Complementing macrocell deficits with either smallcells or Wi-Fi-willingness to choose based on the cost-capacity analysis

Nowadays, the increasing mobile data traffic adds extra pressure on the almost congested mobile networks. In order to meet the new demand, mobile operators have to improve their networks but as revenues are not expected to rise, they have to add extra capacity in a cost-efficient way. The solution might come from shifting the mobile data traffic towards indoor alternative networks, an approach known as mobile data offloading.Among indoor solutions two technologies stepped forward, Wi-Fi and smallcells. This paper analyses the two technologies as complementing solutions for macrocell layer in the mobile data offloading context. The main discussed questions are whether the two solutions are interchangeable and what are the risks and pitfalls when choosing one of the two technologies. In order to answer the research questions, based on a proposed real life deployment scenario, a capacity-cost calculation has been driven. Thus, a newly built office building lacking indoor mobile coverage has been considered. Based on the calculated offered capacity, the deployment costs for a comprehensive solution using either of the two technologies have been estimated. The cost of provisioning for different solutions is based on the fact that either of these solutions needs to be built from scratch and no former type of coverage exists.Regarding the interchangeability question, based on the conducted analysis, we claim that the answer is both “Yes” and “No”. “Yes” since the total cost of ownership for each technology is one order of magnitude lower compared to the traditional macrocell deployment. “No”, since deploying a smallcell network is four times more expensive than the Wi-Fi case when the same capacity is required. Thus, we can conclude that Wi-Fi and smallcells are two complementary rather than competing technologies. The goal is to offer a solution where the end-customer cannot tell whether he is connected on Wi-Fi or cellular. Integrating the two technologies into one single offered solution comes as the next normal step, more an evolution rather than a revolution.
A novel instrumented outsole for real-time foot kinematics measurement: validation across different speeds and simulated foot landing in Cerebral Palsy gait

Neuromuscular disorders in Cerebral Palsy (CP) patients lead to foot deformities and affect foot biomechanics leading to compromised gait. Thus, measurement of the foot kinematic measurement is of particular interest to understand and characterize the walking pattern among CP patients. The objective of the present work is to develop a wearable instrument to measure foot kinematics such as foot-to-ground angle in three-dimensional planes and to measure the foot clearance i.e., toe and heel clearances. A template-based outsole was developed that incorporated an optical distance sensor located anatomically on the outsole and the magnetometer to measure the foot kinematics. The developed system was validated against the reference marker-based motion capture system (from Noraxon). The data from eight able-bodied participants were acquired simultaneously from both the systems (developed and the reference system) at three different walking speeds. A CoP based feedback was presented to the participants to shift the sagittal CoP anteriorly, posteriorly and normal to simulate the walking pattern of CP patients with three different foot landing strategies. Pearson's correlation coefficient of more than or equal to 0.62, root mean square error of less than or equal to 7.81 degrees and limit of agreement of more than or equal to 95% is found. Furthermore, a wireless wristband is developed and validated for real-time vibrotactile feedback. The measurement accuracy reported with outsole while participants simulated CP gait shows the potential of present work in real-time foot kinematics detection in CP patients. The instrumentation is wearable, low-cost, easy to use and implement.
GENERATING PARTIAL ORIGIN-DESTINATION TABLES FOR STREAMLINED APPLICATION OF CORRIDOR MODELS

A method is described for generating origin-destination (OD) matrices for the subset of drivers who are likely to divert in response to any changes to the traffic network, such as ramp metering for freeways. These ODs are generated automatically from responses to survey questionnaires handed out at strategic points in the network. The responses are factored up to represent 100% of the observed flow on critical links. The procedure also preloads onto the network any link volumes that are not represented by factored survey responses, and are presumably insensitive to any control schemes that might be considered. Preloading of the less sensitive flows, rather than the existing procedure of creating and assigning pseudo-ODs, should reduce the work required of the analyst and lead to improved predictions of flows and queues.

Water, sanitation and hygiene practices associated with improved height-for-age, weight-for-height and weight-for-age z-scores in Nepal.

