Application of ZigBee-WSN Technology for Indoor Environmental Parameter Monitoring System

Abstract— The four factors that affect comfort of human living are environmental temperature, humidity, light intensity and CO2 concentration in the air. Therefore, in order to intelligently control and improve living environment in real-time monitoring method, a kind of indoor environmental parameter monitoring system is proposed in this paper, which based on ZigBee Wireless Sensor Network. Firstly, we choose the CC2530F256 microprocessor as the main control chip. Secondly, we select the DS18B20 as temperature sensor, the HM1500LF as humidity sensor, the Cds photosensitive resistance LXD3526 as photoelectric sensor and the MG811 as CO2 gas sensor. And then, all the environmental parameters collected from smart home are uploaded to upper PC monitor which belongs to monitoring center for display. After determining device selection, we complete system hardware design by use of Designer Altium 6.9, according to design philosophy of function modularization. This system hardware design mainly consists of three parts, including end device node, router node and coordinator node. Then, this system software design is completed in integrated development environment of Embedded Workbench for IAR 8051 V8.10 by using structured programming ideas. And the main function of this program is to complete collection, display, transmission, alarm and communication tasks of indoor environmental parameters. Afterwards, a test platform is set up, which can carry on testing of all functional modules and overall performance for indoor environmental parameter monitoring system. The test results show that this system can complete predetermined functions with high reliability and practical value, which also providing a reference example of design and development for similar products.
University of Groningen Knowledge and Acceptance Towards Mammography as Breast Cancer Screening Tool Among Yogyakarta Women and Health Care Providers (Mammography Screening in Indonesia) Choridah, Lina; Icanervilia, Ajeng

Annual mammography remains the gold standard of asymptomatic breast cancer screening for women starting at the age of 40. However, Indonesia has not designated mammography as its national screening program. To help policymakers decide whether mammography should be introduced into a national program, it is important to comprehensively understand the knowledge and acceptance of both consumers and providers. A total of 25 subjects including a range of women and health care professionals (HCPs) in Yogyakarta Province were recruited using purposive, maximum variation sampling and then interviewed in-depth. The interviews were recorded and all data were taken and transcribed from the audio recording, which were subsequently translated to English and analyzed thematically. Almost all of Yogyakarta women had heard about the term of mammography. However, only few of them have let themselves be screened, mainly because of their perceived lack of urgency to screen for asymptomatic breast cancer. Another important reason was the high cost of mammography. Meanwhile, several HCPs believed that breast cancer has not been a priority for the government and hence the government limited mammography screening’s access and excluded it from the national insurance coverage. Most women in Yogyakarta have a good understanding about breast cancer screening, but their acceptance of mammography as a breast cancer screening tool is significantly influenced by high cost, limited access, and lack of urgency.
ISHNE/ISCP INTERNET SYMPOSIUM ON CURRENT APPROACHES FOR THE ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION AND ISCHEMIA

In 1940s, just after the implementation of the precordial leads, it was generally considered that there was an anterior infarct (Q in I and VL, and precordials), and a posterior one (Q in II, III, VF.(1) In the 1950s, some authors (2) indicated that the posterior infarction, which was the one that was in contact with the diaphragm, would be better called inferior or diaphragmatic. When Perloff (3) coined the concept of a strict posterior infarct to explain the RS morphology in V1 through V2, the expression was considered fortunate because it explained what was clear for this electrocardiographic patent, since this necrosis affected the basal part of the inferior wall that was thought to go always upwards and that, for this reason, was denominated the authentic or strict posterior wall. He was then correct to think that the infarct of what was called the strictly posterior wall originated a vector of necrosis that travelled from the back to the front and that was manifested by an RS in V1 through V2, an expression of the Q wave that was recorded in the back (Figure 1 below).

Do Coffee Agroforestry Systems Always Improve Soil Carbon Stocks Deeper in the Soil?—A Case Study from Turrialba, Costa Rica

