Text annotation using textual semantic similarity and term-frequency (Twitter)

Researchers on social-media understandably assert that the contributions social media has made on various sectors is massive. Business development managers today have directed a huge amount of effort in strategizing efficient collaboration with both customers and other organizations using social-media. Despite the visible impact social media has made, a lot of digitally shared information is yet to be revealed. Gradually twitter has become the main hub for many Information system researchers, because tweets can freely be accessible in real-time by any one. Motivated by earlier studies where IS researchers addressed big-data analysis and management by employing content analysis techniques, this paper proposes a novel approach to perform unsupervised classification of the tweets into different labels. It introduces a unique algorithm that uses semantic similarity between texts, Term-frequency and a determinant threshold to perform content analysis. The goal of this approach is to extract relevant features from a tweet thus reducing dimension and preparing training datasets that would be used to build classifiers.
Localization of field robots using RTK-GNSS/INS systems

When dealing with autonomous robots one of the most important tasks is to estimate an accurate and precise localization of the robot and his surroundings. The success of simple tasks as navigation and mapping depend on a good robot’s position knowledge. The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and the Inertial Navigation System (INS) are two navigation systems commonly used nowadays that can be used to determine the robot’s localization. Both systems have advantages and disadvantages, but they can complement each other when fused together in a GNSS/INS Navigation System. In this dissertation, it is going to explain the main problems when using this type of systems and how to reduce them. It’s also explained and implemented a data fusion of both systems in order to achieve a higher precision. In the last chapter the implemented fusion is tested, and compared with others GNSS receivers available in the market with different prices and characteristics.
Biological Effect of Naturally Occurring Mycotoxins Fed to Poults Reared to 21 Days of Age

3 Abstract: A trial was conducted to observe potential changes in turkey poults reared to 21 d by feeding diets with naturally occurring mycotoxins. Two sources of corn, one each with Aflatoxin (AFL) and Deoxynevalenol (DON), were obtained. Treatments (T) were: 1) clean corn (C), 2) AFL (A), 3) DON (D) and 4) ½A+½D (AD). A marker (celite, 1.5%) was added for 21 d AMEn determination. A basal ration with ingredients except corn was mixed. The basal and corn were mixed for T feeds. Feed was pelleted and crumbled. Male poults were placed into 24 pens in petersyme batteries (7 birds/pen; 6 pens/T). Feed consumption, by pen and BW were determined by wk. At 21 d, birds were euthanized. Heart (H), spleen (S), gizzard (G), liver (L) and bursa of fabricious (B) were weighed and Breast Muscle (BM) collected for color analysis. Light microscopic analysis of HE AD = 2,758±29). Relative (R) S weight of D (0.11) fed birds was reduced versus A (0.14) but not C or AD (0.12, 0.13±0.006 g/g). The RL weight of birds fed A (2.26) and AD (2.52) were reduced versus C (2.68±0.07g/g). The A fed birds had reduced SA (by OD). Mortality, RH, RB and RG weights, G score and BM colors were not affected. There were no differences in AB. The L of the A fed birds had hepatic parenchyma with diffuse degenerative changes. The hepatocytic nuclei were swollen and had condensed nucleoli. Some hepatic cords had hepatocyte necrosis. There was some sinusoidal congestion with dilatation/congestion of few central veins. These lesions were suggestive of aflatoxin toxicity. The effects of AFL and DON in this study were reflective of what has been reported in the literature. Feeding naturally occurring mycotoxins to poults can be used as a model to study interventions.
Infection and development of Plasmodiophora brassicae in resistant and susceptible canola cultivars

Abstract Commercial cultivars of canola with resistance to clubroot (Plasmodiophora brassicae) have been registered recently in Canada. However, little is known about how and when resistance is expressed. Time series assessments of root hair infection and cortical infection were made in four cultivars that differed in reaction to two pathotypes, P3 and P6 (Williams' system), of P. brassicae. The cultivars were ‘45H29’ (resistant), ‘InVigor 5030’ (moderately resistant), ‘46A76’ (susceptible) and ‘45H21’ (susceptible to P3, resistant to P6). For assessment of root hair infection (RHI), seedlings were harvested at 4, 8 and 12 days after inoculation (DAI). For assessment of cortical colonization (% root area occupied by the pathogen), plants were harvested at 16, 22 and 28 DAI. In compatible interactions (susceptible cultivar × virulent pathotype), RHI developed quickly and was slower in intermediate and incompatible interactions. The maximum RHI for both compatible and incompatible interactions was 65–70%; maximum RHI was slightly but significantly lower (59%) in the intermediate interaction type. At 28 DAI, cortical colonization was high in ‘46A76’ (P3 = 45%, P6 = 35%), intermediate in ‘InVigor 5030’ (P3 = 23%, P6 = 16%), and no colonization (0%) was observed for either pathotype in ‘45H29’. In ‘45H21’, cortical colonization by P3 was high (35%), but inoculation with P6 resulted in no colonization. In the compatible interactions, cortical colonization by P3 was consistently higher than by P6. There were small differences in the pattern of RHI associated with resistance, but resistance was most clearly expressed during secondary infection and development.
FREE USER BEHAVIOR INFORMATION FROM CENTRAL DATABASE USING WEB USAGE MINING

