perform than PEGASIS. Keywords— Wireless sensor network,PEGASIS,Multi-Chain PEGASIS,Energy dissipation,Number of dead nodes and Rounds
Analyzing Textual (Mis)Information Shared in WhatsApp Groups

Whatsapp is a messenger app that is currently very popular around the world. With a user-friendly interface, it allows people to instantaneously exchange messages in a very intuitive and fluid way. The app also allows people to interact using group chats, sharing messages, videos, audios, and images. These groups can also be a fertile ground to spread rumors and misinformation. In this work, we analyzed the messages shared on a number of political-oriented WhatsApp groups, focusing on textual content, as it is the most shared media type. Our study relied on a dataset containing all textual messages shared in those groups during the 2018 Brazilian presidential campaign. We identified the presence of misinformation in the contents of these messages using a dataset of priorly checked misinformation from six Brazilian fact-checking sites. Our study aims at identifying characteristics that distinguish such messages from the other textual messages (with unchecked content). To that end, we analyzed various properties of the textual content (e.g., language usage, main topics and sentiment of message's content) and propagation dynamics of both sets of messages. Our analyses revealed that textual messages with misinformation tend to be concentrated on fewer topics, often carrying words related to the cognitive process of insight, which characterizes chain messages. We also found that their propagation process is much more viral with a distinct behavior: they tend to propagate faster within particular groups but take longer to cross group boundaries.
A multiple access/self interference canceller receiver for DS-CDMA multiuser detection over fading channels

This paper is concerned with the reduction of both self interference due to multipath, and multiuser interference due to multiple access for synchronous DS-CDMA communications over frequency-selective fading channels. The general structure of these detectors consists of a bank of matched filters, a linear transformation that operates on the matched filter outputs, and a set of threshold devices. The goal of the present work is related with a single sensor multiuser detection providing a multiuser+self interference (MUI+SI) cancellation in order to improve the expected behavior of classical schemes. This interference canceller exploits the well known generalized side lobe canceller (GSLC) scheme based on the canonical representation for the desired user linear detector. The orthogonality condition between both components is imposed by the proper design of the blocking matrix in terms of the interference subspace span. Several computer simulations over a multipath scenario support the feasibility of our proposal.
Teratogenic potential of pyrethroids: a review

Pyrethroids are modern synthetic insecticides commonly used for house hold and agriculture purposes and are extracted from the flowers of pyrethrums (Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium and C. coccineum) in late 1900s. An extensive data on multiple aspects of genotoxicity, carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, reproductive toxicology and neurotoxicology is available except teratogenicity. This review concludes the teratogenic potential of sublethal doses of different types of pyrethroids in various groups of animals in systematic way. On line available data interpretation through Pubmed Central NCBI, Google Scholar and Google was done to achieve the target and 122 references were found the most relevant in this perspective.
M ay 2 01 9 On Z 2-indices for ground states of fermionic chains

For parity-conserving fermionic chains, we review how to associate Z2-indices to ground states in finite systems with quadratic and higher-order interactions as well as to quasifree ground states on the infinite CAR algebra. It is shown that the Z2-valued spectral flow provides a topological obstruction for two systems to have the same Z2-index. A rudimentary definition of a Z2-phase label for a class of parity-invariant and pure ground states of the one-dimensional infinite CAR algebra is also provided. Ground states with differing phase labels cannot be connected without a closing of the spectral gap of the infinite GNS Hamiltonian. MSC2010: 81T75, 81V70, 58J30
An Easy-to-Use and Accurate 3 D Shape Measurement System Using Two Snapshots

3D measurement using a moving camera is a technique to measure the 3D shape of an object from a set of images taken from different viewpoints. One of the well-known 3D measurement methods is Structure from Motion (SfM) using featurebased correspondence matching. However, only a limited number of 3D points are measured by this method and are not sufficient to measure the fine 3D shape of the object. Addressing this problem, this paper proposes a novel 3D measurement algorithm combining SfM using feature-based matching to estimate camera parameters and area-based correspondence matching to obtain dense correspondence. Using the proposed algorithm, this paper also proposes an easy-to-use and accurate 3D shape measurement system from two views captured with a moving consumer digital camera. Through a set of experiments, we demonstrate that the proposed system can measure the 3D shape of the object in about 20 seconds with the measurement accuracy comparable with that of the 3D laser scanner.
The PomPP Framework : From Simple DSL to Sophisticated Power Management for HPC Systems

E ectively utilizing the limited power budget is one of the most important issues when realizing HPC systems beyond petascale performance and this remains a di cult task from every possible angle. On the end user’s perspective, optimizing the performance and power consumption of HPC applications requires a good understanding of the system speci cations in addition to the characteristics of applications. For system administrators, they are required to provide the system speci cations and de ne the interfaces to monitor and tune certain components while keeping in mind both stability and security of the system. In addition, automation of such tasks is also very critical in terms of productivity. To tackle these concerns, we propose and implement a simple framework to carry out power management and performance optimization of HPC systems.

Preparing to Teach an Undergraduate Embedded Linux Course

It seems that computers are everywhere in our society. The term embedded computing refers to systems that we usually don’t think of as containing a computer, but actually do. Some products are enhanced with the inclusion of such a computer. Today's cars have reduced emissions and enhanced performance. Likewise, so-called High Definition Television provides higher resolution than previously possible. With the advent of of Internet of Things (IoT) has come new approaches as well as additional opportunities for engineers to pursue. The recent wide adoption of the Linux operating system for embedded systems is a significant shift in paradigm. Unlike classic embedded systems which involve resource limited microprocessors and microcontrollers, Linux is a multi-programmed operating system that runs on enhanced hardware and easily connects to the Internet. This paper first provides necessary background to understand the significance of the adoption of Linux to embedded systems. To illustrate how classic embedded systems compare with embedded Linux, we refer to an Arduino microcontroller board as well as an Raspberry Pi system running embedded Linux. Then a four-layer model of the Internet of Things is presented and outlines how embedded Linux is involved in the device layer as well as the gateway layer. In choosing a Linux distribution and Linux development board, there was consideration that embedded Linux systems most often are headless, meaning that such systems do not have a video display, keyboard, or mouse, but rather are accessed from a host PC, through a serial port or computer network. Such embedded systems may provide a general purpose interface port and use a serial bus to communicate with peripheral devices. Our choice is to use the Raspberry Pi Zero-W (RPi-0W) board along with TinyCore Linux. While the board can be operated as a desktop system, making use of an HDMI video display, our choice is to operate the RPi-0W headless. Despite that, to enable a graphical user interface (GUI) we use secure shell to forward X-Windows messages to the host PC. While our students are briefly introduced to shell scripting, the primary programming language is Python. Our students make use of the General Purpose interface connector along with peripheral devices which communicate with the RPi-0W by means of I2C serial communications. In particular, students make use of a real-time clock, an analog to digital converter, and a digital to analog converter.