Shaded perennial agroforestry systems (AFS) are regarded as desirable land-use practices that improve soil carbon sequestration. However, most studies assume a positive correlation between above ground and below ground carbon without considering the effect of past and current land management, textural variations (silt and clay percentage), and such other site-specific factors that have a major influence on the extent of soil C sequestration. We assessed SOC stock at various depths (0–10, 10–30, 30–60, and 60–100 cm) in shaded perennial coffee (Coffea arabica L.) AFS in a 17-year-old experimental field at the Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza, (9°53′44′′ N, 83°40′7′′ W; soil type: Ultisols and Inceptisols, Turrialba, Costa Rica. The treatments included coffee (Coffea arabica L.) grown conventionally (with chemical fertilizers) and organically (without chemical fertilizers) under two shade trees, Erythrina poeppigiana (Walp.) O.F. Cook. , and Terminalia Amazonia J.F. Gmel. , Sun Coffee (Coffea arabica L.) (Sole stand of coffee without shade), and Native Forest. Three replicated composite soil samples were collected from each system for each depth class, and SOC stocks in three soil aggregate fractions (2000–250 µm, 250–53 µm, and <53 µm) and in the whole soil determined. The total SOC stocks were highest under forest (146.6 Mg C ha−1) and lowest under sun coffee (92.5 Mg C ha−1). No significant differences were noted in SOC stock within coffee AFS and sun coffee across fraction sizes and depth classes. Organic management of coffee under heavily pruned E. poeppigiana, with pruned litter returned to soil, increased SOC stocks for 0–10 cm depth soil only. High input of organic materials including pruned litter did not improve SOC stocks in deeper soil, whereas variations in silt and clay percentages had a significant effect on SOC stocks. The study suggests that high amounts of aboveground biomass alone are not a good indicator of increased SOC storage in AFS, particularly for soils of sites with historical characteristics and management similar to this study.
PEXESO: Finding Joinable Tables by Distance-based Similarities

Finding joinable tables from massive data lakes is an important problem with many applications in data integration, data (feature) augmentation, data analysis, and data market. For example, when we hold a POS (point-of-sale) table of a store and want to build a machine learning model of sales prediction, we can search for local customer profile tables or weather tables, then join them together to add features and train a high-quality model. Existing works on finding joinable tables only focus on the exact or similarity join of columns with string data, and no one involves the numerical data. However, there are also many applications for numerical data such as similarity join on the columns with location (spatial) data, image data, and the numerical vectors which are transformed from textual data by (word, document, graph, etc.) embedding techniques. The similarity between numerical data is normally measured by distance-based similarity functions (e.g. L2 distance). If two numerical columns have enough matched values, it may make sense to say that they are joinable. This problem can be formalized to a threshold similarity search problem on a huge collection of sets, and each set contains a collection of numerical vectors. In this paper, we define a novel searching problem to find joinable tables with distance-based similarities on numerical data. To solve this problem, we developed PEXESO, a general framework that handles arbitrary threshold values and a large space of similarity functions. PEXESO groups similar vectors with a pivot-base group structure to reduce a huge number of distance computations when determining joinable between two sets. To further reduce the computations, PEXESO takes advantage of the dominating relations between groups in different sets to prune candidate sets and groups. Experiments on real and synthetic datasets demonstrate the efficiency of our method and its superiority over baseline solutions.
Genetic Diversity and Identification of Vietnamese Paphiopedilum Species Using DNA Sequences

Paphiopedilum is among the most popular ornamental orchid genera due to its unique slipper flowers and attractive leaf coloration. Most of the Paphiopedilum species are in critical danger due to over-exploitation. They were listed in Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, which prevents their being traded across borders. While most Paphiopedilum species are distinctive, owing to their respective flowers, their vegetative features are more similar and undistinguished. Hence, the conservation of these species is challenging, as most traded specimins are immature and non-flowered. An urgent need exists for effective identification methods to prevent further illegal trading of Paphiopedilum species. DNA barcoding is a rapid and sensitive method for species identification, at any developmental stage, using short DNA sequences. In this study, eight loci, i.e., ITS, LEAFY, ACO, matK, trnL, rpoB, rpoC1, and trnH-psbA, were screened for potential barcode sequences on the Vietnamese Paphiopedilum species. In total, 17 out of 22 Paphiopedilum species were well identified. The studied DNA sequences were deposited to GenBank, in which Paphiopedilum dalatense accessions were introduced for the first time. ACO, LEAFY, and trnH-psbA were limited in amplification rate for Paphiopedilum. ITS was the best single barcode. Single ITS could be used along with nucleotide polymorphism characteristics for species discrimination. The combination of ITS + matK was the most efficient identification barcode for Vietnamese Paphiopedilum species. This barcode also succeeded in recognizing misidentified or wrongly-named traded samples. Different bioinformatics programs and algorithms for establishing phylogenetic trees were also compared in the study to propose quick, simple, and effective tools for practical use. It was proved that both the Bayesian Inference method in the MRBAYES program and the neighbor-joining method in the MEGA software met the criteria. Our study provides a barcoding database of Vietnamese Paphiopedilum which may significantly contribute to the control and conservation of these valuable species.
Systematic Evaluation of Systemic Right Ventricular Function

