Driver Status Monitoring System in Autonomous Driving Era Driver Status Estimation with Time-series Deep Learning

We propose a novel driver’s status estimation system based on driver’s behavior in autonomous driving scene. In future years, drivers are expected to be responsible for driving and monitoring the surrounding environment even in autonomous driving. To monitor the driver status is very important to ensure that he/she stays proper condition during driving. We define new criteria to measure the adequateness level of the driver during autonomous driving, and realize real-time driver status monitoring based on the criteria. It will contribute to decrease the risk of traffic accidents. To measure driver’s status precisely, we utilize two features: 1st one is driver’s facial information, i
BIOLOGICAL ASPECTS AND THERMAL REQUIREMENTS OF THE BIRD CHERRY-OAT APHID, Rhopalosiphum padi (LINNAEUS), REARED ON WHEAT SEEDLINGS

It was higher at both 15 and 20C as 50.2 and 53.429 progenies/female, respectively. The longest life span was recorded at 15C as 49.47±16.43days. This duration decreased to 34.05±6.22 and 19.47±4.16 days at 20C and 25C, respectively. The lower developmental threshold (t0) for the R. padi nymphal instars; first, second, third and fourth were 2.216, 6.958, 3.432 and 0.164C, respectively. The estimated t0 values for the life-cycle and generation time were 3.537 and 3.976 C, respectively. The thermal requirements (K) for each nymphal instar; first, second, third and fourth were, life-cycle and generation time were 45.97, 23.43, 30.97, 47.14, 142.56 and 154.15 dgree-days units, respectively.
USING XYLANASE, FRESH OR WHEY POWDER ALONE OR IN COMBINATION FOR IMPROVING LOW ENERGY BROILER DIET CONTAINING WHEAT BRAN

he aim of this study is examine the ability of xylanase (XY), fresh whey (FW), dried whey (DW) alone or in combination to improve broiler low energy diet containing 30% wheat bran (WB). This experiment conducted in Egypt from April to May (23.9 C-34.8C). Two hundred and ten unsexed Cobb broiler chicks seven days old were randomly distributed into seven treatments received control diet, WB (30%) diet,WB+0.1%XY, WB+1% FW,WB+ 0.5% DW, WB+ XY +1% FW or WB+ XY + 0.5 % DW. At 35 days. Birds fed WB diet recorded significantly higher body weight by 2.43% compared to control diet. The birds fed WB +XY was significantly higher in body weight compared to all treatments. Dried whey failed in affecting performance of WB diet. Addition of XY to WB diet significantly increased carcass percentage compared to WB diet or control diet. Wheat bran diet alone increased plasma globulin and phosphorus by 114.8 and 48.54 %, respectively compared to control diet. Xylanase is a suitable additive for WB diet. It could be concluded that the diets containing 30 % wheat bran low energy diet alone or with 0.1% Xylanase improve broiler performance under condition of this study.

EFFECT OF EARLY FEED RESTRICTION ON BROILER PERFORMANCE, BLOOD AND CARCASS PARAMETERS UNDER SUMMER CONDITIONS.

This research work was designed to study early feed restriction effects on broiler production during Egyptian summer. One hundred ninety eight unsexed Cobb-500 broiler chickens were divided to six experimental treatments with three equal replications. All chicks were free fed starter diet during the first week. In the second week, the chicks in the control group were fed the starter diet ad libitum, but feed intake of the other experimental groups were restricted at levels of 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40%, respectively from the feed intake of the control group. At 2 weeks of age, one bird from each replicate was sacrificed to obtain blood samples. All the experimental chicks were free fed basal grower diet from 14 to 42 days-old. Broiler performance was evaluated by live weight, feed consumed and feed conversion. Carcass parameters and some blood constituents were also measured. The current results showed that feed restriction improved the marketing live body weight, feed utilization and economical efficiency of treated broiler chicks, with no negative effect on either carcass traits or blood parameters. It could be concluded that early feed restriction during the second week of life up to 35% of ad libitum feeding can enhance the marketing weight and improve the feed conversion of broilers as compared to the control treatment under summer conditions in Egypt.
Fundamental Financial Information as a Signal of Company Value

