Data generated during the 2018 LAPSE-RATE campaign: an introduction and overview

Abstract. Unmanned aircraft systems (UASs) offer innovative capabilities for providing new perspectives on the atmosphere, and therefore atmospheric scientists are rapidly expanding their use, particularly for studying the planetary boundary layer. In support of this expansion, from 14 to 20 July 2018 the International Society for Atmospheric Research using Remotely piloted Aircraft (ISARRA) hosted a community flight week, dubbed the Lower Atmospheric Profiling Studies at Elevation – a Remotely-piloted Aircraft Team Experiment (LAPSE-RATE; de Boer et al., 2020a). This field campaign spanned a 1-week deployment to Colorado's San Luis Valley, involving over 100 students, scientists, engineers, pilots, and outreach coordinators. These groups conducted intensive field operations using unmanned aircraft and ground-based assets to develop comprehensive datasets spanning a variety of scientific objectives, including a total of nearly 1300 research flights totaling over 250 flight hours. This article introduces this campaign and lays the groundwork for a special issue on the LAPSE-RATE project. The remainder of the special issue provides detailed overviews of the datasets collected and the platforms used to collect them. All of the datasets covered by this special issue have been uploaded to a LAPSE-RATE community set up at the Zenodo data archive (https://zenodo.org/communities/lapse-rate/, last access: 3 December 2020).

IOT based Smart Band

Implementing IOT based appliances are bit expensive operation when come to implanting it on home services. Expensive IOT devices are one of the reasons why there is no significant improvement in the IOT home appliances. This paper presents successful implementation of controlling the electrical home appliances by using a smart band. The smart band provides commands via Bluetooth to Android smart phone. An application has been developed for android smart phone specifically transferring the command via internet connectivity to “Ubidots” cloud server and “Raspberry Pi” fetches the command to turn ON or OFF the “GPIO” pins on which relay board is connected. It provides the automation of manual switches for control of electrical appliances.
The relationship between eccentric hamstring strength and dynamic stability in elite academy footballers

ABSTRACT Objectives Previous research describes dynamic stability and functional strength as key aetiological risk factors associated with lower limb non-contact musculoskeletal injury. Due to the multifactorial nature of injury risk, relationships between the two factors will inform injury management and training design. Methods A total of 59 elite academy footballers from two English premier league category 1-status academies completed the study. All players completed measures of eccentric hamstring strength and dynamic stability. Relationships between directional stability (Anteroposterior (Ant), Posteromedial (PM) and Posterolateral (PL)) and eccentric strength metrics (PkT, AvT, PkF, AvF and Ɵ) bilaterally were identified for analysis. Results Significant correlations were identified bilaterally for functional hamstring strength metrics and PM and PL stability (P ≤. 0.05). No significant relationships were identified between anterior stability and eccentric hamstring strength parameters (P > 0.05). Conclusions Eccentric hamstring strength has a positive influence on directional stability through two planes, PM and PL. The lack of influence of eccentric hamstring strength on Ant directional stability could be attributed to increased ACL risk. Careful consideration of the significance of the relationships between eccentric hamstring strength and directional stability must be given when quantifying injury risk in elite academy footballers.
Investigation on The Electromagnetic Shielding Performance of Copper Plate and Copper Composite Fabrics: A Comparative Study

Recently, the advantages of protective textile materials such as cost effectiveness, flexibility, lightweight etc. over metal plates are emphasized in many studies. However, these studies did not provide a comparison of protective performances between fabrics and metal plates. In this study, electromagnetic shielding performances of copper plate and metal composite woven/knitted fabrics were compared. For this purpose, electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of single and double layer copper plate and metal composite fabrics were measured in vertical and horizontal directions. As a result, copper plate showed better performance than composite fabric samples in both measurement directions. However, the composite fabrics did not show an effective performance in horizontal direction. EMSE behavior of copper plate was similar for both direction due to the isotropic structure and this performance maintained in higher frequency level. On the other hand, gaps in the structure of composite fabrics caused the decreasing in EMSE performance against increasing frequency.
Genetic diversity of lactic acid bacteria isolated from Sumbawa horse milk, Indonesia

