Low-Cost Inkjet-Printed RFID Tag Antenna Design for Remote Healthcare Applications

This paper presents a low-cost, inkjet printed radio frequency identification (RFID) tag antenna for remote healthcare applications. The electrically small tag consists of nested-slot configuration and parallel strips. The tag antenna is exploited as a sensor by modifying its equivalent circuit to mitigate the effects of water, blood sample phantom, and the human body. As a result, the proposed RFID tag antenna with compact dimensions of 40 × 14 mm2, features a conjugate match with Impinj R6 RFID chip ranging from 890 to 937 MHz. Moreover, this tag has a read range of 3 m, 2.5 m, and 1.5 m on the water bottle, intravenous (IV) solution and blood bag, respectively. However, the read range of RFID tag on an empty water bottle or IV solution bag is 0.5 m. By comparing the read range of tag on empty and solution filled IV bags, the proposed tag was used as a water proximity sensor. Experimental testing of the tag is performed for sensing the level of the IV solution. Also, this tag is tested after mounting on the liquid mixture (a mixture of salt and sugar is used as a phantom to mimic the blood) filled plastic bags, which leads to a low-cost solution for blood storage management. Experimental results show a good agreement of the proposed tag toward its use in healthcare applications, which leads to better healthcare facilitation regarding cost, time, and care.

Improving Hadoop Performance in Handling Small Files

Hadoop is an open Source software stack for processing unstructured and semi-structured data over the cluster of Commodity hardware. It is a reliable, scalable and low cost solution for storing and processing huge amounts of data in a distributed form. It is designed for processing and handling large files and faces performance penalty while dealing with large number of small files. The large number of small files put a heavy burden on the namenode memory resulting in high Namenode memory usage. Also processing large number of small files requires many map phases which increase the overall map execution time. This Paper describes the MapReduce merge mechanism to merge large number of small files into a single merge file and then store and process the corresponding Merge File. The small files are given as input to a Map phase with key as filename and value as key size which adds the files greater than some threshold (85 % of the block size of 64 MB) to the list. This list is forwarded to the Reduce phase that Outputs the Merged File. This approach is quite effective than previous solutions with less node metadata memory requirement and Improved Map execution time. Keywords—Hadoop; MapReduce; HDFS; Namenode; Small Files;

Sulphate mineralization from one locality in Lozen ore field, Eastern Rhodopes

A suite of sulphates from a locality in Lozen ore field in the Eastern Rhodopes has been characterized by chemical analyses and X-ray diffraction. Three mineral species have been identified: epsomite (MgSO4), pickeringite (MgAl2(SO4)4•22H2O) and alunogen (Al2(SO4)3•17H2O). An attempt was made to characterize the phase transformations that occur upon wetting of the studied samples. The results show that at high humidity, pickeringite dissolves, providing constituents for subsequent crystallization of epsomite and alunogen. Further on, upon drying alunogen loses some of its crystallization water and recrystallizes again to pickeringite including magnesium species from the surrounding medium. This study draws light on certain genetic aspects related to the mechanisms and sequence of deposition of sulphate mineralization under similar conditions.
Deforestación, reforma agraria y desarrollo petrolero en Ecuador, 1964-1994*

Recent biodiversity research in the Western Amazon has emphasized the linkages among road construction, deforestation and loss of indigenous lands. Many observers have concluded that hydrocarbon production inevitably means destruction of forests and expropriation of native territory. Yet evidence from the eastern lowlands of Ecuador (known as the Oriente) shows that oil can be developed without roads or harmful impacts. The Oriente also provides another contrasting case: in areas where no oil was discovered, the government often built roads to support its agricultural colonization efforts. In these areas, a great deal of deforestation and indigenous displacement occurred. Such evidence suggests that a different set of agrarian and environmental policies might permit oil activity without loss of rain forest or indigenous territory.
Usage Statistics

SUMMARY “You can't manage what you can't measure” is the popular quote attributed to Peter Drucker. E-metrics is all about measuring for the purpose of managing the many aspects of e-content and e-collections. The notion of what to measure and how to manage depends on your perspective, however. There are a number of players in the online information business. For this talk we will focus on three of them: libraries, publishers, and aggregators. Each of these participants has somewhat different requirements for e-metrics. The subtitle of this presentation is “Taking E-Metrics to the Next Level. ” We will start with the prerequisite look at why we need usage statistics. This will be followed by a discussion and examples of reports available today and a look at some of the challenges faced when e-metrics are provided from several sources. Next will be an overview of some of the standard efforts in process that could reduce or eliminate these challenges. Finally, we will look ahead to expanding uses of e-metrics and some additional challenges to be faced as well.
Rapid subglacial streamlined bedform formation at a calving bay margin

