Performance analysis of optical code division multiple access networks for multimedia applications using multilength weighted modified prime codes

Abstract. The bit error rate (BER) performance of the incoherent synchronous pulse position modulation optical code division multiple access (PPM-OCDMA) network has been analyzed using a multilength weighted modified prime code (ML-WMPC) for three different multimedia services, such as data, voice, and video. Each service has a different bit rate than the other services and, hence, a different WMPC code length. In the network performance calculations, the multiple access interference (MAI) is included and considered as the only source of noise. In addition, to improve the network performance, the Manchester encoding and the MAI cancellation techniques are used with the WMPC at a higher number of active users. The network performance calculations are introduced in terms of BER for three kinds of PPM-OCDMA receivers, such as a simple receiver, receiver with MAI cancellation (MAIC), and receiver with MAIC and Manchester encoding technique. Finally, the BER calculation has been investigated at different bit rate according to the type of service provided by the network in the presence of the ML-WMPC and the third PPM-OCDMA receiver.
Omnidirectional Vision Systems: Calibration, Feature Extraction and 3D Information

This work focuses on central catadioptric systems, from the early step of calibration to high-level tasks such as 3D information retrieval. The book opens with a thorough introduction to the sphere camera model, along with an analysis of the relation between this model and actual central catadioptric systems. Then, a new approach to calibrate any single-viewpoint catadioptric camera is described. This is followed by an analysis of existing methods for calibrating central omnivision systems, and a detailed examination of hybrid two-view relations that combine images acquired with uncalibrated central catadioptric systems and conventional cameras. In the remaining chapters, the book discusses a new method to compute the scale space of any omnidirectional image acquired with a central catadioptric system, and a technique for computing the orientation of a hand-held omnidirectional catadioptric camera.
Capital Structure and Corporate Performance of Selected Firms on the Nigerian Stock Exchange

The capital structure of a firm is very important to the firm's successful operation. The objective of the study was to analyze the effects of Capital Structure on Corporate Performance of selected firms on the Nigerian Stock Exchange in Nigeria from 2011 to 2017. The study employed data from five multinational companies, using Micro Panel data as the estimated technique. Both the Random Effect Model and the Fixed Effect Model were estimated, and the Hausman effect was carried out to determine the appropriate model. The result shows that the effect of liquidity of the firms is negatively related to return on Asset (ROA). Hence, keeping funds in non-interest yielding form does not increase the ROA of the firms. Similarly, the short term debt financing (CLA) is negatively related to ROA. However, there is a positive relationship between long term debt financing and ROA. It noted that short term debt financing requires the payment of the debt in a short term, and this may not be convenient for the firms, and impair their performance. However, repaying long term debt may be convenient, and this may have a positive effect on the performance of the firms. Management of the quoted firms in Nigeria is strongly advised to increase the use of equity capital in financing to improve the earnings of their firms.

The research assessed the influence of corporate social responsibility on firm performance of manufacturing companies in Nigeria. The specific objective of the study was to examined the influence of corporate social responsibility on firm performance on manufacturing company in Nigeria. Data was extracted from the Annual financial report of a manufacturing company using both descriptive research method and correlation method while Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) were used to analyze the relationship which exist among the variables within the spanning year of 1994-2020. The result of the findings showed that there is correlation among the variable of interest which is a clear indication that corporate social responsibilities corporate social responsibilities has positive and significant impact on price earnings ratio, dividend yield and return on investment while corporate social responsibilities has negative and insignificant impact on earnings per share based on the analysis of this study of manufacturing firms in Nigeria. The research recommends that Management should create an enabling business environment where there is respect for sociocultural values and societal norms, equal chances and approach for all sexes, fairness and integrity in dealing with employees and customers, transparency and fairness to members of the public and employ a merit basis for granting contracts. A firm must show concern to the staff working conditions by practicing flexible working hours, equitable compensation, ensuring prompt promotion and internal advertisement, and striking a balance between work and family demands of employees.