The information contained in the financial statements is a means to communicate company performance. Good company performance will be responded positively by investors in the capital market, so that the company's stock price will increase. This research examines some fundamental factors in a company by using the information contained in the statements of comprehensive income and financial position (balance sheet) to explaining changes in company value. This research was carried out using a survey method in data collection of companies listed in the business index 27 from 2016 to 2018. Using statistical tests with path analysis, conducted for 17 companies, showed mixed results for every financial information contained in the balance sheet. The results of this research indicate that Cash Equivalent, Cost of Goods Sold, and Gross Profit have an overall/total effect on the value of the company that is greater than the direct effect. Meanwhile, Depreciation Expense and operating profit showed the different result. These two variables actually have a total effect on firm value that is lower than the direct effect.
A Totalitarian Technique For Wormhole Detection Using Big Data Analytics In Iot Network

: Internet of Things is one of the most important paradigm in current world which allows connectivity and communication between heterogeneous devices so as to achieve better synchronization and automation with control. These days Internet of Things have gained immense popularity as they function without major requirements of infrastructure and they can function without any central controlling authority. In order to implement communication between devices many sensors are used to collect data, process it, encrypt (e.g. using AES-128, RSA, DSA) and upload it to the cloud. There is huge presence of IoT devices which generates voluminous data called as big data in medical, military, banking and marketing fields but poor security features make it easy for attackers to perform both active attacks and passive attacks. Hence one of the primary objectives is to make this network secure by identifying presence of malicious wormhole which can mitigate in a mobile ad-hoc network. In this proposed paper we will compare various existing wormhole detection techniques in IoT Network and will propose an efficient algorithm which will evaluate the routing tables of nodes connected to IoT Network on the basis of path used, frequency of presence of nodes in table along with threshold value generated by nodes using big data analytics.

Clinical and Pathogenic Characteristics of Lower Respiratory Tract Infection Treated at the Vietnam National Children's Hospital

Lower respiratory tract infections are commonly caused by viruses and cause significant morbidity and mortality among children. Early identification of the pathological agent causing these infections is essential to avoid unnecessary antibiotic use and improve patient management. Multiplex PCR techniques were recently developed to detect multiple viral pathogens using a single PCR reaction. In this study, we identify viral pathogens in children with respiratory infections. We collected 194 nasopharyngeal aspirates from infants (2–24 months old) with lower respiratory tract infections treated at the Vietnam National Children's Hospital between November 2014 and June 2015 and assessed the presence of 16 virus types and subtypes by multiplex PCR using the xTAG Respiratory Viral Panel (RVP) assay. Overall, 73.7% of the samples were positive for at least one virus, and 24.2% corresponded to infections with multiple viruses. The most common viruses were respiratory syncytial virus and enterovirus/rhinovirus. These viruses were more frequent among younger patients (2–5 months old) and caused symptoms similar to those of bronchiolitis and pneumonia. The most common clinical manifestation caused by respiratory tract infection was bronchiolitis. Elevated neutrophils levels were associated with adenovirus infection. Our results showed that the xTAG Respiratory Viral Panel (RVP) can effectively detect multiple viruses causing respiratory infections in children and that the nasopharyngeal aspirates are a good sample choice to detect respiratory viruses in children. Applying this approach in the clinical setting would improve patient management and allow early diagnosis, thus avoiding the unnecessary use of antibiotics.

