Deep learning is a spectrum of machine learning which uses advanced neural networks to solve the various machine learning problems. Its working is very similar to the working of a human brain where the models take decision based on various input parameters. There are multiple open source libraries which implement neural networks, like Tensorflow, Theano, PyTorch, Keras etc. In this paper we have proposed a generic architecture that can be used for any type of classification problems with binary output or classification output using Deep Learning model: Artificial Neural Network (ANN). In the architectural model after Data preprocessing we first build the ANN classifier using Keras library with Tensorflow backends, second step we have apply Cross-validation method for better accuracy. Then we perform Dropout Regularization method for preventing from overfitting and at last we have applied grid search technique for parameter tuning that basically will test several combinations of Hyperparameter values and will eventually return the best selection choice with K-Fold cross validation. And the experimental results shows in higher accuracy with ours proposed architecture and in our proposed architecture results we remove the randomness from the model. In the proposed architecture we can again rebuild developing our model using Keras Callback function by using this feature in our model it does not create any major difference in terms of accuracy. But as we know the accuracy will vary with parameter tuning. The main advantage of using Keras Callback function method is it’s saves a lot of time for building model and it is easy for debugging the model.

52 Published By: Blue Eyes Intelligence Engineering & Sciences Publication Retrieval Number: E2749115515/2015©BEIESP Abstract— One of the largest, most important and constantly growing industries in the world is, without doubt, tourism. Such rapid growth calls for enticing ways to engage tourists and keep them interested, which is a big challenge for the professionals, having to maintain standards and increasing expectations of tourists. Tools such as augmented reality (AR) hold a vast potential in attracting and retaining visitors. The rise in smart mobile devices only boosts this further as it becomes possible to have information and tour generation at one’s fingertips. In this paper, we first try to enlist all the limitations and challenges encountered while utilizing concepts of AR to develop a tour guide system. We describe various state-of-the-art AR applications that provide such service, having their own set of drawbacks, and we give a brief introduction to our proposed system. All the facts and literature we have surveyed and studies related to various aspects of developing an AR-based tourism system are presented in the paper, which include several methods and algorithms that can be used for image comparison required to recognize objects of interest.

Time Series Mesoscale Response of Atlantic Menhaden Brevoortia tyrannus to Variation in Plankton Abundances

Abstract A time series of relative abundance of Atlantic menhaden Brevoortia tyrannus was compared with concomitant time series of phytoplankton and zooplankton abundance in the York River, Virginia. Menhaden catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE) was measured from pound net catches and disaggregated by fish size. Phytoplankton and zooplankton were enumerated and assigned to general taxonomic categories from collection stations in proximity to the pound nets. The CPUE data were divided into juvenile and adult categories and segmented over time based on transition points in the time series identified using sequential t test analysis of regime shifts (STARS). Transitions in adult CPUE were more closely associated with transitions in zooplankton abundance than with changes in phytoplankton abundance. The data suggest that menhaden adjust their mesoscale distributions within a large estuarine system like Chesapeake Bay based on changing patterns of zooplankton prey and independently of phytoplankton blooms. This distribution preference is attributed to the efficiency in which the fish filter various sizes of particles from the water column. The exception to this trend occurred in late summer when menhaden abundance declined in the York River despite the high abundance of suitable prey. This was likely the result of a bloom of the ichthyotoxic dinoflagellate Cochlodinium polykrikoides, which maintained densities known to be lethal to fish for 1 month. Collectively, these results suggest that adult menhaden play a minimal role in providing ecosystem filtration and may actually promote primary production through the removal of zooplankton grazers and the excretion of nutrients.

Background Dual-task paradigms are used to investigate gait and cognitive declines in older adults (OA). Optic-flow is a virtual reality environment where the scene flows past the subject while walking on a treadmill, mimicking real-life locomotion. Aims To investigate cost of environment (no optic-flow v. optic-flow) while completing single-and dual-task walking and dual-task costs (DTC; single-v. dual-task) in optic-flow and no optic-flow environments. Methods Twenty OA and seven younger adults (YA) walked on a self-paced treadmill in 3-min segments per task and both environments. Five task conditions included: no task, semantic fluency (category), phonemic fluency (letters), word reading, and serial-subtraction. Results OAs had a benefit of optic-flow compared to no optic-flow for step width ( p = 0.015) and step length ( p = 0.045) during letters compared to the YA. During letters, OA experienced improvement in step width DTC; whereas YA had a decrement in step width DTC from no optic-flow to optic-flow ( p = 0.038). During serial-subtraction, OA had less step width DTC when compared to YA in both environments ( p = 0.02). Discussion During letters, step width and step length improved in OA while walking in optic-flow. Also, step width DTC differed between the two groups. Sensory information from optic-flow appears to benefit OA. Letters relies more on verbal ability and word knowledge, which are preserved in aging. However, YA use a complex speech style during dual tasking, searching for complex words and an increased speed of speech. Conclusions OA can benefit from optic-flow by improving spatial gait parameters, specifically, step width, during dual-task walking.
Model System Controls on Conditions for Formation of Magnesiocarbonatite and Calciocarbonatite Magmas from the Mantle