Foldable intra ocular lens hydroimplantation Versus Foldable intra ocular lens hydroimplantation Versus viscoimplantation during phacoemulsification: Comparative study viscoimplantation during phacoemulsification: Comparative study

Background : Viscosurgical devices created a revolution in the progress of cataract surgery but with great advancement in cataract surgery and their corneal incisions, anterior chamber (AC) and bag stability can be achieved with other methods otherwise viscosurgical devices and the best method is hydroimplantation. Hydroimplantation can achieve the same effect as viscoimplantation with achieving approximate safety on ocular structures especially corneal endothelium and posterior capsule. Purpose : To compare implantation of a single-piece, foldable intraocular lens (IOL) using hydroimplantation to that of a standard implantation using an ophthalmic viscoelastic device (OVD) in terms of safety, frequency of complications during implantation, in ﬂ uence of the method on endothelial cell density (ECD), and postoperative changes in intraocular pressure (IOP). Methods : A prospective comparative clinical study was conducted on 120 eyes of 120 patients who underwent un-eventful phacoemulsi ﬁ cation by the same surgeon. Patients were divided into two groups after the completion of lens cortex removal. IOL implantation was performed with balanced salt solution irrigation in group H (n ¼ 60, hydro-implantation) and with OVD in group V (n ¼ 60, viscoimplantation). The main outcomes measured were postoperative changes in IOP, Corneal endothelium cell characteristics, time of surgery, and the frequency of complications. Results : Time of surgery was signi ﬁ cantly lower in group H than in group V (7.2 ± 1.1 min, 8.0 ± 1.3 min, respectively, P 0.001). There was a statistically signi ﬁ cant difference between both groups as regards; postoperative IOP after 1 day and 1 week. There was statistically signi ﬁ cant difference regarding IOP spikes; best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) after 1 week. Conclusions : Hydroimplantation technique is safe and effective in phacoemulsi ﬁ cation. Furthermore, reduced time of surgery and reduced cost of OVDs are the advantages of this technique.
Determination of Mechanical Parameters of Anthracite Coal using Flying Squirrel Search Algorithm with Timber Load and Displacement Data

Anthracite coal seam of Democratic People’s Republic of Korea was broken into particles to be soft due to geological tectonic actions through several stages in the Mesozoic era. Because the folds and faults have excessively developed and the shape of coal seam is very complicated, it is impossible to extract the anthracite coal by longwall mining system, and coal has been mainly mined by entry caving mining system. The aim of this work is to assess effectiveness of new combination of flying squirrel search algorithm (SSA) and artificial neural-network (ANN) for back-analysis of time-depending mechanical parameters of anthracite coal based on timber loads and displacements measured in the coal face entry. The case study deals with a coal face entry in Sinchang Coal Mine located in the Unsan County, South Pyongan Province, DPR Korea. To verify the good performance of new combination of the SSA and ANN, the comparison studies between proposed back-analysis method and other methods with the same purpose, are conducted using data measured in coal face entry. The mean absolute error (MAE) of weighted error norm of ANN-SSA is relatively smaller in comparison with other methods, which is 2.49. The new back-analysis is the good method to determine the suitable time-dependent mechanical parameters of anthracite coal surrounding the entry in very soft coal seam.
Simulation for Evolvement of Residential Spatial Patterns in Real Scene Based on Multi-agent