Background: Evidence of the influence of water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) behaviors on childhood nutritional status is inconsistent. Few studies have examined their interactive effects. This study aimed to examine associations and interactions between WASH variables and preschool child undernutrition. Methods: Data from a nationally representative sample of 2352 children assessed during the 2016 Nepal Demographic and Health Survey were analyzed by multi-variable linear regression to understand the association between height-for-age (HAZ), weight-for-height (WHZ) and weight-for-age (WAZ) z-scores and WASH variables. Interactions between WASH variables, sex and area of residence on childhood nutritional status were also examined. Results: The mean z-score [standard deviation] for children’s WAZ, HAZ and WHZ scores were -1.33 [1.1], -1.52 [1.3] and -0.65 [1.1], respectively. A unit increase in cluster sanitation coverage was associated with an increase of 0.30 (95%CI: 0.12 to 0.48) for WAZ and 0.28 (95%CI: 0.001 to 0.56) for HAZ scores. Household water purification practice was associated with an increase of 0.24 (95%CI: 0.07 to 0.41) in WHZ score. Handwashing practice with water and soap was associated with an increase of 0.15 (95%CI: 0.04 to 0.25) in WAZ and 0.13 (95%CI: 0.01 to 0.24) in WHZ scores. The effect of water purification practice was higher for rural areas compared to urban settings for HAZ scores (p-value for interaction=0.02). Conclusions: Consistent with findings from other countries in the South Asian region, findings of this study highlight the potential importance of good WASH practices, and therefore the potential of WASH interventions, to contribute to improved nutritional status in rural Nepal.

Bioestimulantes “hidrolisado de proteína” e “extrato de algas” podem modular o metabolismo de nitrogênio em soja?

Can “protein hydrolyzate” and “seaweed extract” biostimulants modulate nitrogen metabolism in soybean? Biostimulant treatment has been a tool in crop management. The application of these products has been credited with increasing nutrient assimilation and product quality, and increasing productivity. Soy is one of the main commodities in the world, and its productivity is strongly influenced by nitrogen nutrition, which in Brazil is supported by biological correction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of protein hydrolyzate biostimulants and algae extract Ascophyllum nodosum on nitrogen metabolism in soybean plants. In the greenhouse, soybean plants treated with algae extract have higher leaf and stem biomass, while the protein hydrolyzate treatment increased root dry mass compared to untreated ones. The components of complete nitrogen metabolism affected were amino acids in the leaf, increased with a foliar application of seaweed extract, however reduced levels of ureides were found in the xylem sap with the application of biostimulants based on seaweed extract and protein hydrolyzate. All tested biostimulants increased crop yield components, with grain production being increased by up to 28% with the application of algae extract. The results found results that biomass production and grain production are stimulated with the application of biostimulants.

Differential privacy under dependent tuples - the case of genomic privacy

MOTIVATION The rapid progress in genome sequencing has led to high availability of genomic data. However, due to growing privacy concerns about the participant's sensitive information, accessing results and data of genomic studies is restricted to only trusted individuals. On the other hand, paving the way to biomedical discoveries requires granting open access to genomic databases. Privacy-preserving mechanisms can be a solution for granting wider access to such data while protecting their owners. In particular, there has been growing interest in applying the concept of differential privacy (DP) while sharing summary statistics about genomic data. DP provides a mathematically rigorous approach but it does not consider the dependence between tuples in a database, which may degrade the privacy guarantees offered by the DP. RESULTS In this work, focusing on genomic databases, we show this drawback of DP and we propose techniques to mitigate it. First, using a real-world genomic dataset, we demonstrate the feasibility of an inference attack on differentially private query results by utilizing the correlations between the tuples in the dataset. The results show that the adversary can infer sensitive genomic data about a user from the differentially private query results by exploiting correlations between genomes of family members. Second, we propose a mechanism for privacy-preserving sharing of statistics from genomic datasets to attain privacy guarantees while taking into consideration the dependence between tuples. By evaluating our mechanism on different genomic datasets, we empirically demonstrate that our proposed mechanism can achieve up to 50% better privacy than traditional DP-based solutions.

THE EFFECTS OF PLASTICS IN RIVERINE WASTE ON ACCUMULATION ATA DEBRIS RACK

Many rivers in the world carry loads of debris to the sea. Typically in urbanizing areas with limited waste collection systems, the amounts of plastic amongst the organic material can be substantial. This has an impact on e.g. water quality, clogging of the (urban) water infrastructure, and deterioration of habitats. Flood risk is increased when debris is accumulating at bridges, weirs and trash racks. Understanding the behaviour of plastics in rivers and their impact on river conveyance is important for assessing both water quality issues and flood risks. In this study samples of waste in the Citarum river basin near Bandung, Indonesia where taken using single and double trawls. The analysis showed that plastic content of those samples can amount to more than 40% of the total debris weight. Additional laboratory measurement were performed on a debris flow through a trash rack in a straight flume, to assess the effects of plastic content on debris behaviour and consequent increased energy loss in flows through a trash rack. Though limited by scale effects and simplifications in the experiment, it was concluded that the plastic content in the debris increased the rate of clogging as well as the flow resistance for a certain amount of debris.
Evaluation of Minnesota’s Vehicle Plate Impoundment Law for Impaired Drivers

