COST EFFECTIVE ENERGY EFFICIENT SCHEME FOR MOBILE ADHOC NETWORK

Clustering is defined as grouping of nodes based on their energy levels. In each cluster, a gateway node is set depending on the node that has the highest energy level. This phenomenon is majorly implemented using LEACH protocol. LEACH is abbreviated as Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy. It is a time division-based Media Access Control (MAC) protocol. In order to make it energy efficient a new protocol is defined to hold the sensors as long as possible. It balances the network load in minimal time. A more energy efficient node transfer is possible by means of the above protocol which attains the high residual energy. The major advantage of implementing this protocol is to reduce the energy and power consumption that is needed to create and maintain the cluster. In Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET), the vast consumption of power can be literally minimized by utilizing this clustering scheme. The simulation of our protocol is carried out in Network Simulator-2.
Jabuticaba (Myrciaria cauliflora) peel extract increases bioactive compounds in petit-suisse cheese

Food supplementation with natural dyes and extracts has been steadily increasing, and this is done to add value to food products, improve food quality and present technological attractions. The present work aimed to evaluate the effects of adding inulin:oligofructose 1:1 (w/w) and natural dye (0 to 3.0% of jabuticaba peel extract) on physicochemical and sensory characteristics of petit-suisse cheese during 28 days of storage. It was found that anthocyanins, phenolic contents and antioxidant activity increased with increasing concentrations of jabuticaba peel extracts, but anthocyanins content decreased along the storage time. Antioxidant activity remained stable throughout the storage time. All formulations were well accepted by panellists in sensory evaluation. In conclusion, the addition of inulin:oligofructose mixture and a natural dye into petit-suisse cheese have been demonstrated to provide an attractive colour to it and did not change its basic characteristics.

Farm-to-School Grant Funding Increases Children’s Access to Local Fruits and Vegetables in Oregon

We undertook this study to measure the reach of Oregon’s legislated farm-to-school grant program among school districts and children, particularly low income, and examine changes in local purchasing, particularly fruit and vegetables, and the use of produce from school gardens in school meals. We conducted descriptive analyses to examine the reach and paired two-sample t-tests to examine average purchases of local products between school year 2014–2015 (baseline) and 2015–2016 (intervention). The study results indicate that the number of nonwhite students attending a district participating in farm-to-school nearly doubled in the intervention, and 89% of children eligible for free and reduced-price meals attended schools in participating districts compared with 39% of eligible children at baseline. Eighty-one percent of participating districts were low income, which is much higher than the percentage of districts characterized as low income statewide (65%). The policy also increased the average total local food purchases for low-income districts, particularly fruits and vegetables. The results suggest that the opt-in approach to the grant program facilitated greater a * Corresponding author: Kristen C. Giombi, RTI International; 3040 E. Cornwallis Road, P.O.

A Randomised Clinical trial evaluating effectiveness of Guduchi and Shunthi kvatha in Amavata(Rheumatoid arthritis) in comparison with Indomethacin

Indian Traditional system of medicine (Ayurveda) has played premier role in the management of crippling disease, Amavata is one among them. Amavata is a chronic disease caused by vitiation of Vata associatedwith Ama. The clinical presentation of Amavata closelymimic Rheumatoid arthritis in accordance with their similarities in clinical features like pain, swelling, stiffness, fever, general debility, fatigue, etc. Herbal drugs are becoming increasingly popular in managing chronic diseases because of its safety, long term usage with fewer side effects andmultidimensional actions. Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia (Willd.) Miers ex Hook.f. & thoms. ) and Shunthi (Zingiber of icinale Rosc.) are widely available economic drugs with effective pharmacological actions. Present clinical study is conducted on 3 groupswith 27 patients in each group. Patients of group 1 were administered the test form i.e, Guduchi and Shunthi kvatha. Patients of group 2were treatedwith standard drug Indomethacin 75 mg BD. Patients of group 3 were administered both with Guduchi & Shunthi kvatha and Indomethacin. The results were tabulated using statistical methods and compared between the groups. Change in subjective and objective parameters were observed at the end of treatment in each group. Subjective parameters like Pain, Angamarda, Aruchi, Trishna, Alasya, Gaurava, Jvara, Apaka and Shunata anganam were observed. Objective parameters like CBC, ESR, RA factor, CRP and collagen pro ile were carried out before and after treatment. Trial drug shows more ef icacy in alleviating subjective parameters, but standard drug shows more ef iciency in the form of objective parameters. Overall effectiveness in signs and symptoms was seen in the volunteers taking both trial and standard drug which signi ies synergistic effect of both drugs help in resolution of Amavata better. Guduchi and Shunthi kvatha showed encouraging results but this must be taken for longer duration.
Job Stress among Software Professionals in Pakistan: A Factor Analytic Study

