Credit Card Transaction Fraud Using Machine Learning Algorithms

Credit cards offered significant advantages over all forms of money: they’re pocket size, easily portable, relatively secure and have no intrinsic value themselves. However, payment fraud is an ideal use case for machine learning algorithms and has a long track record of successful use. Machine learning has just been invented, or just been applied to payments fraud for the first time. This paper focuses on the main function of the feature selection in supervised model. The methods used to support the topic are neural net, boosted tree, random forest etc. and the material is credit card transaction data. The conclusion of the research is that banks should deny about 3% clients for balance the profits and loss of goods. A month was spent doing this research with the author’s partners and professor for getting the results as accurate as possible.
Ethnomedicinal uses of plants from Gonda district forests of Uttar Pradesh, India

Fifty-six recipes, along with the details of their mode of application and dosage, are given. Scientific investigations of all such time-tested folk drugs are suggested in the context of claims reported.
Older patients with Hodgkin Lymphoma: Walking the tightrope of efficacy and toxicity

Since its initial description, classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) portends a greatly improved prognosis and the goal of treatment in most patients is cure with minimisation of toxicity from treatment. Outcomes in older patients (>60 years old) lag behind those of their younger counterparts however, and cure remains achievable mostly for those who can tolerate full doses of conventional chemotherapy. This review addresses the difference in biology between younger and older patients with cHL and examines the impact of frailty and comorbidities on outcomes. The toxicities of conventional chemotherapy in anthracycline-fit and -unfit patients are examined, with a particular focus on pulmonary toxicity associated with bleomycin in older patients. New advances are discussed, including the possibility of using more targeted therapies such as the anti-CD30 antibody brentuximab vedotin (BV) and checkpoint inhibitors as a method of reducing dependency on conventional chemotherapy for those less well able to tolerate it. Treatment of older patients with cHL remains an area of unmet need in hematological research, and efforts to rectify this knowledge gap should continue.

Fentanyl transdermico in reumatologia : efficacia e sicurezza a due anni nel trattamento del dolore cronico

Even though new strongly efficacy drugs are available in rheumatology, the problem of "chronic pain" persists. 14 patients affected by rheumatic diseases have been treated with transdermal fentanyl. Aim of this study was to investigate long term positive effects on pain and quality of life. Long-term control of chronic pain was registered in all treated patients. Improvement was reached in pain and in disability. All the items of HAQ improved, too. Pain control allowed 7 patients with seronegative spondyloarthropathies to perform successfully a rehabilitation program. Transdermal fentanyl seems to be a safe and efficacy therapeutic choice in chronic pain.
Study on differentially expressed genes between stage M and stage MS neuroblastoma

Objective To search for the DEGs between stage MS NB and stage M NB and speculate the possible mechanism of spontaneous regression of stage MS NB. Materials and methods The NB datasets GSE49710 and GSE45547 in the GEO database were selected to screen the DEGs between children with NB stage MS vs. stage M, < 18 months. GO enrichment and KEGG pathway analysis of DEGs was performed using DAVID. The intersecting genes among DEGs and RCD-related genes were selected, and their survival roles and functions were assessed. We then used the collected clinical samples to validate the expression of these genes at the protein level using IHC methods and further analysis to explore their role. Results BIRC5, SLCO4A1, POPDC3, and HK2 were found to be downregulated in stage MS NB and related to apoptosis. BIRC5 and HK2 also participate in autophagy. The TF gene is upregulated in stage MS NB and related to ferroptosis. The above five genes are closely related to the survival of children with NB. And the expression levels of all five genes at the protein level were verified by IHC to be consistent with the results of the preliminary screening described above. Conclusion BIRC5, SLCO4A1, POPDC3, HK2 and TF are expected to become new important indicators to predict the prognosis of NB and can be used as the basis for further explored the benign prognosis and spontaneous regression mechanism of stage MS NB.
Anisotropic structure of the Australian continent