Vehicle sanctions – such as vehicle impoundment – have been found to be effective in reducing recidivism among drivers arrested for DWI; however, their application is cumbersome and generally infrequent. A far less cumbersome strategy is to seize the vehicle license plate while leaving the actual vehicle in the owner’s hands. Beginning in 1998, Minnesota implemented license plate impoundment for first-offense drivers whose blood alcohol concentration (BAC) was . 20 or higher. DWI recidivism and Driving While Suspended violations were compared for first offenders with BACs of . 17-. 19 (no plate impoundment) and first offenders with BACs of . 20-. 22 (very similar BACs but with plate impoundment). The results indicated substantial reductions in DWI recidivism and Driving While Suspended violations for those drivers whose vehicle license plates were impounded. Effects were strongest among younger drivers (ages 21-34) during the period of plate impoundment (up to one year). Some effects persisted for as much as three years. Vehicle plate impoundment was seen as an effective means to reduce DWI recidivism and reduce driving by suspended drivers during the term of their license suspension.
Seat belt use of high school drivers and their passengers

Objective: This study examined current belt use rates among high school students in Maryland, as well as longer term trends. Methods: Belt use by students at six Maryland high schools was compared with belt use in the surrounding community. Data from five of these schools was compared with belt use in the surrounding community. Data from five of these schools in 1982 and 1988 allowed evaluation of the longer term trends. Results: There was substantial variation in use rates of the high school students (36-91 percent for drivers, 24-74 percent for passengers) largely reflecting differences in socioeconomic status of the communities in which the schools are located. In 1988, high school driver belt use was lower than among comparison drivers at each school. In this study, this was the case at three of the six schools for drivers and four of the six schools for right front passengers. Belt use for all drivers was generally much higher than in 1988. Conclusions: It is important to find ways to increase seat belt use among teenagers. The low rate of belt use by teenage passengers is of particular concern, since passengers comprise about 40 percent of all 16-19 year-old motor vehicle occupant deaths.
PHARMACOGNOSTIC RESEARCH ON HYPERICUM PERFORATUM SAMPLES SOLD BY HERBALISTS IN ISTANBUL

Objective: In our country, herbal drugs used for medical purposes by the folk are generally purchased from the herbal stores. The quality and reliability of the plants sold in the herbal stores have been discussed for many years. The present study aims to investigate samples of Hypericum perforatum, which is one of the important medicinal plants and widely used by the folk. Material and Method: The drugs sold as “St John’s Wort” were purchased from 12 different herbal stores which were randomly chosen in Istanbul. Quality control of the collected part and collection time of the plant were examined by using macroscopic and microscopic methods. The suitability of the plant storage conditions were investigated by microbiological test. The ash and moisture contents, total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS), oxidative stress index (OSI), mineral and heavy metal levels of the plant were determined. Hypericin contents of the methanol extracts prepared from the plant samples were analyzed by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Result and Discussion: In this study, it was determined that most of the samples were contaminated by impurities, 6 of them did not contain hypericin, and 2 of them contained high levels of aluminium (Al). As a result, it was once again understood that it might be inconvenient to sell the medicinal plants in the herbal stores unless inspected for public health. Sale of the medicinal plants in herbal stores should be prevented, and it should be ensured that the public can reach the high quality medicinal plants.
Loving Big Brother: Performance, Privacy and Surveillance Space

In Loving Big Brother the author tackles head on the overstated claims of the crime-prevention and anti-terrorism lobbies. But he also argues that we desire and enjoy surveillance, and that, if we can understand why this is, we may transform the effect it has on our lives. This book looks at a wide range of performance and visual artists, at popular TV shows and movies, and at our day-to-day encounters with surveillance, rooting its arguments in an accessible reading of cultural theory. Constant scrutiny by surveillance cameras is usually seen as - at best - an invasion of privacy, and at worst an infringement of human rights. But in this radical new account of the uses of surveillance in art, performance and popular culture, John E McGrath sets out a surprizing alternative: a world where we have much to gain from the experience of being watched. This iconoclastic book develops a notion of surveillance space - somewhere beyond the public and the private, somewhere we will all soon live. It's a place we're just beginning to understand.
‘I want to be heard and seen’: the visualization of EFL students’ voices through story narratives and interactive theatre

This study was conducted at a university in Algeria. It explores the language voices and self- positioning amongst students who study English as a foreign language (EFL), through introducing an innovative teaching method that includes the process of narrating personal life experiences, turning those experiences into a scenario and performing it onstage using interactive theatre. As the voice of the learner is crucial in the classroom to break the walls of anxiety and lack of investment, to promote self-positioning and agency, and to allow the student to participate in his/her desired imagined community, I was concerned about the teaching and learning situation at the department of English where this study took place. The current situation revealed that most of the students fear to speak, but wish to become good language users and be seen by others. This has driven me towards asking the questions of what voices can they develop in theatre, and what aspects from their experiences define those voices. I ran a theatre course where 19 EFL students participated. I used thematic analysis strategy to analyse the data collected from this study. The findings revealed multiple voices that are defined by the participants’ experiences in both their social and academic contexts .