Phytoremediation of Mercury Contaminated Soil with the Addition of Compost

Phytoremediation is an alternative technology for processing mercury (Hg) contaminated soil. The objective of this study was to treat Hg contaminated soil by adding compost using Sansevieria trifasciata and Celosia plumosa . The variations of the composition of the growth media were 100% contaminated soil and 80% contaminated soil with 20% compost. The plants used were aged 1 month and 30 cm high. The reactor was a polybag with a diameter and height of 25 cm. Sampling was conducted once every 7 days for 28 days. This research showed that the reactor with growth media consisting of 80% contaminated soil and 20% compost with Sansevieria trifasciata and Celosia plumosa had an Hg removal efficiency of 75.63% (58 mg/kg) and 66.81% (79 mg/kg), respectively. The Hg removal efficiency with growth media consisting of 100% contaminated soil was 74.79% (60 mg/kg) and 65.55% (82 mg/kg) in the reactor with Sansevieria trifasciata and Celosia plumosa respectively.
Occurrence of Cryptococcus neoformans in the excreta of urban pigeons in the municipality of Redenção in Amazônia, Brazil

Introduction: Currently, urban ecosystems have become increasingly conducive to pigeons, and the population of these birds has increased significantly in several parts of the world, including Brazil; this increase has become an environmental and public health problem. Materials and Methods: The objective of this research was to describe the occurrence of Cryptococcus neoformans in the excreta of pigeons in public places in the municipality of Redencao, Para, Brazil. It is a cross-sectional, quantitative, and descriptive study. Ten neighborhoods were selected, where 5 samples from each were collected, for a total of 50 units of material. Fungus was identified through suspended excreta with a sterile 0.9% sodium chloride solution, followed by seeding on Sabouraud Dextrose agar plus chloramphenicol. A direct examination of the colonies with Chinese ink was done in triplicate to observe the suggestive micromorphology of C. neoformans. A confirmatory identification test was performed by the urease production test. Results: Of the 50 samples examined, 16.0% (n = 8) were positive for C. neoformans , and in the 10 neighborhoods studied, 60.0% (n = 6) were positive for the fungus. Conclusions: The results showed that half of the positive samples were found in only two neighborhoods, suggesting that the presence of C. neoformans in a public place in the studied city can be considered a potential source of infection for humans and animals. Keywords: Pigeons; Excreta; Cryptococcus neoformans ; Environmental microbiology.
Interpretable Instance-Based Text Classification for Social Science Research Projects

In this study, two groups of respondents have evaluated explanations generated from an instance-based explanation method called WITE (Weighted Instance-based Text Explanations). One group consisted of 24 non-experts who answered a web survey about the words characterising the concepts of the classes and the other group consisted of three senior researchers and three respondents from a media house in Sweden who answered a questionnaire with open questions. The data used originates from one of the researchers’ project on media consumption in Sweden. The results from the non-experts indicate that WITE identified many words that corresponded to the human understanding but also included some insignificant or contrary words as important. In the results from the expert evaluation, there were indications that there is a risk that the explanations could persuade the users of the correctness of a prediction, even if it is incorrect. Consequently, the study indicates that an explanation method could be seen as a new actor which is able to persuade and interact with the humans and cause a change in the results of the classification of a text.
A Cellular Automata model for Dictyostelium Discoideum

Cellular automata are abstract mathematical tools used for modelling many different types of system. The aim of cellular automata is to create complex behaviour through the interaction of many simple behaviours. Dictyostelium discoideum is a slime mould with an unusual life cycle which causes individual cells to come together and act as a multicellular organism. This report presents the modelling of Dictyostelium using a cellular automaton, with the aim of reproducing its co-operative behaviour. We discuss the issues involved when attempting to model a conservative system such as a dictyostelium colony using cellular automata, and show that it is possible to create sophisticated behaviour that mimics the behaviour of the real organism using a small set of simple rules.
Perceived Usability of Educational Chemistry Game Gathered via CSUQ Usability Testing in Indonesian High School Students

Educational game is now a commonplace among students and teachers alike. Recent researches show that studies regarding educational game general effectiveness in the learning environment are nothing new. However, usability studies in the educational game are rather rare compared to general non-game-related usability studies. This research synthesizes the result obtained from the Computer System Usability Questionnaire (CSUQ) and separated between multiple students pre-existing grouping such as genders, prior knowledge, as well as experimental treatment setup such as materials given before the game session. The metrics are tested in an Indonesian high school by using an educational game of chemistry regarding the topic of reaction rate with a total of 53 participants. General results show that there exist many differences of perceived usability aspects between male and female students, the existence of learning materials given before the game session, as well as the existence of students' prior knowledge. Overall, the main findings of this research show that usability in the educational game is affected by gender, materials existence, and previous knowledge existence.