Job stress is a common workplace problem experienced by all professionals irrespective of their nature of work; however, this phenomenon is more common in situations that are deadline driven. Software house is one such sector, which is affected profoundly by this challenge, and professionals serving these organizations are often observed under huge stress. Software professionals’ nature of job is highly time-bound, client-oriented and technology intensive. The trends in turn, coupled with many factors, contribute towards stress. These factors are extremely diverse, including change of technology, client interaction, fear of obsolescence, family support, long working hours, and work overload etc. This study explores the nature of stress amongst software developers and professionals, and endeavours to identify the key factors responsible for producing stress amongst professionals, which limit their job functionality and overall productivity. The study was carried out through survey instrument, which was developed around ten stress factors. An analysis of about 200 professionals serving different software houses in the local context was carried out. The gathered data was analyzed using descriptive and correlation analyses which revealed interesting trends related with stress and age group, gender, marital status and qualification. The insights developed through this study are useful to many stakeholders in the local context, including software professionals, project managers, and the Pakistan Software Export Board.
A Scheme about Agricultural Produce Traceability Using Blockchain Based on Hyperledger Fabric

The implementation of the current agricultural produce traceability system based on centralized storage shows many disadvantages. Its data is not transparent, easy been tampered with, and in-credible. The existing blockchain traceability system is not closely combined with the requirements of agricultural produce traceability, and the management and query of large-scale traceability data are inefficient. Therefore, this paper proposes a consortium blockchain scheme based on the Hyperledger Fabric framework which ensures traceability credible and promotes transaction efficiency by designing the system architecture and the chain operation method in the view of the agricultural produce traceability and consortium blockchain to meet the needs of agricultural produce traceability. The results show that the blockchain traceability system based on our scheme optimizes the transaction process of large-scale traceability data, covering the whole life cycle of agricultural products, and has certain practicability.
Comparative study between deep learning and bag of visual words for wild-animal recognition

Most research in image classification has focused on applications such as face, object, scene and character recognition. This paper examines a comparative study between deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and bag of visual words (BOW) variants for recognizing animals. We developed two variants of the bag of visual words (BOW and HOG-BOW) and examine the use of gray and color information as well as different spatial pooling approaches. We combined the final feature vectors extracted from these BOW variants with a regularized L2 support vector machine (L2-SVM) to distinguish between classes within our datasets. We modified existing deep CNN architectures: AlexNet and GoogleNet, by reducing the number of neurons in each layer of the fully connected layers and last inception layer for both scratch and pre-trained versions. Finally, we compared the existing CNN methods, our modified CNN architectures and the proposed BOW variants on our novel wild-animal dataset (Wild-Anim). The results show that the CNN methods significantly outperform the BOW techniques.
THE IMPACT OF THE AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP OF THE LEADERS ON THE SUBORDINATE WELLBEING: IN PETROLEUM INDUSTRY

A leader may try various approaches to lead and manage an organization that helps to formulate strategy, adopt the positive direction and motivation, and above all lead to subordinate wellbeing. In the current study, an attempt is made to study the impact of the authentic leadership of the leaders on the subordinate wellbeing. The current study adopted a survey method to test the hypotheses. Authentic Leadership was measured by a 16-item scale developed by Avolio, Gardner and Walumbwa (2007). General Wellbeing was measured by a 19-item scale developed by Dupuy (1970). The data were collected from a sample of 315 respondents from the organization of the Petroleum Industry. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20 was used to assist both quantitative and qualitative data analysis and maintained the transparency and credibility of the research. The results revealed the significant correlation between the authentic leadership of the leaders and subordinate wellbeing in the Petroleum Industry.
The Effect Of Sic And Addition Mg Volume Fraction On Characteristics Al6061-Sic Composite