The Australian continent preserves some of the oldest lithosphere on Earth in the Yilgarn, Pilbara, and Gawler Cratons. In this study we present shear wave splitting and Ps receiver function results at long running stations across the continent. We use these results to constrain the seismic anisotropic structure of Australia’s cratons and younger Phanerozoic Orogens. For shear wave splitting analysis, we utilize SKS and SKKS phases at 35 broadband stations. For Ps receiver function analysis, which we use to image horizontal boundaries in anisotropy, we utilize 14 stations. Shear wave splitting results at most stations show strong variations in both orientation of the fast direction and delay time as a function of backazimuth, an indication that multiple layers of anisotropy are present. In general, observed fast directions do not appear to be the result of plate motion alone, nor do they typically follow the strike of major tectonic/geologic features at the surface, although we do point out several possible exceptions. Our Ps receiver function results show significant variations in the amplitude and polarity of receiver functions with backazimuth at most stations across Australia. In general, our results do not show evidence for distinctive boundaries in seismic anisotropy, but instead suggest heterogenous anisotropic structure potentially related to previously imaged mid-lithospheric discontinuities. Comparison of Ps receiver function and shear wave splitting results indicates the presence of laterally variable and vertically layered anisotropy within both the thicker cratonic lithosphere to the west, as well as the Phanerozoic east. Such complex seismic anisotropy and seismic layering within the lithosphere suggests that anisotropic fabrics may be preserved for billions of years and record ancient events linked to the formation, stabilization, and evolution of cratonic lithosphere in deep time.
DFT study of trialkylborohydride-catalysed hydrosilylation of alkenes – the mechanism and its implications

Here we present the results of our DFT study of triethylborohydride-catalysed CC bond hydrosilylation reactions. On the basis of the investigation of the potential energy hypersurface at the M06-2X/6-31++G(d,p)//M06-2X/6-31+G(d) level of theory, we propose a detailed mechanism and energy profile for the reaction of styrene with phenylsilane and describe geometric and electronic structures of stationary points corresponding to each step. The model proposed is also applied to a number of other potential reagents, namely 1,1-diphenylethene, propene, dimethylphenylsilane, and trimethylsilane. The results of quantum-chemical computations not only provide a consistent explanation of the high regioselectivity of NaHBEt3-catalysed hydrosilylation, but are also in good agreement with the experimental yields depending on the substrates used, hence they not only further support the mechanism presented, but also make a computational toolkit for predicting reactivities.
Business-Like and Still Serving Society? Investigating the Relationship Between NPOs Being Business-Like and Their Societal Roles

Nonprofit organizations (NPOs) becoming business-like is a contested issue. Some understand the adoption of business-like practices by NPOs as a case of adopting rational myths through institutional isomorphism and thus potentially dangerous for NPOs’ ability to fulfill their unique societal roles. Others are more optimistic, arguing that technical rationality is possible in the adoption of business-like practices, and that such practices can therefore support NPOs in fulfilling a wide range of societal roles. Drawing on survey data of NPOs in Flanders, we examine the relationship between the extent to which NPOs use business-like practices, and the extent to which they engage in various societal roles. We find that business-like practices are weakly related to NPOs’ societal roles. All roles are positively related to nonprofit managerialism and unrelated to NPOs’ reliance on commercial funding. Our results suggest that a certain optimism regarding the rational use of business-like approaches is justified.

Evaluation and Analysis of the Deployment of Green Communication Technology in GSM

This paper presents an evaluation and analysis of the deployment of green communication technology in Nigeria. Most base stations in Nigeria uses diesel generators to power their Cell Sites, this has been identified as a problem if not checked because it will continue to add to the Carbon dioxide emission in the atmosphere and hence the depletion of the ozone layer. Green Communication Technology was proposed to solve this problem. Energy deployed are photovoltaic and wind turbine (PV/WT) energy while diesel generator (DG) will still be used as a backup. With the use of hybrid technology (PV/WT/DG), carbon emission will be reduced by 70% or more, efficiency will be achieved. The results obtained from this research work are based on economics cost, efficiency, power outputs per year and carbon emissions. , in terms of efficiency the DG only system has a mean efficiency output of 8.18% and mean efficiency of 25% while the proposed system has a mean efficiency output of 14.8% and a mean efficiency of 27.5% for PV and 21.3% of WT, electrical production of DG only is 119439kWh/yr while Hybrid Systems (HBS) has electricity production of 124,488kWh/yr, base on life cycle DG only system operate for 3yr and max of 8yrs while HBS operate for 25yrs above, the carbon emissions for DG only system for CO2, CO, NO2 are 75,033, 473, 444kg/yr respectively and HBS for CO2, CO, NO2 is 264, 1.79 and 2.04kg/yr respectively. From the result obtained it can be concluded that the proposed system is better than the existing system, therefore, it can be recommended for GSM operators in Nigeria and any developing nation.
An Examination of Uncivil and Reasoned Comments and Perceived Civility in Politics

