Robust Encryption System Based Watermarking Theory by Using Chaotic Algorithms: A Reviewer Paper

In the previous decade, the mixing between chaotic supposition and cryptography frames considers a significant field of data security. Chaos-based image encryption is given a lot of attention in the exploration of data security moreover a great deal of picture encrypting calculations have been proposed concerning chaotic maps. Because of some inveterate highlights of media like information limit and high information excess, the encryption of images not quite the same as that of texts; accordingly it is hard to deal with them by conventional encryption strategies. This paper presents a short review of robust digital watermarking systems that used chaotic algorithms such as Logistic, Tent, Baker, Hyper, Fibonacci, and Arnold maps for encryption of the data presented in several years.
Order-disorder transition-induced band nestification in AgBiSe2–CuBiSe2 solid solutions for superior thermoelectric performance

Despite the fact that research into most high-performance thermoelectric (TE) materials is focused on tellurides, compelling demand has arisen to replace tellurium (Te) with selenium (Se) due to the scarcity of Te. Silver bismuth diselenide (AgBiSe2, ABS) has been widely studied in relation to thermoelectric applications due to its intrinsically low thermal conductivity. However, its low power factor (PF) has been considered as an underlying issue preventing improvements of the TE properties of ABS. Here, it is demonstrated that a high PF can be achieved by incorporating Cu into the ABS system via the nestification of conduction bands when a disordering between Ag and Bi occurs. Degenerate electronic bands simultaneously increase the density-of-states effective mass and carrier concentration while not reducing the carrier mobility significantly. Therefore, improved TE performance with a maximum PF of 8.2 μW cm−1 K−2 and a peak zT value of 1.14 was achieved at 773 K, opening a new horizon for the development of environmentally benign TE materials with high performance capabilities.

The Influence of Protease Inhibitors on the Evolution of Hepatitis C in Patients with HIV and HCV Co-Infection

Prevalence of hepatitis C in HIV infected patients is much higher than in the general population. There is the possibility of viral clearance HCV, in some patients co-infected HIV and HCV, in the phase of immune reconstruction after antiretroviral treatment (ART). There are patients’ anti-HCV positive who initially did not show HCV viral load detected and after the start of ART becomes HCV viral load detectable. There are studies that described that immune restoration with increase in CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, from ART, was important in control of HCV viremia. Has been proposed hypothesis that direct or indirect effect of ART on HCV replication play a role in spontaneous resolution of HCV infection. We evaluated the co-infected patients with HIV and HCV under combined antiretroviral treatment, containing PI boosted with ritonavir in terms of immunological and virological status (for both infection) and also liver disease. Patients were evaluated for liver damage by non-invasive methods. We have shown that a small percentage of patients have severe liver damage. We demonstrated the negative role of HCV on immunological status and in liver fibrosis in co-infected patients. A high proportion of these HIV and HCV co-infected patients had no detectable viremia, higher than other studies published.
Flexible housing implementation in dome-shape post-disaster relief house: Is it possible?

One of the major disasters in Indonesia within the last two decades was the 2006 earthquake in Yogyakarta. The earthquake prompted the government to assist the victims by rebuilding their houses through the post-disaster housing programs. Usually, when designing post-disaster relief houses, aspects such as mass-production speed, building strength, and other functional aspects became the main priority. Consequently, local culture, each occupant’s uniqueness, and particular needs are often forgotten to be accommodated in the house. These issues can be solved by applying the flexible housing concept where a house can change according to its users’ needs and adjustments to specific patterns as demographics, economy, and the environment. However, previous precedents of houses built with this concept tend to use a frame structure system that is more flexible to modify within the long term. Thus, this research raises a case study of post-disaster relief houses in Yogyakarta built after the 2006 earthquake, which uses a dome structure. Interviews and on-site observation were applied to investigate whether flexible housing applications can be implemented in the house. Overall, this domeshaped post-disaster house is still far from being categorized as flexible housing.
Overview of water quality modeling