Kusdianawati, Mustopa AZ, Fatimah, Budiarto BR. 2020. Genetic diversity of lactic acid bacteria isolated from Sumbawa horse milk, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 21: 3225-3233. LAB from Sumbawa horse milk has good potential antimicrobial and probiotic agents. It is known, the study on LAB diversity based on its phenotypic characters is difficult to be distinguished. However, the development of molecular characterization based on the genotypic characteristic could be done for LAB diversity analysis. The aim of this study is to obtain the genetic diversity of LAB from Sumbawa horse milk collected from Penyaring Village and Lennanguar Village, Sumbawa, West Nusa Tenggara Indonesia. LAB strains were identified based on their genotypic characteristics, including their randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) primers profiles and 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequences. The result of RAPD-PCR analysis showed 5 clusters of dendrograms resulted from GTG5 and LB2 primer amplification. Based on 16 rRNA sequences result, the phylogenetic tree was constructed and revealed 7 species of LAB i.e: SK 1.5, SKP K.3, SKP K.5, SKP K.9/SKP K.7/M.SKP K.3, SKL K.4, M.SKL K.1/ M.SKL K.5, and SKP K.4 belonging to the species of Enterococcus faecium, Weissella confusa, Lactococcus garvieae, Enterococcus thailandicus, Lactobacillus fermentum, Enterococcus faecalis, and Lactococcus petauri. In this study, the bacteria from Enterococcus sp. , Lactococcus garvieae, and Lactococcus petauri existed as a novel of bacteria which means they have not been isolated and identified in Sumbawa horse milk compared to the previous findings.
The perception of toxic and non-toxic plants by children and adolescents with regard to gender: implications for teaching botany

ABSTRACT Human cognition is influenced by natural selection which results in better information retention related to survival and faster visual recognition of potential threat. Plants are excellent models for studying human preferences because of the long evolutionary connectedness of humans with plants as food sources, although research in this field is scarce. We created visual detection tasks to investigate human responses to toxic and non-toxic plants using a sample of children (N = 80) and adolescents (N = 80). As predicted, toxic plants were detected significantly sooner than non-toxic plants. Children showed faster plant detection times than adolescents and females were faster in identification of plants than males. There were, however, no differences in toxic plant identification skills with respect to age and gender. These results suggest that plant toxicity, as an example of survival-relevant information, meets with increased attention on the part of humans and needs to be incorporated into teaching botany.
What’s going on next door? Irregular leader change in neighboring countries, uncertainty, and civil war

Uncertainty about capabilities or resolve is a prominent explanation for war between states. However, we know comparatively little about uncertainty as a cause of armed conflict between domestic actors. This article proposes that irregular leader change in a neighboring country generates uncertainty about third-party resolve and thus increases the likelihood of intrastate armed conflict. I argue that domestic actors take potential third parties’ capabilities and resolve into account when bargaining, that neighboring countries are important potential third parties, and that irregular leader change among these potential third parties results in uncertainty because there is an increased risk of foreign policy change combined with limited access to information. With uncertain estimates of third-party resolve, the risk of bargaining failure and armed conflict increases. Global spatial analyses spanning 1946–2014 corroborate the argument. As expected, I find that irregular leader change in one or more neighboring countries increases the probability of intrastate armed conflict onset. The results are robust across three different distance thresholds for neighboring countries, using time and country fixed effects and several alternative model specifications. Overall, this article advances our knowledge about uncertainty as a cause of civil war and sheds new light on the adverse consequences of irregular leader change.
Designing The Improvement of SPAM UNS Water Dispenser Service Quality

SPAM (Sistem Pengolahan Air Minum or Drinking Water Treatment System) UNS was established in 2015 to meet the drinking water needs of the UNS academic community by providing 129 dispensers and water tap machines spread across buildings at UNS. A survey conducted by UNS students in 2017 showed that 54 % of students were not sure of the quality of UNS SPAM water. So the service quality questionnaire was distributed to 160 UNS students randomly and it was found that only 3 % of respondents stated that they used SPAM UNS water dispenser very often. Processing results shown the highest gap value is in the reliability dimension, with CTS namely cleanliness and flow of water. From the survey regarding the cleanliness and flow of the water carried out the DPMO value of the process was 332,589 (1, 930 sigma) . Recommendations for improvement are in the form of several SOPs to improve the cleanliness and quality of SPAM UNS water dispenser services.
Development and promise of a vocabulary intelligent tutoring system for Second-Grade Latinx English learners

