Revisiting the Advanced Thermal Physical Model: New Perspectives on Thermophysical Characteristics of (341843) 2008 EV5 from Four-band WISE Data with the Sunlight-reflection Model

In this paper, we investigate thermophysical characteristics of near-Earth asteroid (341843) 2008 EV5, based on our improved advanced thermal physical model by considering the contribution of sunlight reflection for rough surfaces, along with four waveband observations from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer and the radar-derived shape model. Here we derive that 2008 EV5 has a relatively low thermal inertia of but a high roughness fraction. The geometric albedo and effective diameter are then constrained to be and , respectively. The low thermal inertia indicates that 2008 EV5 may have undergone sufficient space weathering over secular evolution. The high roughness may have resemblance to the appearances of Bennu and Ryugu recently observed by spacecraft, where a great number of boulders are widely distributed on the asteroid’s surface. Moreover, we numerically perform 1000 backward simulations of 2008 EV5's cloned orbits within 1 Myr to explore its origin, and present a probability of ∼6.1% that the asteroid originates from the main belt. Finally, we estimate that the mean grain size of the surface ranges from 0.58 to 1.3 mm, and infer that it is unlikely to find water ice on most of the area of 2008 EV5, but there may exist water ice on high latitudes near the polar region.
Closed geodesics on compact orbifolds and on noncompact manifolds

We study the existence of closed geodesics on compact Riemannian orbifolds, and on noncompact Riemannian manifolds in the presence of a cocompact, isometric group action. We show that every noncontractible Riemannian manifold which admits such an action, and every odd-dimensional, compact Riemannian orbifold has a nontrivial closed geodesic.
EV-based Smart E-mobility System - Part I: Concept

The first of this two-paper series proposes and elaborates a concept of electric vehicle (EV)-based e-mobility system. To this end, models designed to reap the benefits of EVs' flexibility in the literature almost exclusively consider charging stations as active players exploiting the EVs' flexibility. Such stations are seen as static loads able to provide flexibility only when EVs are connected to them. However, this standpoint suffers from two major issues. First, the charging stations need to anticipate some important parameters of the incoming EVs, e.g. time of arrival and departure, state-of-energy of the EV's battery at arrival and the required state-of-energy at its departure. Second, it observes the EVs only when they are connected to these charging stations, thus overlooking the arbitrage and charging opportunities when the EVs are connected to other charging stations. This paper proposes a new viewpoint, where EVs are observed as dynamic movable storage systems which can provide flexibility at any charging station. The paper defines both systems, the existing one, where the flexibility is viewed from the standpoint of charging stations, and the proposed one, where the flexibility is viewed from the EVs' standpoint.
On a model of evolution of subspecies

Ben-Ari and Schinazi (2016) introduced a stochastic model to study `virus-like evolving population with high mutation rate'. This model is a birth and death model with an individual at birth being either a mutant with a random fitness parameter in $[0,1]$ or having one of the existing fitness parameters with uniform probability; whereas a death event removes the entire population of the least fit site. We change this to incorporate the notion of `survival of the fittest', by requiring that a non-mutant individual, at birth, has a fitness according to a preferential attachment mechanism, i.e., it has a fitness $f$ with a probability proportional to the size of the population of fitness $f$. Also death just removes one individual at the least fit site. This preferential attachment rule leads to a power law behaviour in the asymptotics, unlike the exponential behaviour obtained by Ben-Ari and Schinazi (2016).
Asynchronous Gibbs Sampling

Gibbs sampling is a widely used Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method for numerically approximating integrals of interest in Bayesian statistics and other mathematical sciences. It is widely believed that MCMC methods do not extend readily to parallel implementations needed in big data settings, as their inherently sequential nature incurs a large synchronization cost. In this paper, we present a novel scheme – Asynchronous Gibbs sampling – that allows us to perform MCMC in a parallel fashion with no synchronization or locking, avoiding the typical performance bottlenecks of parallel algorithms. Our method is especially attractive in settings, such as hierarchical random-eﬀects modeling in which each observation has its own random eﬀect, where the problem dimension grows with the sample size. We present two variants: an exact algorithm, and an approximate algorithm that does not require transmitting data. We prove convergence of the exact algorithm. We provide examples that illustrate some of the algorithm’s properties with respect to scaling, and an example that compares the exact and approximate algorithms.