Abstract Due to population growth, urbanization, and industrialization, water demands have increased, and the quality of water is degraded. Water quality modeling is a significant tool that aids managers and policymakers in multiscale integrated water resources and environmental management. However, water quality modeling is challenging due to several constraints. The modern application of modeling is essentially utilized by the need to comply with rules and regulations. In view of this, water quality modeling requires the standardization of models, identification of common features of models, the hotspots of pollution, and the current state of policy-relevant models. This review presents an overview of water quality modeling and major models frequently applied for water quality assessment at the catchment and at waterbody scales. This review is intended to highlight the applicability of certain water quality models, and the state of water quality modeling, model classification, and uncertainties. Water quality models are described and selected based on their applicability, strengths, weaknesses, and intended use. Some models are applicable for the specific waterbodies, simulate selected water quality parameters, have uncertainties, are not commercially available, require skilled model users, and have huge data requirements. When selecting suitable models, it is recommended to consider the availability of data, model complexity, and type of waterbody, and intended objectives to be modeled.
Characterization and treatment of condensates generated from softwoods that have been radio-frequency/vacuum kiln dried

Three softwoods (Douglas-fir, western hemlock, and western redcedar) were subjected to radio-frequency/vacuum (RF/V) drying and the condensates were characterized. These condensates were acidic, acutely toxic to Daphnia magna and Photobacterium phosphoreum (Microtox), and could contribute significantly to biological oxygen demand (BOD 5 ). Therefore, the condensates could have a detrimental effect on receiving waters if discharged without prior treatment. Several abiotic treatment strategies were evaluated for their ability to reduce BOD 5 and detoxify the three condensates. Treatments included pH adjustment, filtration, adsorption, and H 2 O 2 oxidation. Sequential H 2 O 2 /anion exchange was the most effective means of treatment, removing 70 to 90 percent of the condensate BOD 5 and chemical oxygen demand (COD), and detoxifying all three condensates. Detoxification was complete as assayed by Microtox. However, treated condensates were still slightly toxic toward Daphnia magna. The results of this study demonstrate RF/V condensates can be physico-chemically treated to produce an effluent that has reduced BOD 5 and acidity. Preliminary results also show that detoxification is possible by such treatments. However, further toxicity studies on fish are required to confirm this observation.
Synthesis and Properties of Novel (Organic Material-Inorganic Nanoparticles) System for New Pressure Sensors

The purpose of this paper is to prepare novel nanocomposite pressure sensors with lightweight, low cost, and high sensitivity. The nanocomposites of poly (ethylene oxide)-polyvinyl pyrrolidone-Tin dioxidenanoparticles -manganese dioxide nanoparticles have been investigated. The structural and dielectric properties (PEO-PVP-SnO2-MnO2) nanocomposite has been studied. Nanocomposite dielectric properties have been evaluated in the frequency range (100 -5×106)Hz. The experimental results demonstrated that as the frequency rises, the dielectric constant and dielectric losses decrease. The dielectric constant, and dielectric losses increase with the concentration of manganese dioxide nanoparticles. The A.C electrical conductivity increases with the concentration of manganese dioxide nanoparticles and the frequency. The application of nanocomposite pressure sensors in the pressure interval (80-160) bar was investigated. The results exhibited that the electric capacitance of (PEO-PVP-SnO2-MnO2) nanocomposites decreases, as the pressure increases. Also, with increasing the weight percentage of manganese dioxide nanoparticles, the electric capacitance of nanocomposites rises. The nanocomposite has a high sensitivity to pressure.
A virtual element method for the von Kármán equations

In this article we propose and analyze a Virtual Element Method (VEM) to approximate the isolated solutions of the von Kármán equations, which describe the deformation of very thin elastic plates. We consider a variational formulation in terms of two variables: the transverse displacement of the plate and the Airy stress function. The VEM scheme is conforming inH2for both variables and has the advantages of supporting general polygonal meshes and is simple in terms of coding aspects. We prove that the discrete problem is well posed forhsmall enough and optimal error estimates are obtained. Finally, numerical experiments are reported illustrating the behavior of the virtual scheme on different families of meshes.
Género, coautorías, e impacto: las publicaciones de investigadores peruanos en biología (1994 – 2017)

This study explores the role of gender in the networks of co-authorship publications, the impact of articles written by two or more authors, and the influence of high-impact articles on the academic careers. We analyze Peruvian biology researchers with publications in Web of Science Core Collection and SciELO Citation Index, as well as the curricula of the authors of greatest impact publications. A significant imbalance has been found in the number of male and female researchers as well as a significant disproportion of the number of documents published. The co-authorship network formation is not affected by gender, but women have high betweenness levels less frequently, which probably affects their effect on information flow. Finally having published a high impact research is related to promotion for junior researchers,
Severity-Mapped Vibrotactile Cues to Support Interruption Management with Weather Messaging in the General Aviation Cockpit

