Linked List Implementation “Online learning”

Student enrollment in recent years and institutions of higher education have a keen interest in offering quality online MBA programs to meet the demands. This study aimed to develop an online learning platform. The project is a description of one of the methods of the Data Structure Course, which describes how to store data inside the Ram Memory. It is a website that contains a video to explain one of the methods of storing data within the memory of the computer, and the site contains a special page of training, which distinguishes it from the rest of the educational sites. The site helps to test the health of solving the issues of the student training on the lesson. The site shows how to use the pop front method, pop back method, push front method, push back method and delete the list from the memory. All of these functions could be difficult to imagine in reality, so the researchers designed a webpage to do this task. Keywords: Linked List; online learning; webpage design.
The Evaluation of the Role of (Pro)hepcidin in Anemia Encountered in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases

Objective: Hepcidin is a peptide that acts as a hormone that provides iron homeostasis in the body and has antimicrobial activity. The synthesis of hepcidin is stimulated during inflammation and causes inflammation anemia. For this purpose, we aimed to determine the role of (pro)hepcidin in anemia in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and its correlation with clinical and biochemical findings. Materials and Methods: A total of 61 patients, 19 (31.1%) of whom were diagnosed with Crohn’s disease (CD), 42 (68.9%) with ulcerative colitis (UC), and a control group of 23 were included. Hepcidin and biochemical parameters which are related to anemia were measured. Results: There was a significant difference between the CD group and vs control group in terms of hepcidin level. As the disease activity increases, the hepcidin level decreases with a probability of 83%. Hepcidin levels were found to be significantly lower in the CD group. Although hepcidin levels were lower in the UC group than in the control group, the result was not statistically significant. Conclusion: We didn’t detect a statistically significant difference in the level of hepcidin between IBD and the control group.
Modeling of a Flyback Converter Controlled by an IGBT for Generating a High-Frequency Pulse Voltage

With the rapid development of semiconductor devices, researchers have proposed different types of high-frequency pulse voltage generators based on power electronic converters to meet the requirements of microorganism inactivation, water pollution purification, and piezoelectric and dielectric electroactive polymer drives. The transient modeling of these high-voltage converters aids in understanding the electrical characteristics of the devices and optimizing their performances. This article analyzes the electrical behavior of a semiconductor switching device (i.e., an insulated gate bipolar transistor) used during the switching transient of the converter and constructs an electromagnetic transient model of the flyback converter that considers both the parasitic elements and the ferromagnetic losses of the transformer. The accuracy of the proposed model is then verified by comparing calculation results obtained using the model with experimental measurement results.
D-CEWS: DEVS-Based Cyber-Electronic Warfare M&S Framework for Enhanced Communication Effectiveness Analysis in Battlefield

Currently, in the field of military modernization, tactical networks using advanced unmanned aerial vehicle systems, such as drones, place an emphasis on proactively preventing operational limiting factors produced by cyber-electronic warfare threats and responding to them. This characteristic has recently been highlighted as a key concern in the functioning of modern network-based combat systems in research on combat effect analysis. In this paper, a novel discrete-event-system-specification-based cyber-electronic warfare M&S (D-CEWS) was first proposed as an integrated framework for analyzing communication effects and engagement effects on cyber-electronic warfare threats and related countermeasures that may occur within drones. Accordingly, for the first time, based on communication metrics in tactical ad hoc networks, an analysis was conducted on the engagement effect of blue forces by major wireless threats, such as multi-layered jamming, routing attacks, and network worms. In addition, the correlations and response logics between competitive agents were also analyzed in order to recognize the efficiency of mutual engagements between them based on the communication system incapacitation scenarios for diverse wireless threats. As a result, the damage effect by the cyber-electronic warfare threat, which could not be considered in the existing military M&S, could be calculated according to the PDR (packet delivery ratio) and related malicious pool rate change in the combat area, and the relevance with various threats by a quantifiable mission attribute given to swarming drones could also be additionally secured.
Feasibility of control of particle assembly by dielectrophoresis in liquid-cell transmission electron microscopy