Using the LiDAR‐derived Swedish national height model we have identified previously undescribed shallow streamlined glacial bedforms, small‐scale drumlins, on the Närke plain in south‐central Sweden. These drumlins could only be detected with high‐resolution LiDAR, due to both their subtle size and forest cover. In this area the ice margin receded in a subaqueous environment with a proglacial water depth in the order of 100 m during the last deglaciation. As indicated by the configuration of marginally formed De Geer moraine ridges draping the drumlinoids, the receding ice margin formed deeply indented calving bays. These were located around subaqueous outlets of the subglacial melt‐water drainage, with their apex position marked geomorphologically by beaded esker ridges. The mapped small‐scale drumlins are aligned perpendicular to the reconstructed ice sheet margin and suggest formation along flow lines adjusted to the configuration of these calving embayments as they propagated up‐flow with ice margin retreat. Based on these geometric relationships we argue that the emplacement of the drumlins was near‐marginal, ∼7.7–1 km from the margin, on a short timescale (∼5–35 years).
Effect of dietary utilization of seed meal of cooked African locust bean (Parkia biglobosa) in Broiler Chickens

Present study was conducted to ascertain the effect of cooked African locust bean seed meal (CALBSM) diets on the growth response, organs weights and carcass characteristics of broiler chickens. Two hundred and twenty five day old broiler chickens (Marshall strain) were fed with diets containing CALBSM at dietary level 0, 7.5, 15, 22.5 and 30%, designated as Treatment 1, 2, 3 ,4 and 5. Diets were allocated with three replicates (n = 45) to experimental animals in a completely randomized design (CRD). The experiment lasted 9 weeks (4 weeks for initial phase, 1 week adjustment period and 4 weeks final phase). The results of growth response at initial phase showed significant differences (P<0.05) in final body weight (977.00 to 1194.33 g), total feed intake (1853.51 to 1905.96 g) and feed conversion ratio (1.63 to 1.79). The highest weight gain and better performance were recorded in chicks fed with 15% CALBSM based diets compared to others. Similarly, the performance of broiler chicken at final phase showed the significant differences (P< 0.05) in the final body weight (2585.75 to 2976.69 g), total weight gain of chicks (957.70 to 1369.70 g) and feed cost per weight gain (181.32 to 239.27 N/kg gain). Higher weight gains in all phases were recorded for broiler chickens fed 15% CALBSM based diet compared to others. Carcass weight (1661.24 to 2020.51 g) and dressing percentages (69.88 to 73.20%) were significantly (P<0.05) higher in chicks fed 15% CALBSM diet over others. Breast muscle (17.79 to 22.27%), thigh and drumstick (16.78 to 19.84%) were significantly (P<0.05) affected by the dietary treatments. Results indicates that most of the organs (heart, lungs, pancreas and kidney) weight but liver did not show significant differences (P<0.05). However, there were significant differences (P<0.05) in the weight of gizzards and small intestines. Present findings lead authors to conclude that African locust bean seed meal cooked for 4 hours could be included in the diet of broiler chickens up 15% dietary level without any adverse effect on growth response, organs weights and carcass characteristics.
“Spread is like wildfire”: Attracting and retaining attention in COVID19 science tweetorials

Digital spaces offer scientists new ways to share scientific knowledge with a broad public audience, in some cases leading to the emergence of new genres. This paper examines one new genre intended to inform a non-expert audience about scientific content: the informational tweet thread, or tweetorial. More specifically, the paper explores the rhetorical structure of 50 tweetorials on COVID19 content, focusing on how writers use rhetorical moves to share scientific information and to attract and retain readers’ attention in the content-saturated space of social media. The analysis identifies eight rhetorical moves that regularly appear in these COVID19 tweetorial introduction and body posts. The moves emphasize urgency through their focus on immediate exigencies and their repetition and recirculation throughout a thread. The study’s findings contribute to a growing body of research on public science genres and how they support the goals of Open Science.
Trace2Vec-CDD: A Framework for Concept Drift Detection in Business Process Logs using Trace Embedding *