This study investigates how exposure to uncivil and reasoned online political comments is related to off-line and online political participation. Data from two online surveys reveal that exposure to uncivil online political comments is negatively related to perceived civility in society, which in turn is positively related to off-line and online political participation. Data also indicate that exposure to reasoned online political comments is positively associated with off-line and online political participation both directly and indirectly through perceived civility. Implications are discussed for political deliberation and uncivil political discourse.
Multi-UAV System Architecture for Environmental Protection Area Monitoring

: Environmental Protection Area (APA) are limited regions that have the main goal to conserve natural resources and the existing natural environment. However, controlling illegal anthropogenic actions in APAs is a diﬃcult task, thus a proper monitoring system is required to solve this problem. In this paper we present a new communication architecture made with a multi Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) network through XBee modules and an image processing system that uses a pretrained neural network to detect human activities in a Coral Reefs Environmental Protection Area (APARC). Simulations prove that the system is able to change data up to 6.3 km and the image processing algorithm was able to detect boats satisfactorily.
Detomidine and xylazine, at different doses, in donkeys (Equus asinus)

The effects of detomidine and xylazine in northeasters donkeys were compared. Six animals participated, randomly, of all experimental groups: xylazine 10%, 0.8 mg/kg (xylazine group 0.8 - GX0.8), 1.0 mg/kg (GX1.0) and 1, 2 mg/kg (GX1.2); and detomidine 1%, 0.02 mg/kg (Detomidine group 0.02 - GD0.02), 0.04 mg/kg (GD0.04) and 0.06 mg/kg (GD0.06) intravenous. Heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate (RR), rectal temperature (RT), mean arterial pressure (MAP), blood glucose, sedation, analgesia, ataxia, arrhythmias and urination were monitored. Duration of sedation was greater in the groups in which detomidine was administered. The muzzle-soil distance significantly reduced in all groups five minutes after the sedative administration, remaining smaller for a longer time in the GD0.06. Ataxia in GX1.0 was greater than in GX0.08 and GX1,2, being equivalent to GD0,04 and GD0,06. Analgesia lasted 30 minutes in GD0.06 and 10 minutes in the others. There was reduction of HR in GD0.02 and GD0.04 and atrioventricular block. There was a reduction in TR in GX1,2, GD0.02, GD0,04 and GD0,06. RR decreased in all groups. MAP increased in GD0.02, GD0.04 and GD0.06 five, 20, 30 and 10 minutes after administration of detomidine, respectively. Hyperglycaemia occurred for 120 minutes in all animals receiving detomidine. The frequency of micturition was higher in GD0.06 (2.2 ± 0.8) than in GX0.8 (0.8 ± 0.4). In northern Brazil, detomidine and xylazine promote short duration analgesia and cardiorespiratory alterations, but detomidine causes a greater sedative, hypertensive and hypothermic effect.
Gastrointestinal stromal tumor of rectum

Although gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) frequently occur in the gastrointestinal tract, they are relatively rare in the rectum. Biopsy of the lesion and immunohistochemistry (IHC) confirm the diagnosis. Complete surgical resection is the principal curative procedure. In combination with surgery, immunotherapy with Imatinib shows cure in intermediate risk and improvement in high risk rectal GIST. We report a case of a 45-yearold female who presented with constipation and generalized weakness, ultimately diagnosed to have rectal GIST. Journal of Surgical Sciences (2015) Vol. 19 (2) : 85-88
GIMF-Based SA for Generation of High Pulse Energy Ultrafast Solitons in a Mode-Locked Linear-Cavity Fiber Laser