: Web mining is the recent variation of data mining technique which is concerned to web data that results through various web activities. This application of data mining technique is used to discover patterns from the Web. Web usage mining is an important technology for understanding user’s behaviors on the web which is the process of extracting useful information from server logs. User leaves some valuable information in web logs when user browses web pages. The knowledge from the data collected in log file is automatically discovered through web usage mining. The proposed concept in the paper is an attempt to apply an efficient web mining algorithm for web log analysis. E-commerce web portals demands security from search engines to identify context of the problem. The results received through web mining analysis get applied to the class of problems. Through Improved APrioriAll, candidate sets are found to be much smaller in stage wise comparison. The scanning of database block gets extremely reduced in E-web miner. E-web miner has much better performance with time and space parameters as compared with other algorithms.
Towards Better Understanding of Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Through Modelling and Simulation Approaches

Abstract Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a poorly understood complex disorder with a wide prevalence in Western populations with unhealthy dietary and lifestyle habits. Systems biology tools may provide further insight into the multi-dimensional nature of NAFLD. A dynamic semi-quantitative model of the metabolic and signaling pathways suggested to be important in the pathogenesis of NAFLD has been generated using an object-oriented library of components based on differential equations. The analysis of the enzyme reaction model in steady state identified independent model parameters and a system of equations that closely represent biological reactions, by stressing an importance on the partition of metabolic fluxes at pathway branch points rather than the initial metabolic flux through the system. Model validation procedures have suggested a close correlation between experimental observations and the in silico network. Moreover, the simplification of the model has identified the core metabolic pathways and regulatory mechanisms that are potentially deregulated in NAFLD.
Time, points and space - towards a better analysis of wildlife data in GIS

Geographical Information Systems are powerful instruments to analyse spatial data. Wildlife researchers and managers are always confronted with spatial data analysis and make use of these systems for various tasks. One important characteristic of the animals unter investigation is their locomotion. Thus the temporal aspects are important, but unfortunately GIS are almost ignorant concerning the analysis of the temporal domain. This thesis is trying to provide a new perspective on how to analyse moving point objects within GIS. A conceptual shift is performed from a space centered view to a way of analysing spatial and temporal aspects in an equally balanced way. For this purpose the family of analytical Time Plots was developed. They represent a completely new approach of how to analyse moving point objects. They transform the data originating from an animal's movements into a representation with two time axes and one spatial axis that allows for an effective recognition of spatial patterns within the data. Some of the easier Time Plots make use of the Temporal Data Frames concept, another analytical framework using exploratory data analysis techniques to analyse and search for regularities in temporal point data. It is especially useful in the exploration of temporal aspects such as solar or lunar cycles. The Radial Distance Functions developed and elaborated are a new method to analyse the environment around a point object. They can be thought of as an extension of the second-order functions applied to areal data. They are also extended to be used in a more dynamic way of analysing the movements of an animal in its environment. The methods developed were applied to synthetic data as well as different animal species including ants, bats, woodstorks, badgers and lynx to test and illustrate their usability. Due to the fact that temporal aspects become more and more important in GIS, a system similar to the (spatial) coordinate transformation between different coordinate systems needs to be developed for the temporal domain.
Microsatellites reveal high population connectivity in eelgrass (Zostera marina) in two contrasting coastal areas

Populations of marine angiosperms, or seagrasses, are at the basis of productive ecosystems thriving in shallow coastal areas around the world. Genetic markers allow important inferences on the connectivity of seagrass populations. Here, I compare the fine scale geographic structure in eelgrass (Zostera marina) at a regional scale (2–60 km) among two adjacent coastal areas, the northern Wadden Sea (N = 8), and the southwestern Baltic (N = 5). Plants were genotyped for eight highly polymorphic microsatellite loci displaying a total of 114 alleles. Consistent with their clonal mode of reproduction, populations in the Baltic were genetically less diverse compared to those in the Wadden Sea, suggesting an effective population size that is half compared to the Wadden Sea. Although I expected more gene flow among populations in the Wadden Sea where abundant seeds can be transported by strong tidal currents, no quantitative difference in population differentiation was detectable between both coastal areas. To the contrary, in the atidal Baltic, nonsignificant genetic differentiation (FST < 0.009) was present up to waterway distances of 54 km, compared to only 33 km in the Wadden Sea. Correlations between genetic and geographic distances were weak in both areas, and significant only in the Wadden Sea. I examined as one potential mechanism responsible for high population connectivity whether the genotypic composition of rafting reproductive shoots differed from resident Baltic populations (N = 2) using assignment tests. At one sampling occasion, at least 130 immigrant seeds m−1 shoreline were identified based on their multilocus genotype. The results have implications for coastal management and restoration and suggest that local population history may be less crucial for explaining seagrass distribution than previously suggested.
MODERNIZED PWM TECHNIQUE FOR MODIFIED CASCADE MULTILEVEL INVERTER TO MINIMIZE THD