Despite the increasing availability of technologies that provide access to aviation weather information in the cockpit, weather remains a prominent contributor to general aviation (GA) accidents. Pilots fail to detect the presence of new weather information, misinterpret it, or otherwise fail to act appropriately on it. When cognitive demands imposed by concurrent flight tasks are high, the risks increase for each of these failure modes. Previous research shows how introducing vibrotactile cues can help ease or redistribute some of these demands, but there is untapped potential in exploring how vibratory cues can facilitate “interruption management”, i.e., fitting the processing of available weather information into flight task workflow. In the current study, GA pilots flew a mountainous terrain scenario in a flight training device while receiving, processing, and acting on various weather information messages that were displayed visually, in graphical and text formats, on an experimental weather display. Half of the participants additionally received vibrotactile cues via a connected smartwatch with patterns that conveyed the “severity” of the message, allowing pilots to make informed decisions about when to fully attend to and process the message. Results indicate that weather messages were acknowledged more often and faster when accompanied by the vibrotactile cues, but the time after acknowledgment to fully process the messages was not significantly affected by vibrotactile cuing, nor was overall situation awareness. These findings illustrate that severity-encoded vibrotactile cues can support pilot awareness of updated weather as well as task management in processing weather messages while managing concurrent flight demands.
Extraction of Xylose from Rice Straw and Lemongrass Leaf via Microwave Assisted

In recent years, agricultural wastes cause serious pollution to the environment. Agricultural residues can be used to produce value-added products in order to control environmental pollution, therefore these wastes are a promising feedstock as it has many advantages such as wide range of source, low cost and renewable. Rice straw and lemongrass leaves which are the renewable sources for the production of many useful products such as xylose. The aim of this study is to compare the content of xylose produced from rice straw and lemongrass leaves, in order to obtain highest yield of xylose and to optimize the acid hydrolysis time, concentration of sulphuric acid, liquid-solid ratio and the power of the microwave towards the maximum extraction of xylose. Microwave assisted acidic hydrolysis method was used to extract xylose from rice straw and lemongrass leaves. The acid hydrolysis of both rice straw and lemongrass was performed at different time (1-5 minutes), acid concentration (1%-5%), liquid solid ratio (1:30, 2:30, 3:30, 4:30 and 5:30) and power (160W, 320W, 480W, 640W, 800W). The results obtained indicate that the yield of xylose from rice straw (2.98g/L) via the microwave assisted is slightly higher than lemongrass (2.91 g/L) with optimum conditions of 3 minutes of hydrolysis time, 2% of sulphuric acid concentration, 1:30 of liquid solid ratio and 320W of microwave power. Meanwhile, the optimum conditions for lemongrass leaves are 4 minutes of hydrolysis time, 4% of sulphuric acid concentration, 2:30 of liquid solid ratio and 480W of microwave power. Thus, rice straw has slightly higher capability in production of xylose compared to lemongrass.
Changes of Flow and Sediment Transport in the Lower Min River in Southeastern China under the Impacts of Climate Variability and Human Activities

The Min River is the largest river in Fujian Province in southeastern China. The construction of a series of dams along the upper reaches of the Min River, especially the Shuikou Dam, which started filling in 1993, modified the flow processes at the lower Min River, leading to the significant increase in low-flows and slightly decrease in flood-flows. At the same time, reservoirs have more effects on the sediment transport process than flow process by trapping most sediment in the reservoirs, and greatly reduced the amount of sediment transporting downstream. Increase in vegetation cover also contributes to the decrease in sediment yield. The reduction in sediment together with excessive sand mining in the lower Min River resulted in the severe downward erosion of the riverbed. Using a reformulated elasticity approach to quantifying climatic and anthropogenic contributions to sediment changes, the relative contribution of precipitation variability and human activities to sediment reduction in the lower Min River are quantified, which shows that the sediment reduction is fully caused by human activities (including land use/land cover changes and dam construction).
Delignified Wood from Understanding the Hierarchically Aligned Cellulosic Structures to Creating Novel Functional Materials: A Review

Utilization of hierarchically aligned natural cellulosic structures has become a leading natural template scaffold for a diverse range of functional applications. This natural scaffold derived from wood by partial or full removal of lignin without altering or disturbing the hierarchically aligned cellulosic structure is known as delignified wood (DW). Over the past five years, various types of functional materials for diverse applications have been fabricated using DW. This review aims to highlight the significance of DW in functional material development by discussing the delignification impacts on the wood cell wall properties and review the different strategies used in functional materials fabrication. The first part of this review discusses the fundamental aspects of wood cell wall structure in relation to wood chemistry and lignin biosynthesis. The second part focuses on the different delignification methods used in partial and full lignin removal from wood cell walls and the fundamental properties (i.e., physical, mechanical, and chemical) of DW. The third part of this review discusses the strategies and the detailed current literature regarding the development of diverse functional materials based on DW. A greater understanding of DW provides the potential for further development of DW‐based functional materials for a diverse range of future applications.
Reconstructing the Universe: Testing the Mutual Consistency of the Pantheon and SDSS/eBOSS BAO Data Sets with Gaussian Processes