A Review : Cotton Leaf Disease Detection

India is an agricultural country wherein more than 65% population is depend on agriculture. The crop loss due to diseases is approximately 10 to 30%. Farmers judge the diseases by their experience but it is not accurate and proper way. Sometimes farmers take opinion from experts to detect the diseases but this is also a time consuming way. At the time of inspection of crop damage, the inspection committee faces many problems about the identification of disease and actual percentage loss of crop due to disease. The main motivation of this topic is to identify the type of disease and quantify the damage of crop thereby providing the possible financial help or compensation to suffered farmers. This fast identification and quantification of disease is possible by using image processing techniques on the different parts of cotton crop. This review paper gives the survey of cotton leaf disease detection techniques used by number of researchers.
One-step purification of histone-like protein ( HU ) from Halobacillus litoralis

The histone-like protein (HU) in bacteria is a small, basic, heat-stable protein that is involved in cell division and compression of the bacterial genome into a nucleoid. HU exists as a homodimer in most gram-positive bacteria such as Bacillus subtilis and as a heterodimer in enterobacteria such as Escherichia coli. The structure of HU, similar to other proteins, may change during purification, which may reduce the value of the investigation. Therefore, in this study, HU was purified in one step using an affinity chromatography column CNBr-activated Sepharose 4B matrix without using high-speed centrifugation and salting out methods. It was observed that the molecular weight and immunochemical properties of HU from Halobacillus litoralis were the same as those of HBsu (HU from B. subtilis).

Cell migration and capillary plexus formation in wounds and retinae

Cell migration is a fundamental biological phenomenon that is critical to the development and maintenance of tissues in multi-cellular organisms. This thesis presents a series of discrete mathematical models designed to study the migratory response of such cells when exposed to a variety of environmental stimuli. By applying these models to pertinent biological scenarios and benchmarking results against experimental data, novel insights are gained into the underlying cell behaviour. The process of angiogenesis is investigated first and models are developed for simulating capillary plexus expansion during both wound healing and retinal vascular development. The simulated cell migration is coupled to a detailed model of blood perfusion that allows prediction of dynamic flow-induced evolution of the nascent vascular architectures – the network topologies generated in each case are found to successfully reproduce a number of longitudinal experimental metrics. Moreover, in the case of retinal development, the resultant distributions of haematocrit and oxygen are found to be essential in generating vasculatures that resemble those observed in vivo. An alternative cell migration model is then derived that is capable of more accurately describing both individual and collective cell movement. The general model framework, which allows for biophysical cell-cell interactions and adaptive cell morphologies, is seen to have the potential for a range of applications. The value of the modelling approach is well demonstrated by benchmarking in silico cell movement against experimental data from an in vitro fibroblast scrape wound assay. The results subsequently reveal an unexplained discrepancy that provides an intriguing challenge for future studies.

International Conference on Knowledge Based and Intelligent Information and Engineering Systems A Hybrid Lagrangian Search Ant Colony Optimization algorithm for the Multidimensional Knapsack Problem

Multidimensional knapsack problem (MKP) is an NP-hard problem, the goal of which is to find a subset of objects that maximizes a given objective function while satisfying some resource constraints. To be solved in a relatively short time an approximate method that returns near-optimal solutions can or, often, should be used, especially for large and hard instances. In this paper, an approximate method combining Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) metaheuristic and Lagrangian heuristic is proposed to solve MKP. The idea is to use the solutions obtained by the Lagrangian heuristic to guide ants in their search of good paths by laying pheromone trails. Experiments on large benchmark instances on MKP show that the hybrid algorithm performs better than the ACO algorithm and the Lagrangian heuristic when tested separately. © 2015 The Authors.