The applications of Multilevel Inverter (MLI) are increasing day by day in high power industries because of their ability to reduce output voltage harmonics [1]. Several research and studies are going on for effective control of these inverters. This paper proposes a 15 level modified cascaded MLI controlled by a modernized PWM technique. The conventional pwm technique produces output with more Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) for minimum level and becomes complex as the no of level increases. The proposed pwm technique produces better control over the output compared to conventional pwm technique for the 1 International Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics Volume 120 No. 6 2018, 1537-1549 ISSN: 1314-3395 (on-line version) url: http://www.acadpubl. eu/hub/ Special Issue http://www.acadpubl. eu/hub/
Model-based Security Engineering for Secure Systems Development

Security of software and systems is becoming more and more important in the context of the rapid rise of distributed communication systems and their use into the private life of each individual. The development of new software is also accompanied by an immense time and cost pressure. The aspects of IT-security are therefore often not considered within the software development process. The aim of this work is to contribute to the improvement of the integration of security engineering into software engineering. A model-based approach for determination of assets, security objectives, threats, and attacks is presented. The derivation of functional requirements for the software development process from these artefacts is explained.
The diversity and abundance of visitor insects on pummelo (Citrus maxima (burm) Merr) cv. nambangan

Insects are an effective pollinator to increase agricultural products. Knowledge of the diversity of plant pollinating insects is needed for strategy development of crop production. Pummelo (Citrus maxima (Burm) Merr. ) is a monoecious plant with perfect flower. Most pummelo varieties have selfincompatibilities and require insects as pollinating agents. The research aims to study the diversity and abundance of pollinating insects of pummelo cv. Nambangan in East Java, Indonesia. Results showed that 17,401 individuals of insects belong to twelve species visited pummelo flowers. Nine species of visiting insects were potential as pollinator agents of pummelo, i.e. honey bee (Apis cerana), stingless bee (Tetragonula laeviceps), Ceratina sp. , carpenter bees (Xylocopa confusa and Xylocopa latipes), butterflies (Papilio demoleus, Catopsilia pyranthe, and Catopsilia pomona) and unidentified dipteran. Three species, wasp (Vespa affinis), ants (Dolichoderus thoracicus and Oecophylla smaragdina) are categorized as predatory insects that have an important role in biological control.
A CASE FOR DOMAIN-INDEPENDENT DETERMINISTIC MULTIAGENT

The notion of planning using multiple agents has been around since the very beginning of planning itself. It has been approached from various viewpoints especially in the multiagent systems community. Recently, domain-independent multiagent planning has gained more attention also in the automated planning community. In this paper, we shortly present the current state of the art, question some aspects of the research field and discuss the rising challenges.
Habitat selection by female Australian fur seals (Arctocephalus pusillus doriferus)

1. Numerous studies have determined the foraging areas of marine apex predators and investigated their relationship to oceanographic features. Most of these, however, have concentrated on surface-feeding seabirds or epipelagic-foraging marine mammals and there is little information on habitat selection in benthic divers. 2. Satellite telemetry was used during the winters of 2001-2003 to determine the foraging areas of 48 female Australian fur seals (Arctocephalus pusillus doriferus) from four breeding sites in northern Bass Strait whose colonies together represent > 80% of the total species population. 3. All individuals foraged over the shallow continental shelf of Bass Strait supporting earlier studies that suggested the species is an exclusively benthic forager. Individual females showed a high degree of foraging site-fidelity and several foraging 'hot spot' areas could be identified. 4. Analysis of habitat use indicated that individuals selected areas with depths of 60-80 m significantly more (λ = 0.216, P 0.05). 5. Temporal analysis of at-sea movements indicated, due to their primarily benthic foraging mode, the areas frequented by female Australian fur seals did not overlap substantially with areas targeted by commercial fisheries. An exception to this was in far eastern Bass Strait where the Otter Trawl component of the Commonwealth Trawl Sector is highly active over the continental shelf and encompasses the areas frequented by females from The Skerries colony.