Aluminium matrix composite is one of composite materials that has good mechanical properties and widely used in industry. The addition of Mg and SiC components increased the hardness number of the composite. While, the aluminium 6061 alloy is an alloy with the possibility of small shrinkage defects and better liquidity levels that affect the weldability and cast ability due to the silicon content of the alloy. (1) In this study the addition of Mg serves to increase the value of hardness, wetting ability of the matrix and reinforcement. (2) This study analyzed the addition of 3%, 5% 8% Mg and 8% SiC. The tests were done by hardness test, tensile test, microstructure observation, SEM, and XRD. (3) The highest hardness number was 87.67 HRB with the addition of 8% Mg while the highest tensile strength was 174.26 MPa with the addition of 5% Mg. (4) From the results of the study showed that the addition of Mg improves the mechanical properties of Al6061/SiC composites.
Isolation and Characterisation of Halotolerant Bacteria and Algae and their Potential for Biofuel Production

The first aim of the project was to isolate, identify and characterize salt tolerant bacteria from river and pond water. This aim was achieved by the isolation of the salt tolerant bacterium Enterococcus amnigenus from water samples taken from Weston Park pond and by the isolation of the salt tolerant bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens from a dew pond in the Derbyshire Peak District. E. amnigenus in common with many enterococci, is a potential pathogen, but it also has uses in industry as a producer of bacterial cellulose. P. fluorescens is a ubiquitous organism found in marine and soil environments and has been well characterized as an important biofilm-forming organism and as a rhizobacterium. The second aim of the project was to isolate salt-tolerant microalgae from the fresh water Weston Park pond and this was successfully achieved by isolating and identifying two algal species - the diatom Navicula pelliculosa and the green alga Chlorella sp. Initial work measuring total lipid concentrations suggested that Navicula was the most promising organism for biofuel production due to having a total lipid concentration of around 20%. Further characterization of Navicula was undertaken to investigate its suitability for biofuel production. It was shown to grow under conditions of high pH and high salinity, making it a candidate species for growth in outdoor raceway ponds. Experiments using Nile Red fluorescence to measure neutral lipid production indicated that stress conditions (high salinity or high pH) could increase the neutral lipid accumulation by Navicula cells. To grow in high salinity (up to 0.8 M NaCl), Navicula cells must balance the external osmotic potential by accumulating a compatible solute within the cells. NMR analysis showed that the compatible solute accumulated by Navicula is glucosylglycerol, which is not normally found in diatoms.

The effect of the flow mask on phonation

The aim of this study was to investigate whether the presence of the flow mask affects voice quality. Microphone and flow recordings were inverse filtered and were compared to examine the possible effects of the flow mask. Closing quotient (ClQ), open quotient (OQ) and the amplitude difference between the first and second harmonics (H1-H2) were the parameters used to characterise the inverse filtered signals. The presence of the flow mask used for the recording of oral flow had an effect on these parameters, which is interpreted as being indicative of a more tense or more efficient voice quality in the presence of the mask.
Evaluation of dried amorphous ferric hydroxide CFH-12® as agent for binding bioavailable phosphorus in lake sediments