Multi-agent modeling provides a new method for urban research. And it is of theoretical and practical significance to adopt multi-agent modeling, a bottom-up approach, to build up the actual residential decision model, and to research the formation and evolvement of the urban residential spatial patterns. However, many multi-agent models usually describe space as homogeneous space which is beyond expression of real geo-space. In order to simulate the urban residential patterns, some evaluation indices of urban residential suitability in the human-environment science are introduced. Integrating multi-agent model with GIS can provide a heterogeneous and dynamic simulated environment. The model based on multi-agent is constructed as follows: simulated inhabitants wander through the universe to find the optimal place of residence according to constraints as their incomes and preference of residential environment. Evaluation indices, such as traffic accessibility, life convenience and landscape beauty, have been chosen and quantified by GIS. The migration decision of agent depends on the current residential pressure. It is suggested that the probability of leaving its current location increases monotonically with an increase in the residential pressure. Current residential pressure of an agent is estimated by the pressure caused by both basic house price and house environmental price. On the Swarm platform, Java language and component of Swarm-GIS are used to realize the model. The proposed model is applied to simulate the formation of residential spatial patterns in Haizhu district of Guangzhou, Guangdong province. The results of simulation reveal that downtown area is still the first choice of housing location for middle and high income residents in Guangzhou, which shows a different residential mode from Western developed countries. The Spearman rank correlation coefficient of simulated house price and actual house price exceeds 0.6, which indicates that the simulation result can reflect the rules in real practice. Although some uncertainty remains in the model, such as the lack of unified criteria for residential environment evaluation, randomness of house choice and the simplification of the model, the simulation can help us to understand and explore causes and dynamics of residential space patterns, and provide an important analytical tool and simulation method to develop and verify urban theories.
Changes in Socioeconomic Inequality of Low Birth Weight and Macrosomia in Shaanxi Province of Northwest China, 2010–2013

Abstract Socioeconomic disparities in birth weights (BWs) are associated with lifelong differences in health and productivity. Understanding socioeconomic disparities in BW is presently of concern to develop public health interventions that promote a good start in life in Northwest China. In the study, our objective is to investigate the socioeconomic disparities in low and high BW from 2010 to 2013 in this region. Those single live births were recruited using a stratified multistage sampling method in Shaanxi province from August to December 2013. Data were collected with a structured questionnaire and a review of birth certificates. Socioeconomic status (SES) was stratified based on the calculated household wealth index. Prevalence differences (PDs) and concentration indices (CIs) were used to depict the SES inequality of low BW (LBW) and macrosomia. Information for 28722 single live births born were obtained in Shaanxi province. From 2010 to 2013, the overall rates of LBW decreased, and the difference in LBW across differing SES groups decreased by 0.7% (boys, 0.4%; girls, 0.8%). From 2010 to 2013, the overall rates of macrosomia increased by 14.3% (boys, 17.5%; girls, 7.8%), whereas the PDs in macrosomia across various SES groups remained unchanged. From 2010 to 2013, concentration indices for SES inequalities in LBW and macrosomia confirmed the results shown by differences in prevalence. Compared with mothers of high SES, those in low SES group were significantly older, less educated, engaged in farming with less availabile healthcare, and engaged in unhealthy lifestyles (eg, exposure to secondhand smoke) during pregnancy, regardless of the baby's sex. From 2010 to 2013, in Shaanxi province, the negative association between socioeconomic status and LBW weakened. Rates of macrosomia were higher in those of high SES, but the SES disparities varied insignificantly over the same time. Our findings may provide valuable insights to direct healthcare policies for pregnant women to reduce inequalities in health, quality of life, and productivity for their children as they age into adulthood.
Population metabolism of millipedes at two altitudinal zones in the Central Alps (Tirol, Austria)

The respiratory metabolism of Enantiulus nanus (Latzel, 1884) from a mixed oak wood (670 m a.s.l.) and of 3 subalpine species, Leptoiulus saltuvagus (Verhoeff, 1898), Ochogona caroli (Rothenbuhler, 1900) and Haasea fonticulorum (Verhoeff, 1910) from an Alnus viridis community (2000 m) was measured using a Gilson respirometer and a Warburg respirometer with electronic manometers. Temperature (6-20°C) and mass-specific (E. n.: 2-17 mgfw; L. s.\ 3-75 mgfw; O. c.\ 1-10 mgfw; //./.: 2-12 mgfw) oxygen consumption values of these species are presented. The lowland species has its greatest sensitivity to temperature changes between 10°C and 15°C, the subalpine species between 6°C and 10°C with Qio-values between 3.1 and 7.9. Based on a mean E. nanus-biomass of 2.9 g fresh mass per m2 (= 73% of the total millipede-biomass) in the oak wood, the population metabolism of this species equalled 1488 ml O: m-i and year (= 30 KJ). In contrast a total millipede biomass of 2.2 g fresh mass per m2 in the subalpine site respires only 732 ml O 2 m-i and year (= 15 KJ). The most important single factor in determining the metabolism for field populations is its population structure and biomass. RESUME
Festival Economy: The Impact of Events on Sustainable Tourism