Abstract We examine the promise, usability, and feasibility of an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) to improve the vocabulary and language proficiency in science and social studies of Latinx second grade English learners (ELs). Participants were 217 ELs attending English only programs or bilingual programs. Findings from the clustered randomized control trial using a researcher-developed proximal assessment indicated that students who used the ITS significantly improved their vocabulary knowledge of the words taught compared to students in the comparison group (ES = 0.38). Results also indicated that most students enjoyed using the ITS and learning new words. Teachers found the program feasible and beneficial to their students.
Revenue Management e Yield Management: precificação diferencial no turismo e desafios da percepção de justiça

The objective of the study: The objective of the present work is to trace the history and an overview of the differential pricing methods used in tourism businesses, reflecting on the perception of the injustice of these methods by consumers. Methodology/approach: Systematic review of the literature on differential pricing in tourism and price fairness perception. Originality/Relevance: Despite the relevance of differential prices and the price fairness perception in tourism and behavioral economics, few studies have studied this subject from the consumer's point of view in comparison with a large amount of research in pricing strategy based on the managerial approach, especially in Brazil. Main results: The results of the literature review indicate a tension between the economic arguments for companies to adopt differential pricing methods - such as Yield Management and Revenue Management - and the reactions of consumers to these prices. Therefore, price fairness is a very relevant variable to be considered in improving research and sector practices. Theoretical/methodological contributions: The systematic review of the literature of differential pricing and price fairness in tourism contributes to a current panorama on the subject, as well identify gaps and possibilities for future research. Social/management contributions: It is recommended that tourism managers be aware and includes in their pricing methods the tourist point of view of the final price, as well as for the procedures and policies to reach that price since differential price methods not always can be considered fair.
Influence of Euphemistic Texts on Students' Corrupt Communication Usage, Empathy and Prejudice

This quasi-experimental study investigated the influence of euphemistic texts (words used to substitute unethical, taboo, or harsh expressions) on the corrupt communication usage, empathy and prejudice levels of 39 education students. The participants, who were purposively chosen, were exposed to selected euphemistic texts for three months. The study utilized three validated researcher-made instruments for data gathering. The descriptive statistics, t-test for dependent sample, and Pearson’s r obtained the quantitative results. The interview, observation, and journal writing were utilized to gather further information. Findings showed that using euphemistic texts diminished the participants’ corrupt communication usage, maintained higher level of empathy and lowered their prejudice level. Avoiding harsh expressions was the most common manifestation of changed behavior among the participants. The study suggests that using euphemistic texts may be an effective alternative strategy in developing higher empathy level and minimizing prejudice, especially in lowering the extent of corrupt communication usage of the participants while speaking.
Estimating the Effect of Radiative Feedback Uncertainties on Climate Response to Changes in the Concentration of Stratospheric Aerosols

Using the two-box energy balance model (EBM), we explore the climate system response to radiative forcing generated by variations in the concentrations of stratospheric aerosols and estimate the effect of uncertainties in radiative feedbacks on changes in global mean surface temperature anomaly used as an indicator of the response of the climate system to external radiative perturbations. Radiative forcing generated by stratospheric sulfate aerosols from the second-largest volcanic eruption in the 20th century, the Mount Pinatubo eruption in June 1991, was chosen for this research. The global mean surface temperature response to a specified change in radiative forcing is estimated as a convolution of the derived impulse response function corresponding to EBM with a function that describes the temporal change in radiative forcing. The influence of radiative feedback uncertainties on changes in the global mean surface temperature is estimated using several “versions” of the EBM. The parameters for different “versions” were identified by applying a specific procedure for calibrating the two-box EBM parameters using the results of climate change simulations conducted with coupled atmosphere–ocean general circulation models from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (CMIP5). Changes in the global mean surface temperature caused by stratospheric aerosol forcing are found to be highly sensitive not only to radiative feedbacks but also to climate system inertia defined by the effective heat capacity of the atmosphere–land–ocean mixed layer system, as well as to deep-ocean heat uptake. The results obtained have direct implications for a better understanding of how uncertainties in climate feedbacks, climate system inertia and deep-ocean heat uptake affect climate change modelling.
TABOO AVOIDANCES IN KARO LANGUAGE