Background: The right ventricle serves as the subaortic systemic ventricle (sysRV) in patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA) and in patients with transposition of the great arteries (TGA) surgically repaired by an atrial switch. SysRV can lead to late complications, primarily heart failure, significant regurgitation of the systemic atrioventricular (AV) valve, and ventricular arrhythmias with sudden cardiac death. We sought to investigate the value of 2D- and 3D-echocardiographic parameters of sysRV function. Methods: Consecutive adult patients with sysRV who presented at the adult congenital heart disease outpatient clinic were prospectively enrolled. All patients received comprehensive transthoracic echocardiography, including 3D-echocardiography, cardiac magnetic-resonance-imaging (CMR), cardiopulmonary-exercise-testing, and blood analysis for NT-proBNP. Results. A total of 27 patients were included, 18 with TGA and nine with ccTGA. Median age was 37 years (Q1 = 31, Q3 = 44), 44% were male, median NT-proBNP was 189 pg/mL (Q1 = 155, Q3 = 467); sufficient 3D-echocardiography datasets were acquired in 78% of patients. All echocardiographic 2D and 3D volumetric function parameters correlated with CMR data, whereas a correlation was not seen with any of the longitudinal function parameters. NT-proBNP correlated with tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (r = −0.43, p = 0.02) and CMR ejection fraction (EF) (r = −0.62, p = 0.003). Conclusion: Systematic evaluation of sysRV is complex and should include not only volumetric parameters but also parameters of longitudinal function in addition to measurement of NT-proBNP. In patients with good image quality, 3D-echocardiography can be used to assess volumes and EF.
Evolution of Innovation Network Governance Mode from Analysis of University Spin-Off Companies’ Growth: a Case Study of Neusoft Group

This paper optimized the transaction cost-embeddedness approach, and applied it to the growth of university spin-off companies. The growth process of Neusoft Group is discussed in details, and the corresponding network governance mode of every growth stage is analyzed as following: at the venture stage, the businesses have limited strength, and need to be embedded to the university’s network for resources; at the growing stage where they are growing, and already have some resources, the businesses are still in need of investment and technical support from universities, and then a semi-embedded network governance mode is employed; at the grown stage, the businesses have become almost completely independent, and they own and control the strategic network resources which support their edge-leading services, so that the union governance mode is applied. The conclusions can be drawn from the growth process of university spin-off companies that the evolution of innovation network governance has obvious regularity.
A New Efficient Approach for Designing FIR Low-pass Filter and Its Application on ECG Signal for Removal of AWGN Noise

Abstract—In this paper, a new class of adjustable window function, based on combination of tangent hyperbolic function and a weighted cosine series, is proposed to design an FIR filter. The proposed window has only one adjustable parameter “r”. By varying this parameter, it is possible to change the spectral characteristics of the filter. The performance of the proposed window is compared with Gaussian and Kaiser windows. The proposed window has slightly larger main–lobe width compare to the commonly used Gaussian and Kaiser windows, while featuring 19.71 dB and 8.29 dB smaller ripple ratios respectively. Moreover the side-lobe roll-off ratio of the proposed window is almost 115.03 dB and 14.95 dB better than the Gaussian and Kaiser windows respectively. Simulation results show that the filter designed by the proposed window, yields 4.45 dB and 30.69 dB smaller ripple ratios and 7.7 times and 5 times better side-lobe roll-off ratios than those of Gaussian and Kaiser windows respectively. This paper also highlights an application of the proposed method in the area of eliminating noise from corrupted ECG signals.
Lower Limb Rehabilitation Using Motorized Therapeutic Training for Paraplegia

Gait recovery is an essential part of rehabilitation of the patient affected by the lower limb disorder result in loss of motion. This is caused due to paraplegia results in impairment in the motor function that would affect the legs and it is additionally termed as leg paralysis. The disorder is also seen in the children and if it is not treated at the initial stage it would cause the loss of muscular activity in the lower part of the body which includes both the legs. Treatment would consist of rehabilitation that is used to restore the functional ability of the lower limb. The concept of the body support harness is implemented to enhance the locomotion rehabilitation. The rehabilitation is carried out by the motor controlled foot pedal that prepares or trains the muscles that is associated with the movement. At the start of the training passive movement is given to the lower limb muscles at slow speed and decrease spasticity. The automated robotic device is designed to move along with the patient inside the frame. It would eliminate the patient restricted to specific zone of training. The result of the gait rehabilitation training aims to bring the daily activity in the paraplegic person and furthermore it helps to regain the independent walking ability towards the end of the rehabilitation training.
Does trade integration contribute to synchronization of economic shocks in Europe?