We test the mutual consistency between the baryon acoustic oscillation measurements from the eBOSS SDSS final release and the Pantheon supernova compilation in a model-independent fashion using Gaussian process regression. We also test their joint consistency with the ΛCDM model in a model-independent fashion. We also use Gaussian process regression to reconstruct the expansion history that is preferred by these two data sets. While this methodology finds no significant preference for model flexibility beyond ΛCDM, we are able to generate a number of reconstructed expansion histories that fit the data better than the best-fit ΛCDM model. These example expansion histories may point the way toward modifications to ΛCDM. We also constrain the parameters Ω k and H 0 r d both with ΛCDM and with Gaussian process regression. We find that H 0 r d = 10,030 ± 130 km s−1 and Ω k = 0.05 ± 0.10 for ΛCDM and that H 0 r d = 10,040 ± 140 km s−1 and Ω k = 0.02 ± 0.20 for the Gaussian process case.
Strain and Velocity Across the Great Basin Derived From 15‐ka Fault Slip Rates: Implications for Continuous Deformation and Seismic Hazard in the Walker Lane, California‐Nevada, USA

Average strain across the Great Basin over the past 15 Kyr derived from slip rates on individual faults shows a concentration of both right‐lateral shear and extension in the western Great Basin (Walker Lane). Straining is modest across the central Great Basin, with a zone of higher strain in the eastern Great Basin including the Wasatch Front. The horizontal velocity field derived from 15‐ka fault slip rates is similar to the pattern of GPS velocities, suggesting that regional strain release patterns have been constant over the past 15 Kyr. The magnitudes of velocities inferred from fault slip rates, relative to North America, are lower than those from GPS in the Walker Lane, suggesting that the geologic record is missing evidence of strike slip on faults, and seismic hazard may be higher than suggested by fault slip rates alone. The observed strain concentration in the western Great Basin is consistent with a Sierra Nevada block that is more rigid than the surrounding lithosphere of nonlinear rheology, which concentrates strain east of and adjacent to the rigid block. Treating the western U.S. as a thin viscous sheet with the Sierra Nevada block as a rigid boundary provides a consistent history of continuous deformation in the Walker Lane over decadal, millennial, and Neogene timescales.
Quality Assessment of the CL‐20/HMX Cocrystal Utilising Digital Image Processing

: The reduction of liquid and gas inclusions in the crystals is an effective strategy for the production of reduced sensitivity high explosives. Assessment of the achieved crystal quality is paramount for the improvement of the crystallisation techniques. Here we present the quality evaluation of the CL-20/HMX cocrystal obtained from semibatch reaction cocrystallisation (SBRC), batch reaction coc-rystallization (BRC), and antisolvent crystallisation by comparison of the results of digital image processing of photomicrographs of crystals immersed in an optically equally dense liquid, 1 H NMR, HPLC, GC, helium pycnom-etry, SEM, pXRD, and DSC. It was found that digital image processing is capable of differentiation between crystal qualities of batches that are indistinguishable by all the other listed methods. It presents itself as a very promising tool for crystal quality assessment and improvement. The analysis shows that SBRC can produce coarse crystals of the same quality on a pilot plant scale as antisolvent crystallisation on a laboratory scale.
Systematic Literature Review of Profiling Analysis Personality from Social Media

The success or failure of a company is usually supported by the presence of reliable resources, especially human resources. Recruitment and placement of employees in the right position will have a significant impact on a company. Human nature and character are very diverse in their forms. DISC theory classifies personality into four types namely dominance, influence, steadiness, and compliance. The difference in the character of each type will of course affect the behavior style, how to deal with life pressures, and also how to communicate both directly and with social media. Through social media, a person can vent his feelings through the posts he uploaded. From these posts an analysis of the personality character he is possessed can be carried out. This systematic literature review is used to analyze and focus on techniques for conducting personality profiles through the use of social media. From this literature review of analysis, it can be obtained that the various personality classification methods and algorithms can provide a good level of accuracy.