Tourism is like a “treasure” and needs to be developed in order to attract visitors to an area. The advantage of those who have a destination with the presence of various attractions, events, and local culture considered a bonus. The case study of the tourism sector in Samarinda City has not yet developed and is in line with expectations, therefore we have started aspects of the festival economic which are expanded into three dimensions (event management, sustainable tourism, and destination branding). Evaluation to find out how big its role is, filtered by multiple regression analysis. We collected the data based on surveys, in which it conducted direct interviews with respondents who had a good understanding of the local demographic, social and cultural conditions. The survey coverage has determined based on time and place considerations, so they aimed specifically it at the two-day “The 354th Anniversary of Samarinda City” in 2022. The outcome of this study concludes that event management has a significant effect on sustainable tourism and destination branding. In line with that, we also found that sustainable tourism has a significant effect on destination branding and sustainable tourism can play a significant role in both the relationship between event management and destination branding, because the results are significant. Further, our need to study to enrich our findings so that the novelty will continue. The novelty of the theoretical or practical landscape teaches about market segmentation in the middle of a transition, especially boosting tourism commodities towards new trends.
Cholesteatoma: Canalplasty for External Auditory Stenosis in a Pediatric Patient

External auditory canal (EAC) stenosis is the narrowing of the external auditory meatus to less than 4 mm. Severe stenosis of the EAC may inhibit the ability to conduct sound and may lead to the formation of a cholesteatoma. While most cases of EAC stenosis may be managed nonoperatively, the significant impact that the associated symptoms can have on patients may require surgical intervention. Progression of the cholesteatoma can erode the bony ossicles, may encase the facial nerve, and impact infection risk causing chronic otorrhea, and further worsening patient quality of life. We present the case of a pediatric patient who presented due to chronic left-sided hearing loss. Further examination and imaging demonstrated near-total obstruction of the left EAC secondary to a soft tissue mass and evidence of bony hypertrophy. Following a canalplasty, the patient now has returned to baseline hearing and has no associated complications. Canalplasty remains a safe, effective surgical intervention for EAC stenosis complicated by cholesteatoma.
Predictive Factors for Successful Cervical Ripening among Women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus at Term: A Prospective Study

The purpose of this prospective cohort study is to identify the predictive factors for vaginal delivery among women (n = 146) who underwent cervical ripening using a dinoprostone insert (PG) alone (13.7%), cervical ripening balloon (CRB) alone (52.7%), oral misoprostol (M) alone (4.1%), or repeated methods (R, 29.5%) for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) at term, and to analyze maternal and neonatal morbidity outcomes according to the method for cervical ripening. After cervical ripening, vaginal delivery occurred in 84.2% (n = 123) and was similar among groups (90.0% after PG, 83.1% after CRB, 83.3% after M, and 83.7% after R; p = 0.89). After a multivariable logistic regression analysis adjusted for potential confounders, the internal cervical os being open before cervical ripening was a predictor of vaginal delivery (adjusted odds ratio (OR) of 4.38, 95% confidence index (CI) of 1.62–13.3, p = 0.03), and previous cesarean delivery was a predictor of cesarean delivery (aOR of 7.67, 95% CI of 2.49–24.00, p < 0.01). Birthweight was also significantly associated with cesarean delivery (aOR of 1.15, 95% CI of 1.03–1.31, p = 0.02). The rates of maternal and neonatal morbidity outcomes were 10.9% (n = 16) and 19.9% (n = 29), respectively, and did not differ according to the mode of delivery and to the method used for cervical ripening. Identifying these specific high-risk women (previous cesarean delivery and internal cervical os being closed before cervical ripening) for cesarean delivery among women who underwent cervical ripening for GDM at term is important and practical for all physicians to make a decision in partnership with women.