LE Nonlinear 3 PB and 4 PB Flexural Behavior and Softening Localization for Epoxy Resin E 863 Using Digital Image Correlation Technique

The effect of local strain and stress distribution in the polymeric material under out of plane loading is of interest in many applications. Flexural testing of the polymer resins is necessary to evaluate their mechanical behavior. In this paper, the flexural response of polymer resin Epon 863 mixed with the curing agent EPI-CURE 3290 using a 100/27 weight ratio has been investigated in threepoint bending (3PB) and four-point bending (4PB) at different strain rates. Beams with different lengths and span to depth ratios were tested. Results show a higher flexural strength for 4PB than 3PB. Strain fields within the polymer beam structure were determined using the digital image correlation (DIC) technique to study the evolution of softening localization in 3PB and 4PB setups. Results show that the length of the softening localization is less than half of the thickness throughout the loading. The DIC technique was used to obtain the location of the neutral axis in the nonlinear stage of the material behavior. Results indicate the nonlinear variations of the neutral axis location for epoxy resin Epon E 863. The results show that the DIC technique can accurately characterize the material response of an epoxy resin for flexural loading.
THE EFFECT OF CAPITAL STRUCTURE ON AIRLINES’ VALUE

The relationship between capital structure and firm value has been the subject of considerable debates for both academics and practitioners. However, there is no certainty about the overall effect of debt on firm value. This paper aims to investigate the impact of capital structure on firm value for airlines from the entire world. The sample included 111 companies listed on stock exchange for 2014. To achieve the proposed objective we used multidimensional data analysis techniques, principal component analysis completed by an analysis of classification (cluster). In the end it was also used the regression. The results show that airlines have similar behavior in terms of capital structure, except for some companies grouped into different classes. Firm size have been found as negative determinant of capital structure, while tangibility, have been found as positive determinant of capital structure. The other factors have been detected to have no impact on the airlines’ value.
Quality of high-fiber wheat bread improved with rye flour

Cereals have been considered all along the time the most important group of plants for the human existence. Bread products are also the first products included in functional food category; even Hypocrite recommends whole grains bread consumption for its positive effect upon the intestines. Although white flour (refined) obtained products hold the supremacy among consumers’ preference, according to the studies that have been carried out lately, we have reached the conclusion that whole grains flours (nonrefined) are highly important. The aim of the experiments was to establish the recipes in order to obtain some high nutrition value products also with good volume and porosity using rye flour. The effects of rye flour on the quality and the crumb structure of bread supplemented with 5% to 30% were compared. Using rye flour for replacing 15 % of wheat flour and by optimizing the baking process it is possible to produce good consumer quality wheat bread containing up to 10% dietary fiber.
A Current Paradigm : Written Emotional Disclosure

It has been supposed for years that expressing feelings and thoughts about stressful or traumatic events is helpful for health. In this regard, Pennebaker developed “Written Emotional Disclosure Paradigm” that refers to the importance of not only verbal but also written disclosure of feelings and thoughts. He suggested that written emotional disclosure improves physical and psychological health. The studies pointed out that individuals who are healthy or have health problems experience positive changes in various health outcomes when they wrote for 3-4 consecutive days, for at least 15 minutes and after about 2 months from traumatic or stressful experiences. Also, important findings from studies that examine who can benefit from this paradigm attracted attention. The aim of this article is to review the structure of written emotional disclosure paradigm, its effects and benefits, mechanisms of action underlying these effects, its procedure and relationship with individual differences on the basis of the studies in the literature and to discuss the implications of these studies in terms of practice.
Evidence for effort prediction in perceptual decisions