19 Metal hydroxides formed from aluminum (Al) and iron (Fe) salts can be used as 20 phosphorus (P) adsorbents in lake restoration, but the application entails problems in 21 low-alkaline lakes due to acid producing hydrolysis and potential formation of toxic 22 metal ions. Therefore, we tested the potential of applying CFH-12 ® (Kemira) – a dried, 23 amorphous Fe-oxide with no pH effect – in lake restoration. Since Fe 3+ may become 24 reduced in lake sediments and release both Fe 2+ and any associated P we also evaluated 25 the redox sensitivity of CFH-12 ® in comparison with freshly formed Fe(OH) 3 . CFH-12 ® 26 was added to undisturbed sediment cores from three Danish lakes relative to the size of 27 their mobile P pool (molar Fe:P Mobile dose ratio of ~10:1), and P and Fe fluxes across the 28 sediment-water interface were compared with those from untreated cores and cores 29 treated with freshly formed Fe(OH) 3 . Under anoxic conditions, we found that CFH-12 ® 30 significantly reduced the P efflux from the sediments (by 43 % in Lake Sønderby, 70 % 31 in Lake Hampen and 60 % in Lake Hostrup) while the Fe 2+ efflux remained unchanged 32 relative to the untreated cores. Cores treated with freshly formed Fe(OH) 3 retained more 33 P, but released significantly more Fe 2+ , indicating continued Fe 3+ reduction. Finally, 34 experiments with pure phases showed that CFH-12 ® adsorbed less P than freshly 35 formed Fe(OH) 3 in the short term, but was capable of adsorbing up to 70 % of P 36 adsorbed by Fe(OH) 3 over 3 months. With product costs only 30% higher than Al salts 37 we find that CFH-12 ® has potential for use in restoration of low-alkaline lakes.
Organizational Commitment And Academics' Knowledge Sharing: A Review And Directions For Future Research

The aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review of studies conducted on the relationship between organizational commitment and knowledge sharing among academics. A number of 100 research articles carried out on the research topic and published only in English were included in this review paper. Articles reviewed in this paper were retrieved from electronic scientific databases such as Scopus, and Web of Science. The results of the review indicate that previous studies have empirically confirmed the existence of the relationship between organizational commitment and knowledge sharing. Based on the review, the paper offers a conceptual framework that links the two concepts of organizational commitment and knowledge sharing and provides recommendations for future research in this area. Further investigation is needed on how organizational commitment influences knowledge sharing especially in the higher education sector. Academics also need to focus on enhancing the level of organizational commitment in order to be able to enhance their knowledge sharing behavior as well as workplace spirituality, which, in turn, will increase the effectiveness and performance of universities.
Comparative Study between No Mesh Inguinal Hernia Repair (Desarda Technique) and Mesh Hernioplasty and its Outcome

Background: Inguinal hernia is the most common surgical disorder occurring in young as well as elder males worldwide. Management wise there are many surgeries available in both tissue-based hernia repair as well as commonly practised prolene mesh inguinal hernia repair. New technique has developed, desarda hernia repair, is the tissue-based hernia repair in which, an un-detached strip of external oblique aponeurosis is used to repair the posterior wall of inguinal canal. This study compares the outcome of both desarda repair and lictenstein mesh hernia repair. Methods: Hospital based interventional study included 100 patients diagnosed with inguinal hernia and were divided into two groups, D (50 patients) for desarda technique and L (50 patients) for lictenstein repair. Outcomes measured were post operative complications as seroma, hematoma, orchitis, early and late postoperative pain, chronic pain and last was the recurrence. Hospital stay was also taken into consideration and follow up was done on day 7, 1 month, 6 months and 1 year after surgery. Results: During follow up, 10 patients suffered from chronic pain in lictenstein group compared to 5 patients in desarda group which was not significant (p = O.262). 1 Recurrence was seen both groups (p = 1). Seroma was seen in 2 patients in desarda and nil in L group whereas hematoma was seen more in L group. Conclusion: Results were comparable in both the groups, desarda being a new technique can be used in young patients to avoid complications most probably seen in mesh hernia repair.

Measuring Transitivity Using Untrained Annotators

Hopper and Thompson (1980) defined a multi-axis theory of transitivity that goes beyond simple syntactic transitivity and captures how much "action" takes place in a sentence. Detecting these features requires a deep understanding of lexical semantics and real-world pragmatics. We propose two general approaches for creating a corpus of sentences labeled with respect to the Hopper-Thompson transitivity schema using Amazon Mechanical Turk. Both approaches assume no existing resources and incorporate all necessary annotation into a single system; this is done to allow for future generalization to other languages. The first task attempts to use language-neutral videos to elicit human-composed sentences with specified transitivity attributes. The second task uses an iterative process to first label the actors and objects in sentences and then annotate the sentences' transitivity. We examine the success of these techniques and perform a preliminary classification of the transitivity of held-out data.
