ParkingJSON: An Open Standard Format for Parking Data in Smart Cities

Data marketplaces and data management platforms offer a viable solution to build large city-scale Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Contemporary data marketplaces and data management platforms for smart cities such as Intelligent IoT Integrator (I3), Cisco Kinetic, Terbine, and Streamr present a middleware platform to help the data owners to provide their data to the application developers. However, such platforms suffer from adoption issues because of the interoperability concerns that stem from heterogeneous data formats. On the one hand, the IoT devices and the software used by the device owners follow either a custom data standard or a proprietary industrial standard. On the other hand, the application developers consuming data from multiple device owners expect the data to follow one common standard to process the data without developing custom software for each data feed. Therefore, a common data standard is desired to enable interoperable data exchange through data marketplace and data management platforms while promoting adoption. We present our experiences from developing a city-scale real-time parking application for a smart city. We also introduce ParkingJSON, a new open standard format for parking data in smart cities, which could help the parking data providers to cover all types of parking infrastructures through a single JSON schema. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first parking data standard proposed that a) covers a wide range of parking spaces and structures, b) integrates spatial information, and c) provides support for data integrity and authenticity.
Initial data on the specific heterogeneity found in the bee pollen loads produced in the Pontevedra region (north‐west Spain)

Heterogeneous pollen load frequency from a beehive located in the Morcón (Pontevedra, north-west Spain) was recorded. Samples of pollen loads were obtained weekly between May and July using pollen traps, and the accumulated pollen was removed at different times. Of the total analysed pollen loads an average heterogeneity percentage of approximately 5% was recorded. The pollen load heterogeneity consisted of mixed pellets with pollen of several species, but usually with one species (Erica umbellata L., Lythrum salicaria L., Lotus corniculatus L., Cytisus scoparius-type, Castanea sativa Miller, Echium plantagineum L., Reseda media Lag., Erica cinerea L., Trifolium arvense L., Lonicera peryclimenum L., Scandix pecten-veneris L., Calystegia sepium (L.) Br. , Crepis capillaris (L.) Wallr. , Eucalyptus globulus Labill. , Plantago lanceolata L. , -Raphanus raphanistrum L. , Rubus ulmifoliustype or Poaceae) having higher values than others. It appears that mixed loads are not the result of flower deception but related to a decrease in pollen availability from plants the bees are currently foraging on that result in mixed foraging behaviour on other taxa.
ARABIC SPEECH RECOGNITION SYSTEM AND PHONETIC DICTIONARY

Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is a technology by which a computer can distinguish the words that a person talks into a microphone or a telephone. It is a key technology for many applications. It is gaining a growing role in a variety of application such as telephone communication with information systems, automatic query answering, hands free operation control as in airplanes and car, speech-to-text transcription, etc. ASR can help also, handicapped people to interact with society. Due to the ASR importance many systems are developed, the most common are: Dragon Naturally Speaking, IBM via voice, Microsoft SAPI. Also, many speech recognizing open source systems are available too. One of the main obstacles challenge the development of ASR applications for Arabic speech is the rarity of suitable sound databases commonly required for training and testing statistical models. The pronunciation (or phonetic) dictionary is an important ASR component that serves as an intermediate between language models and acoustic models in ASR systems. It holds a subset of the words available in the language and the pronunciation variants of each word in terms of sequences of the phonemes existing in the acoustic models. The development of perfect Automatic Arabic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems is challenged with the accuracy of the phonetic dictionary.
OUTPUT TRACKING BY STATE FEEDBACK FOR HIGH-ORDER NONLINEAR SYSTEMS WITH TIME-DELAY

This paper addresses the problem of global practical output tracking for a class of high-order time-delay uncertain non-linear systems via state feedback. On the basis of the homogeneous domination technique, under mild conditions on the system nonlinearities involving time delay, we construct a homogeneous state feedback controller with an adjustable scaling gain. With the aid of a homogeneous Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, the scaling gain is adjusted to dominate the time-delay nonlinearities bounded by homogeneous growth conditions and make the tracking error arbitrarily small while all the states of the closed-loop system remain to be bounded. Finally, a simulation example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the tracking controller.
Skeletal Ryanodine Receptor 1-Heterozygous PSE (Pale, Soft and Exudative) Meat Contains a Higher Concentration of Myoglobin than Genetically Normal PSE Meat in Pigs