The classic drift diffusion model of the 2AFC choice process assumes that observers select evidence accumulation thresholds to optimize some desired level of accuracy across the experiment. We argue that it is more ecologically natural to assume that decision-makers set this threshold adaptively, using information from recent trials to adjust it for upcoming ones. To test this hypothesis, we designed and conducted a pair of random dot motion discrimination experiment where the coherence parameter that controls task difficulty varies across trials in a predictable manner. To analyze data from these experiments, we also designed a hierarchical drift diffusion model that allows decision-makers to adapt their evidence threshold based on the trend of difficulty of previous trials. Our results suggest that observers rationally integrate cross-trial information about trial difficulty into perceptual decision-making by adjusting their internal evidence thresholds. We briefly discuss the implications of the existence of such trial-level effort inference on contemporary models of the choice process.
Title : Development of an in vitro model of heat stress during pig oocyte maturation and its impact on embryonic developmental competency-NPB # 09-249 Investigator :

Heat stress has a significant negative impact on agriculture production. A significant portion of this loss is recognized through lost reproductive ability in swine herds during periods of elevated environmental temperatures. The objective of this project was to develop an in vitro model of heat stress during oocyte maturation and demonstrate the impact on subsequent development in thermal neutral conditions following in vitro fertilization. The completion of this research project has: 1) Established an in vitro model of heat stress during porcine oocyte maturation, 2) Demonstrated impaired developmental competency of porcine embryos produced through in vitro fertilization following heat stress to the maturing oocyte, and 3) characterized potential molecular markers associated with heat stress during oocyte maturation prior to fertilization. Utilization of the molecular markers of developmental competency following oocyte heat stress will be useful towards the development of strategies to mitigate the negative effects of heat stress during oocyte maturation in pigs.
The Psychological Impact on Security and Economy : Trusting the online Products

Security is not a separated component, but rather only one segment of a confounded economy. The forces constraints on how compelling it can be. The associations of human perception and human intuition propose that security will keep being connected as an idea in retrospect. For virtual interaction and online communications, trust plays an essential factor for a human. Several important factors have been identified when researchers examined the trust improvement to form the fundamental of trust. This survey combines the psychological perspective and theory of trust to observe the impact of market signals such as brand image, website investment, privacy policy and past experience on trust founding and behavior. In this survey, we investigate the development and results of two studies designed to measure some factors that affect human trust toward online products while achieving a sense of security and privacy.
SOME PARTICULARITIES IN GENERATION OF ORTOPHOTO PROCESS

In many situations the ortophotos are necessary in GIS. Geometric requirements like fixed geometry and homogenity for an ortophoto makes it a good choice as input data. These images have long history and still require a higher demand. Althrough ortophoto production for large urban areas using standard algorithms have problems like: shifts and occlusions which are a drawback if someone adds vector data; incomplete and imprecise orto-rectification because of the incomplete data in DHM and others. Using DSM and considering additional images in order to eliminate occlusions it is possible to generate a true-ortophoto without problems mentioned before. In this paper some aspects in true-ortophoto and improved DHM production will be discussed.
OFCOM-Report Light Fidelity ( LiFi ) Executive Summary

The term LiFi denotes “light fidelity” and it is a form of bidirectional, networked, mobile, and high-speed wireless communications closely equivalent to Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) [1]. Unlike WiFi, the technology uses visible light spectrum instead of the increasingly congested radio frequency (RF) spectrum. Similarly to WiFi, this technology allows connection of different web-enabled devices such as computers, smart TVs, smart phones, etc. to internet; provides the inter-connection of WiFi enabled things such as refrigerators, watches, cameras, etc. in Internet of Things (IoT); and makes off-loading from cellular networks possible, addressing this way capacity needs for mobile broadband connections (Fig. 1). In addition, LiFi has a huge amount of visible light spectrum that is unregulated and does not require licenses. It has to be ensured, however, that LiFi systems do not present any health hazards and that they are properly installed so as not to create any electromagnetic interference.