Experimental data indicate that carbonate-rich magmas may be generated at depths greate than ∼70 km by partial melting of carbonated peridotite. The near-solidus magmas lie on the liquidus field boundary between silicates and carbonates. Liquid compositions are dominated by th system CaCO_3–MgCO_3, and precise compositions (e.g. Ca/Mg) are define by the peridotite mineralogy (e.g. harzburgite, lherzolite, wehrlite); alkali contents reflect directly the peridotite composition. These liquids are dolomitic, with Ca/(Ca + Mg) between 0.7 and 0.5 from 2 GPa to at least 7 GPa. At conditions of mantle melting, there is a large separation between the silicate–carbonate liquid immiscibility volume, the silicate–carbonate liquidus field boundary, and probable liquid paths. The formation of carbonate-rich liquids immiscible with silicate magmas in the mantle is therefore unlikely, which denies the generation of immiscible CaCO_3 ocelli and primary natrocarbonatite magmas. Rising carbonate-rich magmas retaining equilibrium with mantle lherzolite will react, crystallize and release CO_2 vapor at depths of ∼70 km, increasing clinopyroxene/orthopyroxene in the rock. Primary magnesiocarbonatite magmas (dolomitic) can be erupted explosively from this depth. Given sufficient magma, lherzolite can be converted to wehrlite by this decarbonation reaction. At shallower depths, wehrlite (but no other peridotite) can coexist with carbonatite magma relatively enriched in Ca/Mg. If metasomatism of lherzolite to wehrlite can occur through depth of tens of kilometers, our new data at 1 GPa confirm an earlier proposal that primary calciocarbonatite magmas can be generated at some depth between 70 km and 40 km, but indicate considerably higher silicate components. The shallowest magmas contain a maximum of 73 wt % CaCO_3 (equivalent to 89% CaCO_3 in the carbonate components of the liquid) with 18% silicate components at 1 GPa. Phase relations in the system CaO–MgO–CO_2–H_2O show that magnesiocarbonatite magmas can precipitate sovites (calciocarbonatite rocks).

This study investigates spatiotemporal gait adjustments that occur while stepping over virtual obstacles during treadmill walking in people with/without diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). Eleven adults with Type 2 diabetes mellitus, ten DPN, and 11 age-matched healthy adults (HTY) participated in this study. They stepped over forthcoming virtual obstacles during treadmill walking. Outcomes such as success rate, spatiotemporal gait characteristics during obstacle crossing, and correlations between these variables were evaluated. The results partially supported our hypotheses that when comparing with HTY and DM, people with DPN adopted a crossing strategy which decreased obstacle crossing success rate and maximal toe elevation, and increased stride time and stance time during virtual obstacle crossing. This might be due to the compromised somatosensory functions of their lower extremity which may increase the risk of falling. This study also found an inter-leg relationship which may be applied to future stepping or obstacle crossing training that incorporates both legs as a means for improving outcomes of the trailing leg during daily obstacle negotiation.
A Study on the Job-housing Spatial Balance of Beijing

In the process of socio-economic development and planning construction of Chinese cities,the spatial patterns of job-housing have undergone tremendous changes,and the mismatch of job-housing has led to a se-ries of traffic and social problems.This paper defines a measurement of job-housing balance,through question-naires and on-site visits in four communities of Beijing in 2008,and then studies their spatial patterns.Further,this paper compares the situation of job-housing balance between citizens with different socio-economic attri-butes.The results show that the job-housing balance of residents has been destroyed in Beijing,especially in the large-scale work and residence centers.By analyzing the relationship between the social-economic attributes and job-housing balance of residents,we find that the most prominent features of the balanced group are more than 50 years old or engaging in public service or living in the accommodation provided by the corporation or staying with friends/relatives for a transitional period.In contrast,the nuclear families,dwelling owners or the laborers who are engaged in production of farming forestry,animal husbandry and fishery tend to be more im-balanced in job-housing.

