Implementation of Smart Sensor Interface for Water Quality Monitoring In IoT (Internet of Things) Environment

Gradual improvement of IoT has lead to a revolution in the wireless communication; this scenario facilitates various application from environmental monitoring to industrial management. Different sensors are available for water quality monitoring which are use to check the quality on following parameters i.e pH, dissolved oxygen concentration, conductivity and temperature etc. Wired networks are mostly used to transfer data by connecting sensor. It is advantageous as it provides reliable communication system for instruments and controls. But connecting the sensors with a wired network will be costly hence low cost wireless technologies are much needed to cut down the cost. In this paper, a method is proposed to design smart sensor interface for water quality monitoring in IoT environment. IoT provide interface to monitor and operate remotely from anywhere and anytime. ATmega(ATMEL 328p) controller is implemented in our proposed system. The proposed system performance is tested on water environment monitoring and improved results are achieved.
Zapalenie mięśnia sercowego jako groźne powikłanie infekcji dróg oddechowych

Myocarditis is a complex disease that can manifest itself in various symptoms including chest pain, irregular or fast heartbeat, shortness of breath at rest or during less-than-ordinary activity, fatigue. It should be emphasized that myocarditis often develops in young patients who have never been diagnosed with a cardiovascular disorder as a results of respiratory tract infection. Long-term prognosis is uncertain, ranging from full recovery to end-stage heart failure. Treatment of myocarditis depends on its etiology and the intensity of inflammatory process of the myocardium.

Comparison of Router Intelligent and Cooperative Host Intelligent Algorithms in a Continuous Model of Fixed Telecommunication Networks

munication networks strongly depends on the efﬁciency of the applied routing mechanism. Game theoretical approaches to this problem offer new solutions. In this paper a new continuous network routing model is deﬁned to describe data transfer in ﬁxed telecommunication networks of multiple hosts. The nodes of the network correspond to routers whose latency is assumed to be trafﬁc dependent. We propose that the whole trafﬁc of the network can be decomposed to a ﬁnite number of tasks, which belong to various hosts. To describe the different latency-sensitivity, utility functions are deﬁned for each task. The model is used to compare router and host intelligent types of routing methods, corresponding to various data transfer protocols. We analyze host intelligent routing as a transferable utility cooperative game with externalities. The main aim of the paper is to provide a framework in which the efﬁciency of various routing algorithms can be compared and the transferable utility game arising in the cooperative case can be analyzed.
Predicting End-User Adoption to Mobile Services

It is no doubt that the sub-field of Artificial Intelligence, which uses the tenets of Machine learning and data mining has progressively gained popularity in the past years to become one of fundamental yet revolutionary technologies. It is the basis of systems that can learn and improve using algorithms and big data with minimal programming or none. It is envisaged that mobile computing will empower end-users to seamlessly access and consume digital content services regardless of spatial or temporal orientations. Such are already the features of smart phones that at production are bundled with trending and necessary services. Of the many capabilities that advancement in technology have actualized in smart devices, gaming, video streaming, online library access, and m-commerce access services are the commonly among smart device owners. Given the near-exponential growth in ownership of smart devices, there is a need to identify and prioritize mobile services, and such was focus of this study. In specific, the study used Decision Tree, a popular machine learning algorithm, to predict the adoption of mobile services among smart device owners. Besides this purpose, the study identified the core uses of smart phones, and data used in the study was from an open source and was retrieved from Pew Research Centre Internet and Technology website. The dataset had 140 variables and 2001 themes, from which only the key attributes were selected for analysis. The study established that the level of education was the significant predictor of the mobile phones usage while race of the user emerged as the least predictor of smart device usage. The findings indicated that smart mobile phones were mostly used for entertainment, getting locations, direction and for recommendation purposes.
Rainfed wheat yields under climate change in northeastern Iran