Comparisons of properties between skeletal ryanodine receptor 1 (sRyR1)-heterozygous-mutated and normal types of meat were carried out in pigs using PSE (pale, soft and exudative) meat found during the butchering process. All samples considered to be PSE meat showed irregular running and disorder of the muscle fibers and a wider inter-fiber space upon light microscopic observation. Electron microscopy revealed disintegration, twisting, and disorder of the myofibril arrangement and elimination of the Z line in PSE meat, compared with normal meat. Meat property tests demonstrated greater decreases in water holding capacity, moisture and sarcoplasmic protein, and higher L * values for the meat color index in PSE meat than in normal meat, but there were no differences in these factors between genetically normal and sRyR1-heterozygous PSE meat. On the other hand, higher a * and b * values were observed in sRyRl-heterozygous than in normal PSE meat, and similar alterations to the a * value were observed in terms of the amount of myoglobin and density of the 17-kDa protein band, corresponding to the molecular mass of myoglobin, on SDS-PAGE gels. These results suggest that sRyR1-heterozygous PSE pork contains much more myoglobin than genetically normal PSE meat.
Role of Parental Acceptance and Self-Esteem on Suicidal Ideation among young Adults

Family bonding among parents and children is evolving in Bangladesh due to influence of the modernization. In Bangladesh, on average around 30 people commit suicide every day. Statistics suggested, in 2017, 11095 people committed suicide in Bangladesh and this rate is increasing in every year. Present study was conducted to explore the role of parental acceptance and self-esteem on suicidal ideation among Bangladeshi young adults. This study conducted on sample of 112 respondents who were selected from different areas of the Chittagong district through non-probability sampling techniques. Study revealed non-significant gender differences in perception of parental acceptance and rejection, self-esteem, and suicidal ideation. Findings revealed parental acceptance and self-esteem as significant predictors of suicidal ideation. Study would be helpful to prevent suicide among young people by increasing family bonding and level of self-esteem.
Dual Sentimental Analysis Prediction System for Rational Heart Diseases

Heart disease is a single foremost source of demise in urbanized countries and one of the main promoters to disease burden in emerging countries. The forecast of heart disease survivability has been a thought-provoking research problem for many scholars. Hence it is essential to progress a decision support system for forecasting heart disease of a user. Rational Heart Disease Prediction System by Dual Sentimental Analysis(RHDPS-DSA) is an end user support and online consultation project. The main motivation for using Dual Sentimental Analysis is to report the polarity shift issue in sentiment classification. Here we develop a system that permits users to get instant direction on their health issues through online. It enables momentous knowledge, e.g. patterns, relationships among medical features associated with heart disease, to be established. Data Mining techniques, especially Duple Prediction and Duple Training Algorithm that analyse on Heart disease databank can help the users in detecting the heart disease status based on their clinical data. The system stands with various heart disease related symptoms which allows user to share their symptoms and issues. It then processes users symptoms to predict either the user is at risk or normal. When the user at risk, then he/she will be directed to those specialists.
Investigation of the relationship between stress, burnout, job satisfaction of nurses working in oncology clinic

Objective: This descriptive and correlational study aims to identify stress, burnout and job satisfaction of nurses working in oncology clinics. Methods: The sample of the study consist a total of 43 nurses working at oncology clinics at three University Hospital. The Sociodemographic Data Collection Form developed by the researcher based on the literature, Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), Job Stress Scale and Job Satisfaction Scale were used as data collection tools. Number percentage analysis, one-way analysis of variance and Spearman correlation analysis were used for statistical analysis of the data. Results: It was found that Overall Job Satisfaction had a negative and strong correlation with “Job Role Uncertainty” sub-dimension (r:-0.42 p≤0.05), Maslach Burnout Inventory between General Job Satisfaction there was no significant relationship (p<0,05). A negative and significant correlation was found between Job Stress Scale overall score and Overall Job Satisfaction (r: -0.411, p<0.05). Conclusion: According to the result obtained in our study, it can be said that job satisfaction of oncology nurses decreased as their job stress increased and their job satisfaction level and job satisfaction uncertainty decreased as their emotional exhaustion increased.
Genetic Progress from 40 Years of Orchardgrass Breeding in North America Measured under Hay Management