: Business processes are subject to changes during their execution over time due to new legislation, seasonal effects, etc. Detection of process changes is alternatively called business process drift detection. Currently, existing methods unfavorably subject the accuracy of drift detection to the effects of window size. Furthermore, most methods have to struggle with the problem of selecting appropriate features specifying the relations between traces or events. This paper draws on the notion of trace embedding to propose a new framework for automatic detection of suddenly occurring process drifts. The main contributions of the proposed approach are: i) It is independent of windows; ii) Trace embedding that is used for drift detection makes it possible to automatically extract all features from relations among traces; iii) As attested by synthetic event logs, this approach is superior to current methods in terms of accuracy and drift detection delay.

Background: Evidence indicates that poor nurse‑client relationships within maternal and child health (MCH) continues to impact trust in formal healthcare systems, service uptake, continuity with care and MCH outcomes. This necessitates contextualized innovative solutions that places both nurses and clients at the forefront as agents of change in optimizing intervention designs and implementation. This study explored nurses and clients’ perspectives on the factors shaping nurse‑client relationships in MCH care to generate evidence to guide subsequent steps of human centered design (HCD) that involve designing effective strategies for improving therapeutic relationships in Shinyanga, Tanzania. Methods: Qualitative descriptive design was employed. About 9 Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and 12 Key Inform‑ ant Interviews (KIIs) with purposefully selected nurses and midwives, women attending MCH services and administra‑ tors were conducted using semi‑structured interview guides in Swahili language. Data were transcribed and trans‑ lated simultaneously, managed using Nvivo Software and analyzed thematically. Results: Factors shaping nurse‑client relationships were heuristically categorized into nurse, client and health system factors. Nurse contributors of poor relationship ranged from poor reception and hospitality, not expressing care and concern, poor communication and negative attitudes, poor quality of services, job dissatisfaction and unstable mental health. Client contributors of poor relationship include being ‘much know’, late attendance, non‑adherence to procedures and instructions, negative attitudes, poor communication, inadequate education and awareness, poverty, dissatisfaction with care, faith in traditional healers and unstable mental health. Health system contributors were inad‑ equate resources, poor management practices, inadequate policy implementation and absence of an independent department or agency for gathering and management of complaints. Suggestions for improving nurse‑client rela‑ tionship included awards and recognition of good nurses, improving
Swarmanoid: A Novel Concept for the Study of Heterogeneous Robotic Swarms

Swarm robotics systems are characterized by decentralized control, limited communication between robots, use of local information, and emergence of global behavior. Such systems have shown their potential for flexibility and robustness [1]-[3]. However, existing swarm robotics systems are by and large still limited to displaying simple proof-of-concept behaviors under laboratory conditions. It is our contention that one of the factors holding back swarm robotics research is the almost universal insistence on homogeneous system components. We believe that swarm robotics designers must embrace heterogeneity if they ever want swarm robotics systems to approach the complexity required of real-world systems.
Epoxidation of Soybean Oil and its Blend with Waste Cooking Oil Using H 2 SO 4 as Homogeneous Catalyst

Epoxidation of soybean oil is carried out at different conditions such as the feed ratio of C=C/CH 3 COOH/H 2 O 2 (1:1:1, 1:1:2, 1:2:1, 1:2:2, 1:2:4), reaction temperature (50 °C, 65 °C) and reaction time (3–7 h). Physicochemical properties of the reagent and product such as viscosity at 40 °C and 100 °C, viscosity index, iodine index as well as FT-IR spectral analysis are studied to find out suitable epoxidation reaction conditions. The experiment results showed that conversion of C=C in soybean oil through epoxidation could reach high value (96.0 %) at 65 °C for 5 h of reaction with the C=C/CH 3 COOH/H 2 O 2 molar ratio of 1:2:4 and viscosity index of epoxidised product was 156. IR results of the epoxidised oil obtained also exhibits that the peaks characteristic for the C=C bond disappear and the peaks characterising for epoxy rings are observed in the product, supporting evidence for epoxidation. Epoxidation of soybean oil blended with waste cooking oil (90:10) is performed at the above suitable condition. The obtained results exhibited that C=C conversion of blended oil could still reach above 98 % and viscosity index of epoxidised oil is 151. The FT-IR spectral analysis of the epoxidised oil also clearly shows the appearance of peaks characterizing the epoxy ring.