High-resolution magnetic resonance imaging investigation of the connection between the triglyceride-glucose index and intracranial arterial remodeling: a retrospective cross-sectional study

Background Insulin resistance (IR) is associated with atherosclerotic plaque progression and the occurrence of stroke, with the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index serving as a surrogate indicator. The present study aimed to investigate the association between TyG index levels and intracranial arterial remodeling in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Methods Patients with AIS who visited the Neurology Department of the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University and underwent high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HR-MRI) between September 2018 and October 2021 were enrolled. A total of 123 patients were finally included in the study, with 81 excluded. The TyG index levels were measured, and the characteristics of intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) plaques were evaluated using HR-MRI. A logistic regression model was employed to analyze the relationship between TyG index levels and remodeling mode. Patients were divided into two groups, positive remodeling (PR) and non-positive remodeling (non-PR), based on the remodeling index (RI). Results Patients in the PR group had a higher TyG index than those in the non-PR group {median [interquartile range (IQR)]: 9.11 (8.82–9.51) vs. 8.72 (8.30–9.23), P<0.001}. After adjusting factors such as age and gender, the TyG index was found to be significantly correlated with intracranial arterial PR [odds ratio (OR): 3.169, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.327–7.569, P=0.009]. In non-diabetes mellitus (DM) patients, the TyG index level in the PR group was significantly higher than that in the non-PR group (8.95±0.42 vs. 8.50±0.45, P<0.001), whereas there was no such difference in patients with DM. Conclusions TyG index was correlated with intracranial vessel PR, indicating that the TyG index level may be a useful marker for predicting intracranial vessel PR.

Experimental soft‐sediment deformation: structures formed by the liquefaction of unconsolidated sands and some ancient examples

The effects of liquefaction in saturated sand bodies under a variety of driving forces are described from shaking table experiments, and structures from the geological record are presented which are analogous to the experimental structures. The collapse of sloping heaps of cross-bedded sand under a gravitational body force generates low-angle, essentially uncontorted stratification. A basal zone of shearing may be present, with steepened and folded foresets. Stretching of foresets may be accommodated on normal faults, and bottomsets may be contorted into inclined folds. In natural systems the substrate may also liquefy, causing deformation driven by an unevenly distributed confining load. Stratification in the surface bedform is flattened, and stratification in the substratum contorted. Experiments failed to produce relative displacement at the interface between stacked sand bodies. Liquefaction of gravitationally unstable systems in sands generates load structures comparable to those from sand-mud systems. Recumbent-folded deformed cross-bedding is formed by current shear over a liquefied bed, as has been inferred from field and theoretical analyses. Shear of nonliquefied sand forms angular folds. Other deformation mechanisms, such as fluidization or seepage, may generate structures similar to all of these. Local water-escape structures driven by fluidization occur in the upper parts of some liquefied sand bodies. They include cusps, sand volcanoes and clastic dykes. Transient cavities formed in some experiments and seemed to be preserved as breached cusps. Although the experiments tried to isolate individual driving forces, driving forces may operate together, and there may be a continuum between deformation driven by water escape and deformation driven by loading. Different structures from those described here may form where liquefaction develops in a buried layer as opposed to at the sediment surface.
Know your enemy: software risk management

Software engineers are eternal optimists. When planning software projects, we often assume that everything will go exactly as planned. Or, we take the other extreme position: the creative nature of software development means we can never predict what’s going to happen, so what’s the point of making detailed plans? Both of these perspectives can lead to software surprises, when unexpected things happen that throw the project off track. In my experience, software surprises are never good news.
An analysis of referral patterns for dizziness in the primary care setting.

BACKGROUND The majority of balance disorders are non life-threatening and symptoms will resolve spontaneously. However, some patients require further investigation and many disorders may benefit from specialist treatment it is unclear whether appropriate identification and referral of this group of patients presently occurs. AIM To review the management of patients with symptoms of dizziness within primary care. METHOD A retrospective review of the management of 503 patients who visited their general practitioner (GP) complaining of dizziness between August 1993 and July 1995. Management was then compared with local criteria. RESULTS On average, 2.2% of patients per year at the practices studied consulted their GP about dizziness, amounting to 0.7% of all consultations. The most common GP diagnosis was of an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) disorder (33.8%). Similarly, many of the 16% referred were directed to ENT (36%) specialists. The proportion of patients referred was significantly higher in those seeing their GP at least twice, those with symptoms lasting a year or more, or where there were additional symptoms associated with the dizziness, indicative of a cardiac, ENT, or neurological disorder. Compared with the local criteria, 17% of management decisions were deemed inappropriate. The major failing was not referring appropriate patients. This group comprised patients with chronic, non-urgent symptoms, and were significantly older than those appropriately referred. CONCLUSION Patients with chronic symptoms of dizziness, particularly the elderly, are under-referred for specialist consultation and, therefore, do not have access to appropriate treatment regimes. This suggests a need for further training of GPs and evaluation of therapeutic needs of elderly dizzy patients.