There has been considerable activity in breeding orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) cultivars in North America during the latter half of the 20th century, but little effort devoted to quantification of breeding progress. The objectives of this study were to quantify changes in mean cultivar performance for that time compared with the progress achieved from one cycle of half-sib progeny selection within the USDA population of orchardgrass accessions. Forty-two cultivars (32 North American cultivars and 10 European cultivars) were tested at three locations (Arlington, WI and Rock Springs, PA, and Ottawa, Ontario, Canada) in 1995 through 1997. Cultivars were grouped into three experiments by maturity class: early, medium, and late. North American cultivars averaged 3,9, and 12 % higher in forage yield than European cultivars for early, medium, and late maturity groups, respectively. Between 1955 and 1997, forage yield and ground cover of early-maturity cultivars increased by 2.5 Mg ha -1 decade -1 and 4.0% decade -1 , respectively. Forage nutritional value of medium-maturity cultivars increased during that time, although this was probably not due to direct selection. Significant gains were made in forage yield and Drechslera spp. leafspot reaction of cultivars derived from two individual breeding programs, although the majority of orchardgrass cultivars lack improvements in forage traits.
Rickettsiosis cutáneo ganglionar por Rickettsia conorii en el Uruguay

Three autochthonous cases of cutaneous-ganglionar rickettsiosis transmitted by dogs ticks (Amblyomma maculatum in one of them) are reported. Two of the three cases were undoubtely produced by Rickettsia conorii according to the results of the specific indirect immunofluorescence technique IEF-IgM anti R. conorii. A third case is included due to the clinical epidemiological similarity, the positive serum reactivity with Proteus O x 19 and the rapid response to tetracycline. Autochthonous rickettsiosis by R. conorii has not been previously registered in the American area what confers special interest to this communication. The search of the disease in the other countries of the region is suggested.
MODELS AND TOOLS FOR AUTOMATIZATION OF THE LINGUISTIC RESEARCH

This article is focused on solving problem of building tools for automatization of linguistic research, particular for the morphological and semantical multilingual analysis. The results obtained are of great importance for the development of linguistic research. Developed a procedure for the automatic creation of dictionary quasi-inflections of wordforms as linguistic components providing automatic morphological analysis. Developed a system of the automatic workplace AWP PARADIGM that allows to automate the process of building the components of lingware for automatic morphological analysis in machine translation system, as well as to provide functional completeness. Developed system of AWP EXPERT, which allows you to automate the process of building the components of lingware for automatic premorphemic analysis and definition of the semantic information in machine translation system (SMT). The developed software product support English, Russian and Ukrainian languages. It is proved that the proposed method of encoding lexical-grammar information and approach to automatic morphological analysis using quasi-inflections has significant advantages in comparison with existing methods.
Exploring Usability of mHealth Apps Through Combined Expertise of Researchers and Practitioners

Researchers focusing on mHealth apps work hard to engage the healthcare practitioners who will be end users or stakeholders. Acknowledging that these perspectives must be included throughout a design process, we commonly apply human-centered and participatory approaches to the design and evaluation of mHealth apps. Yet as we focus on innovative sociotechnical systems, these can sometimes be far removed from the real-world systems healthcare practitioners must commonly use in their work. Practitioners are enthusiastic partners in innovation with mHealth, but the reality of their day-to-day work is a significant number of constraints that dictate which systems they can implement. We present a collaborative workshop built on the paradigm of participatory action
New information on the pyrite bioleaching mechanism at low and high temperature

The mechanism of pyrite bioleaching has been studied through both the indirect action of bacteria by recycling the leaching agent (Fe ) and the direct attack of microbial cells attached to the mineral surface. Causes of the decrease of the dissolution rate and the ultimate levelling off of the process are also identified. The study shows that pyrite bioleaching is markedly affected by the oxidation state of the dissolved iron. The ferrous/ferric ratio controls the relative rate of the oxidation reactions involved in the process. Additionally, the pyrite dissolution is controlled by the competitive chemisorption between Fe + and Fe + on the mineral surface. The accumulation of ferrous ions on the surface results in a diffusion barrier to the ferric attack, producing an increase of the ferric ion concentration in the bulk solution that inhibits the microbial oxidation capacity for concentrations higher than 16 g/L. There is a relationship between the rate of cell attachment to mineral surfaces and the mineral dissolution rate, since the initial attachment accounts for much of the dissolution rate during the bioleaching process. This is explained by the release of Fe + from the mineral attack by contact bioleaching and the rapid oxidation of Fe + accumulated on the surface by attached microorganisms. The results point to a cooperative bioleaching strategy for pyrite dissolution, whereby contact bioleaching and indirect bioleaching of the mineral possibly occur simultaneously via a thiosulphate mechanism.