Comparison of Auditory Steady State Evoked Potentials Threshold in Preterm and Term Infant at Four Stages in Indian Population

Background: As preterm neonates’ auditory system is underdeveloped, there is a need for auditory monitoring of this population. Electrophysiological thresholds measured through Auditory Steady-State Response (ASSR) which is an objective method were higher in preterm than in full term babies. However there was no difference at 18 months of age between preterm and term babies showing the auditory maturation of preterm infants throughout their development. It is not known at what month ASSR threshold equals for preterm and term babies. It is also not clear about these thresholds in Indian population. Objective: The purpose of this study is to compare the ASSR thresholds in preterm and term infants evaluated at four stages (after birth, nine months, twelve months and fifteen months) in Indian population. Materials & Methods: The study included 120 normal hearing neonates: 60 preterm and 60 term babies. Then neonates underwent assessment of ASSR in both ears simultaneously through insert phones in the frequencies of 500 to 4000Hz with mixed modulation was used. We presented the intensity at a decreasing level to detect the minimum level of responses. At 9, 12, 15 months, 60 preterm infants returned for the new assessment for ASSR and were compared with 60 full-term infants. The data were compared between groups according to gestational age. Results: Electrophysiological thresholds were higher in preterm than in full-term neonates (p < 0.05) at the first, second and third testing (at birth, 9 & 12 months). At 15 months, there was no difference between groups (p > 0.05) in all frequency thresholds (500 Hz, 1000Hz, 2000Hz &4000Hz) Conclusion: In the first, second and third evaluation preterm had higher thresholds in ASSR. There was no difference in fourth evaluation (at 15 months of age) showing the auditory maturation of preterm infants throughout their development. This maturation completes with in fifteen months, three months earlier as compared to previous study.
Does Helium Pneumoperitoneum Reduce the Hyperinflammatory Response in Septic Animals during Laparoscopy?

Background/Aim. An exacerbated reaction to peritoneal infection and attendant surgical procedures is characterized by an intense hyperinflammatory state, the magnitude of which is proportional to the severity of tissue injury. Laparoscopy generates lower levels of tissue damage compared with open surgery and should induce less pronounced immune responses. The aim of this study was to determine whether laparoscopy assisted by helium rather than carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum would induce an attenuated inflammatory state in septic animals. Materials and Methods. Thirty-two Wistar rats were divided randomly into four equal groups, two of which were submitted to carbon dioxide or helium pneumoperitoneum-assisted laparoscopic cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) induced sepsis and subsequent abdominal lavage. Two control groups were submitted to identical laparoscopic procedures with carbon dioxide or helium as insufflator gas but without CLP. After 24 hours, serum levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukins 1 and 6 (IL-1 and IL-6, respectively), and cortisol were determined. Results Mean concentrations of I L-1 and IL-6 in the groups of septic animals submitted to laparoscopy with carbon dioxide or helium pneumoperitoneum were not significantly different but were significantly higher than those of their respective non-CLP controls. In contrast, the levels of TNF-α), interleukins 1 and 6 (IL-1 and IL-6, respectively), and cortisol were determined. Conclusions Laparoscopy with helium insufflation was similar to carbon dioxide in relation to the inflammatory response since levels of the proinflammatory TNF-α, IL-1, and IL-6 and of the anti-inflammatory cortisol were comparable for both gases. α), interleukins 1 and 6 (IL-1 and IL-6, respectively), and cortisol were determined.