Abstract Liquid-cell transmission electron microscopy (LC-TEM) is a useful technique for observing phenomena in liquid samples with spatial and temporal resolutions similar to those of conventional transmission electron microscopy (TEM). This method is therefore expected to permit the visualization of phenomena previously inaccessible to conventional optical microscopy. However, dynamic processes such as nucleation are difficult to observe by this method because of difficulties in controlling the condition of the sample liquid in the observation area. To approach this problem, we focused on dielectrophoresis, in which electrodes are used to assemble particles, and we investigated the phenomena that occurred when an alternating-current signal was applied to an electrode in an existing liquid cell by using a phase-contrast optical microscope (PCM) and TEM. In PCM, we observed that colloidal particles in a solution were attracted to the electrodes to form assemblies, that the particles aligned along the electric field to form pearl chains and that the pearl chains accumulated to form colloidal crystals. However, these phenomena were not observed in the TEM study because of differences in the design of the relevant holders. The results of our study imply that the particle assembly by using dielectrophoretic forces in LC-TEM should be possible, but further studies, including electric device development, will be required to realize this in practice.
A prototype of quantum von Neumann architecture

A modern computer system, based on the von Neumann architecture, is a complicated system with several interactive modular parts. It requires a thorough understanding of the physics of information storage, processing, protection, readout, etc. Quantum computing, as the most generic usage of quantum information, follows a hybrid architecture so far, namely, quantum algorithms are stored and controlled classically, and mainly the executions of them are quantum, leading to the so-called quantum processing units. Such a quantum–classical hybrid is constrained by its classical ingredients, and cannot reveal the computational power of a fully quantum computer system as conceived from the beginning of the field. Recently, the nature of quantum information has been further recognized, such as the no-programming and no-control theorems, and the unifying understandings of quantum algorithms and computing models. As a result, in this work, we propose a model of a universal quantum computer system, the quantum version of the von Neumann architecture. It uses ebits (i.e. Bell states) as elements of the quantum memory unit, and qubits as elements of the quantum control unit and processing unit. As a digital quantum system, its global configurations can be viewed as tensor-network states. Its universality is proved by the capability to execute quantum algorithms based on a program composition scheme via a universal quantum gate teleportation. It is also protected by the uncertainty principle, the fundamental law of quantum information, making it quantum-secure and distinct from the classical case. In particular, we introduce a few variants of quantum circuits, including the tailed, nested, and topological ones, to characterize the roles of quantum memory and control, which could also be of independent interest in other contexts. In all, our primary study demonstrates the manifold power of quantum information and paves the way for the creation of quantum computer systems in the near future.
Resilience strategies for flood risk management in the Netherlands

Abstract A comparison is made between the current flood risk management policy in the Netherlands, which is a resistance strategy aimed at the prevention of flooding along the lower Rhine River by raising the dikes, and two alternative resilience strategies that aim at minimising the consequences of these floods, but at the same time allow some flooding. The alternative strategies rely on detention in compartments and on discharge via “green rivers”. These strategies were evaluated on their financial impacts (costs and flood damage) and on their impacts on economy, ecology and landscape, as well as on flexibility. The tangible effects, such as costs and damage were calculated using mathematical models; experts awarded scores to the intangibles, such as landscape quality and ecology. It is concluded that the initial costs of the resilience strategies are high whereas the gains, a reduction of the flood risk, will only be perceivable in the long term. On the other hand, the resilience strategies are more flexible and offer more opportunities for nature and landscape development
QUALITY FACTOR FOR PASSIVE INDUCTORS AT THE RESONANT FREQUENCY

Copyright ©2016 by authors and Institute of Technology Galileo of Amazon (ITEGAM). This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY 4.0). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ ABSTRACT This article reports a study of a method of obtaining the quality factor (Q factor) of passive inductors calculated at the resonant frequency. A literature search about the main methods of obtaining the Q factor was carried out, analyzing its limitations and how the proposed method can be applied. In order to evaluate the method, it addressed the modeling of a passive inductor using ASITIC tool in obtaining the characteristics and inducing behavior for later analysis using the PSPICE tool.
Analytical Model of Eccentric Induction Machines Using the Conformal Winding Tensor Approach