Examining the Great Leveling

The mid-20th century American decline in income inequality has been called “the greatest leveling of all time,” despite a similarly unmatched rate of economic growth. To establish this insight, pioneering research has tracked a century of top income shares. However, limitations in the historical data had meant that we still do not fully understand the dynamics of change within the bottom 90% of the income distribution (prior to the 1960s). This paper sheds light on changes within the middle class—to study early and midcentury trends in income and wage inequality, by applying a powerful statistical model to archival tax records and survey data. We find that: (i) pre-war economic growth (and reduction in inequality) reached the upper middle class sooner than it (and they) reached the poorest households; and (ii) wartime relative income gains for the poorest were short-lived, while they proved durable for the upper middle class. In short, the relative gains from the New Deal, World War II and postwar eras were both more pronounced and more durable for the upper middle class than for the poorest. However, postwar wage compression lasted 30 years, to the particular benefit of the
The inheritance of heteroplasmy in guppies

Guppies Poecilia reticulata from the Rio Grande, Trinidad are heteroplasmic; individuals possess up to nine different-sized mtDNA haplotypes. A PCR survey of mtDNA length variation that included mothers and embryos suggests that a large number of mitochondrial genomes (possibly within a much smaller number of organelles) pass from one generation to the next.
The Detection and Naming of Geographic Variation Within Species

Subspecies is the only taxonomic rank below species recognized by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (1999). The use of subspecies to denote morphologically distinct races that occupy different parts of a species range became standard practice in zoology in the late 1800s (Mallet 2013). Subspecies differ from species in that there are no reproductive or genetic barriers among subspecies, so they typically exhibit a genetically continuous zone of intergradation from one subspecies to the next across geographical space (Mayr 1969, 1982). As noted by Mayr (1969), this means that subspecies are not units of evolution (independent evolutionary lineages, in modern terms). Instead, Mayr (1969) argued that subspecies represent geographic areas of recognizable morphology within a species, such that the appearance of the animals in one area of a species range is distinctly different from that in another area of the species range. Mayr (1969:41) defined subspecies formally as:
Reducing Energy Consumption and extending WSN lifetime using CBEEPSS

: An Energy efficient power saving scheme for Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) can be designed and developed via an algorithm to provide reasonable energy consumption and network for WSN to improve the lifetime of system. A cluster-based approach is used to reduce energy consumption in WSN. In this paper, a uniform cluster concept is proposed to reduce data transmission distance of sensor nodes in WSN. As a result the sensor node clustering is done to achieve an ideal distribution. The residual energy is accounted for selecting the appropriate cluster head nodes and the average distance between sensor nodes. To extend the lifetime of sensor node in WSNs and for increasing energy efficiency, new efficient energy saving schemes CBEEPSS (Cluster-Based Energy Efficient Power Saving Scheme) is proposed and developed. Lifetime of WSN is increased by using the uniform cluster location and balancing the network loading among the clusters. The proposed CBEEPSS algorithm achieves low energy consumption and better WSN life-time, as it detects the dead nodes from the sensing area and these dead nodes are recharged with the solar energy and again moved to pool of active node for further operation.
The expression and significance of T lymphocyte subsets, interleukin-8, and tumor necrosis factor-α in children infected with streptococcus pneumoniae

Objective: To investigate the expression and significance of T lymphocyte subsets, interleukin-8 (IL-8), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in children infected with streptococcus pneumoniae (SP). Methods: Sixty children with SP infection were selected from our hospital as group A (GA). Sixty healthy children in the same period were categorized as group B (GB). Three mL of venous blood was obtained from the two groups after admission. Flow cytometry was adopted to test the proportions of CD3+, CD4+ and CD8+ and the ratio of CD4+/CD8+. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determine the concentrations of serum IL-8 and TNF-α. ROC was introduced to evaluate the diagnostic value of serum IL-8 and TNF-α for SP. Results: The proportions of CD3+, CD4+ and CD8+ and the ratio of CD4+/CD8+ in GA were significantly lower than those in GB (P<0.05). The concentrations of serum IL-8 and TNF-α in GA were significantly higher than those in GB (P<0.05). The sensitivity and specificity of diagnosis with IL-8 for SP were 86.67% and 78.33%, respectively. For diagnosis with TNF-α, the sensitivity and specificity were 73.33% and 90.00%, respectively. For diagnosis in combination with serum IL-8 and TNF-α, the sensitivity was 93.33% and the specificity was 91.67%. Conclusions: SP infection in children can cause immune dysfunction. Serum IL-8 and TNF-α are of important value for diagnosis of SP infection.