Civilized society like Karo knows taboo culture and how to avoid it well, so that they can be avoided from social conflict and can live peacefully. However, taboo in language and the way to avoid them are considered increasingly scarce as globalization develops among the current millennial generation. As an effort to provide an understanding about the matter concerned towards future generations, this study describes various ways of avoiding the three types of taboo in Karo: taboo in kinship, i.e. among bengkila and permain, turangku and turangku, and mami and kela; context-speciﬁc taboos, i.e. words derived from non-taboo words, and words related to social and physical defects; and general taboos, i.e. swearing and unmentionable words. This research was conducted using descriptive qualitative with ethnographic method. The data were obtained from the key informants who were from indigenous people of Tanah Karo Regency. It is found that taboos in kinship can be avoided by strategy of third-person intermediary, strategy of metaphor through object, and strategy of using the word nina. Context-specific taboo and general taboo can be avoided by various forms of euphemism. However, taboo of swearing type does not have form of refinement because of its purpose and function as emotive expression.
The Influence of Carbon Management on the Financial Performance of European Companies

This document shows the relationship between carbon management and the financial performance of the European Union’s best market capitalization companies. Different measures are used to understand it by adopting a quantitative approach. After analyzing the validity and reliability of the construct, the study empirically tests its hypotheses by performing a multiple regression analysis with a sample of 497 companies. The study identified how factors related to carbon management could affect the financial performance of European organizations. Furthermore, it recognizes that carbon management affects profitability, in particular, ROA (Return on Assets). The study highlights the differences between companies that are considered sensitive and those that are not, as the management of emission reductions and performance impacts are handled differently.
Development of A Food Categories and Calories Estimation Full Stack System Based on Multi-CNNs Structures

Humans require different food amounts and nutrition depended on age, gender and health. Amount of food intake can create health problems especially for infants, elderly or diabetics. Tradition nutrition booklet is not suitable for most people since it is hard to understand. Thai-foods are hard to extract the nutrition and most of the Thai dishes are not in the book since it focused on Western dishes. This research focused on development on a full stack AI system that categorizes Thai-food dishes, classifies and localizes the ingredients in each dish and estimate nutrition and calories. Multi-Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are used to achieve these categorize, classify and localize tasks. The designed system is separated into AI backend and Mobile application frontend based on OpenCV in an Android smartphone. MobileNet is used as a food categorizer while You-Only-Look-Once (YOLO) network works as the ingredient’s classifier and localizer. Then, ingredients in the pictures are cropped and passed through traditional image processing algorithm with predetermined parameters to calculate and transformed pixel into real-dimension area referenced by Thai coins. Pixel area of non-uniform shape ingredients are segmented and the nutrition and calories can be estimated via a standard reference lookup table. Full stack system is developed in this research based on RESTful protocol with JSON format that used to communicate between a smartphone and AI server. The designed CNNs and full stack system are trained, tested, verified and deployed then the food image captured from a smartphone application can be used to estimated nutrition and calories. Finally, useful information is display on a smartphone screen.
Competitive pricing strategies of multi channel supply chain under direct servicing by the manufacturer

Internet and its accessible devices (e.g., mobiles, computers) are the unmitigated blessings to the people. Nowadays, internet connectivity almost eliminates all kinds of blockades for the verification of authentication, comparison of prices, and services for a product. Consequently, the market has been becoming more competitive compared to decision making. In this paper, we construct a multi-channel supply chain (MCSC) frameworks with traditional channels as well as a direct channel (DC), where the manufacturer provides services to the customers for both the cases. Then the optimal decisions of the manufacturer and the retailers are examined. The optimal pricing decisions and services are discussed and also compared the profits with one another under various cases (Stackelberg settings, strategic alliance, and two types of no improved service). Then the sensitivity of the service cost coefficients and the cross-channel price coefficients on the profits for each player and the supply chain is analyzed. We find out the best profitable strategies under the parameters such as service costs and the positive effects of the service on the demand rate. We also mark out the optimum level of the services so that the profit will be maximized for each player. Finally, we define an interval such that if the service costs belong to that interval, then the selling price of the DC would be lesser than the wholesale price. These findings help companies such as automobiles, electronic goods, etc. to implement the best strategies to increase their profit.