Induction machines (IMs) are a critical component of many industrial processes, and their failure can cause large economic losses. Condition-based maintenance systems (CBMs) that are capable of detecting their failures at an incipient stage can reduce these risks by continuously monitoring the IMs’ condition. The development and reliable operations of CBMs systems require rapid modeling of the faulty IM. Due to the fault-induced IM asymmetries, these models are much more complex than those used for a healthy IM. In particular, a mixed eccentricity fault (static and dynamic), which can degenerate into rubbing and destruction of the rotor, produces a non-uniform IM air gap that is different for each rotor position, which makes its very difficult to calculate the IM’s inductance matrix. In this work, a new analytical model of an eccentric IM is presented. It is based on the winding tensor approach, which allows a clear separation between the air gap and winding-related faults. Contrary to previous approaches, where complex expressions have been developed for obtaining mutual inductances between conductors and windings of an eccentric IM, a conformal transformation is proposed in this work, which allows using the simple inductance expressions of a healthy IM. This novel conformal winding tensor approach (CWFA) is theoretically explained and validated with the diagnosis of two commercial IMs with a mixed eccentricity fault.
Intake of Natural, Unprocessed Tiger Nuts (Cyperus esculentus L.) Drink Significantly Favors Intestinal Beneficial Bacteria in a Short Period of Time

Horchata is a natural drink obtained from tiger nut tubers (Cyperus esculentus L.). It has a pleasant milky aspect and nutty flavor; some health benefits have been traditionally attributed to it. This study evaluated the effects of an unprocessed horchata drink on the gut microbiota of healthy adult volunteers (n = 31) who consumed 300 mL of natural, unprocessed horchata with no added sugar daily for 3 days. Although there were no apparent microbial profile changes induced by horchata consumption in the studied population, differences could be determined when volunteers were segmented by microbial clusters. Three distinctive enterogroups were identified previous to consuming horchata, respectively characterized by the relative abundances of Blautia and Lachnospira (B1), Bacteroides (B2) and Ruminococcus and Bifidobacterium (B3). After consuming horchata, samples of all volunteers were grouped into two clusters, one enriched in Akkermansia, Christenellaceae and Clostridiales (A1) and the other with a remarkable presence of Faecalibacterium, Bifidobacterium and Lachnospira (A2). Interestingly, the impact of horchata was dependent on the previous microbiome of each individual, and its effect yielded microbial profiles associated with butyrate production, which are typical of a Mediterranean or vegetable/fiber-rich diet and could be related to the presence of high amylose starch and polyphenols.
Live Public Transport Information Service Using Crowdsourced Data (Demo Paper)

Abstract—Infrastructural problems of modern cities cannot be solved through sheer power of will alone. The public transportation system is one of the most effected parts and as the situation is degrading, more and more people become reluctant to take public transport. The fine tuning of the system, or even its restructuring, requires an immense amount of data, which traditionally can only be collected via costly and time consuming ways, like deploying sensors, conveying surveys, just to name a few. Not to mention that during this process, the citizens do not experience too much improvement, and become easily skeptical concerning the outcomes. Is there really no other way? In this demo, we present and demonstrate our approach to solve this problem in the form of a smart phone application providing real-time feedback on public transport, transits, and user-reviews based on crowdsensing.
Influences of Factors Affecting the Farmers' Network of Safe Vegetable Productions