DNA is often referred to as the “ molecule of life ” since it contains the genetic blueprint for all forms of life on this planet. The core building blocks composing DNA are deoxynucleotides. While the deoxyribose sugar and phosphate group are ubiquitous, it is the composition and spatial arrangement of the four natural nucleobases, adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T), that provide diversity in the coding information present in DNA. The ability of DNA to function as the genetic blueprint has historically been attributed to the formation of proper hydrogen bonding interactions made between complementary nucleobases. However, recent chemical and biochemical studies using nucleobase-modi ﬁ ed nucleotides that contain “ non-hydrogen bonding ” functional groups have challenged many of the dogmatic views for the necessity of hydrogen-bonding interactions for DNA stability and function. Based on years of exciting research, this area has expanded tremendously and is thus too expansive to provide a comprehensive review on the topic. As such, this review article provides an opinion highlighting how nucleobase-modi ﬁ ed nucleotides are being applied in diverse biomedical ﬁ elds, focusing on three exciting areas of research. The ﬁ rst section addresses how these analogs are used as mechanistic probes for DNA polymerase activity and ﬁ delity during replication. This section outlines the synthetic logic and medicinal chemistry approaches used to replace hydrogen-bonding functional groups to examine the contributions of shape/size, nucleobase hydrophobicity, and pi-electron interactions. The second section extends these mechanistic studies to provide insight into how nucleobase-modi ﬁ ed nucleosides are used in synthetic biology. One example is through expansion of the genetic code in which changing the composition of DNA makes it possible to site-speci ﬁ cally incorporate unnatural amino acids bearing unique functional groups into enzymes and receptors. The ﬁ nal section describes results of pre-clinical studies using nucleobase-modi ﬁ ed nucleosides as potential therapeutic agents against diseases such as cancer.
Recognition of Microbe-and Damage-Associated Molecular Patterns by Leucine-Rich Repeat Pattern Recognition Receptor Kinases Confers Salt Tolerance in Plants

In plants, a first layer of inducible immunity is conferred by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) that bind microbe-and damage-associated molecular patterns to activate pattern-triggered immunity (PTI). PTI is strengthened or followed by another potent form of immunity when intracellular receptors recognize pathogen effectors, termed effector-triggered immunity. Immunity signaling regulators have been reported to influence abiotic stress responses as well, yet the governing principles and mechanisms remain ambiguous. Here, we report that PRRs of a leucine-rich repeat ectodomain also confer salt tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana , following recognition of cognate ligands such as bacterial flagellin (flg22 epitope) and elongation factor Tu (elf18 epitope), and the endogenous Pep peptides. Pattern-triggered salt tolerance (PTST) requires authentic PTI signaling components; namely, the PRR-associated kinases BAK1 and BIK1 and the NADPH oxidase RBOHD . Exposure to salt stress induces the release of Pep precursors, pointing to the involvement of the endogenous immunogenic peptides in developing plant tolerance to high salinity. Transcriptome profiling reveals an inventory of PTST target genes, which increase or acquire salt responsiveness following a preexposure to immunogenic patterns. In good accordance, plants challenged with nonpathogenic bacteria also acquired salt tolerance in a manner dependent on PRRs. Our findings provide insight into signaling plasticity underlying biotic or abiotic stress cross-tolerance in plants conferred by PRRs.
Research Progress of Maxillary Sinus Cyst and Maxillary Posterior Dental Region Implantation

The loss of single or multiple teeth in the maxillary posterior region usually leads to alveolar bone resorption, atrophy, and maxillary sinus cavity gasification, resulting in insufficient vertical bone height of the maxillary posterior alveolar bone, which brings great difficulties to tooth implantation. Maxillary sinus floor lifting is an important method to solve the posterior maxillary bone mass deficiency, which can be divided into internal lifting and external lifting. In order to avoid the occurrence of complications such as maxillary sinus mucosa perforation and facilitate the selection of surgical methods, it is particularly important to accurately understand the anatomical characteristics of maxillary sinus before surgery. Maxillary sinus cyst is the most common benign disease of maxillary sinus. It has always been considered as an absolute contraindication for maxillary sinus floor elevation bone grafting, which seriously restricts the possibility of maxillary sinus bone increment. This article reviews the research progress of maxillary sinus cyst and maxillary posterior dental implantation at home and abroad.