The Role of Pollution and External Refugia in Structuring the Onondaga Lake Fish Community

ABSTRACT Historical accounts of Onondaga Lake dating to the 1600's indicate that the lake once supported a coldwater fishery. By the late 1800's, severe degradation of the lake and adjacent tributary environments was accompanied by declines in the American eel (Anguilla rostrata), and extirpation of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and whitefish (Coregonus sp.). Nine faunal surveys were conducted from 1927 to 1994. We used rarefaction analyses to standardize survey results by computing expected species richness values (E(Sm)) relative to the 1946 gill net catch (7 species, m=164 individuals). Linear regression applied to the expected richness values (E (S164)) over time showed a significant increase in richness from 1946 (YEAR=0) to 1994 (YEAR=47) for fish caught in gill nets [E(S164) = 0.153*YEAR + 6.785, r2=0.79, P<0.005] and trap nets [E(S164) = 0.226*YEAR + 3.723, r2=0.89, P<0.01]. Although species richness has increased, almost half of the species captured since 1989 show no evidence of juvenile recruit.
Formulation of an Efficient Combinatorial Cellulase Cocktail by Comparative Analysis of Gibson Assembly and NEBuilder HiFi DNA Assembly Modus Operandi

Keeping in view the importance of combinatorial cellulase genes expression for bioethanol production, the current study was aimed to identify appropriate DNA fragments assembly approach. Homemade Gibson Assembly Master Mix and NEBuilder HiFi DNA Assembly Master Mix were utilized for codon optimized synthetic cellulase genes constituted of endoglucanase (Trichoderma harzianum), cellobiohydrolase (Penicillium oxalicum) and β-glucosidase (Aspergillus niger). These assembly methods were modified by using restriction enzyme (HindIII/BamHI) ligation method for cloning of assembled DNA cassettes. The evaluation results of potential and efficacy of these assembly techniques indicated that both the techniques are favorable for scarless assembly of multiple fragments simultaneously. However, the NEBuilder HiFi DNA Assembly Master Mix exhibited appreciable results of transformation, colony screening and quantification of cloning efficiency that may be utilized in bioethanol production for a consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) host confronting the challenge of multiple genes expression with the loss of gene fragments from microbial cell. In addition, this molecular cloning and assembly technique will be a valuable tool for protein engineering and synthetic biology that extends the range of applications of DNA assembly strategies.

THE LIFE CYCLE OF ANTIBODY-FORMING CELLS

The generation, time of cells synthesizing 19S antibody was measured during the exponential phase of the primary and secondary immune responses. Using a plaque-forming cell assay together with a double label isotope method, the duration of the generation time was found to be about 13 hr, that of the S period was about 8 hr, and that of G-1 and G-2 were about 3 and 2 hr, respectively, in both immune responses. Previous work was confirmed showing that all plaque-forming cells observed during the exponential phase of the immune responses incorporate labeled thymidine, and therefore take part in proliferation. These results were obtained at points during both responses when the doubling time of the PFC was observed to be 6–7 hr. This finding makes untenable the hypothesis that the rate of appearance of PFC equals the rate of proliferation of these cells. A hypothesis is presented to account for these findings and to serve as a basis for further experiments.
FOULING BEHAVIOR OF POLYETHERSULPHONE ULTRAFILTRATION MEMBRANE IN THE SEPARATION OF GLYCERIN-RICH SOLUTION AS BYPRODUCT OF PALM-OIL-BASED BIODIESEL PRODUCTION

Crude glycerin, as a by-product of the transesterification process, has low economic value and limited applications. Membrane process using ultrafiltration membrane is an alternative to purify the glycerin. However, flux decline in behaviour during the ultrafiltration process is a major limitation. Since specific information of blocking information in ultrafiltration of glycerin rich solution was not found, this research sought to focus on the separation of glycerin rich solution from its impurities. In this research, flux decline, rejection, and blocking mechanism at various Trans Membrane Pressure (TMP), temperature, and pH were observed. Experiments were carried out at the variation of the TMP (3.2 – 4.8 bar), temperature (51.63 – 68.36 C), and pH (6.32 – 9.67). The research showed that the flux decline was significant at all variations of the process parameter. Both TMP and temperature had no significant effect on flux decline. Rejection value was proportional to TMP and temperature while at pH variation, the rejection was determined by the characteristic of impurities. Hermia’s model was selected to analyse the blocking mechanism during filtration. It was confirmed that the mechanism was dominated by cake formation for all process parameters except for pH 7. At pH 7, the mechanism was controlled by intermediate blocking at an early stage and then followed by standard blocking. This research demonstrated that the ultrafiltration process was capable of removing some impurities of crude glycerin up to 68.33% and 70.98% for total impurities and FFA, respectively. However, process development such as feed pretreatment or membrane modification is suggested to improve rejection and reduce the membrane fouling.