The influences of factors affecting the farmers' network of safe vegetable productions consisted of factor for motivation to build the network, factor for demand or consumers' preference, factor for related network supporting and the competition strategies. Totally 53 questionnaires were derived from the farmers who cultivated the safe vegetable in Muang and Bang Rakham districts, Phitsanulok Province and participated on safe vegetable production by using biopesticide for pest control during 9th-10th June 2012 at Naresuan University. The structural equation model was analyzed by using PLS-Graph program including multiple regression analysis, factor analysis and causal influence analysis. It was found that the competition strategies, the related network supporting and the motivation to build the network were direct influences over the farmers' network of safe vegetable productions. Their path coefficients showed as 0.427, 0.373 and 0.235, respectively and their deviation was 81.4%. At the meantime, the consumers' preference and the motivation to build the network were indirect influences over the farmers' network of safe vegetable productions at 0.419 and 0.215, respectively. The model were statistical significant at 95% levels of confidence. Moreover, sustain in farmers' network of safe vegetable productions was depended on motivation of the network building. It means vegetable production leaders and members desire to provide the healthy and safety food to consumers. The promoting factors for carry out the network were consisted of related network supporting, business and demand condition or consumers' preference. อทธพลของปจจยทสงผลตอเครอขายเกษตรกรผลตผกปลอดภย ไดแก แรงจงใจ ในการสรางเครอขาย ความตองการของผบรโภค การเชอมโยงเครอขายทใหการสนบสนน ซงกนและกน และกลยทธในการแขงขน ทสงผลตอเครอขายเกษตรกรผลตผกปลอดภย จากการสอบถามขอมลกลมเกษตรกรผผลตผกปลอดภยตาง ๆ อำเภอเมอง และ บางระกำ จงหวดพษณโลก จำนวน 53 ตวอยาง จากผทเขารบการอบรมเชงปฏบตการการผลตพช เพอใหไดผลผลตทปลอดภยดวยการใชจลนทรยควบคมศตรพช วนท 9-10 มถนายน 2555 ณ มหาวทยาลยนเรศวร โดยใชโปรแกรม PLS-Graph วเคราะหแบบจำลองสมการโครงสราง ดวยวธทางสถตการวเคราะหถดถอยพห วเคราะหองคประกอบ และวเคราะหอทธพล เชงสาเหต ในคราวเดยวกน พบวา ปจจยการเชอมโยงใหการสนบสนนซงกนและกน กลยทธในการแขงขน และแรงจงใจในการสรางเครอขาย มอทธพลทางตรงตอเครอขาย เกษตรกรผลตผกปลอดภย มคาสมประสทธมาตรฐานเทากบ 0.427 0.373 และ 0.235 ตามลำดบ และมคาความแปรปรวนของปจจยเครอขายเกษตรกรผลตผกปลอดภย คดเปน รอยละ 81.4 สวนปจจยความตองการของผบรโภคและปจจยแรงจงใจในการสรางเครอขาย มอทธพลโดยออมตอเครอขายเกษตรกรผลตผกปลอดภย เทากบ 0.309 และ 0.419 ตามลำดบ การวเคราะหขอมลมนยสำคญทางสถตทระดบความเชอมนรอยละ 95 ดงนน เครอขายเพอผลผลตปลอดภยจะคงอยนน ยอมขนอยกบปจจยแรงจงใจ การสรางเครอขาย หมายถง ความปรารถนาของผนำและสมาชกตองการใหผบรโภคมอาหาร ในการบรโภคทมความปลอดภยตอสขภาพ และปจจยทสงเสรมใหเครอขายสามารถ ดำเนนการอย ไดแก ปจจยการเชอมโยงทใหการสนบสนนซงกนและกน ปจจยกลยทธ ธรกจการแขงขน และปจจยความตองการของผบรโภค
ABORDAJE PREVENTIVO EN LA ENFERMEDAD POR HÍGADO GRASO NO ALCOHÓLICO

La obesidad es actualmente un problema de salud pública a nivel mundial. Ésta se caracteriza por afectar a múltiples órganos, entre ellos el hígado, desarrollándose enfermedades como la enfermedad de hígado graso no alcohólico (EHGNA), la cual predispone al desarrollo de carcinoma hepatocelular. En esta revisión se discute la asociación entre la obesidad y la EHGNA, enfatizando un abordaje preventivo y de intervención en etapas tempranas de la enfermedad, así como los potenciales efectos de algunos compuestos bioactivos presentes en la dieta. Al respecto es recomendable centrar la intervención en mejorar el IMC, a través de un programa de actividad física, educación nutricional y de salud, y cambios en los patrones dietéticos. La inclusión de alimentos ricos en compuestos bioactivos, como los compuestos fenólicos, fibra y vitaminas pueden proveer de un efecto antioxidante, antiinflamatorio y anti-obesogénico que podrían obstaculizar la progresión de la EHGNA, y otras comorbilidades y complicaciones.
False Data Injection Detection for Phasor Measurement Units