Projecting agricultural crop, such as bread wheat, yield under future climate plays a vital role in planning for supply and demand, especially in developing countries. The objective of this study was to investigate impacts of climate change on grain yield of rainfed wheat in the Kashafrood basin situated in northeastern Iran. Climate projections of two General Circulation Models (HadCM3 and CGCM2) under two climate change scenarios (A2 and B2) were employed in this study. A statistical downscaling method was employed for developing the quantitative relationship between large‐scale atmospheric variables (predictors) and local variables (observations), also daily climatological parameters performed by the LARS‐WG5 stochastic weather generator, the Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT) Version 4.5 adjusted to evaluate rainfed wheat performance. Results of this study represented substantial difference between GCM models and scenarios for wheat yield in the study area. The A2 scenario indicated more negative impact on wheat yield than the B2 using both GCM models. Highest increase and decrease of grain yield in comparison with the baseline belongs to the 2010–2039 period (+15%) using the HadCM3 model under the B2 scenario and the HadCM3 model under A2 in the 2040–2069 period (−50%), respectively. In general, growth period length indicated a markedly decreasing trend in both periods. There were strong relations between wheat yield and precipitation rate and growth period length in this study.

Modelling Wintertime PM10 DispersionIn Masterton, New Zealand:A Tool For Implementing National Standards

The National Environmental Standards (NES) for air quality have recently been introduced in New Zealand (NZ). Many urban areas experience high levels of PM10 and compliance with the regulations for concentrations of PM10 and other pollutants must be achieved by 2013. This study uses urban airshed modelling techniques as a tool for assessing effects of pollution mitigation options. Masterton is a rural town with regular exceedences of the PM10 standard over winter, due largely to emissions from wood burning for home heating. A simulation of PM10 dispersion in Masterton for the winter months of 2003 has been carried out using TAPM (Version 3) on nested horizontal grids, down to 1 km spacing for meteorology and 0.5 km for pollution. Statistical measures of model performance show that the model performs well for both meteorology and pollution. The model links concentrations and emissions, showing an approximately linear relationship between them, although the number of exceedences is expected to decrease an approximate 15% reduction of domestic emissions has been achieved. The results demonstrate that modelling can be a useful tool for assessing emission reduction scenarios for NES compliance. Urban airshed modelling is a challenging task in coastal regions or complex terrain (typical of most NZ cities), particularly for regulatory purposes due to the requirement of simulation for extended periods at high temporal and spatial resolution. In addition, for small towns like Masterton, airshed modelling is a new technique. Therefore, this study represents a significant step forward for the application of airshed modelling in NZ and elsewhere.
Wellbeing Groups in Dementia Care Services: A Review of Attendee and Carer Satisfaction

The recent development of the National Dementia Strategy and the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence guidelines have added to the proposals of the National Service Frameworks for Older Adults and Mental Health to improve services for people with a diagnosis of dementia. In line with this, the occupational therapy service in Rossendale began wellbeing groups in an attempt to increase the mental wellbeing of the service users accessing memory assessment services. A review was conducted using a satisfaction questionnaire to establish whether the group was meeting the initial aims for attendees and carers.
Influencia de la frecuencia de alongamiento utilizando facilitación neuromuscular propioceptiva en la flexibilidad de los músculos isquio tibiales

El uso de maniobras de alongamiento es uno de los recursos mas utilizados en la practica de rehabilitacion. Sin embargo, algunos parametros, como frecuencia, no se estudian cuando se utilizan las tecnicas de facilitacion neuromuscular propioceptiva (FNP). El objetivo de este estudio ha sido analizar la frecuencia optima buscando aumentar la flexibilidad de los musculos isquio tibiales, medida por la amplitud activa de extension de la rodilla. Se seleccionaron 36 individuos del sexo femenino (con edad media (DP) de 21,7 (1,9) anos), con limitacion de flexibilidad de los musculos isquio tibiales. Los individuos fueron distribuidos aleatoriamente en cuatro grupos (n = 9). Los tres grupos de alongamiento recibieron intervencion cinco dias por semana durante dos semanas consecutivas. El cuarto grupo que sirvio como control, no fue alongado. Los grupos de alongamiento con FNP variaron en relacion a la frecuencia en una, tres y seis maniobras por sesion. Un analisis de varianza (ANOVA) se uso para las medidas iniciales y finales (p < 0,05). En seguida se utilizo un analisis post hoc por medio del test de Tukey (p < 0,05). El analisis estadistico de los datos indico que los grupos de alongamiento tuvieron incremento de amplitud significativo en relacion al grupo control, pero no entre ellos mismos. En relacion a la velocidad de incremento, los grupos que utilizaron tres y seis maniobras alongaron (p < 0,05) mas rapido que el grupo que utilizo apenas una maniobra. Se concluye, por tanto, que no hay diferencia en relacion al incremento tardio cuando se utiliza una, tres, o seis maniobras de alongamiento con la tecnica sustentar relajar en los isquios tibiales.
Assessment of the knowledge management systems in public administrations of Southern Italy