A mode-locked high pulse energy fiber laser with a linear cavity by using an all-fiber structured graded index multimode fiber (GIMF) based saturable absorber (SA) is presented. The saturable absorption effect of the SA is based on the nonlinear multimode interference (NL-MMI). This is the first time the GIMF-based SA has been used in a mode-locked all-fiber laser with a linear cavity. The stable fundamental mode-locking operation can still be maintained at the maximum pump power. The output solitons have the center wavelength, spectral width, pulse duration, and repetition rate of 1571 nm, 4 nm, 675 fs, and 11.69 MHz, respectively. The maximum average output power reached is 61.4 mW, corresponding to the pulse energy up to 4.72 nJ and the pulse peak power of 7.79 kW. The proposed GIMF-based SA opens a promising way for a practical fiber-integrated mode-locker for large pulse energy fiber laser technology.
A Real-Time Multi-Camera Depth Estimation ASIC with Custom On-Chip Embedded DRAM

The capability to process high-resolution videos in real-time is becoming more important in a wide variety of applications such as autonomous vehicles, virtual reality or intelligent surveillance systems. The high-accuracy and complex video processing algorithms needed in these applications led to increased challenges for the system design, due to the amount of computations to be processed instantly. Furthermore, video processing algorithms operate on large amounts of data, but storing this data in dense off-chip memories leads to difficulties to meet bandwidth requirements. Hence, high density embedded memories are usually required to temporally store data on-chip, close to the processing units. However, on-chip embedded memories often dominate most of the silicon real-estate and power budget of modern video processing system-on-chips. Considering the current trend toward videos of higher resolutions and faster frame rates, these challenges are expected to dramatically increase in the future. One of the most important kernels required in modern video processing systems is the depth perception, since depth information is needed as input for many advanced video processing algorithms. Depth maps can be created using stereo-matching, which denotes the problem of finding dense correspondences in pairs of images. However, computing high-quality dense depth maps in real-time, on high-resolution images and at high-frame rate is challenging due to the computational complexity of stereo-matching algorithms. Furthermore, their need for large memory sizes and bandwidth limits the performance of depth estimation units, increases their power consumption, and renders them challenging for system integration. In this thesis, we develop task-specific solutions from the algorithmic level to the circuit level that accelerate the computation operations and data transfers, and optimize the on-chip data storage of such depth estimation units. First, we present hardware-oriented stereo-matching algorithms and their hardware implementations, which are tailored to increase parallelism for high throughput while using only on-chip memory to produce high-quality, high-resolution depth maps. Based on that, we propose a multi-camera depth map estimation ASIC implemented in 28 nm, which is capable of computing in real-time up to 2K resolution depth maps at 32 fps with up to 256-pixel disparity range using two/three cameras. Our design achieves the highest disparity range capability at the lowest power consumption and highest frame rate compared to other designs reported in the literature, while computing high-quality depth maps. It also features a stream-in/out interface to be easily integrated in existing vision systems, without additional overhead.
Aluminum in plant: Benefits, toxicity and tolerance mechanisms

Aluminum (Al) is the third most ubiquitous metal in the earth’s crust. A decrease in soil pH below 5 increases its solubility and availability. However, its impact on plants depends largely on concentration, exposure time, plant species, developmental age, and growing conditions. Although Al can be beneficial to plants by stimulating growth and mitigating biotic and abiotic stresses, it remains unknown how Al mediates these effects since its biological significance in cellular systems is still unidentified. Al is considered a major limiting factor restricting plant growth and productivity in acidic soils. It instigates a series of phytotoxic symptoms in several Al-sensitive crops with inhibition of root growth and restriction of water and nutrient uptake as the obvious symptoms. This review explores advances in Al benefits, toxicity and tolerance mechanisms employed by plants on acidic soils. These insights will provide directions and future prospects for potential crop improvement.
A Wall-Mounted Robot Arm Equipped With a 4-DOF Yaw-Pitch-Yaw-Pitch Counterbalance Mechanism

Because industrial robots are relatively heavy, most of motor torque are used to support the weight of a robot. Consequently, high-capacity motors and speed reducers are needed, resulting in a low energy efficiency and an increase in the manufacturing cost. To deal with this problem, a variety of spring-based counterbalance mechanisms (CBM) have been developed to mechanically compensate for the gravitational torque caused by the robot weight and payload. However, conventional CBMs are limited to pitch joints whose axis of rotation is horizontal to the ground and it is difficult to apply them to robot arms with different joint configurations, such as humanoid robot arms. In this study, we propose a CBM with a passive yaw-pitch structure consisting of a spring and wire. Through geometrical analysis and experiments, we demonstrate that the proposed CBM can effectively compensate for the gravitational torque due to robot weight and payload.