Abstract: This paper examines two related issues: the convergence of shocks in NMS to their EU counterparts through time, and the effect of trade integration on the distributions of shocks. The decision to adopt the euro will be associated with higher implicit costs for new EU member states (NMS) with a more asymmetric shock structure. I employ the Kalman filter to calculate time varying regression coefficients relating previously identified structural shocks in NMS and the EU. Results in general show no convergence for shocks identified based on the BlanchardQuah restriction. Supply and demand shocks do not become increasingly symmetric. Results suggest that the catching up process in NMS is slowing down. Additionally, there is no strong evidence suggesting that trade integration increased synchronization of shocks between the existing EU members and the newcomers. This is true also for the period after joining the union.
EAGLE EYE ON CLOUD ASSISTED MOBILE ACCESS OF PATIENTS HEALTH INFORMATION

139 Abstract— Inspired by privacy issues, the technique is developed with the aim to give secure environment i n cloud health. Responsibility about patient privacy and confidentiality is as old as the practice of medicine. Medical prov iders and Institutions are the central to store patient’s records. The desire to protect privacy is in part an outgrowth of a common human wish to live free of encroachment, judgment, inferi ority complex. This technique provides important characte ristics like privacy-preserving data storage and retrieval and a uditability to avoid miss using of health records. In this we sear ch over encrypted data thus hides access and search pattern s. Searchable symmetric algorithm and elliptical curve cryptography are used here.
PulseWidthModulation forMulti-Agent Systems ?

This paper studies the consensus problem for multi-agent systems. A distributed consensus algorithm is developed by constructing homogenous pulse width modulators for agents in the network. In particular, a certain percentage of the sampling period named duty cycle is modulated according to some state difference with respect to the neighbors at each sampling instant. During each duty cycle, the amplitude of the pulse is fixed. The proposed pulse width modulation scheme enables all agents to sample asynchronously with arbitrarily large sampling periods. It provides an alternative digital implementation strategy for multi-agent systems. We show that consensus is achieved asymptotically under the proposed scheme. The results are compared with the self-triggered ternary controller.

Simulation of Fuel Tank Model in A Hybrid Framework

This paper presents the modeling and simulation of fuel tank model in a hybrid framework. Hybrid Dynamical Systems (HDS) show the characteristics of both continuous dynamical system and discrete dynamical system. The modeling of such Hybrid Systems is difficult because not only both continuous and discrete behaviors are present but also interact with each other. In this paper fuel tank model is modeled using the hybrid framework and to simulate the continuous as well as discrete behavior of the fuel tank model, SIMULINK and STATEFLOWpackages of MATLAB are used.
The Logistic Regression Analysis with Nonparametric Approach based on Local Scoring Algorithm (Case Study: Diabetes Mellitus Type II Cases in Surabaya of Indonesia)

One of the statistical methods used to analyze the relationship between categorical scale response variable and categorical or continuous variable of predictors is logistic regression analysis. There are two ways of approaching regression model. The global approach assumes that the regression model for each individual observation has the same parameters, whereas the local approach assumes not all individuals have the same parameters. Regression model with local approach is often called nonparametric regression. The purpose of this research will be to develop the risk model of Diabetes Mellitus Type II incidence in patients of The Hajj General Hospital of Surabaya with nonparametric logistic regression approach by the local scoring algorithm. Based on the result of this research concluded that the probability of a person's risk of Diabetes Mellitus Type II increases with age up to about 60 years and after that tends to decrease, the more the increase in one's BMI there is a significant increase in the prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus Type II. The validity of the estimation of this obtained model is 88.89%.
Evidence for Low Residue Diet in the Management of Gastrointestinal Related Conditions

The low residue diet is commonly recommended for pre-colonoscopy bowel preparation as well as in the management of some gastrointestinal conditions including inflammatory bowel disease. There is no objective measurement for residue, resulting in poor standardisation of a low residue diet. This review examines the efficacy of a low residue diet in the management of gastrointestinal conditions. A literature search was conducted in Medline and the Cochrane Library, and eight randomised controlled trials with human subjects met the inclusion criteria. Six studied the low residue diet for pre-colonoscopy bowel preparation, the other two were conducted in Crohn's disease and post-gynaecological surgery, respectively. The low residue diet was comparable to the clear liquid diet for bowel preparation without increased side-effects. Post-gynaecological surgery, early feeding using low residue diet decreased nausea without increasing gastrointestinal symptoms when compared to the traditional feeding method. There was limited evidence on the advantage of a low residue diet over a normal diet in the management of acute, non-stenosing Crohn's disease. More rigorous studies are required to evaluate the efficacy of the low residue diet for the management of gastrointestinal conditions. In addition, substituting a low residue diet with a low fibre diet would be a more measurable and objective method to standardise guidelines both for research and therapy.