Purpose – The aim of this paper is to present a developing scheme to assess the efficiency of the knowledge‐management systems (KMS) and provide a quantitative‐based estimate of its performances.Design/methodology/approach – Defined in previous researches the theoretical scheme presented here to assess the efficiency of the KMS is based on a combination of a structured set of indicators of the intellectual capital (IC) and the balanced scorecard (BSC). To test such a scheme a small sample of relatively homogeneous subjects was used in order to obtain a reliable estimate generated by applying the scheme. The test was mainly conducted by questionnaires used to collect the data elaborated to obtain the discussed estimates; on the other hand, a number of interviews were conducted with the officers in charge of the information systems units of each organization involved in the test in order to verify the appropriateness of the indicators selected in each case to address the IC and outline a qualitative referen.
Método para la extracción de información estructurada desde textos Method for structured-information extraction from texts

In this work a method for extraction of information structured from Spanish texts is presented, as a base for a Mining of Text proposal development. Extracted information is structured in graph form, specifically in a Concept Map, which constitutes a knowledge representation form based on significant concepts and its relationships in a propositional structure. The proposed method allows to process documents of different formats, and it combines the superficial and deep syntactic analysis or of dependences, entities recognition, linguistic patterns and reference knowledge stored in a Concept Maps corpus, to identify conceptual sentences and relationships among them, to be extracted and represented in the Concept Map. SEINET constitutes the tool that implements the proposed method, and to which have been incorporated a group of benefits that facilitate the efficient and flexible use of the method. Simple cases of study are exposed to exemplify the operation method, and in turn SEINET.
Associations of uterine pathology with milk production and effects of treatment with a non- steroidal anti-inflammatory drug in dairy cows

Subclinical endometritis (SCE) is a form of uterine pathology characterised by an increased proportion of polymorphonuclear cells (PMN) in the uterus post-calving. Previous studies demonstrated a negative association between SCE and lower milk production, with indications that systemic inflammation underlies this link. Accordingly, the hypothesis tested was that treatment with a non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID) would increase milk yield in cows with ≥ 14% PMN at Day 14. In this study, ≥ 14% PMN in the cytological sample collected at Day 14 postpartum was defined as SCE. To test this hypothesis, 213 dairy cows were paired by calving date and Day 14 PMN %, then randomly assigned to three doses of a NSAID (Carprofen 1.4 mg/kg, n = 103) between 21 and 31 days postpartum or left as untreated controls (n = 108). The effect of the NSAID treatment on milk production was analysed using mixed models. While the results supported previous evidence of a negative association between SCE and milk production, NSAID had no effect on either PMN % at Day 42 or milk production (P > 0.1) in this study. The lack of a NSAID effect was possibly because SCE spontaneously resolved in more than 90% of the cases.
Vitamin D, An Old but New Biomarker for Hepatocellular

With regard to HCC, Pourgholami et al. Demonstrated that 1α, 25 (OH) D3 had a significant inhibitory effect on HCC cell lines, especially Hep-3B and Hep-G2 cells [13]. Moreover, they showed that the inhibitory effects of 1α, 25 (OH) D3 on the growth of the Hep-G2 HCC cell line were attributable to arrest in the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle, leading to a decrease in the number of cells in the S phase [14]. These experimental studies support the tumor inhibitory effects of vitamin D on HCC cells, suggesting that vitamin D deficiency may play an important role in the development and progression of HCC.
A knowledge-based DSS for supporting ill-structured multiple criteria decisions