Cyber-threats are becoming a big concern due to the potential severe consequences of such threats is false data injection (FDI) attacks where the measures data is manipulated such that the detection is unfeasible using traditional approaches. This work focuses on detecting FDIs for phasor measurement units where compromising one unit is sufficient for launching such attacks. In the proposed approach, moving averages and correlation are used along with machine learning algorithms to detect such attacks. The proposed approach is tested and validated using the IEEE 14-bus and the IEEE 30-bus test systems. The proposed performance was sufficient for detecting the location and attack instances under different scenarios and circumstances.
Surface Complexation Modelling of Wettability Alteration during Carbonated Water Flooding

CO2 capture and utilization is an effective tool in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and hence, combating global warming. In the present study, surface complexation modeling (SCM) with the geochemistry solver, PHREEQ-C, was utilized to predict the wettability alteration of minerals, sandstone reservoir rocks (SRR), and pseudo-sandstone rocks (PSR) and mineral mixtures during carbonated water (CW) injection. The bond products, which is defined as the product of the mole fraction of oppositely charged mineral and oil surfaces, were calculated to estimate the wettability preferences. For the studied fluid systems, the results from SCM predicted that albite and quartz minerals were strongly water-wet while calcite was strongly oil-wet with formation water (FW). When it came to clay minerals, illite and montmorillonite were more oil-wet than quartz and less oil-wet than calcite. During CW injection (CWI), the wettability preferences of dominant minerals (considering weight and surface area) in SRR (i.e., quartz and calcite) were changed toward more water-wet, while for the clay minerals, the result was the opposite. The results from SCM showed that the wettability preferences of SRR were water-wet in both CW and FW. Moreover, increasing the amount of the water-wet minerals in mineral mixtures increased the rock’s tendency to become more water-wet.
Analysis of Rapid Rehabilitation Effect of Children with Severe Viral Encephalitis Based on Continuous Nursing of Omaha System

Objective To establish the Omaha System-based intensive care of children with viral encephalitis, compared with the conventional nursing applied in children with severe viral encephalitis for children with clinical symptoms, motor function, the incidence of complications, and the influence of quality of life, to intensive care of children with viral encephalitis way provide certain scientific basis. Methods 62 cases of severe viral encephalitis diagnosed and treated in our hospital from X month 20XX to X month 20XX were randomly divided into 31 cases of intervention group and 31 cases of control group. The control group received routine nursing, and the intervention group added Omaha system on the basis of the control group. The recovery time of clinical symptoms and signs, FMA score, disability rate, quality of life, and satisfaction of family members were compared between the two groups. Results The recovery time of clinical signs in the intervention group was shorter than that in the control group. Motor function was improved in both groups, but the improvement effect in intervention group was higher than that in control group. The quality of life in both groups was improved 1–3 months after discharge, but the improvement effect in the intervention group was higher than that in the control group. The incidence of physical dysfunction and behavioral abnormalities was low in the pregroup, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05), but the difference between language impairment and intellectual impairment was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). Conclusion Omaha system nursing can significantly reduce the recovery time of clinical signs, improve FMA score, reduce disability rate, and improve the quality of life and family satisfaction of children with severe viral encephalitis.
Normative or Effective? The Role of News Diversity and Trust in News Recommendation Services

Abstract In recent years, online news portals have initiated the use of algorithms to recommend news. The purpose of this study was to determine how the perceived personalization of Naver News users affects continuance intention through the mediation of trust, user satisfaction, and perceived usefulness. Moreover, this study investigated how the perceived news diversity affects continuance intention through the mediation of user satisfaction and perceived usefulness, using data collected from 451 participants in South Korea. Research findings revealed that perceived personalization had a positive effect on continuance intention through the mediation of trust, user satisfaction, and perceived usefulness. Furthermore, perceived news diversity had a positive effect on continuance intention through the mediation of user satisfaction, a finding that has not been outlined in previous studies. This study also shares several practical implications that might be of interest to news aggregators and portals toward increasing their users’ trust, and satisfaction.