Focusing on qualitative reasoning processes as a key area of A1 (artificial intelligence) application for decision support, the authors propose an architecture for designing an intelligent DSS (decision-support system) that is intended to aid in MCDM (multiple-criteria decision making) in ill-structured situations. An MCDM DSS, for its maximum contribution to organizational problem-solving, must be capable of lending effective support to high-level as well as low-level management decisions. A commercial loan approval judgement case is described to illustrate the real-world situation where decisions usually require a high degree of intuition and subjective judgement. Development of a prototype intended to partially represent application of the architecture is described. The authors conclude with suggestions for research extensions. <<ETX>>
A generic approach to software support for linguistic annotation using XML

Large-scale linguistic annotation is currently employed for a wide range of purposes, including comparing communication under different conditions, testing psycholinguistic hypotheses, and training natural language engines. Current software support for linguistic annotation is poor, with much of it written for one-off tasks using special purpose data representations and handling routines. This impedes research because developing special purpose software is slow, and also makes it difficult to use existing annotations in analyses or applications for which they were not originally intended. XML, a text mark-up language which admits the possible annotations and allows reference to external files containing, for instance, speech and graphics, can be used as the basis of a representational format for linguistic annotation. XML is already a standard outside the linguistics community, and therefore is well-supported with basic processing software. It allows more formal and explicit representation of a wider range of possible annotation structures than formats currently in use. However, it can also be used for completely unstructured data or for data with an implicit structure which the annotators have yet to discover. Together with XSL, an emerging standard for XML transduction which makes it easier to display XML texts, adopting XML will enable faster tool development and more flexible data re-use.

Multilingual evaluation of voice disability index using pitch rate

A R T I C L E I N F O A B S T R A C T Article history: Received: 05 April, 2017 Accepted: 24 May, 2017 Online: 16 June, 2017 We propose the use of the pitch rate of free-form speech recorded by smartphones as an index of voice disability. This research compares the effectiveness of pitch rate, jitter, shimmer, and harmonic-to-noise ratio (HNR) as indices of voice disability in English, German, and Japanese. Normally, the evaluation of these indices is performed using longvowel sounds; however, this study included the recitation of a set passage, which is more similar to free-form speech. The results showed that for English, the jitter, shimmer, and HNR were very effective indices for long-vowel sounds, but the shimmer and HNR for read speech were considerably worse. Although the effectiveness of jitter as an index was maintained for read speech, the pitch rate was better in distinguishing between healthy individuals and patients with illnesses affecting their voice. The read speech results in German, Japanese, and English were similar, and the pitch rate showed the greatest efficiency for identification. Nevertheless, compared to English, the identification efficiency for the other two languages was lower.

Evaluation of the spiritual health of cancer patients and their nurses in Iran

Background and Purpose: Cancer is associated with significant changes in the lifestyle of patients. Spiritual well-being has been shown to be an inherent element of health, quality of life, increased survival rate, and enhanced adaptability of cancer patients with the disease. This study aimed to evaluate the spiritual health of cancer patients and their nurses. Methods: This descriptive, correlational, cross-sectional study was conducted on 60 hospitalized cancer patients and 60 nurses in the hospitals affiliated to Urmia University of Medical Sciences, Iran during March-October 2014. Participants were selected via accident sampling, and data were collected using the Spiritual Well-being Scale (SWBS). Data analysis was performed in SPSS version 16 using descriptive statistics, Chi-square and T-test. Results: In cancer patients, mean scores of religious, existential and spiritual well-being were 52±2.32, 46±1.23 and 99±3.73, respectively. In the studied nurses, these scores were 29±4.43, 40±1.17 and 70±4.02, respectively. A significant difference was observed between the scores of spiritual well-being between cancer patients and nurses (P=0.001). Conclusion: According to the results of this study, spiritual well-being largely contributes to the mental health of cancer patients. Therefore, higher spiritual well-being of nurses could enhance the spiritual health of cancer patients as well.
